Reports that Trump has won or atleast had enough votes in the latest batch to come in to win Arizona.

What reports? Have a link?

Last I saw there weren’t going to be any vote count update for Maricopa County (AZ) until around 9 PM Eastern tonight?
 
Don’t understand the Arizona situation. Thought they only call the States when they are near-dead certs but googling it it does appear that Trump is cutting Biden’s lead (fairly significantly) and there’s still a couple of hundred thousands of votes left to count. Not trolling, just legit thought they call them when it’s basically mathematically impossible/improbable.
 
After doing the rounds on various eclectic websites it's obvious that the protests are getting more sinister from every side, if you're an American law enforcement officer on the front line my sympathy is with you.

Getting rid of Trump via the ballot box is a good thing, but it wont be enough for some of these people, the Democrats have their hands full because these protestors wont stop they'll expect appeasement from the Democrats and that appeasement will manifest in vengeance.

Another thing apart from the protesting barmpots is the armed militia outside voting stations, what's up with these people?

There are over 400K left to count but Biden has a lead in the two most urban counties where the vast majority of the votes are.

Thinking about things earlier, seeing one group of pro-Trump supporters demanding counting be stopped in Michigan and another demanding it carry on in Arizona. I simply couldn't imagine either of the Bush's, Reagan or even the notoriously paranoid Nixon encouraging their supporters to carry on like this

That’s because no one has acted in American politics like Trump before. He’s a one off, a terrible human and he would love to be a lifetime dictator. He. Is. Not. Normal.

Rearding the future, I'm afraid Trump isn't going anywhere soon. He will run for 2024, not least because being a rival presidential candidate makes it very difficult for a Biden regime to prosecute him for his various crimes,

Yes I’ve read similar also. Seems it will take death to rid the world of this **** being relevant.

If we had it written in to Law that we had "The Right to Bare Arms", it would mean that we could all roll our sleeves up if the temperature ever got into the 70's.

Agree. And hopefully his brand of politics does not translate to future candidates. I think the GOP have a massive problem in where they go in 4 years time. Already talk of Trump standing again in 2024. Can anyone else carry of his style and approach.

Its easy to find another Biden or a better one - not so easy to follow Trump.

Why is getting Trump out good for America?

His trade wars were fucking the economy before coronavirus. His tax-cut for the rich increased the national debt by 50% in under 4 years. He wanted to kill medicare for all during a pandemic. He refused to pass an economic package to help people during the pandemic, but gave 2 trillion to big business.

He killed a few hundred thousand by lying about the virus, he made the country best prepared for a pandemic suffer the worst from it. He refused to use a prepared pandemic playbook because Obama implemented it. He gave out PPE and emergency equipment based on states being republican/democrat. He gave billions of dollars worth of contracts for PPE to his donors who never delivered working PPE.

He appointed 200 partisan judges, some of whom were deemed unfit for the office, he stoked the racial tensions in the country at every opportunity, he banned muslims from entering the country, he stripped protections for immigrant children. He forcibly deported 60,000 haitians who were being allowed to live and work in the US while Haiti rebuilds from the earthquake.

He asked a foreign country to interfere in the election. He caused the biggest government lockdown in history. He made a well known white supremacist his head strategist. He assassinated Iran's #2 general in a foreign country without notifying anyone.

He destroyed whistleblower protections, he had his people illegally spread the name of the whistleblower who came forward against him and then sought out a personal vendetta that spread to even firing Lt Vindman's brother from the army.

He took the US out of the paris climate accord, approved oil pipelines through protected land, he stripped protections from the national forests, he gutted the EPA and replaced qualified, experienced people with donors and oil/gas lobbyists. He made a climate change denier the head of the white house committee on climate change, he made an anti-abortion lobbyist the head of the family planning program in poor areas.

And then there's all the day to day little stuff - the racism, the sexism, the general degrading of the office, the destroying of the everyday norms that make things work - like following a court order or subpoena, instead of forcing every single one into the courts for 6 months.

So that's the stuff "anyone but trump" won't do.

And so it's great for Americans and it's great for us because the American economy, their attitude to the environment and their politics in general all effects us. Look how BLM spread to this country or how Steve Bannon and Cambridge analytica brought their election meddling to Britain. Think about how we negotiate a trade deal with someone who thinks he has to be the out and out, unbeatable winner of every deal he makes.

Yeah, apart from that?

He isn't, but he has been normalised. This type of politics and politician are here to stay, unfortunately.
