US Presidential Election 2024

[sionascaig]

Can't remember the state in question (it was largely republican) but they had an election official on the news saying bulletproof glass was being installed at various election locations within the state that were likely to see high democrat counts...

Winners of the Musk millions are being advised not to spend the money until the court case is over.

Trump claims he will place a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico until they police the border and stop people crossing into USA! Apparently the ‘markets’ seem to like it

How does that work legally, I imagine any good lawyer will get them off as you could argue it’s a competition type thing whereby you just need to register to vote. Plus what happens if they already spent it ?

Kamala 6/4

Very fishy to see Trump come back in suddenly when everything's pointing the other way.

I see Trump is already lining up excuses by ramping up election fraud claims, I'm right leaning voting wise but Trump is absolutely deluded. Be interesting if he gets beat because he'll just cause carnage again, the mans a sore looser that's for sure but anything is possible over there.

You wouldn't trust anyone who's been bankrupt 6 times with any economy let alone America's. I've been to America 3 times the people are absoltuley fantastic in general especially when they find out your English, but absolutely mental when you see them on the news. It really is a crazy place.

They'll have their possessions repossessed and be in debt for the rest of their lives. And it would serve them right for signing the petition.

A reminder to anyone having a dabble, BetDaq are running a 0% commission promo on all Politics bets. Small print does say "not available to API, RDT, or trading software customers". Whether this means if you ever use Bet Angel or just for those specific bets I'm not sure.

Just laid a few bob against Biden being impeached at odds as low as 180. In the rules he needs to be impeached "before 05/11/24" or market will be settled as no.

Given there's only 6 hours left it seems a bit of a slam dunk.

If I were them then disappear. The USA is a vast country, very easy to go off grid. I had a mate back in 1998 who went for 2 weeks and never came back. He posted on Facebook back in July living in a remote part of Florida.

Trump now 1.8. I'm a bit astonished but hopeful that the US has finally seen through his narcissistic idiocy.

He cant/wont win. I said 2 weeks ago the odds were totally wrong.

I would be more concerned on who wins the Senate, as they control the real power.

Quoted for posterity.

[Archery1969]

Harris will win the election. I said it 2 weeks ago. It’s a fact. Remember what I said.

But, if she and the democrats don’t win the senate then the USA will be polarised.

[Emmson]

If large numbers of people are too ashamed/embarrassed to tell pollsters they are voting Trump I suppose that could make a nonsense of the polls.

1st precinct in - big swing for Trump

Dixville Notch - 6 residents.
