When is it appropriate to start saying "Biden won. Get over it." It's also okay to say Biden's win was a landslide win for him over trump as it appears Biden will have 306 electoral college votes versus trump's 232 votes. During trump's term as president, he stated his win was a landslide win over Hillary Clinton. trump won with 306 electoral college votes versus Clinton's 232 votes. So if trump states it was a landslide win for him in 2016, so can Biden in 2020. Numbers are exactly the same. trump won't like that. Trump also referred to it as a “slaughter”. So add Joe’s additional 2.5 million more votes that Hillary’s +3 what is that called?

I was just thinking about presidential elections and how things have changed.
Way back in the way back, presidential campaigns didn't really start until February of election year. Candidates would throw their hats in the ring in February. We weren't inundated with radio and tv commercials for years before the next election.
Way back in the way back, people didn't put political signs in their yards. There were lots of people who wore campaign buttons, though. I think I remember reading somewhere that Abe Lincoln was the first to use them. I only remember back to Roosevelt and don't remember a Roosevelt/Truman button, just Roosevelt by himself.
Way back in the way back, it was perfectly acceptable to ask someone what church they went to, but absolutely Was. Not. Done. to ask who they'd vote for/voted for any more than you'd ask how much money they made.
Way back in the way back, there were radio spots for candidates, and in the early 50s tv spots as well for those who had tv sets and actually had some kind of reception. Nixon's Checkers speech (when he declared that his wife had a good old fashioned republican cloth coat) was on tv, but we only read about it in the paper.
It was 1956 before there was a televised presidential debate and it wasn't even between the candidates themselves!
Ah, yes, there were some things about the good old days that really were good.

Yeah, you can just tell how much he cares. His concern for the country just shines through, doesn't it? I'm almost blinded by it.

How long can he keep Biden out of pandemic planning? Not to mention all other transition communication.

Giuliani is trying to convince PA federal judge to throw out the votes and declare Trump the winner.
He’s sweating profusely and either his brain is leaking or his hair dye is running down the side of his face.
Poor man. Doesn’t he have family that can come collect him? He reminds me of my mom, when she had dementia, announcing to the kids and parents in the crowded kids clothing store that her vagina hurt.

The Trump Georgia lawyer trying to overturn the election submitted a report to the judge arguing voter fraud in Georgia due to vote totals in Michigan that exceeded the number of people living in Minnesota counties.
I shit you not.
Judge tossed it.
Trump needs to just sit down and shut up. It’s done.

President Trump took to Twitter on Saturday night to voice frustrations about Joe Biden making Cabinet choices, as Trump's legal team continued to push allegations of election and voter fraud. “Why is Joe Biden so quickly forming a Cabinet when my investigators have found hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes, enough to 'flip' at least four States, which in turn is more than enough to win the Election?” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Hopefully the Courts and/or Legislatures will have the COURAGE to do what has to be done to maintain the integrity of our Elections, and the United States of America itself,” Trump added. www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-questions-why-biden-forming-cabinet-as-his-legal-team-continues-voter-fraud-fight/ar-BB1bf9aQ?ocid=msedgntpAll you can say is "bless his heart"........

When he started his court push, I was supportive - recount, investigate allegations, double check, etc.
We have done all that. There is no proof. No evidence. Nothing that suggests there are more than some minor human errors, and nothing that has enough weight to flip any states. It is time to believe in democracy again.
He is a delusional fuck face.

He wants a third count in Georgia. I guess he’s hoping weasel Kemp can somehow sneak out with a couple hundred thousand Dem ballots so that Trump can be declared the winner, and all us Georgians who value democracy will sit passively, drink our sweet tea and murmur ‘how bout them dawgs.’ Truly a delusional fuck face.

The recount is a less arduous process than the audit already completed. If it changes, that is actually a concern.

very doubtful. there was less than 10% difference between the first and second. I am betting it is less than 1% between the 2nd an third.

Right. I meant that i would actually suspect foul play if it changed in this round. Because it shouldn't.

thestreetjournal.org/2020/11/rep-devin-nunes-claims-barack-obama-is-joe-bidens-overlord/Rep. Devin Nunes has claimed former President Barack Obama is President-elect Joe Biden‘s ‘overlord’ and called for a special counsel to take over the investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. Nunes also called on Attorney General Bill Barr to appoint a special counsel to take over U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation into potential malfeasance in the Russian collusion investigation. ‘Now we’re sitting waiting for Durham to complete this investigation. I think people are getting not only very frustrated but also, there’s a growing concern that Durham is not going to come out with anything and then Biden and Obama are going to be back in, and they’re going to shut this investigation off,’ Nunes said. because I’m not seeing the indictments that I should be seeing when you take into the account that I’ve made 14 criminal referrals involving dozens and dozens of people,’ he continued. You mean to tell me, after 4 years of "investigating the investigators" you have nothing? Go away Nunes and take Trump with you!

So does King Nunes think because he did his citizens arrest thing, people will automatically go to jail? That’s not how that works.

So does Trump have legs?
By that I mean, a year from now will there be people lining up to attend one of his rallies or to donate to his PAC, or will the GOP lose interest and focus on the next GOP rising star?
I think he’ll lose their attention soon, but maybe that’s wishful thinking.

I am still just absolutely stunned and amazed that so many people have stuck by him for four clown-crazy years such that he just got over 70 million votes. I just don't fathom any of it on one level.

So apparently Trump is embarrassed about how Giuliani looked at his bat shit my-face-is-melting press conference last week, and finally realizing this plan to overthrow the election is a dead end.
He’s apparently admitting Biden won and placing the blame for the whole recount thing on Giuliani.
Well we can’t expect him to admit responsibility for this shit show himself. At least he finally got to this point, however long it takes.
