she should be the one running the party at this point.

Edit: fuck. Misread. I agree with this ^^

[Erneuert]

Is it...is it over?

Over and out.

[Conan The Barbarian]

Apparently Biden has gained lead in PA.

[Swykk]

Looks like Joe was just Biden his time.

*logs off. deletes account. burns computer. boards plane. flies into the sun.*

You’re on fire, sir. In the last day, you put up a solid poop joke and are now giving us a pun. Good work. Smiles are hard to come by these days.

Love this headline -

Biden campaign on reports Trump won't concede: US can escort "trespassers out of the White House"

[Conan The Barbarian]

Biden right now

Twitter banning Steve Bannon for calling for a beheading of Fauci

what a sick fuck

[allegate]

I saw one article talking about how "twitter banned an account" and that made me realize that he probably does have several and they should sweep house on them.

[Swykk]

This isn’t going to be final for a little while. They are all waiting for the arrival of military ballots, and they all have to review provisional ballots, and they recount everything in an audit, so there’s not going to be a giant celebration, yet, in the interest of democracy and fairness.

Trump has zero intention of conceding, but a concession is not necessary.

Is this as likely as I believe it to be?

Trump isn't going to make a comeback in PA.

Call the damn race already.

uh. is this his 'get out of jail free' card to play?

I wonder what his lawyers think of...

oh, I see.

[thelastdisciple]

On a not so serious note, this was hilarious.

I love Reich, but I’m with a lot of people who think he’s totally wrong, here.

Yes, Trump will whine and whip up his base, forever.

But he will find no legal basis, and there’s no way he’s going to flip enough electors to do any damage.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

I love this one.

One the dawn of the third day, look to the east.

I'm just getting that feeling tonight that this thing won't officially be called for a while. which sucks, because it just gives more time for Trump to do some dangerous things with the words he uses (not that he wouldn't do it anyway)

[allegate]

"fresh order of fraud here, who called for the fraud?"

[Magnetic]

I give it a week for official results. I think we'll have solid numbers by Monday, and then recounts as needed.

[zero]

Is it...is it over?

It might not be over for quite some time. Waiting for the recounts (Wisconsin and Georgia so far) will surely test the patience of our nation. But recounts are so very important. And resolution to all legal challenges is important. ANY lingering ambiguity regarding this election result will be detrimental to the stability of society.

At this point it seems likely that Biden will prevail. I really hope everyone can be patient until this nightmare is resolved beyond any reasonable doubt.

Nooooooo we are getting CLOSE!

We are running out of ballots to count!

And a few of Trump’s lawsuits have ALREADY been tossed.

WE ARE GOING TO WIN AND HE IS GOING TO BE EVICTED!!!!!

Matt Gaetz was saying that the military votes in PA would flip the votes to Trump.

The military votes came in, and it looks like most of them were for BIDEN!!!

No more military votes left.

Even the majority of provisional and overseas votes in PA are for Biden.

Trump CANNOT win without ALL the remaining states, but ESPECIALLY not without PA.

Trump is TOAST.



Note: RECOUNTS DO NOT AFFECT WHETHER OR NOT A WINNER IS DECLARED.

Jill Stein ordered a recount in states after Trump declared victory.

Nothing came from it.

[versusreality]

ok good. I know recounts won't make a difference here. but what if, in situations where a winner is declared, where the numbers do shift and make a difference and that winner isn't the winner anymore? I'd imagine that'd be chaotic.

I am very much ready to hear an announcement before the weekend is over.

[allegro]

They will never be enough to make Trump the winner. Biden is ahead by WAY too much.

Any prior instances of mistakes in voter history, we are talking 500 votes.

That will not make a dent.

[allegro]

Biden is to speak at any minute, per CNN.

[DF118]

Resolutely sensible speech so far.

[Magnetic]

It's sad that this is the first speech of decency we've heard in so long.

[allegro]

Well, best news:

The Blue Wall is back.

Plus some!
