Meanwhile, Trump is playing golf at his golf course in Virginia while his lawyers are holding a press conference at (wait for it) a landscaping company in Philadelphia.
Say, didn’t DT say he wouldn’t be golfing all the time like that slacker Obama?
Well thank f**k for that. When Trump secured Florida I thought that was it. Never been happier to be wrong.
@1: Donald Trump lied about something. Are we supposed to be surprised?
He hasn’t won the presidency. He’s president-elect. If he doesn’t pad the result much more, he’s vulnerable to faithless electors.
I congratulate the pseudoprogressive Americans with yet another conservative in the White House, who steadfastly will guard the status quo.
@Rob Grigjanis(#4):
15 faithless electors without Nevada or Georgia?
So he’s pretty safe already on that. It is just that there will be a gazillion cases filed in courts. And all on baseless accusations as the ones that Guiliani spewed in the press conference after the election was called for Biden.
Who Cares @6: Only if Arizona is clinched. Is it?
@Rob Grigjanis(#7):
It is probably because I get my news from AP, they called the state for Biden already. Funny is that Fox did the same.
Still 18 hours ago (according to CNN) the gap was 38k votes with 235k ballots left (of which about 100k are estimated to be provisional and won’t be counted until Wednesday). 128k votes counted from what I got from Politico.com (Which seem to get the data on who has what state from AP) and the gap has shrunk to 20k, the number counted also means only the provisional ballots are left.
If this keeps up the state will enter recount territory with Biden ahead by 1k to 2k. Most likely the gap will be bigger since the demographics where the most provisional ballots appear in are the ones that happen to be voting more for Biden.

Congratulations to you for remaining ‘pure’ as you scoff at the objectively better result.
In rural Pennsylvania I’m surrounded by the 80-something percent of my county that wanted to re-elect Trump. I will have trouble looking at my neighbors the same way.
well, if ever your neighbors could be reached by simple conversation… I’d say next week would be a good time to try.
