I’m hoping the Secret Service know that such a fence can be breached by someone armed only with a Twix

Latest message from my friend in Pennsylvania, volunteering at a polling station: “A little concerned. Seen lots of black, Latino, and Asian folks casting their lot for Donald Trump. But we're less than 2 hours in.“

Just listening to todays Americast Podcast and they're saying as the thinking is that Pennsylvania is expected to take quite a long time to tabulate, the states to watch are Georgia and North Carolina who should be able to announce fairly quickly, perhaps even during the night or early morning.

Isn't Pennsylvania like a lot of places...all the Democrat voters are in the cities i.e. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh...the rural areas are more Republican.

Yep pretty much. That's one of the things that contributed to 'stop the count' last time.... Philadelphia was still to be counted and Biden was rapidly catching up with Trump.

I remain totally flabbergasted that this election can be close...

 

 

Whole lot of stupid racist people whose brains were totally broken by having a black president for 8 years and Trump has done a great job of playing in to that and dividing the country further through lies and hate. So many people completely emboldened in their ignorance and vitriol.

Its happened the world over. Most governments who presided over the post-covid cost of living crisis have been voted out.

yes, although I'd argue it was post-covid but also energy cost rises following Russia invading Ukraine. So, not really the fault of Biden, but he gets punished for it...same with Tories here, although there was a load of other factors that caused them to get kicked out (austerity/brexit/partygate/Truss).

and even less the fault of Harris, but that's the way the cookie crumbles I guess.

Anyway, Trump is going to lose.

Right?

RIGHT?!

      I agree but anyone under Rodrigo would be a sub in reality, that day would sell out in under an hour whoever is subbing, in which case Wolf Alice would make a lot of sense   The more unrealistic part of the scenario at this point is Rodrigo headlining

      All you can say is...     If he couldn't convince nations that really would've benefitted from the short-term hit of an up-front £50mil payment by this time next year, what hope did he have?   Guess we'll now just have to monitor and see if this could derail Infantino's plans to be re-elected FIFA President next year.

      Spider-Man: Brand New Day   Highlight was a bloke reacting to the post-credit scene by going "Holy f**k it's Tobey Maguire!" despite the scene having no reference to him at all. Which made my close-to-full screening of the film laugh a lot.   Film was pretty good. It was interesting as much as an exploration of the ramifications of the end of No Way Home and being about isolationism and male loneliness, which I thought it actually did quite well. Though I do ponder if I liked it as much as the other 3 Tom Holland Spider-Man movies. Sadie Sink was good tbf, while I also liked Jon Bernthal as Punisher, enough that I might go watch his Disney+ shows.   Seem to have had a Marvel kick recently having also watched Thunderbolts and Shang-Chi, both of which I thought were pretty good.

      Wolf Alice won't get headliner for Reading either, they will sub if they play, that is where their level has stopped I feel. Both TFG and Skyvip for the big shows this year was just a stretch too far. Every headliner this year is bigger than them too I'd say.   Agree with Capaldi I don't think Yungblud will be at Reading. I would guess Bludfest 3 or Download.
