He better hope he wins the lawsuits, he may be up to his eyeballs in them come January.

True. Did you see the interaction between Trump and the Arizona senatorial candidate McSally recently at one of his spreader events? She lost to an astronaut btw

Glad to see Fox News finding some integrity. They've got to come out of this with some credibility. Be interesting what #ucker Carlson and Hannity will have to say about all this.

Should be more resources for counting, knowing in advance that all these mail in ballots would need to be processed. There are two envelopes to open and a signature to match on them before they can even be tallied.

Pennsylvania looks too far gone, I think. Since Georgia is now in play, this and Wisconsin can win it for Biden, without needing Michigan (for example, although there are several variables). Millions of Democrat votes are out there....easily enough for a comfortable win IMO. Whether they get counted, remains to be seen. It's fucking pathetic.

My healthcare is subsidized by 50% by my employer (my family are not covered...that's about $900 per month for them). It's affordable (for me) but if I get very ill, I would still have to pay out $3500 'deductible' before costs are subsidized 80% by the insurance company. That can then run into 10's if not 100's of thousands of dollars. It varies by employer. My colonoscopy a few years ago cost me, out of pocket, about $1000 and a recent stress test with ultrasound was $700. It's a very sick system and I don't see any change happening.

I don't see Florida, Iowa or Texas going Dem, but the rust belt states, I think will flip back. House retained and Senate taken. Oh, and lots of votes voided by the courts, so none of the above will actually happen.

This is looking the likely outcome. We won't know for weeks, during which time, I expect all mail in ballots will be 'scrutinized'.

Yes, it will make it virtually impossible if he loses Florida - he'll have to hold onto the rust belt states (namely Penns and Wisconsin), Arizona, take Nevada, and then some. (He's trailing in all of these places, and with a less likely chance to clinch them than when he did 4 years ago) However, with so many postal votes around the country to count and 'contest', we still won't know officially until days/most likely weeks afterwards.

Yes it's crap that the increase of smaller streaming app services have nabbed the rights to shows that were once available on the mainstream Hulu and Netflix platforms. (ie Disney taking anything Marvel/Star Wars - HBOMax getting South Park/Studio Ghibli...etc) You need to invest in all these apps to get what you were used to getting. (For your UK shows, have you looked into getting BBC iplayer through a VPN?) TBF, Peacock, which isn't perfect, is at least cheaper than the previous NBC Gold offering. For now.

The polls are similar in those key states as they were in the run up to the 2016 election, with respect to the number Biden is ahead of Trump by. The difference this time is that he polls closer to the 50% mark than Clinton did, which leaves a smaller pool of undecided voters for Trump to take from. Of undecided voters 4 years ago, Trump took a whopping 60% (with 20% going each to Clinton and third candidate) People are more cemented in their choices this time it appears.

That's what happened in 2016. I'm glad Biden attacked back, otherwise it was turning into another Trump rally with a lot of talking bollocks. Biden came across as the tired angry grandad trying to scold a petulant (fat, orange) schoolboy. He also addressed the camera directly quite a bit, which was good. Round One to him, but only just. "Stand by"

I'm a glutton for punishment. Are there any streams that won't have my antivirus scream at me?

I miss the days of those Directv Extra time channels. Perfect quality, no buffering, TiVo controls, and could watch whenever I wanted instead of when they decided to upload the replays on Gold. ( Directv and TiVo RIP too, but that's another story) Hopefully Peacock have a more polished streaming service than Gold, but I won't hold my breath (it could be worse) Concerned that Roku and Peacock are at loggerheads right now, they've got a few weeks to sort it out. Just read that non televised games (gold pass games) are only available live and replays available NEXT DAY. this means that if you live on the west coast, watch live at 7am, otherwise you're fucked. I remember reading something similar two years ago with the gold pass, but luckily it never materialized. Hope it doesn't this time either.

I can't see the allegation derailing Biden, it's not as if Trump can weigh in on the subject is it.

You're right. I'd never looked into it, as to why, but it makes sense - the last scenes in the final episode of season clearly weren't written as a finale. https://www.looper.com/153803/we-finally-understand-why-deadwood-was-canceled/

Recent polls are putting Biden ahead in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, (even, for the first time in ages) Florida, amongst others. All Trump states in 2016. Polls aren't always accurate obviously, but even with their margin of error, since Trump's brief bounce at the onset of the virus, his numbers have been getting progressively worse.

Watched Deadwood again, 15 years after it first aired and enjoyed as much as the first time. Ian McShane is brilliant in it. A bit let down by the feature length, tie the ends up, 'movie', only because the series was so good. Ozark season 3 done. Another cracking series, I just hope they don't string it out for eternity. One of the things that made Deadwood so nice was it stayed at 3 seasons.

It's a great advert, ramming home how out of his depth he's been in the last few weeks. The war against the virus (and the 'inevitable' victory) will be his main campaign platform. Of course he's sh!tting himself now. At yesterday's daily Covid presser, he talked about the war on cocaine smuggling and how he was winning that. Cheers Don!

For those that enjoyed binging Don't **** with Cats, try Netflix Tiger King next.

RIP Flybe

I like to think that a lot of his 'foot in mouth' statements are done on purpose (although he really is that dence)...for attention (and deflection of more important topics), especially something as buffoonish as this. Akin to Boris Johnson fluffing his hair up before an interview and acting like a plum as a smokescreen.

Ok good, I look forward to them then. Meant to watch The Irishman tonight on Netflix, but by the time dinner was done, left it too late. I'll try again later in the week.

Doing an Oscar movie marathon pass at the local cinema at the moment. So far, I've seen - Jojo Rabbit 8/10 - Charming and fun Parasite 8/10 - Clever and twisted 1917 - 8/10 - Riveting and beautifully filmed. Joker - 5/10 - One dimensional and miserable Marriage Story - 6/10 - Well acted and meh Once upon a time in Hollywood - 8/10 - Satisfying and nuts Still to see The Irishman, Ford vs Ferrari and Little Women, but I expect I've already seen the best ones.
