Imagine Varadkar, Martin or Mary Lou doing stuff like that? Full mind control music videos. What the fúck is America?

Trump promotes his presidential campaigns in much the same way Vince McMahon promotes the next Wrestlemania.

I enjoyed the fact that Biden was able to call upon Obama for support, whereas Trump had Nigel Farage at one of his rallies. I thought that was pretty telling. Idiots attract, I guess.

In the context of Brexit a Trump win would not be good for Ireland in terms of dealing with the neighbors. Brexiters want Trump for a trade deal.

Any Irish person supporting Trump is, by proxy, supporting Brexit tories who are at best ignorant about this country and at worst actively malicious in pursuing their aims.

I guess owning the libs is more important though.

Trump has not been able to garner any support from.anyone noteworthy within the Republican Party, that alone should tell everyone how even his own people feel about him.

Not really a surprise given how long they have been friends.

Is it the 3rd of November the votes are counted, or are Americans voting on the 3rd? I know many people have already voted but I don't understand the system

Both, but they won't be finished counting on the 3rd

It is also not unknown for uv light to be used in medicine

This is from 2015

This is the full press conference

I find it strange how people can post stuff like this, as if this was what Trump might have been referring to. Anyone watching Trumps original comments at the press conference knows that Trump was just throwing stuff out there off the top of his head. Yea it was stupid, like a lot of what he says, but I don’t think we can realistically say he was actually meaning to ‘drink disinfectant’ or shove a UV light bulb up your ass.

Trump is known as someone who just wings it, does little to no research, won’t listen to experts and basically just thinks he knows everything.

Even his daily briefing is narrowed down like a child’s book, to try keep his attention. The funny thing is, if he had made even a modest attempt to embed himself into the role, stop acting on his gut instincts and actually surround himself with people who are qualified for their roles and give him proper advise, I think he would have walked this election.

As it is, I think he loses by a modest amount.

People boarding up their businesses in advance of anticipated civil unrest regardless of who wins the election, which at this stage (given how likely a Biden victory is looking) could be Trump supporters upset Trump loses the election, or Biden supporters upset if Trump tries to contest the results to the Supreme Court if it looks like he's lost the election.

I've decided to try use up some annual leave this week & just realized it would coincide with the election night.

What time does the result generally get called over here? I woke up to Trump in 2016, but would be interested in seeing the results unfold, even if it means staying up late since I'm off work. Also any non-partisan sources to watch it on?

Oh Americans love the drama.

EasycomeEasygo's post is entirely invalidated by Trump telling everyone he was being sarcastic afterwards.

The more interesting thing could be to watch Trump tweets during the night, where he has to find the right balance of getting states to call early if they favour him slightly, not call early if they don't, and manage around which states have mail-in ballots, and when they start getting counted.

I do expect him to walk up and announce victory, regardless of what happens or what state the polls are in, at least once.

I think he absolutely will hold a press conference claiming victory if the early counts are in his favour.

The question is - How many of the networks will broadcast it?

And will Twitter/Facebook censor him if he posts "I'm the winner" when the result is still undecided?

I doubt we'll see the level of disruption like America had with the Black Lives Matter Protests.

The media hyping up a threat of violence.

Isn't most of the Trump supporters in the more sparsely populated areas.? Where exactly are they expecting violence? Is this just a joke?

Texas , Florida and also quite well supported in Cali ( https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-10-31/beverly-hills-pro-trump-protest) . Have a friend in MI said theres a lot of tension there atm and says things could easily simmer over if Trump claims election was rigged

With the Australian government issuing an official warning to aussies about the prospects of violence, I think it would be wise to consider they may have intelligence not publicly available and to not be too dismissive

Many would regard this as another American drama.

Monmouth University Poll gives Biden a 7 point lead in Pennsylvania, this is down from early October when he had an 11 point lead. Margin of error +- 4.4

Not looking good for Trump.

I was born in the states so I get a vote. I voted for Biden. I lived in the US for the last election and for most of Trump's first term. I lived in a right wing state but even so the mood of the place changed not too long into Trump's Presidency.

People who were on the right but at least publicly spoke of being a centrist went all in on far right ideology. From just being pretty selfish and only caring about policies that affect them with little empathy for others to actively railing against anyone who does not line up with Trump and his views.

Having lived there for close to 10 years and been there through multiple elections to come back here just before our election here. The tone of the debates and the healthy skepticism of all politicians was a welcome change.

Living in a right wing state in the US has put me further left than when I lived in Ireland before...having said that up until the 2016 election, I was registered independent. I had to switch to Democrat to vote in the primaries (stupid system). If the state of the parties was healthier there, I would still be independent. If someone like John Kasich went up against Hillary, I may have even voted for him but last time around, I voted purely against Trump and that's what I did again. I'm not a Biden fan but anyone but Trump!

A second American civil war would get great TV ratings. That's not even being facetious. The people working at 24 hour news stations would be horrified at the carnage, but loving their numbers.

That's the American Civil War 2: Brought to you by Gatorade. Quench some thirst.

Now, I'm not saying that it'll get to that point. It just sounds too alarmist, too sensational. A decided escalation between Pro-Trump and Anti-Trump groups, especially if it's close? Absolutely. Defining it as any kind of war would probably be a stretch, though.

The Christian right of the U.S.A. absolutely do not want separation of church and state.
