The Daily Mail is very upbeat this morning. It’s proclaiming what a bright and lucrative future we can all look forward to. They list four of the most exciting things upon which our future will hinge.

In 4th place is a Singist (that should create a lot of jobs for all those redundant car workers to fill)

3rd is an unproven vaccine.

2nd is a man who drew the latest iPhone home screen icons on a bit of paper.

1st place goes to a new fighter plane that only exists inside someone’s head and which will fight in a war that won’t happen. It’s even named after a WW2 aeroplane to make us proud and well up. Aahhh.

I‘m convinced and to all those who say nay, just look how well we are doing in our fight against Coronavirus.
ARM were owned by Japan and is being bought by nVidia in the USA. Very good for UK?

Ive left Apple and the latest phone and pads appear to be a significant change to the designs he championed.

Anyone can name a new aircraft after an old one. Means absolutely nothing.

(Mind, I can't see a new passenger aircraft being called Comet.)

There will be some happy bunnies this morning after the provisional prediction that Biden will win the presidency. China, Islamic State, Old Groaner, Iran, The IRA, Danidl, Russia, North Korea, Domestic Anarchist groups to name but a few.
In fact anyone who is not a rabid right winger... they are the only ones thick enough to imagine Trump wan't an evolutionary mistake :D

I am continually reminded of Asimov's Foundation trilogy.

The Mule. The unexpected mutant with mentalic powers who dominates - and cannot fit the psychohistory plan. But, in the end, the Mule had something we call humanity.

PS The Mule was sterile. We have Eric, Donald Jr, Ivanka, Tiffany and Barron.

So which of the following will not be pleased with the provisional result of the election?

China, Islamic State, Old Groaner, Iran, The IRA, Danidl, Russia, North Korea, Domestic Anarchist groups.

It says something when you look at that list doesn't it.

Apparently Trump's campaign is still spamming several times a day asking for more donations - most of which would appear to be intended to go to paying off campaign debts.

The mention donations from $250 to £2750.

Biden's isn't.

I wouldn't have voted for either of them but
Some of the people on here who are saying Trump should except defeat are
the same people who wouldn't except the Brexit vote.:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p
Four years later, the USA has the chance to elect someone else.

Indeed, two years later they have a whole set of mid-term elections.

Leaving the EU is an extremely long-term decision.

Are campaign losses tax deductible?

It would appear that contributions are not:

Contributions to Nonqualified Organizations


You can't deduct contributions to organizations that aren't qualified to receive tax-deductible contributions, including the following.

8.Political organizations and candidates


https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p526.pdf

But the ability of the political organisation to claim, who knows?

Biden gets his money from his billionaires that all expect something in return. Trump get's his money from ordinary people, who are also hoping for something in return. I can't see why you'd be on the side of the crooked billionaires.

The mention of Biden was to help complete the picture.

There is a big question over responsibility if Trump's campaign cannot pay its creditors.

What are computer glitches to do with observers getting barred from observing?
What have crowds shouting in counting centres "Stop the count ", and as your gleeful commentators stated getting louder by the minute,have to do with observing?. Ask yourself ,as I am, how long would it have been before they chanted themselves into a frenzy high and burned the building down?. ..that would have been direct action.
Courage under fire was what those civil servants exhibited..and that is what patriotism and civil SERVICE is all about.

I know you're a bit thick, so I'll explain. the guys shouting "stop the count" are the observers, who are supposed to be inside observing, but they're locked outside. Didn't you listen to the woman in the vid?
