I presume it was arranged on Friday. Quite a few people who attended will have official or private security details, and it started at 11:30am.

Does anyone know if Kanye has conceded yet?

Or how close he came, I assume it was in recount territory.

My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct

Why?

Negative ads are the norm. They'll be the usual "he's not really a black man", "he's a socialist", "he's not a real pastor" crap.

He's within recount range with 'spoiled ballot'. And probably behind a few write-ins.

I think Kanye conceded on Instagram. He's definitely already used #Kanye2024 though, so don't worry.

Now it's done I don't know what to do with myself. I suffer from cognitive surplus so need great global dramas to occupy myself.

Oh, and the rise of fascism and white supremacy, the collapse of the United Kingdom, the war with China and the mass immigration when food production fails.

Could this be real????????

In the last few days he's also said that he won't accept the result until all the votes are counted (as has Mexico's AMLO), and also that Trump isn't the most important person in the world. Bolsonaro says a lot of things.

I hope it's true, but I can't find confirmation.

Lol, perhaps Trump was right, 8-)

Maybes he should have conceded sooner.

So according to the Trump campaign Pfizer's new vaccine is either :-

1) the direct result of all the money Trump gave GSK.

2) a communist plot by the Marxists who run private multi-nationals to ensure socialist Biden becomes POTUS and wrecks the economy by raising taxes and nationalising all the private multi-nationals or something.

Just think 70 million people voted for that, FFS!
