    Phew, Tucker's got them back and had apparently kept copies all along. Can't wait for the next breathless installment from the man on Fox News who Fox News says reasonably minded people shouldn't believe.

    I guess that doesn't rule out several posters on here though!

    Just in the nick of time. Hope he hasn't ruined the surprise element of the October Surprise. That would be a shame.

    I still have a dread that come this time next week, Trump will be President for another four years with the prospect that he will be looking into ways he can extend his tenure beyond that, but this does sound like a desperate Politician who knows he is losing;-

    Just take in what he is saying there - how can anyone support someone who talks like that?

    I think we'll be lucky if we know this time next week.

    I'm talking about a situation where Biden concedes a Trump victory - I still think there's a chance that will happen because, just like in this country, there, apparently, are plenty who vote Republican/Conservative who are too embarrassed to admit it when asked by polling companies, the media etc. before the election.

    Don't worry, there is zero chance that Biden will concede next weekend.

    The Guardian rolling US election blog this evening:

    Donald Trump’s campaign rallies may have led to 30,000 additional confirmed cases of Covid-19, and likely resulted in more than 700 deaths overall, according to a Stanford University paper posted online this weekend.

    I wonder if they got their postal votes in first?

    It's been very quiet here recently. I thought the Trump Devotee Squad would be cranking out the disinformation, but perhaps they've jumped ship at the last moment.

    Now let's sit back and watch the show. You can't stop what's coming.

    Something from David Squires (excellent again) to pass the time while we wait for 'what's coming':

    Samer S Shehata, an associate professor of Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma, writes for us this morning on what he says is the real reason Trump is terrified to lose the presidency: fear of prosecution.

    If Trump loses the election, there may be calls to investigate and prosecute him for possible crimes involving obstruction of justice, violating the emolument clause of the constitution, and/or tax fraud, among others. Citizen Trump would face investigation without the luxury of “executive privilege” or the legal chicanery of the attorney general, William Barr, who has acted more like Trump’s personal lawyer than the nation’s top law enforcement official, to protect him. Accordingly, Trump has even more reason to lie, cheat and sow discord in order to retain office, because losing the White House could land him in court or even behind bars.

    Although special prosecutor Robert Mueller did not produce a smoking gun proving Trump conspired with Russia in the 2016 election, he clearly stated that the investigation did not exonerate Trump of wrongdoing. After the investigation, over a thousand former federal prosecutors from both parties signed a letter stating that Trump’s conduct as described in the investigation would warrant “multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice” were it not for the Office of Legal Counsel’s policy of not indicting a sitting president.

    More recent criticisms of Mueller from top aides within the investigation allege Mueller did not go far enough in exposing collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. At the very least, there is a strong case that Trump obstructed the investigation. After he leaves office there will be vocal calls to get to the bottom of Russian election interference, his campaign’s alleged collusion, and to hold the former president accountable for obstruction of justice. The outcome could very well be a subpoena for the ex-president or even an indictment.


    If Carlsberg did post election karma....

    We can only hope and pray than this vile creature is removed from office tonight, then subjected to the full force of the law and incarcerated in one of those lovely penal facilities the USA provides.

    The ultimate karma.

    If trump loses, I think there's a fair chance he leaves the US in December and doesn't come back.

    If that's the body language and messaging of a winner then he's a better con-man than even I think he was. Listen to his messaging if you want some succour. Don't talk about Pennsylvania or anywhere that isn't Texas, Arizona and possibly Florida. If this isn't throwing the towel in it is a strangely downbeat speech for a winner!

    The closer it gets, the more jittery I become, still got this awful feeling it could be 2016 all over again.

    Me too.

    This just out from Jeb Bush's camapign manager which fits inside the range of possible recent polling outcomes showing a tightening in battleground states:

    Jeb Bush's campaign manager, Danny Diaz, picks Dems to win the House and Rs to win the Senate.... Biden to win the popular vote by 6 million.... and Trump to win the Electoral College w/ 278 EVs. Total turnout: 150 million +

    Apparently Trump has e-mailed a load of Nigerians saying that he has a lot of money but it is trapped in banks because of the election and he needs their help transferring it out of the country.
