A demonstration is going on outside the Maricopa County Election Department in Phoenix Arizona. Protesters with long guns and semi-automatic weapons among the crowd. News crews are being kicked out of the building now. The irony is that if the Trump protestors were able to stop the count, Biden would win the state.

Trump needs the count ratified before he can call for a re-count, I suppose it doesn't matter how it ends for him as long as it is sooner rather than later.

PS; Associate posted some photos of the Trump protestors, no wonder the local traders have boarded up the shop fronts, serious nutters in that crowd, they look like they are about to go postal! Bad choice of words, too soon? :o

Probably not.
It only takes one who is so wound up to cause a fair degree of grief....and I suspect there will be a few in that basket.

Nuh... after all, where did the term, 'go postal' originate from? The Orange Rodent's supporters are already creating mayhem... good that they're being reported as 'Trump Supporters...'

This US election is a bit like a good test match.  One of my kids even asked me who was winning yesterday.  It was only the 2nd session on day 1 fer crying out loud...

Probably says something about Trade Week (yawn.....), but the US election is far more riveting.....


Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Mav - 11-05-2020

I was just thinking that too, Tonyo. I remember listening to one of the early trade weeks covered by SEN - 3 days of rumours but nothing happened.

I suspect most of us feel the US Electoral process is a bit of a dog's breakfast.

One of the most concerning things in terms of stability is the gap between the vote count ending and the inauguration of the incoming President.
A 'wounded' Donald Trump is President for the rest of this month, all of December and most of January.
Normally it's a time for a tidy-up and preparing briefings for the incoming administration.
This isn't a normal President.

For those of you who want to know how this US Election situation arose, have a listen to this podcast keeping in mind it was published weeks before the election result, and produce over many months prior to election day!

It's scary how predictable the US Electoral College system is, and it sort of highlights how it can be so easily manipulated by 3rd parties. I wish I had posted the link here before election day, but I suppose hindsight is everything, but keep in mind this podcast was a prediction of this particular outcome!

One of the show producers has left the organisation that made it many months ago, it shows you how far in advance this podcast made in model of behaviour. Of course, some will claim Trump and Biden are acting in knowledge of the game scenario used in the reported model, not in difference to it!

We should tip our lids to the Radiolab crew, this is what good reporting use to be like before Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Trump!
