Just to be clear, following comments made in Feedback, not only is it completely inappropriate to question Biden's mental status or refer to him as the likes of "Sleepy Joe", similar comments about Trump are not allowed

And just to keep the discussions in one place, under one set of rules, I'm going to be closing at least one other thread and re-directing posters here

Early days but closer than I thought in Kentucky

i know im in the thread contributing with this post but i don't understand why so many people take such interest in this .

I have friends in WhatsApp groups quoting swing states and electoral college this and popular vote that and they know **** all about irish politics or take an interest in anything going on in their own neighbourhood.

They pretend its because it will affect their day to day lives but i feel its just been sexed up for them via the west wing and house of cards. It also makes them feel intellectual to take an interest in it.

I find it all rather perverse. People talking about staying up all night to watch it etc.

Our own Tanaiste was in the "dock" today and there was a young lad attacked with an axe in the head in Dublin in broad daylight. There are more people talking about an election in a different country than those topics.

Cool beans

Start some other threads.

Then post in them.

Let us have our fun.

Yea it's sexier and more globally consequential. Plus now there is the US-Ireland-UK hegemony in the internet age.

Just to note: NY Times digital subscription in Ireland is €3 a month. If you're interested in that kind of thing.

Quantum Erasure

MAGA.....

Kermit.de.frog

Trump underperforming so far in Florida in first couple of counties. Pasco a big indicator.

Black Hawk Down

Trump leading 8 to 3 so far.

And those hairy chicken legs of Biden, are about to become fried chicken too!

NYT Calls Kentucky for Trump, 13% reporting

NYT calls Vermont for Biden, no votes reported (?)

No, but he has to win *every other* battleground state.

If he loses Texas it's mathematically improbable to win.

Trump seems a bit low in Florida right now or it just me?

Looking very positive so far.

Biden now leading in Florida. Very early days.

He can’t get in again...surely?! C’mon Biden! I know we’re in Ireland but have a vested interest due to having American friends and they’re both very nervous about this election
