US Election Week Results 2020

[Tisch]

I know the Guardian are reporting it but that's crap, SURELY?

 

[Ellie]

OMG. How is it actually possible that our government is this inept?

???

I can’t see anything at all from looking at the original tweet. Honestly this sounds like complete bollocks.

 

[VoR]

But it seems from the article that the government have actually admitted it

A Government spokesperson said: “As you’d expect, two statements were prepared in advance for the outcome of this closely contested election. A technical error meant that parts of the alternative message were embedded in the background of the graphic.”

 

[GNL]

Whichever Tory MP's spawn does their socials is getting a SMACKED BOTTOM.

That's bizarre. Why would you prepare two graphics and then embed them together for no reason?

 

[Ellie]

Oh I see it now on these images. The Guardian one just had poor resolution:

 

[K.C.]

So far THIS conspiracy theory has more merit than Trump's voter fraud rubbish

 

[K.C.]

Dp

 

[Kate]

No conspiracy here, just INCOMPETENCE.

I can't understand how/why this has happened though - they'd have had to leave one layer in photoshop at about 98% or something. It doesn't make sense.

 

[Phoenix]

What a tizzy over some bad photoshop. When I read the headline I was expecting something sinister.

Do you think these people use layers? They just do it all on background.

try it yourself!
I downloaded the original tweet myself and messed about with contrast and got the same thing

 

[Iguana]

I love that people seem to believe that Boris is personally faffing around on Photoshop As if he could be ARSED

 

[Ellie]

He was quite a few hours behind other world leaders in the response though. Also the content of that image could have just fitted into an actual text tweet.

 

[K.C.]

Wait, so when is Johnson's term over?

I take it he's surrounded by non-Conservatives now?

 

[Kate]

Have we seen the emails that registered Republicans are getting? PERSUASIVE!

 

[funky]

I was worried this thread would die before hitting 100 pages

You can always rely on a bit of TORY INCOMPETENCE for a nice thread bump

 

[Lucille]

THE THIRST!

These are so very similar to the begging email Britain First send out asking for money.

I don’t like the Trump campaign’s SELECTIVE USE of caps. That is OUR thing.

 

[Kate]

Maybe Lisa likes being on her knees.

 

[Eddie]

Is it possible to see if the Trump message still had the reference to climate change? I doubt it...

 

[VoR]

There's always a Tweet... (or in this case, a compilation)

 

[Frozen]

Type loser.com and a surprise awaits!

 

[Kate]

 

[K.C.]

One of my students said that Trump should from now on be referred to as "-45" A PLUS

 

[octophone]

Mike Pompeo has said "there will be a smooth transition to our second Trump administration".

 

[cwej]

I love that people seem to believe that Boris is personally faffing around on Photoshop As if he could be ARSED

Or have a CLUE what to do on it.

 

[Frozen]

 

[dUb]

Oh WOW

 

[Phoenix]

Maybe he’s a Rachel Dolezal

 

[Lucille]

 

[Jark]

the NERVE to not just own what you did and try to play UNCLEAR CONTEXT

 

[Frozen]

It gets better

 

[Kate]

 

[octophone]

Oh, it's getting even better than THAT...

 

[SDF]

Guys, I BELIEVE HIM
