In much the same way that I suspect a large number of people who voted to leave the EU expect brown people will suddenly vanish when the whole brexit debacle is over.
Trump v Biden.

Trump is not a PM he is President therefore head of state. In Australia the Queen is head of state.

Yes but in reality, it's UK government. Even if she had an opinion, she'd have to run it past the government before anything could be done.

The U.K. Government are not the head of state in Australia.

Finally finally finally, someone at the networks has had the bottle to pull the plug on this pathological lying sack of ****! It is only a matter of time, when he looses the title of 'Mr President' there will be a queue of indictments. The folks at the justice department must be rubbing their hands with glee…… just hope they have hidden those nuke codes.
ps. Bernie was my choice, but never stood a chance!

What’s shocking to me that after 4 years of the orange would-be despot running the presidency via Twitter, there’s still a large part of the US population willing to give him their vote. Simply staggering. Anyone with a half functioning brain capable of just a little critical thinking can see Trump for what he is.
But no surprise really when you live in a Murdoch-racy like the USA, with the Fox News TV Channel propaganda machine pumping out lies and half-truths on a daily basis.
Biden is no radical but he’s the only sane choice not just for America but for the rest of the world

I’m somewhat shocked that Biden has now taken a narrow lead in Georgia (the fact that the state is even considered a swing state is kind of surprising likewise with Arizona). Through on how narrow Trumps lead is in Pennsylvania leaves me cautiously optimistic that Biden may win.
My fingers are crossed.
It was hard, this time around during the primary election, for my wife and me not to ask the question, "Who has the best chance of beating 45* (technically, we call him "Mr. Bananas" in our house)?
We both liked Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, leaned a little toward Elizabeth Warren.

What does 45* mean?
As a sardonic colleague of mine was want to say: "it's not the despair that gets you: it's the hope."
It's usually used by people who want to refer to Trump, the 45th president, without invoking his name. In @DavidDetroit 's case it's because he wants Trump to serve for 10 terms - about 45 years. The star after it is like a little 'kiss' to show his endearment and undying love. Xxx
Concerning the increasingly intemperate statements and claims from the incumbent, I sense a future legal defence being built.
In my experience senior politicians (no matter what their stripe) tend not to say things without a reason; so call me Mr Suspicious but my suspicion now is that the Orange One senses defeat is on the cards and is entering damage limitation mode concerning his future defences against prosecution. Watch out for more consciously orchestrated 'evidence' of his mentally disturbed state...

Among our many problems here in the US, there are a few things that stand out election-wise.
1. Electoral College. Basically, you can lose the popular vote and still be elected President.
2. Gerrymandering, where voting district maps are drawn to favor a particular party. It is an embarrassingly obvious form of cheating meant to thwart the will of the people to retain political power.
3. Voter suppression. The lengths to which the GOP will go, and has gone to keep liberals from voting, especially minorities, is criminal.

Also the asterisk is to indicate "Impeached" and that it's forever.

- Biden has taken the lead in Pennsylvania with 95% of votes counted, the BBC's results system shows
- If he wins Pennsylvania, he wins the presidency
- Biden has also taken the lead in Georgia with 99% of votes counted

Though part of me wonders how long it will be for a final result (what with all the demands for recounts etc.) as can’t see Trump conceding,
