I heard a variation on this earlier today!

“If you are still having an election after 4 days, aren’t you supposed to go to hospital and see a doctor?”

It's Viagla politics, where you have an election and it lasts for days.

At this rate Biden will be up for the re election, I can’t believe it takes this long to count the small amount of votes left

He has a stutter. A neurological condition of which there is no known cure- He has however been able to successfully overcome it by managing his public speaking. One of them is how he writes his speeches. He admitted that he writes them in a style akin to the "king's speech".

Some of the instances when he "forgot" something like Obama's name when he called him "my boss" he was stopping himself stuttering mid-flow by substituting a word or phrase that was easier to say. When he said he was running for senate, he was referencing when he earlier ran for the senate and the video was selectively edited. The selectively edited videos have an element of believability because the stuttering seems like he has forgot something and the longer pauses he puts in his speeches to regulate himself from speaking too quickly and bringing on the stutter.

But that is all it is- a stutter.

It will be nice to have a president who thinks before he speaks.
 
As the self declared leaders of the free-world shouldn’t they be showing the rest of us how it is done? Give me our antiquated pencil, paper and rubber band system anytime, it has stood the test of time.

P.S. - We also have postal voting in the UK and I do not recall us having any problems with it.

Apparently since they realised they were going to lose, the Republicans have a deliberate tactic of delaying things now. Having their observers challenge as many ballots as possible so that it takes longer and casts doubt on the process.

As a follow on from my previous post. Has any sitting PM, who failed to get re-elected, had a paddy and refused to leave office - I thought not. The new PM moves into No.10 within days.

Brown hung on trying to get support from the Lib Dems until they made the worst decision for the country (and the party) and put the Tories in.

Brown the bastard who singlehandedly ruined company pensions schemes by removing the tax allowances in one of his budgets. The man should have been hung, drawn and quartered.

I think in normal circumstances the sitting President would have conceded by now but they would have kept counting, just that no one would be paying attention

That said, I agree with you. They know there was going to be loads of mail-ins, they know Trump is a scum bag who would look to undermine things so I would have thought they have drafted in whoever and whatever was necessary to get this all sorted

Maybe they have done and it’s still not enough, who knows?

With the threat of litigation hanging over them and the baseless accusations before a single vote was cast, I can.

They are having to ensure every single vote counted and every single vote discounted are correct so as not to allow a challenge of the whole process, with the backdrop of the postal service already suspected of attempting to suppress some of the votes, hence why there are so many provisional votes that each have to be verified.

Incredible. Yet, as expected.

A texting company run by one of President Donald Trump’s top campaign officials sent out thousands of targeted, anonymous text messages urging supporters to rally where votes were being counted in Philadelphia on Thursday, falsely claiming Democrats were trying to steal the presidential election, the Associated Press reports:

“ALERT: Radical Liberals & Dems are trying to steal this election from Trump! We need YOU!”

Fake news.

Yes Brown hurt pensions through tax raids.
As did Nigel Lawson.
As did George Osborne.
Not to mention companies being allowed to take contribution holidays on schemes that were in surplus or Asset stripped pension funds.
