Arizona decreases the lead for Biden a bit
As pointed out by the CNN stat nerd, it's not nearly the percentage he needed (of course we're at the point where that state doesn't matter anyways). He needs something to the effect of 61% and this latest dump was barely into the 50's. Trump will lose AZ

Goddamnit I just want the election to be called so I can crack open my special 15yr extra anejo tequila. Just ready for the damn votes to all be counted.
No, goddamnit YOU. Open that shit tonight regardless if it's called. It's going to be called in GA PA as blues for sure, those two western states are just gravy.
I actually have a similar story. My brother-in-law is the beer/wine lead at a Kroger and he hooked me up with a bottle of Perrier Jouet...for $5.

Can't wait till Biden is declared the winner today, really excited to have someone that can bring people back together. Maybe some of my neighbors will begin speaking to me more as I walk my dog.
Unfortunately it's not that simple. Trumpsters are too far gone. It wouldn't matter what candidate the D's beat him with, they think this idiot is a prophet and goddamn anyone who stands in his way. Win or lose, they will remain an angry lot. Trump was able to mobilize them in a very efficient way and they're not just going to suddenly not be dicks just because he lost. In fact they may actually get worse precisely because he lost. They're going to remain a problem for a very long time.
What the D's need to do is immediately start gearing up for 2022. They need to pull their fucking heads out of their asses and come to grips with the fact that the younger generation is far more progressive than they want to admit, and they need to come up with a way to efficiently mobilize them in every single state. If they seriously think this Clintonian model will catch fire again, they stand to lose everything right back to those psychos in 2-4 years.

I heard the only thing they did was allow the monitors to get closer than 20 feet. The court changed it to six feet.
By the way, I also heard that the vote counting, at least some of them, are being livestreamed.
I'm not too familiar with the finer details of the case as I only saw a very brief article, but if you're correct it would not surprise me...at all. Would love it if one of our resident law nerds would chime in.

That avenue isn’t looking good for him. He didn’t even both trying to put a legal team together until Wednesday and the morons he has assembled haven’t been able to come up with any cognizable legal claims. Their filings are shit that would get you laughed out of 1L and some of them might end up getting sanctioned because they’re lying to courts about easily-verifiable facts.
Their plan was always to use the confusion of a slow count to steal this in the courts, but it really seems like they thought the Supreme Court could just waive a magic wand. For people so invested in the idea that perception is all that matters, it’s wild that they didn’t do any of the necessary legwork to create the perception of a legitimate judicial intervention.
And like I said earlier in the thread yesterday, the SCOTUS still has a modicum of decorum and respect for the institutions that ultimately landed them there. A judicial appointment does not include within it an obligation to bend the knee to Orange Joffrey, and they likely won't even hear the case much less would they be even able to do anything to ultimately overturn the overall result of the EC. This is where people have to learn that in the court of law, facts overwhelmingly dominate feelings and fantasy usually gets dwarfed by reality (Kitzmiller vs. Dover outside should have told you). If the Republicans weren't so hostile to critical thinking, they would understand that already.

Fine and dandy but you know Trump could fuck shit up in the courts?
Have you been paying attention to how badly that's gone for him so far? All that piece of shit has been able to do is get an order in Philly to "allow monitors," which I'm pretty sure they were already doing. Just because you bring a lawsuit doesn't mean you'll win it, and if you look at his history you'll notice he has a piss poor record on lawsuits.

You're goddamn right the common man has lost. Bitch.
I mean the common man has been losing outright since the 1970's, but the R strategy has been "keep pumping their little heads with big tales about how they're winning bigly." It's been working since Reagan and life for them hasn't been easier since then.

Biden’s got it. While this “slow motion” vote counting has been painful, I truly do love the thought of just how much pain and suffering it’s causing Trump.
Watching him try and deal with the fact that voters are directly targeting him is immensely enjoyable. Keep flailing Donny boy, keep flailing.
That's what that stupid reality TV "star" gets for focusing on the optics of giving the illusion of an early lead. That motherfucker, for his entire life, has been all about the sizzle and none about the steak.

There are only about 3-4 million or so Americans who had any fucking business whatsoever voting for Benito Tangerini. The rest of them? That's just a combination of mindless party loyalty, ignorance, bigotry, and/or racism, et al compelling a person to almost deliberately vote against their own interests.

Obviously the Atlanta current count is helping the most, and who the fuck knows what the inevitable recount will hold for us...but it would appear 2020 is only mostly an evil twisted bitch of a year...as John Lewis' former Congressional district #5 continues to pour in the last trickle of votes to be counted for Biden and widen his lead in Georgia. As posted upthread, so wonderful that John's last few months were spent urging his supporters to get out their votes in their communities. They listened and just like John promised them, it's making a world of difference. Thank You, John.
John Lewis lived his life as a symbol of what it was to be a great American.
Donald Trump lives his life as precisely and exactly not that.

I have a wonderful thought. Biden wins Nevada to finish at 270. PA and AZ goes Trump. In the electoral college vote one person goes rogue and votes Trump that was supposed to vote Biden. Yikes. Pa must happen.
Trump's gonna lose GA too. Biden very likely will break 300 unless he somehow loses AZ

I was using the DirecTV Election Mix multiscreen for a while and they include Newsmax. Those idiots are full on Kool Aid. They were calling out FOX for being liberals.
Oh I know I saw some dumb anchor bitch of theirs throw a fit over some little red wagon in some state carrying ballots. Those people are such a beating.

CNN reporting GA lead is now 1,096

Trump likely isn’t coming back in Georgia either. He’s going to have to luck out on the recount.
By the end of the count I’m pretty sure Biden will have a lead that even a recount would be very hard pressed to overcome

You think that's more likely than these whacked out fools simply concluding that Fox News has been compromised and moving on to OAN? 😄
Hell that was already happening before the election. The furthest-to-the-right of their viewing audience grew tired of the Shepard Smiths and Chris Wallaces and instead want to watch a show where the host's sign off line is "even when I'm wrong, I'm right."

Did these trumpy Republican fucksticks really plan to steal the election by filing a ton of lawsuits to stop count right at the moment they're ahead? They really believed that judges were just allow that to happen whenever they want?
Well they are a truly deluded lot. They think that by appointing judges, those judges must bend the knee, and "bending the knee" means "always rule in favor of King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Fifty States, and Protector of the Realm." But these judges have respect for tradition and decorum, and if you throw them shit, they're going to tell you it's shit regardless of what your fucking name is. This is why I laugh at the whole SCOTUS "scenario." Even if by some monkey-assed chance in Hell it gets there, they would kindly ask the bailiff to escort the plaintiff's lawyer from the room before the fucking red light went off.
There are absolutely no reality-rooted arguments that Trump's bootlicking lawyers could articulate in a court of law that would for a moment compel a judge to order any sort of relief that results in an overturn of any of these states that went against him. Trump is that little kid that pulls his pants down and shakes his little weewee at everyone just so they'll look at him. "VOTER FRAUD!!! STOLEN ELECTION!!! BIDEN CRIME FAMILY!!! LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEE"

He'll leave gracefully in exchange for future pardons.
Unfortunately I think that's what will happen because all these concerns that have been expressed about "he's not leaving" are very legitimate. The only way you literally make him come out of his little room is if you tell him "daddy isn't going to spank you."

Who among us doesn't love BBQ, beer and freedom? He must have some well-articulated grievances.
What kills me is people like that are the ones that say stupid shit like this:
"Most of y'all look down on the people I live with. You make fun of them. You say they're a cult."
Even if all that crap was true...can they really blame "us?" They're certainly not making it easy on themselves with ghastly theatrical performances like what happened in that video. I mean you'll have to pardon me if after looking at this "man" and watching him rant and rave a few seconds about "the Biden Crime Family" and the "stolen election," I do not see a well informed and well studied intellectual.
And whether or not it's a cult is a matter of juxtaposing beliefs and actions to the definitions of the word. A cult is "a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object." Uh...yeah, that's what we see objectively. There's no doubt they're devoted to Trump at religious levels. There's a fucking conspiracy theory floating about that the whole world of elites constitute a gigantic pedophile ring and that Donald Trump is the savior that was sent to Earth to defeat them. There are countless religious figures who literally think, and tell their flocks, that Trump was sent by the Invisible Deity to be the POTUS. The person who posted that quote I pasted is basically asking us "how can you say they're a part of a cult?" My response to that is "how can we NOT say that they're part of a cult?"

Mail ballots postmarked by Election Day have until the 12th to arrive and they won’t have additional results to then. Trump will very likely win bc mail ballots arriving after Election Day have not been a big number elsewhere.Ah I missed that. Thanks.

California has like 20x the EC votes as Wyoming. That isn’t sufficient? There’s way more republicans in California than there are in Wyoming.
They have 20x against their EC votes but more than triple that figure against their population.
