What will happen in AZ, PA and GA next?

They are not happy about Fox calling Arizona early either

Hard to overstate how angry Trump's advisers are at Fox right now. Just incandescent.

I really wished they hadn’t called Arizona 48 whole hours ago, I mean, why?

And a lot of networks appear to be counting those EC votes in the tally (264 v 214).

I've seen some speculation that Fox calling it early has helped to avoid as much unrest there.

Trump's lead in Georgia is now down to 9.5k!

@BlueCatRedCat

And again, Derxa, in the words of your heroine: I don't really care, do you?

Try saying something intelligent.

My heroine???? I object to women being called 'grifter'. But if that's acceptable on this thread then carry on.

@Blueberries0112

I just read that Trump will run again if he lost. But if he does, he may be able to run for two terms. That would be 12 years presidency. I will have to check on that

He’s 74 now, surely to goodness the GOP wouldn’t nominate a 78 year old!

I am aware that Biden is 77, and I think that is ridiculous too!

Why can't a woman be called a grifter?

@pinkbalconyrailing

dh just remarked that now he knows why counties are called counties.

LOL. That did actually make me laugh.

Me too!

I object to women being called 'grifter'. But if that's acceptable on this thread then carry on

What's wrong with the word "grifter"? Would it be acceptable if someone said "Melania knew all along what she was getting into and has cynically stood by a man she obviously hates for her own personal financial gain, while, by her actions, propping up his political decisions"?

Is it the word in particular, or the analysis you object to?

'JUST IN: Nevada's Secretary of State says there are approximately 190,150 ballots left to count, 90% of which are from heavily-Democratic Clark County.'

Perhaps the US are actually doing us a favour. I've almost forgotten today that we've started lockdown, and at this rate it might be over before this is. It's proving to be an excellent distraction.

Trump will just declare it fake news that he's 78 and run anyway.

Wouldn't be anymore of a blatant lie to other stuff he's denied.

Re GA: DH says that every update Trump has been losing 3000 votes of his lead over Biden.

The last update where it was 12,000 was less than an hour ago.

(Just a hint on possible timings and whether Trump can hold it).
Under an hour ago - In Georgia, Trump currently leads by a razor-thin margin of 12,768 votes, with 47,277 ballots left to count.
Just - About 39,000 votes remaining, Biden needs about 62% of those votes to erase Trump's 9,525 vote lead.

I don't know why Melania Trump is being called anything. Has she committed a criminal offence?

Trump campaign due to lie speak to media soon.

I cannot imagine Trumpy would pitch again for this in 4 years time. His cognitive ability has decreased even from when he became potus, and god knows what he'd be like in 2024.
I watched an interview with him 10 years ago and he was far more lucid then. But, to me, he has deteriorated a lot in the last four years.

"Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV" 😂

Just in. In Georgia Trump lead drops to 9k. 98% of vote counted....

I don't know why Melania Trump is being called anything. Has she committed a criminal offence?

The whole shower of them - Junior, Eric, Donald, Ivanka - are being called all manner of names.

You don’t have to have committed a ‘criminal offence’ to be up for criticism.

@MerchantOfVenom

Trump campaign due to lie speak to media soon.

When was the last time Trump was seen in public?

Biden been seen a number of times in the last 24 hours...

Which state are people predicting we'll be hearing from definitively from first? And roughly when? Or do we have no clue? I've got lost now!

It could become a thing.

Apparently Trump's team tried to get him to go and do some presidential work earlier, eg meeting people impacted by Coronavirus, so they'd have something to film, and show he was getting on with the serious business of running the country. He said no and has stayed in his room watching Fox, ordering his kids about, and tweeting. Like a toddler!

The whole lot of them are grifters. Jared and Ivanka made $90million last year, whilst supposedly working in the WH. Trump's business (which he supposedly divested himself of.... yeah right...) made $1.9bn whilst in office. His Washington hotel hosts foreign leaders and dignitaries. That goes against the emoluments clause which means the POTUS shouldn't profit from the office of president, he ignores it, and does.
Ivanka and her chinese trademarks granted after she visited China on official business.... coffins and voting machines being 2 of them.

Grifters grift. And they do.
It's all about a moral compass, dont think any of them have one.

I just spent far too many seconds wondering what a ‘boomtish’ is

Former acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said on Thursday that he "absolutely" expects Donald Trump to run for president again in 2024 if he fails to win reelection this year. I think @StirlingFloss beat me to it, but even more reason to make sure he now rots in jail
