I love this presentation. -- (link) - amanda jeans Nov 6, 09:32 1
- agreed, this is easy to see. % left is a confusing metric. -- nm - colin 🍆 Nov 6, 09:34
Jake Tapper just now. "If you think what you see on Fox News right now, you should see the twitter feed of the President's spawn. It's like rantings - pmb Nov 6, 09:30 5

      - Bet it tastes epic -- nm - budice Nov 6, 09:36 1
        
        Bet it smells ... musky. - Beryllium Nov 6, 09:39
I'm not going to lie. I'm loving the spectacle of his slow motion defeat. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 09:22 3
- Thats what I said the other day the slow knife twist rather than the fast kill -- nm - eag Nov 6, 09:39
- ditto...drag it out as long as possible. Make him watch this from his couch. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 6, 09:24 1
  - The impotent flailing of his cult members is delicious. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 09:26
Trump needs ~ 70% of what's left in Nevada. That should be called. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 09:20 6
- I get why FOX/AP haven't called it yet, not the others -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 09:23 5
  - Keeps people tuned in (?) -- nm - budice Nov 6, 09:24 4
    - If Fox/AP call NV, they have to call the election since they called AZ -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 09:29
    - Margins are close and no one wants to have to issue a retraction -- nm - TWuG Nov 6, 09:25 2
      - That as well, but lets not forget about the desire for ratings -- nm - budice Nov 6, 09:26 1
        
        I would bet there is a very slim few who would turn it off if it was called and we were into the post-game analysis phase of this thing. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 6, 09:28
Neat. Someone I went to high school with who lived in my neighborhood co-wrote a song used in the Netflix "Holidate" movie -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 09:16 5
- I watched the first five minutes of that yesterday but then heard the siren song of Trading Christmas. -- nm - David Nov 6, 09:18 4
  - Holidate isn’t too bad. Last ten minutes are weak but it’s got some decent stuff. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 6, 09:34
  - The movie uses more cuss words than a Philly poll worker - Pippy Nov 6, 09:26
  - I also name dropped you last night. Some people were talking about Disney and I think their kids were at the park or were planning a trip - oblique Nov 6, 09:20 1
    - Always happy to help. -- nm - David Nov 6, 09:35

  - Lead Singer or Bass Player? -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 6, 09:23 2
    - Definitely the bass player, but he also has a surprising talent for writing keyboard solos. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 09:24 1
      - He wrote their only ballad which became a surprise hit. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 6, 09:25
  - so much baritone yelling! -- nm - rollo Nov 6, 09:15 1

- collar county? -- nm - prayformojo Nov 6, 09:11 1
  - Sorry I just John King'ed you. It's the term he's been using for the blue counties that surround Philly like a collar. -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 09:12

  - Kid needed room but she confirmed what I needed so off again. -- nm - spamlet Nov 6, 09:44
- You can stream on Discord itself too, I don't know if that would work better? -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 09:11 9
  - WOuldn't everyone need Discord to watch though? -- nm - spamlet Nov 6, 09:11 8
    - yes -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 09:13 7
      - I think I have everything set up right. I was just testing. I guess I could play Railroad Tycoon or something instead :) -- nm - spamlet Nov 6, 09:14 6
        
        this for the among us games? - tRuMaN Nov 6, 09:18 5
        
        Gonna try -- nm - spamlet Nov 6, 09:22 4

        I mentioned wanting to play yesterday. I was open to playing tonight or tomorrow night. Whatever worked best for the most people. I'll play - Krusty Nov 6, 09:42 2
        
        We have D&D tonight so it will have to be tomorrow unless Bear Force One doesn’t land on time. -- nm - spamlet Nov 6, 09:44 1

11,900 mail ballots were found at mail facilities and delivered yesterday in states where deadlines haven't passed. -- (link) - budice Nov 6, 08:54 2

- 1,703 ballots in Penn and 540 in NC — 2,243 total between the two swing states -- (link) - budice Nov 6, 08:59
I imagine all the networks are a little gunshy at this point in regards to CALLING IT. Although I suspect they have very specific metrics to meet. -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 08:50 10
- I think they want the actuals in PA to pad Biden's bit a lead first. They know it will happen, this thing is over. - ty97 Nov 6, 08:57 2
  - There's a bit of savoring, I think. - Mel Profit Nov 6, 09:11 1
    - "Maybe this one helps, Don. Ooohhh, nope! Rotten luck!" -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 09:14
- One of the states has to call I think -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 08:54 4
  - I don't see why. Media has called many states that the states themselves haven't. (Do states really call before certification?) -- nm - mara Nov 6, 09:00 3
    - The states do no such thing, that's the AP -- nm - con_carne Nov 6, 09:03 2
      - Not just AP, there are several outlets that make calls. But yeah, it's the news outlets that make calls. - ty97 Nov 6, 09:09 1
        
        The news outlets can say Kanye won if they think it'll get clicks. The Associated Press is the top authority. Remember, they supply the stories. -- nm - con_carne Nov 6, 09:23
- AP -- (link) - znufrii Nov 6, 08:52 1
  - They're letting the AP count votes? FAKE NEWS! -- nm - jnine Nov 6, 09:17
We already know his codename, so we know it's not this, but it would be funny ... -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 6, 08:50 1

      - Dirty Jack Sparrow softcore? -- nm - budice Nov 6, 09:00
      - aka the John Cusack path. -- nm - Remlik Nov 6, 08:56 3
        
        I sometimes wonder why cusack is on that path -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 08:57 2
        
        huge pain-in-the-ass apparently -- nm - decline Nov 6, 09:03
        
        Notoriously difficult to work with. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 09:00
So, Mitch thinks he can block the Cabinet nominees. He already taught us that he is irrelevant. Let em all be Acting. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 08:46 6
- I don't think they will block cabinet nominees. Courts are a different matter. -- nm - pmb Nov 6, 08:50 2
  - Mitch already hinted he would contest Cabinet. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 08:56 1
    - I just don't see it. Democrats approved most but the worst of cabinet appointees (at least in the first round until they got progressively worse). - pmb Nov 6, 09:07
- Yaasssssss -- nm - Epiphany Nov 6, 08:47
- seriously. take all the leeway that Trump did in running his campaign, there's no reason to play by rules that don't mean anything. -- nm - colin 🍆 Nov 6, 08:47 1
  - Right? You guys rewrote the rules, so, thanks! -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 08:51
Here's a pretty irrelevant but fun fact: -- (link) - mara Nov 6, 08:44 5
- Oh, that's great. N will be happy. He has a book autographed by Mark Kelly. -- nm - kelly Nov 6, 08:47
- Glenn and....who? -- nm - prayformojo Nov 6, 08:45 3
  - Bill Nelson (Florida) -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 6, 08:48 2
    - Nelson and a Utah senator went up in the mid-80’s as Congressional observers -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 6, 08:50 1

My new glasses came today! I can finally see stuff! Thanks, Joe Biden! -- nm - prayformojo Nov 6, 08:39 3
- One of the funniest things I heard Michelle Obama say on a podcast was how the kids use "Thanks, Obama" at home to poke at their dad. - oblique Nov 6, 08:41 2

My entire family here in Georgia voted for Trump. I am cutting my visit short. -- nm - Qale Nov 6, 08:39 10
- I'm sorry. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 09:28
- I'm sorry. I have been grappling with the gut wrenching realization that a lot of my friends here voted for Trump. - JaxSean Nov 6, 08:58
- Yeah. That's tough. -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 6, 08:55
- I know multiple Florida family member did, though I don't know the full breakdown on everyone. - ty97 Nov 6, 08:54
