    I don’t think there will be any real buyers at that price.

    Somebody must be buying if the shares have shot up. They were down massively when his tie was due to end, his stake was about £1 billion then, but as his odds of winning have increased so has the stock.

    Even if he unloads 25% of his holding, it’s still a billion-ish. Depressing

    Depends on the volume of sales? Is it actually being traded in large volumes? If not then it’s unlikely he could off load a $billion worth.

    Well todays the day, polls are officially open.

    The rational approach would be to say Harris will win fairly comfortably.

    Hopefully the American public send a big **** you to Trump and he spends the rest of his days dying slowly on a golf course.

    A bit like the idea of the Black Knights taking full control, we can but hope but until it happens I won't believe it.

    CNN digging up plenty of republican voters switching sides. Expected stuff but they are overdoing it a bit. I suppose Fox will be 50 times worse but I ain't flipping to that channel.

    A 3:1 “good guy:****” ratio would be more than acceptable here.

    I’m actually crazily anxious about this. I know it’s been said and said again but this feels like one of the most consequential events of our lifetimes.

    The most powerful country in the world and a historical ally is choosing between 2 drastically different paths.

    Someone I know and whose opinion I trust was downplaying the effect that he thought “just one man” could have in a nation with institutions as strong as America.

    Then I heard Trump’s detailed description of his dismantling of the “deep state”…

    So we have two possible outcomes:

    1) Trump wins and becomes a manic president determined to exact revenge on his 'enemies'

    2) Trump loses, then him and Musk convince loads of their nutjob followers the election was stolen, with the risk of an(other) insurrection and a near civil war situation in parts of the US.


    Neither options sound very appealing.

    (2) David Corn on X: "Happy Election Day. I was at one of Trump's final rallies, and die-hard Trump supporters told me that they will not accept a Harris win as legitimate and that if Trump is declared the loser we can expect violence. Here's my report from Pennsylvania: https://t.co/eWOGhncico" / X

    i hope the cops use force, a LOT of force if pumpkin heids fanboys/girls storm it this time around, and i'd be fair gutted if any stray bullet found it's way to Trump, although that bullet would have to travel quite a bit to find him cowering away somewhere after inciting it all

    Republicans seem confident on the basis of the early vote numbers. Not seeing that same degree of confidence from the Harris camp.

    I read about the trump tactics this week. They are expecting him to declare victory in the early hours no matter what. The democrats have a plan to counter it seemingly.

    FBI etc are on high alert.

    I’m hoping the republican early optimism is a strategy rather than actual numbers based.

    It’s very trump to come out and say they are extremely confident, in fact he wouldn’t say anything else.

    It won’t happen though. US law enforcement is too powerful.

    You're guessing wrong. I have no opinion whatsoever on how accurate the polling was. I wouldn't be surprised if a certain demographic in Scotland prefers Trump because of his orangeness. But the idea that Scotland as a whole is not relatively 'progressive' but repeatedly votes to be governed by 'progressive' parties and never votes to be governed by non-'progressive' parties is just bizarre.

    The state of democracy the most important issue for US voters, then the economy, then abortion, then immigration, then foreign policy a distant fifth

    Kamala voters more likely to care about 1 and 3, Trump voters 2 and 4.

    And 1 and 3 add up to 49% so that’s good.
