US election 2020 live: Donald Trump's niece warns of 'dangerous months ahead' as the President is cut off by TV networks
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,221
It's ok he'll give up hope soon
Then he can go back to his old life
Bankrupting failed business ventures and gradually pissing away all the money he inherited from pop
Someone needs to shut Trump down.
He's just tweeting lies now.
For a party with a near-phobic fear of communism, their leader has become positively Stalin-esque.
Untruth after untruth.
And the sad thing is, millions of people are taking him seriously.
Personally hate politics and politicians whoever they are, and perhaps being a bit naive, but I notice that Trump is in the RED corner and Biden in the BLUE, whereas in the UK Red is the colour of the left and Blue of the Right.
Am I right? So why the "discrepancy"?
I also see that they suspect Putin has Parkinson's and may have to step down.
Or is he having trouble trying to stop himself laughing at what's going on in the US.

Found this...
"Red for Republicans and blue for Democrats was not standard until the election of 2000, when NYT and USA Today published their first full-colour election maps with that colour scheme. In fact, NBC's first ever election map on air in 1976 had bulbs that turned red for Democrat-won states and blue for Republican, based on Britain's colour scheme where red denoted liberal parties.
In other words - they just thought they'd f**k about with something that was already working perfectly well.

You are right. I don't know why though. The US is different from most countries in its colour scheme.
Seriously, lots of good politicians out there. Trump was just a supremely bad example.
And the opposition wasn't much better. Pictured in today's Daily Mail smiling with Gerry Adams.
What makes me really laugh is when certain Americans claim the Democratic Party is left wing liberal socialists!
Pfffffff
They may be more slightly slightly to the left than the republicans- but left wing?? Not even remotely

Are you taking about football, sticking a helmet and shoulder pads on ? Americans love to accessories.
Hopefully now they've dumped the Trump, the world will feel less divisive.
and Farage will fade to grey.

Who else has met Gerry Adams? Hmmm...Prince Charles, David Cameron, John Major.
Biden will be a massive improvement on Trump.
And it's official...Biden is President Elect. Hurrah!
I wonder if the fervent Trump-supporting gun-nuts will now come out to fight against the "stolen" election, or whether most will realize the moral and ethical folly of having been cheerleaders for the most un-statesmanlike US president in living memory. Good riddance to Trump's repellent style of toxicaly divisive ad hominem attacks, exploitation of racism and xenophobia, egregious lies, bullying behavior and grotesque incompetence, He has changed America for the worse. Time for Biden to try to make America "great" (more respected) again.
I think Trump relentlessly grinding through a series of doomed legal challenges will dissipate any protest- there will be no 'moment' to rise up- just a series of damp squibs. There'll be a scuffle or two tonight - but thats all. That's my hope anyway.
Ding doing, the witch is dead!
One less moron running the world
Thanks the Lord
