And it's started...

'Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputies now ready in tactical gear inside the elections center to potentially make a move on the protesters and demonstrators outside as the crowd continues to grow. '

Anderson Cooper on CNN wins the Internet with this quote:

“We see him like an obese turtle on his back, flailing in the sun"

So if (when) Trump is out, what will Ivanka and her husband do with themselves? She’s practically the FLOTUS
Lawyer up?

@Radiatornoise

Mike Pence has tweeted “every legal vote should be counted” and left it at that.
He also said "I stand with Donald Trump". Capitalising LEGAL suggests he agrees there are non-legal votes.

I was totally expecting this, yet am still somehow left agog.
Yes. He was never going to accept defeat was he, we knew that. But I thought his tantrum would be more about ungrateful people and stupid people.

Not declaring fraund.

We are expecting Georgia to finish shortly... we are staying up...

(DH thinks just after 1am).

anewdispensation · 06/11/2020 00:35

@SabrinaThwaite what an awful life they must lead. I wonder if secretly they think he’s an arsehole or have they been brainwashed and don’t know any better?

CherryValanc · 06/11/2020 00:36

@anewdispensation

It is terrible. This is what you expect from fragile democracies in some African states (I’m from there and we are used to all sorts of antics). But this is the fucking USA. Wow!

I worry because African leaders who are not known for smooth transition of power will be getting emboldened and now rubbing their hands in glee at what’s unravelling. This is a dangerous precedent to set. I am livid! For purely selfish reasons and how this will set African democracy back

If this was happening in an African country then there would have been calls for UN intervention a long time ago.

@anewdispensation I sometimes wonder this as well. How can they listen to him and not be dying inside of embarrassment

I think Biden will take Georgia and PA. the lead is closing dramatically now
Roussette · 06/11/2020 00:37

I must sleep... wonder if there will be a new thread by the time I wake up!
It will be number 110.... wow.... this has moved fast. If anyone starts it, can they put that number in the title... thank youuuuu

Sleep well everyone, tomorrow is another day, no idea if I will sleep or what I will wake up to!

ICouldHaveCheckedFirst · 06/11/2020 00:37

I wonder how many watching that, wished they'd voted for Biden instead?

Jared and Ivanka?

It’s the life they’ve grifted created for themselves, they deserve everything that’s coming their way.

anewdispensation · 06/11/2020 00:39

Agreed @CherryValanc with all sorts of international monitors and peace keeping troops parachuted in! The Hypocrisy is stark!

SinisterBumFacedCat · 06/11/2020 00:40

This is why it’s important to loose. He has never learnt from loosing. To him a looser is the worst possible thing to be.

Me too. It's not like he doesn't have form, but he still manages to shock.

She'll need to think of something to do because the plan to run her for President in 2024 just went right out of the window.

No chance the Republicans will back that now.

This has been playing pretty much as every predicted. (Maybe worse case scenario?) Reckon it's been planned for months. If not before Covid.

If he call himself a Christian, humbling himself is a step of becoming a Christian but he is probably not ready for that.
BlueCatRedCat · 06/11/2020 00:46

Just breathtaking, the arrogance of Ivanka thinking she is qualified to run for the highest office in the world. I mean, I know Daddy was barely qualified, but selling ugly handbags, using daddy's money and name, hardly makes you fit for political office, never mind the presidency.

@blueangel19

I feel sorry for trump haters. I come here and read these threads and wonder if they have being feeding the kids in the last two days. And then now they have to worry about the possibility of Trump running in 2024. Just in case www.anxietyrecoveryretreat.com
Still feeling sorry for us after that horror show of a speech from Trump?
