    Talk about cronyism.

    How? They're not state-owned, they're privately owned. Unless the USA imposes sanctions on Ireland, US companies can set up in Ireland as they please.

    a tariff on funds renumerated or share capitol dividends for divisions or companies beneficially owned by US corporations would cease the EU tax avoiding reason many are stationed in Ireland.

    Pull them as in entice them back with tax breaks. I thought he was proposing to raise corporation taxes?

    Is it possible Nevada could go to Trump? Seems like nothing in it..

    If so, it could actually end up with Trump taking all remaining states and winning right?

    Extremely unlikely. Trump is polling 48% and would need to jump to 53%. Also, the remaining votes are most certainly majority Dem votes.

    he may reform tax laws which leave them no reason to be here, but theres nothing on the table.

    A major reason for them to be in Ireland is to provide goods and services to the Single Market of close to 500 million people.

    If they leave Ireland, they leave the EU and the Single Market, and will thus face tariff and regulatory barriers which would make it more difficult, in some cases impossible, to sell goods and services to a market of nearly 500 million of some of the wealthiest people on the planet.

    Associated Press called Michigan for Biden a few minutes ago, giving him 264 Electoral College votes by AP's reckoning.

    https://mobile.twitter.com/AP_Politics/status/1324124136055230464

    If AP is right, he just needs to win Nevada to get the next 6 Electoral College votes required to bring him enough EC votes to win the presidency.

    Nevada was going to pause vote counting, but has decided to continue its count for now.
    Georgia is tight, if he wins that he'll get 16. Trump is ahead but there's 57,000 in it. The urban areas in Atlanta are saving Biden.

    Is it still a fraud if Trump wins, and how would Mitch McConnell feel about an election that made him senate majority leader being a fraud?

    On another note, after four years of Trump's overt racism and every other ism, even if they do not win, it is shameful and scary that he has so much support - in many states half the people you pass on the street are likely to support a racist in the white house etc.

    John King must be knackered from being up at the big board for hours on end.

    It's close, but almost all of the NV votes left to be counted are in Clark County (Las Vegas) so it's unlikely.

    You're mistakenly assuming that McConnell has a moral compass.

    His stamina at that board is quite impressive.

    Not going to happen at this stage.

    through avoiding the taxation that would come from providing such directly from the US.

    Love the amount of warnings Twitter has put on Trumps account over the last few hours :D:D:D

    Pennsylvania is heading in Biden's direction. It's over if this happens, Trump can win Nevada and Arizona and he will still lose.

    It's weird, when you think of Las Vegas and what it's most famous for, you'd peg it as a Republican area all day long.
    I know it isn't and hasn't been but do you get where I'm coming from?

    This has been bandied about for years. It's not going to happen.
    If anyone was going to do it, it would have been Trump, and he's old news.

    He had a break for a while this morning, must have needed a nap! Some pro to watch in action though.

    I was curious earlier and Google suggests that he's got a salary of about 180k a year compared to the 5m of Blitzer and 12m of Cooper. Surely can't be right? Can't be that much of a disparity.

    Have Nevada stopped counting for the day?

    Qanon in the building, Trump may very well be successful in his power grab
    And bidan talking about unity ������

    If Trump doesn't get his way, it'll be cos Mitch McConnell knows he can order Bidan to get back into his gimp suit.

    As per new york times they seem to be back counting.

    Timing of results:State officials had previously said that results would not be updated until Thursday morning, but they have since indicated they may release more results today. Remaining votes include mail ballots received on Election Day, those that will arrive over the next week and provisional ballots.

    Companies that make goods and provide services in/from Ireland avoid tariffs on goods and regulatory barriers on goods and services, some of which could not be provided from outside the Single Market, as the British are about to learn soon.

    Changing US corporation tax rules wouldn't change those facts.
