Biden confirmed as the official winner of Georgia. Start packing your bags Trump.

He's not going to miss out on saying he's the president responsible for the covid cure.

And no their not official law enforcement. Only in America. :o
A US general or top military commander made an interesting speech that was shown on one of the channels, can remember which. He basically said, the US army is in a unique position, unlike any other army. They don't swear a legion to any King, Queen, rogue dictator (possibly a reference to Trump :D ), or any other person in authority. Their sole responsibility is to protect four sheets of paper.

For a moment I thought he was talking about his last four sheets of bog roll when the shops have run out of it, but he was of course talking about the constitution. I think he implied the Senate would have a say with regards to war but it seems Trump no longer has command of the Army.

It also made me think how nice it would be if our brave armed forces who are willing to risk their lives in the name of the Queen could have a more neutral centre of command.

I was just about to green up on the Bolten match but an hour should be enough time to see it out. :)

1.06 is he going to concede? If he does its a bargain, if he doesn't it will hardly drift! Surely now is the back opportunity.

I looked at the market expecting Biden to have drifted to 1.2 given the way it seems to trade, but he's come into 1.06.

I can imagine me and Kayleigh getting together one day, but I can't imagine Trump conceding defeat!

For the first time im now backing Biden. I've had a good run on the lay side, i took lay positions all the way down to election night and traded election night, plus a few ticks the other day... my loss comes on the punt on a Trump landslide but overall this market has been brilliant and I cant wait for the next.

I've put some money on anyway, just incase the unexpected happens. If not I'm risking a tick.

He'll probably announce he's running again in 2024
