dangerous cunt

My mother likes him... My folks are still Trumpers. My soul hurts.

That's grim.

Vance is far more dishonest and evil than Trump.
He is younger and healthier.
A fundamentalist fanatic.
Much worse than Trump.
Much much worse.

Except that he (and all the magacolytes) don't have the Donald's draw. It all gets marginalised without him.

(and I'm very pleased with making up that word).

What's this Trumps lacky like?

Trump appointed him after they tried to shoot him. As an insurance policy so he doesn't get shot again...

He's got more intellectual heft and ideology than Trump, could potentially take things in a new direction if he gets a turn. Not interested in Europe.

As an insurance policy so he doesn't get shot again...

Can you explain this?

Sounds like an old Dave Chapelle joke that the first black US president should appoint a Latino male as VP because the people most likely to want to do something to him would be even more upset at having a Latino as president.

If you hate Vance more than you hate Trump, then shooting Trump is an own goal as you get Vance

This is all assuming Trump hasn't changed the constitution to make the presidency hereditary before he snuffs it.

The description of the US as a fascism-curious country pretty much nailed it

What an odd story. A 6-resident voting district, split 3-3, with one guy saying he was surprised by the results and was also ‘taken aback by his (own) vote for Trump’.

What?

Oh man, it's a small sample, but some Arab-American voters in Michigan (rightly) pissed off with Harris for her stance on Gaza are voting for Trump now.

They are going to be very disappointed if he wins.

Channel 4 coverage with Boris Johnson and Sean Spicer? Really?

Why not? This is clearly the darkest timeline in a world going mad.

Yeah I though exactly this.

Hang on, Channel 4 have Stormy Daniels up next, hoping they will cut to Kim Wilde and Danni Minogue before midnight

Harris,it won't be close, good night.

Doesn't look good so far

Don't get too caught up yet, they are still counting in nearly all of those states. States being "called" with 3% of votes counted.

Glass half full- maybe a world where the US is a splintered collection of feudal countries would be good for mediaeval tourism?

Let the shitshow commence. Anyone else watching from the US?
