That constant posting of music clips is annoying.

Can someone tell me when exactly the voting starts? And when the big day (night) is?

FoxRox

Just hoping and hoping Trump does not win Tuesday.

@BondJasonBond006 Early voting has been going on for awhile. Election day is Tuesday, the 8th. Don't know your time zone, so it might bleed into the 9th for you.

Ok, thanks for the info. Strangely enough in our Sunday newspapers they talk a ton about the election but they wouldn't care to actually say when it takes place :P

So it's basically another two full days. Oh well.

Why? Don't you like music? You don't have to listen to any of them, if you don't like it just ignore it.

I'll have mercy on you: just one line from Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" is all I'm offering this time around -- "Let me forget about today until tomorrow..."

PS: The election is Tuesday. It'll all be over soon...

Yes I love music, and you have impeccable taste in it I must say.
But between all the clips it's difficult to make out the discussion. I read one of your posts and realised like 50 words in it's actually songs lyrics :))
But then I'm uneducated and not very intelligent so it must be that.
Just strange I wouldn't vote for Trump...hmmm...must be something wrong with the logic of Hillary's arguments that Trump voters are dumb.

BeatlesSansEarmuffs

I haven't said that Trump voters are stupid, just that they're wrong. If I ever allowed any confusion between my words & Dylan's I apologize to all concerned, not least to Mr. Dylan. Here's "Idiot Wind," dedicated entirely to Donnie hissownself & no one else.



"You hurt the ones I love best and cover up the truth with lies." All for you, Donnie.

I wonder where people get their sources sometimes. But I think the key is to have a variety of sources. The protester in Nevada at the Trump rally was never armed, it was only a sign (Republicans against Trump), the crowd pulled him down and beat him (sad to say this is common enough) and someone yelled "gun!". So that is all it was. Blown way out of proportion. There were reports from a variety of news sources almost immediately saying he was not armed. It doesn't help of course that Trump's son and someone else tweeted that it was an "assassination attempt" which is totally false.

But I am guessing you all have read what actually happened by now.

And with 2 days to go ... Trump has finally had his twitter taken out of his hands. It took his team an entire year to get this done. (personal tweeting, which has set off so many well deserved criticisms)

And thanks for the music, Brady. :)

When is the result announced?

4EverBonded

Nov. 8th late in the day (presumably). Or earlier - it is the electoral college points that matter, keep in mind; not the total actual number of votes by citizens. The electoral college can be sealed up at any time the candidate reaches the magic number (which I suddenly cannot remember what that is ...).

@4EverBonded, 270.

Which state has the largest number of votes? Which the least? I admit not knowing much about it.

1983:
The happiest year in my life. I was carefree and had my little brother.
We loved this song and I desperately wanted to be like Limahl.
If only I could get that feeling back.

Thanks for the music. I like music on here. :)

So now the FBI director says no change in decision re emails after all (this just hit twitter from numerous sources):

California has 55 and is dead blue. Texas has 38 and is the largest on the Republican side. Florida is the largest swing state and seems to have tipped in favour of Trump during the last week. Yet the dems are still ahead according to the polls.

I recommend checking out fivethirtyeight.com for more info.

@BondJasonBond006, the biggies are California (55), Texas (38), New York (29), Florida (29), Illinois (20) and Pennsylvania* (20), the numbers standing for the electors.

Who the hell is Gary Johnson and why doesn't he win this when Trumpary is so hated??

Because either voting Republican or Democrat has become so typical that nobody ever thinks to take the third way out.

NY Times (I do not always agree with them, by the way) - their list of turning points of the campaign. Just food for thought; we will all have our own opinion on this of course.

My hero, and yes I dressed up like him, a lot :P

Back then I couldn't decide whom to find hotter, Adam or his secretary in the clip....

...anybody know if Trump's or Clinton's secretary is hot?
