    It's pretty obvious that Trump isn't going to win the legal challenges. Biden's lead is growing in PA and has a lead in enough states that even if one is overturned on an FL 2000 type situation won't change things. I think Trump's legal team knows this but this is all to try to sow confusion and distrust to give state legislatures a justification for appointing their own electors that go against their state's popular vote.

    I will say that is a real longshot but I don't think there is any route for Trump to retain power than that.

    God, yes. This idiot tmacfor35 is so arrogant he doesn't realize he's blindly spewing buzz words from his party like a hypocrite.

    Mind control y'all.

    Trump supporters are also substantially bad at math.

    Warped sense of reality.

    ...you haven't been recruited by ANTIFA yet because you're probably too young.

    ...you have to be a geriatric in order to confront the police and throw yourself to the ground in front of them and give yourself a concussion...
    ...most convincing way I've seen to subvert government in years...;)

    People can b**** and moan for valid reasons. If you b****ed and moaned about Adolf Hitler rather than JFK, there's a difference there right?

    Trump supporters crying about voter suppression is hilarious, seeing they're the Daryl Morey of voter suppression. They've been doing it in the South for decades. Just this election they were doing voter suppression tactics like trying to sabotage the USPS, and Governor Abbot trying to suppress Harris County.

    A part of me wishes the Democrats really did cheat. Aint no fun when the rabbit got the gun?

    Apart from joking, the president was massively exaggerating.

    Antifa is growing but extreme right groups are growing faster, boasting more members.

    This seems where they are going which would cause an earthquake globally at this point essentially overturning what now is becoming increasingly a blowout at the presidential level.

    The GOP openly is trying to overturn Democracy, and if the electors in PA, MI, and WI decide to go along with basically the entire party minus Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski, they have the ability to still install Trump as our dictator. Scary stuff but we’ll see what happens.

    The GA, NV, and AZ wins are huge for Democracy because it gives other state electors in case one state decides to overthrow Democracy. I have no faith in the Supreme Court to stand in the way if the states decide to defy the will of their citizens either.

    Next step would be whatever mechanisms Nancy Pelosi has to avoid taking the vote in the House and pushing out till Feb when Trump is no longer president and Mike Pence is.

    Yes, but you have to find a betting house or bookie to take the bet. Also the payoff would likely be very low if you put your money on Biden.

    The money was made the night of the election when Trump won Florida and then had a huge lead in WI, MI and PA. The gamblers that were foreign and Trump supporters dropped huge amounts of money on Trump and if you put money on Biden at that point, you made a killing.

    I prefer going through the outfit because they pay quick and there are no qualifiers. For example, I have already been paid. They decided Biden won the election and paid accordingly. That is likely not the case with betting halls.

    The GOP is divided enough in PA that is difficult for the Trump camp to succeed there.

    Yeah you’d have to go state by state and really dig into the nuances of each set of electors. I still think this is difficult and boy would it send shockwaves around the world. You’d have every country in the world sans Russia and North Korea chastising us.

    Five syllables is way too many for a Trumpian insult. Three is the sweet spot. You should've learned that over the last four years.

    That's not entirely true the whole matter is still up for debate.

    Taken as a whole, the recount studies show Bush would have most likely won the Florida statewide hand recount of all undervotes. Undervotes are ballots that did not register a vote in the presidential race upload_2020-11-9_9-17-28.gif

    This goes against the belief that the U.S. Supreme Court handed the presidency to Bush, or took it away from Gore.
    The studies also show that Gore likely would have won a statewide recount of all undervotes and overvotes, which are ballots that included multiple votes for president and were thus not counted at all. However, his legal team never pursued this action.
    The studies also support the belief that more voters went to the polls in Florida on Election Day intending to vote for Gore than for Bush.

    ___________________________________________

    Lets not perpetrate false theories like Republicans are now doing, the SC did not steal the 2000 election.

    Using this logic should the Republicans puss out and concede to Biden?
