BTW I see CNN did a bang-up job with their sub-titles throughout.

@RedToothBrush

The GA update....is that 1am local (EST) time? I'm in PST.

RedToothBrush · 06/11/2020 00:50

Recount though?

Unavoidable.

But we have to know the original result before they call a recount.

PhilSwagielka · 06/11/2020 00:50

Why is he so upset? Biden hasn’t won.

EveryoneRevealsThemselves · 06/11/2020 00:50

According to Scott Dorkin
“A federal judge just denied the Trump campaign’s absurd request to stop vote counting in Philadelphia.“

GA 1am Uk time - so within the next hour or so. Or it should be at the rate they've been counting.

They know by now they will almost certainly have to recount so they will want to get this done asap.

Republican Party support for Trump is starting to collapse. This from Mitt Romney :

OK, thanks!!!

@Blueberries0112

I don't think they will cause trouble , like I wrote I live in this type of community... in south Virginia where there are civil war monuments are everywhere. They will be ok. Maybe a few bad apples but that's it. They just don't want you taking their guns and religion away and they are good
Nobody is taking guns. Clinton didn’t. Obama didn’t. The NRA lobby won’t let it happen.

OK I'm going to bed, alerts on, lights off, night 3!

Anderson Cooper on CNN wins the Internet with this quote:

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

I saw this, it was beautifully put, but this is the president of the United States of America. How did it ever get to this Confused

Apileofballyhoo · 06/11/2020 00:55

They're all responsible for this shit show. They're still not speaking up.

MerchantOfVenom · 06/11/2020 00:55

Anderson Cooper -

“He’s the most powerful person in the world. And we see him as an obese turtle on his back, flailing in the hot sun, realising his time is over”.

Love it.

MerchantOfVenom · 06/11/2020 00:56

Crikey - cross post - apologies! Grin

lionheart · 06/11/2020 00:58

Memorable though. Smile

EveryoneRevealsThemselves · 06/11/2020 01:03

I can’t stop watching. Come on Georgia. I need to sleep

AcrossthePond55 · 06/11/2020 01:05

@Apileofballyhoo

They're all responsible for this shit show. They're still not speaking up.
As of right now they don't know which way the post-Trump era wind is going to blow. Will he fade into relative obscurity or will he get his own show on Fox and become an influential blowhard like Hannity and Beck?

None of them who face re-election in the future (especially in the mid-terms) wants to alienate Scrotus right now. But plenty of them will speak up at a future date about how horrible this speech was and how they never really supported it if he loses all influence down the line.

BlueCatRedCat · 06/11/2020 01:05

So Trump falsely asserted that democrats are in charge of voting in Georgia. It is in fact 2 republicans. Less than 3.5k votes between them now, 18, 900 votes yet to be counted.

lionheart · 06/11/2020 01:08

Georgia has been fasinating.

VaggieMight · 06/11/2020 01:08

He looked broken though, didn't he? He was reading something (at times) that he presumably didn't write himself. Why are his team letting him do this? Why aren't the regular Republicans taking charge now?

Apileofballyhoo · 06/11/2020 01:12

For all their religion and pro-life this and American democracy and freedom that, they have no integrity whatsoever.

lyralalala · 06/11/2020 01:13

Twitter have suspended Steve Bannon's account after his vile comment about Dr Fauci and the FBI Director

lionheart · 06/11/2020 01:13

New York Post appears to have jumped ship.

RedToothBrush · 06/11/2020 01:14

I am led to believe there are outstanding military votes to come for Georgia. So if Biden does over take it could get wiped out in that.

I'm not certain on when or how many there are. My information isn't entirely clear.
