As vote-counting continues into the weekend, all eyes are on Pennsylvania as the state likely to be decisive in determining who the next president will be. The slow drip of results has required patience from both sides as mail-in ballots continue to be tabulated.

Biden was leading in the state by 0.5 percent early Saturday,
above the margin for a recount
Above the margin for an automatic recount.
Not necessarily that other type.

Would be interesting to have an audio / video feed of Fat Nixon rampaging through the White’s House.

I read somewhere about a Bush official saying how difficult it is for a party to direct a state recount, the effort, manpower and cost involved, and that’s just one state. Not multiple states. So, there’s that.

I kinda hope Trump asks for a recount in places that require the requesting party to pay for it. And then they ask for payment up front, and he can’t afford it…

The decision desks must be getting close to calling PA and GA. They are running out of votes to count.

They’ll just announce that their computers are overheated. worn out. So they can’t process the new data until Monday, everyone just go home and sleep for a while…
Or maybe they just need to feed the hamsters some more.

This is just weird. Trump’s latest tweet announces a press conference in Philadelphia that is apparently happening at a landscaping business.

Enough with the nail-biting already. I’d like us to be able to concentrate on how we keep the Sore Loser from burning it all down on his way out.
Yes, I know we don’t (yet) have the Senate.

Republicans in General should be reflecting on why did they do so well in congressional races and and yet Trump is losing.
In GA for example…
Trump: 2,404,277 Votes
Perdue: 2,455,146
That tells you that there are 50 thousand republican voters that hate the idea of having “socialists” running the country but consider that Trump is a total asshole that has no business in the WH.

Getting a bit tired of the networks not calling it.
Are they working for Trump, and don’t want Biden going into the lawsuits having already been declared the winner?

You can’t expect Trump to go to a real fancy hotel like the Four Seasons, it will make him feel embarrassed by his own tacky ratholes.

The covid-19 press conferences didn’t do it for you?

Yes everybody everywhere should be asking why Chump thinks all kinds of horrible things happened in this election, when every R representative and senator hung on to their seats. Record setting turnout even for the reptiles. How is it this wholesale rat f****** of the election by the Dems somehow only hurt him and not the other Rs on the ticket?
Do all of those other politicians want the counting stopped? Do they all want a recount? Do they all want another couple weeks of not knowing and just waiting?

Already happened: Wisconsin. Unclear whether they’ve coughed up the dough yet. WI, being no dummies, requires the $3 million cash up front.

Well there are the military votes in GA. And with those the GOP has no issue about when they were mailed nor how long it took them to arrive. Apparently 8000 of them, and military vote favors GOP by a good margin. So GA is not yet in the bag. Now if Trump wants to stop the count…

I’ve heard that the military votes have been coming in a wash. Not going to have any effect to speak of. Apparently Trump has pissed off a lot of otherwise right-leaning people with his insults to the military…

Biden Outpacing Trump In PA By Widening Margin
That’s the story
It’s the lack of specifics that TrumpWorld is playing on. Injecting doubt (What’s Trump’s Big 11:30 Press Conference for?), chaos and downright sabotage of this voting process…
