Not sure why Arizona's been called at this stage, does seem premature, but there seems to be a fair amount of certainty about it. Georgia looks like it's sure to go Republican...until you realise that nearly all the remaining 300,000 votes (of which Biden needs to win 200,000) are in places...

Indeed. WhileTrump does seem less keen on bombing other countries (I suspect not for noble reasons, but still) he does seem exceptionally keen on destroying our environment as quickly as he can in order to keep his rich mates happy. On top of withdrawing from the Paris climate agreememt...

Think you will find that the majority on here, and in the mainstream media, were pretty clear that while Biden would win the popular vote easily, it was going to be very close in swing states. And that Trump would initially look to be ahead in many of those states, with Biden gaining ground...

The only parts of your prediction I am not so convinced about is that the courts will automatically back Trump and that he'll be able to whip up substantial chaos in the meantime. It's ddefinitely the plan, now being put into execution, but I am not so sure on either count.

Does a bet on a Trump win still get paid out if the win is (eventually) in court rather than through declared results?

If the democrats position currently appeals to a majority then why would they change? It shows that they should win. Why should the interests of any one group be more important than another? That's how democracy works. In reality of course it wouldn't be as simplistically static as you paint...

Don't be silly. You do understand that, in a democracy, political parties are allowed to change don't you? A system where the Republicans have to shift their position somewhat in order to appeal to a majority across the country rather than to a minority of people, but concentrated in a few...

It may well force BoJo into doing a rapid deal with the EU (crossing his red lines with abandon, which would obviously be soo unusual for such a man of his word). With no dodgy Trump deal to dig him out of his hole, and in current circumstances he REALLY couldn't afford a no deal brexit. So a...

France reported over 800 deaths today, the highest since April and still rising Go back just 6-7 weeks and many were pointing at low death rates in France and saying no need to act because deaths were staying low even as cases rose. In response it was pointed out that there was likely to be a...

God you two. Get a room ffs. The sexual tension is unbearable.

Think this thread needs a boost...some good news on llikely post infection immunity (which is potentially good news for vaccines as well) https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/02/t-cell-covid-immunity-present-in-adults-six-months-after-first-infection Paul Morgan, a professor at Cardiff...

Price, cost, income. Is not the same as value. Increasingly what something costs, or what someone gets paid, or how much money you can make from something, is completely divorced from actual value. In my opinion like.

Even if it worked on that basis (and it doesn't seem to with any reliability) I would still disagree. Football is just a game. It's only value is in the joy it brings people. Anything that diminishes that joy diminishes it's value. Get rid.

Only 1 major improvement is needed. 1. Dump it.

Increasingly feel the same. VAR has been as bad, if not worse, than I expected. It doesn't feel live anymore. The thing that makes football the most popular spectator sport in the world is the continuity and flow of the game + the passion and tribalism of the live support. The money men at the...

So...your're saying that Trump is a VICTIM of unfair levels of scrutiny and that nobody ever questioned Obama? F*ck me that's desperate stuff.

Let me stop you there...

I wish I could give more than one thumbs up for this post. I agree that Obama was disappointing in many respects, and that can be overlooked on account of his extraordinary charisma and oratory skills. But to imply equivalence is absurd and seems to be the last bastion of defence for those...
