It’s the masses that have been spoon fed the lie of trickle down economics.

Does an unemployed, black, single Mum from Baton Rouge, Louisiana really give a toss that the stock market is up 8 points?

No they probably don’t but share ownership is much more widespread in the US than the UK.

There is also much more awareness of how markets pact their wealth (401k’s etc.) that here. Oddly most people in the UK still have no idea what their workplace pensions actually are or what they are invested in.

So while your point is accurate a rising stock market does have a significantly bigger influence in the US in politics than it ever has in say the UK elections.

James Woods is another one who has inexplicably wedded himself to Trump. I first watched Woods in the 1970s mini series Holocaust where he played a victim of the Nazis, so a kind of bitter irony that he has become such a cheerleader for Trump.

Funnily enough they depict James Woods as a crackpot in Family Guy, Seth McFarlane has a wicked sense of humour and anyone is fair game on that show.

Off topic, butyou just reminded me of a Facebook post I had from a Sevco supporter telling me not to use McDonalds as "they admit in their accounts to funding the IRA".

The truth was that they funded their employees' Individual Revenue Accounts, or, as we would call them, pensions.

We have a guy in our work who has always been seen as a little odd (quite religious though not that this would explain the oddness:greengrin) however one of my colleagues who he barely knows said the guy was discussing the election and he was very exercised by it all on how Trump was being badly treated in the media and that it was hugely important that he were to win. Seems strange to be that bothered.

As Obama said a lot of trumps win in 2016 was a delayed reaction to his win in 2008 and 2012. There are a lot of not very nice folk in the USA and I’m afraid trump has just fuelled their prejudices. How the hell you ever get the USA back to something like an even keel seems an impossible task when Alex Jones still gets tens of millions following his total lunacy. Sad times that it’s like that as I so enjoy going there on hols especially New York.

New York City isn't the complete Liberal panacea we all imagine it to be.

Trump has his pals and some major donors amongst the Manhattan elite and then you have the classic blue collar, mostly white borough of Staten Island which is widely regarded as 'Trump Country' by their fellow New Yorkers.
The wider state of New York is much more Trumpest than you would imagine.

Obviously the more rural counties to the north, up to the border with Canada are majority Trump in support but more importantly its the huge urban expanse beyond Brooklyn and Queens that goes deep into the heart of Long Island that is majority Trump too.

This is communities such as Levittown, an area which was the forerunner to the classic American suburban neighbourhoods that appeared all over America post WW2.

These 'white flight' towns are the real battle ground and in New York state Trump is surprisingly popular.

[mjhibby]

I’m aware of the new nuances of New York. I merely stated that I didn’t meet one person who supported trump when I was there and I have friends who have been there who say the same. Maybe all the trump supporters are like the tories here who stay quiet and never tell the pollsters their true voting intentions. One of my favourite places in the world to visit and nothing like I was led to believe by some media outlets in the USA.

That's unfair, there's also the possibility that they're simply selfish, naive, misogynistic, uneducated, homophobic or simply willing to turn a blind eye to all the aforementioned to get a few extra cents on their pension.

The problem is how entrenched they all are. I had a look at a site called christianchat.com and they are shutting down anyone who voted Biden as being anti-Christian and anti-American. These are the people who follow the televangelists who ate telling them that God said Trump would win. They view anything supporting Biden as satanic. And they are a decent sized voting bloc with closed minds.

[Hibbyradge]

It's clear that Trump wanted the Governor to falsify the election results, but he probably didn't quite say enough to be charged with an offence which would stand up in court.

That he's corrupt is obvious and he shouldn't have been trying to put pressure on like that, but in all likelihood he had Guiliani by his side as he made the call and stayed just on the unprovable side of illegal.

The tape should take some steam out of the Republicans' futile efforts tomorrow to reject Biden's confirmation, but that's about it, imo.

Yup. Bonkers and terrifying. Trump has his supporters so scared of some bizarre socialist conspiracy he's walking them into a dictatorship (or trying his hardest to at least).

He needs to be prosecuted for any crimes committed after he's out of the White House. If he gets away with his rampant criminal behaviour then the next Trump that comes along is going to be smarter and more competent than him. Which is a very scary prospect for America.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sadly that’s incorrect. The three branches of government are executive (President, Democrat), legislative (Senate AND Representatives=Congress, currently split, potentially 50/50 with a Democrat casting vote if both Tuesday results go blue), and judicial (Supreme Court appointed judges, Republican).

The judicial branch will stay GOP controlled for decades because of the number and youth of the Trump nominees. The only way to overturn this veto on progressive legislation is for Biden to nominate a similar number of liberal judges. This could spark a war of new appointees every time a new president comes in and descend the system (either further) into farce. I’m not sure if Biden is that kind of politician.

The legislative branch is likely to be problematic for Biden too, even if both Tuesdays senate races go in his favour. In this scenario it’s a 50/50 split in the senate, but there’s enough ‘corporate Democrats’ who could vote against legislation that they see as going against their interests or the interests of the billionaires that fund their campaigns. This is where overturning the Paris climate control accord or rejigging Obamacare might come unstuck, even before the Supreme Court dinosaurs get involved in picking over the bones.

Think the "heavily-biased nasty Republican" judicial system just overthrew Trump's attempt to overturn the election result? Maybe not as "farcical" as you suggest ...:greengrin

The mindset of the Trump supporters is to deride everyone who stands up to him as a traitor or communist. And, just so you know, we live in a communist country as defined by one social media post I saw. Apparently, banning citizens from owning assault rifles is the mark of a commie pinko state.

there's also been some discussion about changing the legislation for tenure of supreme court judges, a suggestion was 18 years, which would immediate remove a number of the longer tenured judges, and put a couple more on short time remaining.

this was suggested as a means to stop a single president being able to load the Supreme Court towards their party for decades.

Agree. Much better option than packing the courts.

Just need the Dems to win the Georgia runoff and we could potentially have statehood for DC and Puerto Rico. That would change the game.

It's not advantageous for any party to have a monopoly on power. In a country where there are essentially two parties, it's better that the balance is maintained and leadership elected on principles...even if we don't agree with those principles.

Yeah hardly gives them a super majority does it!

But it does give Biden half a chance to get through some of his agenda.

Hard to imagine after the last few years but of the Senate can somehow recover some of its bi-partisanship they might actually be able to craft some legislation that they can agree on.

Seems daft even writing that but ultimately that is what the whole premise of their governing structure is based on...the long trend of polarisation, accelerated to the max under Trump, does them no favours in the end.

Either way seeing the Trumpist GOP taking another beating is pleasing and will hopefully lead to them turning away from his, and his acolytes, rhetoric.

It was based initially on latest BBC report at the time I posted, think in the US there was a mix of outlets calling Warnock and others holding off.

I think the major news outlets are trying to hold off to maintain viewership. Ossoff leads by .4% with 55k mail ins to come. I can see why they do it but all the maths election geeks, Dave Wasserman for example, called it a while ago.

Big danger is that a Trump could run independently from the Republican party and effectively kill off their chances.
The right would be split down the middle between the Republican and Trump candidates allowing the Dems to win without breaking sweat.
Trump would have been called out and ditched ages ago by the likes of Graham and McConnell but their party has been taken over by a gangster family and their cult like followers.

It's a racing certainty that he'll blame the senator for not "finding" 11080 votes.

He certainly doesn't give a flying one.

Trump riled up this crowd and knew exactly what the response would be. He is deliberately trying to sabotage a democratic election and cling onto power. A belated request for peace sounds pretty hollow.

The thing with Biden is that you could tear his political career apart, you can pick over his voting history, his views, his gaffes and whatever else. There are few, if any, member of the US political elite for whom that isn't the case.

But he understands the sanctity of the office he is about to take. He realises the responsibility that comes with it and he respects the fact it is about more than his ego. That's why he can deliver a speech like that whilst Trump has fired up a bunch of gun toting domestic terrorists and instigated the scenes we are now seeing.

I’m convinced the police were told to stand down in advance.

Curfew starts in 1 hour

Considering what was happening in the building It really is baffling the seemingly lack of law enforcement in the most militarized police force in the world

Its like hampden at full time May 2016 [emoji23]

Washington is a very democratic city, it was D.C. and federal cops protecting the building, the mayor has been vocally anti Trump too, so that would be surprising. Very weird stories about the National Guard refusing requests to intervene, were they verified?

Watching CNN crowd of police standing around like spare parts. Trumps broadcast was unbelievable. If this was a group of BLM the police presence and action would be a lot different. Sums up Trumps presidency to a tee.

Ilhan Omar drawing up new Act of Impeachment against Trump.

Said the police were going to be overwhelmed so put presidence on the safety of the politicians and deal with the rioters later

Big questions to be answered on why so few police were there initially

Trump should not be invited to Bidens inauguration. Hopefully he is arrested for sedition.
