    Will Biden pull American companies out of Ireland?

    he may reform tax laws which leave them no reason to be here, but theres nothing on the table.

    How? They're not state-owned, they're privately owned. Unless the USA imposes sanctions on Ireland, US companies can set up in Ireland as they please.

    Is it possible Nevada could go to Trump? Seems like nothing in it..

    If so, it could actually end up with Trump taking all remaining states and winning right?

    Biden is an old school Atlantacist/Globalist, unlike Trump - he will probably look to rebuild relations with Europe. With the Repubs controlling the Senate, he can achieve a few wins in foreign policy but it's going to be difficult to do anything on things like tax and trade policies.

    a tariff on funds renumerated or share capitol dividends for divisions or companies beneficially owned by US corporations would cease the EU tax avoiding reason many are stationed in Ireland.

    Extremely unlikely. Trump is polling 48% and would need to jump to 53%. Also, the remaining votes are most certainly majority Dem votes.

    A major reason for them to be in Ireland is to provide goods and services to the Single Market of close to 500 million people.

    If they leave Ireland, they leave the EU and the Single Market, and will thus face tariff and regulatory barriers which would make it more difficult, in some cases impossible, to sell goods and services to a market of nearly 500 million of some of the wealthiest people on the planet.

    Associated Press called Michigan for Biden a few minutes ago, giving him 264 Electoral College votes by AP's reckoning.

    https://mobile.twitter.com/AP_Politics/status/1324124136055230464

    If AP is right, he just needs to win Nevada to get the next 6 Electoral College votes required to bring him enough EC votes to win the presidency.

    Nevada was going to pause vote counting, but has decided to continue its count for now.
    Georgia is tight, if he wins that he'll get 16. Trump is ahead but there's 57,000 in it. The urban areas in Atlanta are saving Biden.

    Is it still a fraud if Trump wins, and how would Mitch McConnell feel about an election that made him senate majority leader being a fraud?

    On another note, after four years of Trump's overt racism and every other ism, even if they do not win, it is shameful and scary that he has so much support - in many states half the people you pass on the street are likely to support a racist in the white house etc.

    The John King show is compelling. The man is a machine.

    John King must be knackered from being up at the big board for hours on end.

    It's close, but almost all of the NV votes left to be counted are in Clark County (Las Vegas) so it's unlikely.

    You're mistakenly assuming that McConnell has a moral compass.

    through avoiding the taxation that would come from providing such directly from the US.

    Pennsylvania is heading in Biden's direction. It's over if this happens, Trump can win Nevada and Arizona and he will still lose.

    It's weird, when you think of Las Vegas and what it's most famous for, you'd peg it as a Republican area all day long.
    I know it isn't and hasn't been but do you get where I'm coming from?

    This too shall pass.

    This has been bandied about for years. It's not going to happen.
    If anyone was going to do it, it would have been Trump, and he's old news.

    He had a break for a while this morning, must have needed a nap! Some pro to watch in action though.

    I was curious earlier and Google suggests that he's got a salary of about 180k a year compared to the 5m of Blitzer and 12m of Cooper. Surely can't be right? Can't be that much of a disparity.
