    The New York Times has a forecast page set up. It shows their prediction, along with Congressional races, and even a tool to show the multiple paths to victory a candidate can take. Create your own Doomsday Scenario!

    their breakdown has a lot of Solid D.

    i'd really like some Solid D tomorrow.

    Bobkins, thank you so much for starting all of these threads. You really outdid yourself on this one. I'm feeling very stressed about a lot of things (election and otherwise) and it really helped to lighten my mood.

    You only want the D tomorrow? Not everyday? Or on multiple days of the week?

    Do you think anyone has dared to write a concession speech for Trump? Or is his plan to just walk out and say, 'Al, why haven't I leaped?!' before suddenly freezing, and looking confused?

    One guy at my shop who's super anti-Hillary actually said he wouldn't have minded if Bernie became president. Not that he would have voted for him but "at least he's not a criminal".

    Good job, dude. You're really showing those people who are concerned about the police murdering black people with impunity.

    None of those people are at a Trump rally.

    I was so into the highlander TV show you guys

    like I was into the highlander tv show without having seen the highlander movies

    God do I wish they would reboot that series.

    Like especially in modern times. Let's go over the kinds of surveillance state we live in. Think about it, dudes fucking having sword fights out in the middle of a city and chopping off heads? Yeah about 10 cameras caught that shit dumbasses, how we gonna keep keeping that secret?

    A fucking gathering? Holy shit so many cops, so fucking fast.

    You could most likely actually make a decent series out of it given a halfway competent set of writers.

    The reason they never went into that stuff in the show is that if you start doing so it's all the show can be about. So no police ever call to ask Duncan about local beheadings.

    Exactly the point, make it about that, make the kid he finds in his gallery some kind of techno whiz that initially helps him with his tons of footage of his first quickening in decades problem. Then dial up the police pressure through the first season or two until you find out that the main investigator is an immortal that hadn't yet had their first death. You can still run the same episodic pieces that merely depend upon an immortal main character they just happen to be bottle episodes that exist outside the being investigated by the police episodes.

    Use the surveillance like practical holy ground. Dissuade other immortals from attacking you by pointing out the watching eyes

    Edit: I may have put more thought into this over the years than is necessary.

    They could kinda do it like Supernatural where the cops are on to them for a while and eventually do catch up only to be put in the situation of "oh shit, all this crazy stuff is real" and then you never really worry about it again because "ok, nerds, we showed the cops catching them, are you happy now?"

    let's put it this way: i would strongly prefer tomorrow in particular to be full of D.

    I knew the conspiracy theories were right.

    Obama's going to let Hillary win, then indict her for all her obvious crimes, then institute martial law and becomes Muslim-in-Chief for life!

    He's probably a liar. If Bernie was the nominee GOP clowns would be saying they could have voted for Hillary at least she's not a socialist.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I know people who went straight from Ben Carson to Ted Cruz to Bernie Sanders, because they believe in nothing and have zero principles aside from "I don't want some uppity cunt in the whitehouse"

    Picked up some cider in advance of the election tomorrow so that I don't have to face it sober

    Though I may engage in some reckless Canadian escapism by attending a hockey game - I'm in Nashville for work and my home team is playing

    What time do results start showing up, typically? Right at poll closure?

    Trump clarifies "greatest bowel movement in the history of the United States, just tremendous."

    Upon hearing this, the crowd nodded in acknowledgement seeing the obviousness of how his campaign has always been about trying to push a giant rancid piece of shit through with all the horrid exertion our forever haunted vessel can muster.

    Man, I'm trying to work through those 100+ Eichenwald tweets, but that shit is just exhausting. Every single one of these should be enough to kill a campaign. A total lack of empathy, terrible business sense, decades of fraud, ties to crime families and antagonistic foreign governments.

    It's a tough read, but thankfully there are a few humorous zingers in there too.

    The nice part of having to go to Norman to vote tomorrow is that I am gonna be in, probably, the single most liberal voting district in the state so it shouldn't be too soul draining
