US election

[yankinoz]

I voted by absentee ballot for a functioning adult. If Trump wins, don't blame me.

 

[razz]

I am a self confessed election geek yankinoz. There is plenty going on in the US election to keep me interested for a long time. And who knows how long this will go on for, in particular, if Trump takes to the courts.

 

[JDW81]

Well he’s stacked the Supreme Court with republican cronies, so he’ll have some friends in high places if it makes it that far.

Let’s just hope it doesn’t descend into a civil war. Lots of conspiracy theory nutters with lots of guns and itchy trigger fingers who’d love nothing more than a good old fashioned rebellion at the behest of their self-absorbed, Psychotic leader.

 

[Sidney Harbour-Bridge]

Most likely civil unrest and looting if Trump wins. Though the war of independance was to rid them of tyrannical oppression, if the marksist wins it could be re-run I suppose.

 

[RRising]

Surely the US has a "sore loser" law just in case a petulant child like Trump digs himself in and refuses to leave.

Don't you know it was all a conspiracy by thousands of libtards which the FBI and CIA and NSA all failed to figure out, but Trump has a "knack" for finding out these things. Its a giant conspiracy to steal the election for the lizard people who live underground and control the media, perpetuating fake news against the woke MAGA elite....

That was sarcasm incase people think I wear a tinfoil hat!

 

[Malted Mick]

You reeled me in on that post, as I was reading it I thought you were a paid up member of Anon.

IDK... thats what someone who wears a tinfoil hat would want us to think.

I'm onto you.

 

[kadmium]

I only wear a mask outside because the contrails are a mind control serum sprayed by big pharma to indoctrinate the masses. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

hahaha

 

[philrob]

Seems like the USA voters might send Mr President a message: YOU'RE FIRED
I am not interested in who wins, as I'm not a USA voter. Just trying a bit of humour.

 

[yankinoz]

The fun and horrors are just beginning. Look for numerous court fights, efforts to get electors to flip and GOP-controlled state legislature talking about defying their own state laws and the election and name a Trump slate of electors.

Kadmium, you missed the Bill Gates led plot to use a fake virus to recruit child slaves for Hillary's sex ring.

 

[YAPN]

if the marksist wins

Americans are funny. They are ok with their elected officials believing in 'speaking in tongues' but socialism is beyond the pale.

Jeeze you've been sucked in. The FBI, CIA, NSA, etc. didn't "fail to figure it out."

They are a leading part of the conspiracy! Especially the FBI....

Government Health Warning: This post contains more than the daily recommended dose of sarcasm.

Wednesday night "Planet America" Friday night "Planet America" it's about the only TV the wife and I watch together (she's more The sound of music, and I'm more Formula one) Trump is the only candidate that generates enough comedy to fuel two TV shows a week, if Biden wins we'll be lucky to get a show a month, and that makes me sad yank.
All jokes aside there's some serious issues over there which is why trump got elected in the first place, and "if things don't change, they'll stay the way they are"
I wonder how we'll treat American refugees, Christmas Island? mmm probably not.

 

[MHB]

You have to watch Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, and maybe Archer if you think nothing good can come out of Georgia.

I'd understand that if this were a game of American football or something.

The appointment of the leader of the most powerful nation in the world affects us all.

 

[philrob]

I'm also not interested in any form of football, or horseracing, or V8 suckercars, or F1 nonsense. I prefer to keep my life as simple as possible. I'm ready for a cleansing ale to wash away the fatigue of this morning's golf round.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

It's not looking good for the people of America, whoever is president will have a split government. Dems have the lower house Rep have the upper house, in these times you need a president who has control of both houses in order to drive through a recovery for the economy. All they are heading for is more ineffective government along with all the partisan dirty politics that seems to have overtaken any need to represent the peoples needs. I'm so glad I live in Australia!

Oh, I thought you were talking about Australia.

At least our government is fairly moderate in comparison to USA. I mean Scomo may be a ... but the opposition is not much better. I have little faith left in government, but we are a far cry from the turmoil headed down on USA. At least we governed through COVID in a fairly unified manner.

You don't live in Melbourne do you

 

[Vini2ton]

Donald J Trump. What can I say? I have really never trusted anyone who doesn't drink. Can you imagine playing ball with him as a kid? He probably didn't play with local kids. HE FIRED THEM ALL!

Too true mate, the comment was a bit tongue in cheek, in reality our state governments have aced it, federal on the other hand........... secret trip and cocktails in Hawaii while his country burns wtf! "Oh in hindsight that was a mistake" REALLY! And it's the states that have done the heavy lifting with Covid, we'll see how federal handles the recovery, I'm hopeful but not optimistic.
The Canberra bubble is little more than a Punch and Judy show, I voted for the sex party, and the very fast train party, figured if there was an orgy going on I needed to get there before it was over.
Two things you should never discuss in a pub, politics, and religion, and this is a forum for brewers who I assume are doing their due diligence and QA'ing their product so I'll leave it at that.

 

[Ballaratguy]

I don’t vote. Why?
The government always wins

 

[JDW81]

See ya later Donald, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out of the White House.

Before that happens, expect 2+ months of madness. Right now he thinks the Supreme Court will name him the winner (they can't) or that his clowncar collection of lawyers will overturn several state votes (they won't). After that he goes nuts. He never admits fault or defeat and he always seeks revenge. Look for firings and scorched-earth.

 

[Grmblz]

Noooooo!!! damn,bugger,arse, there goes my twice weekly "Planet America" entertainment
Oh well, at least the next two months should be fun.
Although I'm a bit fearful his more radical supporters might do something even more stupid than voting for him.

I think it were in Pennsylvania where a couple of Trump supporters got arrested for trying to deliver fake ballots, drove to the counting place in a Hummer loaded with Trump/Pence and MAGA bumper stickers and a QAnon hat and they were loaded to the teeth.

 

[RobB]

So he has caught COVID, lost his job and is about to be evicted. Sounds like a pretty normal 2020 to me.

 

[cedric]

i'll miss him.
we actually started watching his whitehouse interviews regularly.
best comedy i've seen in years.
