    I'm sure there are other threads, but this is one I remember that cover this scenario.

    This wasn't a close election but has an initial appearance of one due to delayed counting of millions of votes (orchestrated by GOP). He is going to b**** and moan for a while but there is no leg for him to stand on.

    Still, he's doing exactly what many thought he would when it's a close election (or in this case, an appearance of one). No other president would do this. And yes, he is going to lose the court cases and get walked out on Jan 20th.

    But is there a chance that he can steal this? It's < 1%, but it's not zero (to put in perspective, when you get infected with covid, it's a very small chance you would die, but it's not zero). It's the attempt that is very bad for the country now and its future. Now, it wouldn't be such if the DoJ and GOP in power stepped up and tell him to go take a hike. As also expected, they aren't exactly doing that. Instead, Barr has started an investigation, the PA's GOP legislative body said they will not certify the result until they finish investigating bogus fraud claims, GOP governors such as the TX gov is pouring gas into distrust of the election result, at least 1 Senator and 1 cabinet member said it's fraud and Trump will win (I don't follow that closely so perhaps more), only 4 GOP senators have congratulated Biden for his win, the GSA top official has refused to start the transition (past GSA starts the transition soon after an apparent winner to release federal fund, secure office spaces for the president elect), and so on.

    Of course the red counties should call all the shots, that's just logic. https://t.co/sZzMKS3Hej

    Senior polling, like white women polling, was way off this year

    They have to say Biden when their caregivers are in the room so they don't get their plugs pulled. But they vote racist because they are from the 50's.

    ...oh God I hope so, George.

    ...I PROMISE to go to somebody's church...

    ...(for ONE service...with no cameras)...

    ...if they have to drag the Donald out of the White House wrapped in a straightjacket.

    ...but with this whole COVID business...and in thinking about the safety of our brave medical professionals being paramount...
    ...they're probably better off just sending in the Orkin man and letting him set off a big-ass bug-bomb and get those roaches out of there...;)

    It's really pathetic that we have to talk to him like a fukcing 6 year old, in order for him to act like a normal person.

    Even if you were a staunch supporter of his for the last 4 or 5 years (including in campaign), how does this not turn you off completely to the man?

    How are they still counting votes after Election Day is over? This is clearly fraud.

    My soon to be sister-in-law was a Trump supporter and voter half a decade ago.

    She said the stupidity coming out of his mouth throughout the campaign alone was what turned her off from re-electing him as President. I'm glad there were some that could see the light (or in this case darkness within) but there are many staunch Trumpeteers that will not back down and believe anything and everything as if he were sh***ing gold bricks out of his anus.

    Has anyone heard of Parler? Apparently there are many of his supporters congregating there to spew these lies for him... from what I've read in regards to it, this could become a very dangerous resource for the far right winged class. Extremely. Dangerous.

    Every suburban white woman over 40 is already on it. And Ted Cruz of course.
