I'm having this circular argument with a mate who sort of supports Trump.

He: I bet Antifa and BLM will leave now that they helped get Trump out of office!
Me: You've said for the last 6 months these riots ensure a landslide victory for Trump in the election.
He: Yes, but he fecked up the great opportunity.
Me: So, BLM and Antifa conspired to get Trump out of office, by giving him the perfect opportunity to seal his reelection?
He: Well, it worked didn't it.

I just don't know. He's my mate and I like him, but he's gone down too many rabbit holes.

I get that. Which is why I’m shocked that she identifies as an historically enslaved class of people, when she’s the product of prosperous parents from entirely different lived existences.

Not denying her right to do so. If that’s how she identifies, all power to her.

Just feels like many would get crucified for doing what she has.

The world is weird.
She has some privilege due to her upbringing, no doubt, but she's still subject to the by-products of hundreds of years of hate, distrust and oppression simply because of the colour of her skin. It's a completely different situation in American than anywhere else.

A cheesehead. Absolutely no one in AUS will have any clue as to why you have a wedge of cheese on your head.
feck off Packers for that helmet to helmet last night but also please beat the Seahawks in the playoffs again

After Biden is declared president- elect, world leaders would stream in gleefully to congratulate him. I'm sure many are eager to stick the knife in on Trump

Proof that Michigan>Wisconsin. Green Bay just has a slightly more successful NFL team.
Rural WI is basically Alabama with more snow. I've lived in both states now and in the spring/summer the only difference once you leave Madison/Milwaukee is that there are WAAAAAY more white people and the accents.

Feel like I could recite these adverts in the CNN breaks verbatim at this point.

I think these things are usually handled in private phone calls, that then get reported by the respective countries' govts to their national media. And no one pays much attention anyway. But I also sense the announcements that these called happened might be a touch more attention-seeking this time.

I'm just picturing the cute moment between Biden and Obama in a few months.

"Hello, Mister President!"

"Well hello to you too. Miiiisssssttteeerrr President!!"

*Both laugh*

"Fraud. Get out of my house."

"Did you hear that noise, Mr President?"

*Trump falls through the ceiling*

Boris will likely come back full circle insisting he never liked the racist Wotsit and is glad to see the back of him...after singing his praises endlessly the last couple of years.....and before that berating him while he was London's mayor.

Yeah I have an old friend on Facebook that I haven't seen in a few years apparently get really into QAnon and #walkaway. A few other friends tried to talk sense but he is so far gone down that propaganda sadly it's not even worth it. Sad to see people get lost to that utter garbage

Watching it on their website, it's just blessed silence during the breaks.
Same. I'm on about the Julia Chatterly thing or that guy that tells you billionaires have doubled in the past few years.

I have other friends (no really I swear I do), but I like this dude and he's part of our 4 man tennis group. Me and another of the group sort of enjoy goading him about right wing things and conspiracies to laugh at him too.

CNN basically saying Republicans will have to walk in and pull him out of the chair so things stay civil.
Any Republican that walks in there to try and get him out is pulling a political kamikaze. I would like to know those that are brave enough.

Nah, that's bollocks. They were going round every state left other than Alaska and 'giving it' to him on the board to show that any of them (including in this case, Nevada) gives him 270+. Same 'possible routes to victory' every channel has been doing on their touchscreen maps.
