#Trump thread No 111 and the count goes on.

[lionheart]

Come on over and let's see this through to the end.

This is not helpful. Same margin, more uncounted votes. Just arrived or allowed by court?

I suspect Trump will want to try and count the votes by hand. Or start a riot.

Desperate

This is incredible. Part of Trump’s “evidence” of fraud in Michigan was that a staffer had been told by an anonymous person, who had themselves been told by other people that they’d been asked to fiddle with ballots.

The evidence? A yellow sticky note.

The judge threw it out.

I assume this is the same unnamed person who stole Tucker Carlson's parcel

If not satire... this twitter thread is glorious. twitter.com/cemetrygates89/status/1324828943413858305?s=21

Was Betsy De Vos your geography teacher.

Next batch of vote results from Maricopa County in Arizona should be released 11am Eastern Time, which is 4pm in the UK (ET is five hours behind us, @puzzledquiz) so we may get something decisive about Arizona then. Less than 20 minutes.

I've got CNN on in the background all the time now...... when they talk of all these counties within these sttates in the US...
I'm taken aback at how many I have heard of.

I think it's because I read all the Jack Reacher books twice and he used to criss cross the country 😂😂
There can be no other reason!

I spent this morning raking leaves. Counting ballots seems similar- not matter how many you deal with, more have arrived when you look round

4:30 pm UK time it all gets exciting in Philadelphia
or not

I know all the east coat and west coast states, but the ones in the middle are placed vaguely in the area labelled Here Be Dragons

I was joking when I said he’d be declaring a win, but just minutes ago...

Thanks @ListeningQuietly and @Nancydrawn for your replies about registered party supporters. Very interesting.

So it turns out POTUS has gone to play golf
leaving Guiliani to face the music alone in Phili
splendid

This result is coming with the same sense of urgency as me starting my O level English Lit revision

Flava was that Tweet genuinely just a few minutes ago?

Delurking to say I genuinely cannot believe that a grown man, in the most high-profile political job in the world, is so entirely devoid of humility, dignity, or self-awareness.

Thank you. As you were.

Par for Trump's course throughout his Presidency (if you'll excuse the golfing analogy). As someone said yesterday, why is it only now that he is being called out on his lies, after 4 years of them?

has Trump gaining slightly in Arizona, as of seven minutes ago.

And a whole bunch more ballots have been added in Pennsylvania: it's gone up from 83,589 remaining to 96,092 remaining, in the past hour.

That's hysterical

While we wait for a larger update from Arizona’s Maricopa County, we just got a new batch of results from Pinal County, where Trump leads Biden by nearly 15 percentage points, 57 percent to 41 percent. In this batch, though, Trump outpaced his share in the county, getting 62 percent to Biden’s 35 percent and netting a little less than 2,000 votes.

Biden now leads statewide in Arizona by just under 28,000 votes.

@GrouchyKiwi

Judge: Do you have evidence of this order? A letter? A recording?

Plaintiff: Uh, we have a sticky note, your Honor (U removed for verisimilitude), in some unknown person's handwriting.

One thing I am learning from this saga is that the judges with big personalities on The Good Wife were actually representative of real US judges.

Do US judges do sarcasm? There are some wonderfully sarcastic judgements from UK judges.

Thanks Flava. Just staggered at the level of his delusion!

Ne’er a truer word spoken

A LOT.... of bollocks

I do not know how Anderson Cooper sits so calmly next to Rick Santorum, a truly odious man who said that sodomy laws should be upheld because gay sex was "antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family."

From the same interview: "if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual [gay] sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does."

(This is why Dan Savage came up with the purposefully gross neologism for santorum, which actually has its own wikipedia page.)

I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!!
