Is Associate Press a good source? It seems all their projections lead to a Trump win, albeit a lower win margin compared to 2016?
It is not a bad source per see. I think forecasts now varies though.
sometimes it still amazed me that a businessman, brash and confident, albeit over-confident over nothing, no track record in politics was elected as president of USA and seem like an easy target to take down but yet here we are, with a huge chance to get re-elected…
I had to turn it off around 3am…
Wake up to this…
I guess my first take, pre-coffee, is that whoever wins, things look like they will be pretty much split down the middle.
Bodes well for anything getting done for the next however many years…
Americans have always loved a grifter.
That idea that if you work hard enough, you too could be a billionaire POTUS banging a supermodel…
It’s a complete façade, of course, but here we are…
Trump is a modern-day Jay Gatsby, it’s just he ain’t motivated by love.
I would settle for one of the three !

In reality he’s a bankrupt POTUS banging a gross plastic mannequin.
How does that sound?

It is closing in for me to throw in the towel. Will watch maybe 30 more min, and then I will get a couple of hours sleep. A black day, even if Biden wins in the end. It’s just not enough.
And now the unthinkable looks rather very possible.
We already know the Senate is probably not changing. The House is not changing. Both will see some shifts, but not in fundamental control. So, status quo, other than the Presidency, with Trump seemingly on the inside track.
No one is getting anything done for years, just luck there is nothing urgent on the horizon.
Pandemic will be completely out of control before inauguration.

Does yours leave the tail and stomach only lying on the floor like my three? I’ve learned not to walk around my house in the dark.

This is pretty depressing. Imagine having an election in which such an awful leader could potentially be re-elected?
…oh wait…

She usually leaves just the stomach. Eats the tail and all the rest. With birds she sometimes leaves a beak or claw, I guess it is rough for her to digest, though she surprisingly devours them with most feathers on. But she eats everything on a mouse, hardly leaves a blood drop, except that stomach. She doesn’t want the stomach sack, so there is usually that disgusting little stomach sack to pick up with a paper napkin and throw in the toilet.

The thing that really hit me last night when they they were talking about it was the figure - the billions - that have been spent on this election.
For this.
How many kids went to bed hungry last night in the US?
Blergh.

I’ve got 1 cat (our boy) that gets the job done and eats it and two ‘catch and release’ cats (sisters), that just aren’t very good at catching a second time. So we had a mouse brought in yesterday that they of course lost, so the maimed animal is likely going to die and rot behind the kitchen cupboards. 
Edit:. Sorry all. Election just too depressing to talk about.

You wonder if people like Fauci will just resign in the next few weeks. Why fuck around? He maxed his pension during the Clinton administration. He can no longer accomplish anything, as of this week there is nothing he can do.
Trump predictably enough claiming absolute victory, and more or less demanding the vote count stops now.

I feel you. Thankfully my cat leaves nothing a chance at escaping, it is just the nasty project of watching (and listening to that crunching sound of cat teeth penetrating a mouse skull) her clean up, which I have to do, since if she is already dragged something in, she goes amok if I try to take the bird of mouse from her. She never bites or claws me, but she does if I try to take her mouse or bird away. I have tried.
