Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
This is what I found weird. All week people have been calling it the closest race in decades. Didn’t Hilary win the popular vote at the last election, it was that close?
Biden will have won the popular vote by more than Clinton did, the same electoral college margin as Trump but with bigger margins in Wisconsin, PA and Michigan.

In 2016, Trump won:
- Wisconsin by 20k votes
- Michigan by 11k votes
- Pennsylvania by 44k votes

Had Hillary Clinton got roughly 80k more votes in a country of 320m million, she would have won it. It was close as feck, just some analysts and Trump fans tried to pretend it was some sort of decisive victory. Compared to that election, this one will end up being less close actually, considering that Biden won Michigan alone by something like 145k, and his margin will be higher than Trump's was in Pennsylvania.

And of course both 2020 and 2016 are basically landslides compared to 2000. Now that was close.

Just can’t get over how old he is/looks. The man will be 82 by the time of the next election ffs. He looks like one bad fall away from being permanently crippled.
I expect him to be a one term president

Look at those sad eyes...

I sometimes wonder if he was just tweeting to play a role, or if he genuinely believed that he was the most loved president ever as he claimed so many times. If he genuinely was that deluded, then it probably comes as quite a shock to him to see people celebrating his loss like this.

Think it's something in the middle.

When you start believing your lies and all that.

Thing is he got the highest amount of votes by a republican candidate ever so surely he has a cult following. The ever higher amounts of votes for Biden is probably purely on how much they hate Trump. Nah, I think he's always known that everyone but the republicans hate his guts.

Hasn't he always been a bit like this? I'm sure I remember him doing weird things like pretending Trump tower had more floors than it did in order to brag about it.

Quite wholesome watching people celebrate in NYC, Atlanta and other major cities. Much needed positivity after a dreadful year.

Head to Parler for five minutes. You will see the deluded. He played them so well.

He probably believes some of it, but the grift in Trump would have kept him in check somewhat.

Reporters should be asking trump how shite he must be to get beat by sleepy joe. If according to trump sleepy joe is pathetic then trumps worse by his own logic :lol:

I actually would like to check out this site to see the insanity, but I saw you have to sign up to view any profiles and such, so I'd rather not. Too much effort.
