That explanation of the error is so pathetic. They don’t even try and come up with half believable excuses anymore.

I think only people with an insight into how design software works realise how crazy it is, but then most of the country don't have that insight, so this excuse is enough. And of course, they themselves clearly don't understand photoshop either, so I'd doubt they could even explain what went wrong.

Biden called Boris this afternoon. First European leader to get the call.

They went with technical error... errr yeah sure 

 

If 2 statements were prepared there would be no reason to edit either, you would just use the relevant one, you would not have seen the other one, If they had one already prepared and had to edit it surely it would have had Biden as the winner as that was what all the polls were saying. By releasing this they are basically saying "we thought trump was going to win, we believe he is the real winner."

Exactly!! It's not like Boris isn't used to writing 2 versions of things

Was Biden asking about the edited statement?

And Boris read from the wrong script.

Probably to tell him hands off the GFA with any luck.

Biden has spoken to the Irish PM.

It looks like the ticketing has been disabled... but not before I snapped up 10 tickets for myself. It’s free after all.

Very disappointed, centrist scum.

I love that Biden is just going about business as usual as President Elect and completely ignoring Trump. I’m not sure if he’s even mentioned Trump since winning.

[jparx]

Yeah Biden has played an absolute blinder here. Not mentioning Trump and going about the transition is the only way to go. There’s only one man leading that country now.

Prediction: those “marches” are going to be a total wet fart.

It’s the best way of dealing with any troll. Just ignore them and carry on as if they don’t exist.

One thing I don’t understand is them going on about the tv networks calling the election. This is what happens every single election and it’s never been an issue until now. Not once in any US election have they waited until all states have verified the results and it’s gone to the electors, so why is it some huge issue now? (I know it’s because Trump has lost but still).

I know it’s just so brazen of them, expecting no one to call them out on it.

[squirrelarmy]

On one hand they’re right. It’s not an official result yet. 
 

The media do have the best record of the votes so far though so they know exactly how things are going to play out. 

[FloorFiller]

It would make total sense for Republicans to be mad at Biden being called before the official count was finished... if that wasn’t how it was done every single year. Trump was perfectly happy to give a speech before he was officially called in ‘16 and it basically boils down to ‘but we didn’t win this time!’. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if this whole rigmarole is largely a move to keep the base fired up until the Georgia runoffs happen and then it’s dropped pretty swiftly afterwards (probably by everybody expect Trump). I mean, they can’t possibly think this is gonna go anywhere, right?
