The eve of the maddest show in the world

Two senior citizens battling it out to become the most powerful person in the world

The most decisive election in years, which no matter the outcome, the whole country is anticipating civil unrest.

Yes folks the loonies are well and truly out of the Asylum

Forget the polls, forget what you think will happen one thing for sure is it’s always unpredictable and I cannot wait 

Buckle up Dorothy

So was Nick Leeson

His dad bailed him out on one of his casinos

Was something like £5m in debt

So his dad's mate went and put a £5m bet on, for his dad, then left

 

Nick leeson wasn’t a businessman. A very clever man who was very foolish. Have you read his books?

No

He fucked around with other people's money, but didn't lose any of his own

So not very astute, or, didn't give a fuck

Trump did well for himself, but he had a massive headstart with all his dads money and business to back him up

Not sure about that.

BBC saying 160m have voted.

Only around 330m inhabitants, a proportion of whom wont be old enough or eligible.

maybe different level, but basically the same game plan

My mate is a contractor for US army in Afghanistan, reckons all troops and workers there a behind biden to a man.

Trump will have em all out of there by xmas. 

Surprised me that.

Trump upset a lot of soldiers with disparaging comments about them not getting themselves shot.

Bidens son was in the army, Trump has disparaged war veterans , these troops maybe have taken notice

Good point

Just read 65% approx

The highest in 100 years

We had 67% last year

Maybe two thirds is normal, but that's still a lot of people who can't be arsed

I won’t go into it but I spent a long time working in an environment dealing with people with a similar mindset. Some are just crap businessmen and some are Astute. I would have them both down as relatively astute but operating in vastly different environments and scale of businesses.  
 

Both will only be as good as their advisors though

Ken was seen as an astute hero on here by some.

Yes, think so.

Just hearing about some votes (postal) arriving after polling (in Pennsylvania) are to be separated off and not counted initially (a previous supreme Court ruling apparently).

Similar applications being considered elsewhere it seems to. Could make it interesting.

Yep

get it

As Tyldesley says - both astute / cunts, depending on how you looked at it. Size of it matters not

So logically if you thought Anderson was a cunt “for the way he operated”, ergo you’d think old Don was too

Someone on the TV as just made the comment , that he wants to stop the count where he's winning and wants a re-count on the one he's lost

McCain as well who was a POW and spoke about him after he died, his wife endorsed him, plus the bounties story against troops.

I think they’re both cunts. I happen to find the don funny with how he gets under people’s skin when he has zero impact on anything  to do with them. 
 

love it hate sweaty he used other peoples money to buy a club run it, fleece it and walk away with a 7 figure sum. It’s brutal what he did but thats Astute 

If Don was such an astute business man he wouldn't have a trail of bankrupt businesses. JSL

Na it’s being a prick for me. Rinsing people isn’t astute in my opinion

That depends upon your prospective. From Anderson's he'll have done ok. From ours he's a cunt.

From an independent perspective, Trump may be being astute, or possibly a criminal cunty cunt. Intrigued as to what might happen once he's out of office.

But as I pointed out he never lost a penny, all those that worked for him, supplied him etc last a fortune

The momentum has been with Biden since Milwaukee declared this morning (our time), the areas left to count are mainly Democrat, the votes left to count are mainly postal (Democrat) 

I’m expecting him to take all the states he’s currently leading in with potential to add another in the shape of Pennsylvanian or Georgia, that’s circa 300 electoral college 

Perhaps I've watched too much CNN
