I never go into this part of the board, but in this case.... :banana:

Joe Biden will become the 46th president of the United States, CNN projects, after a victory in the state where he was born put him over the 270 electoral votes needed to win.

With Pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes, Biden now has a total of 273 electoral votes.

The judge in the lawsuit literally told the GOP they’re already in the center ... it was never about access by a request to move closer than 15’ from ballot processing.
The same way democrats whined for years about Bush stealing the election, Trump supporters will whine that this election was stolen, though in this case there seems to be much less cause for it. Like with Bush, it won't change the outcome one bit.

My larger concern is the precedents set and distrust sown in our institutions. This could be our first step toward dictatorship. It won't be Trump, but someone smarter and more capable with equally less scruples could follow Trump's example, feed the sheep what they want to hear, and seize power. People willing to believe the propaganda will just hand it to him or her.

Weird. And they’re bringing lawsuits because voter rolls include dead people? Huh? Surely people know the difference between voter fraud and outdated voter rolls, right?

The die hards will grasp on to that as if it means something.

That press conference at Four Seasons Landscaping is like something out of the Onion.

If you really want to see the gasoline being poured on the fire take a look at Hannity and Lewandowski. I understand being unhappy about the way things went, but this is crazy talk.

Maybe this is how it was in 2000 by the left? I don’t remember.

The upside to the change of power is the virus will now go way and my taxes won't go up as I make under 400 Grand. Career pols are just so boring.

Haha is that a reference to the conspiracy theory that the only reason the virus has been talked about so much is because the "left" was using it to keep Trump from getting reelected?

They need to look at the voter tabulation sheets. If those dead people voted, it IS proof of fraud, Fraud in a national race has to be pretty much negligible as any large size organized fraud would need to have electronic communications, and those are monitored for terrorism to the point that’s any decent sized fraud effort would have popped up and been stomped on quite publicly. If one is found and they do not publicize stomping on it, law enforcement and the press are missing a golden opportunity to show America we can trust the voting system. Does small time fraud happen? I’m sure of it. It just does not work for any race larger than local dog catcher.

Well sure. Investigate it.

I guess what I’m saying is if Trump sincerely believes that America’s very democracy is being destroyed by a fraudulent election ... he wouldn’t be golfing.

This is a horse and pony show. Part and parcel of Trumpism.

Even in defeat, the Trump campaign seeks to deceive...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics ... d=msedgntp

Earlier on Saturday, before Biden was projected to win the election, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien and deputy campaign manager Justin Clark looked to rally the troops Saturday on a private call with top surrogates around the country, urging them that "we are still in this fight."

Stepien, who took over as campaign manager back in July, tried to make it clear to the surrogates that the call wasn't a "fundraising solicitation," but went on to ask for donations, saying it was the first way they could help the president moving forward.

"This is not a fundraising solicitation, I want to be super clear, this is an update call to make sure you know exactly where we are in the campaign ... but if anyone wants to contribute to the Legal Defense Fund, you can go to DonaldTrump.com," Stepien said.

The campaign has been aggressively raising money to fund its ongoing legal efforts, blasting dozens of texts and emails to supporters each day. But according to the fine print on the donations page, 60% of the funds raised will go to paying down the campaign's debt.
