Is it time to change the thread title to Election Day [Months] 2020-2021 follow-along thread? Time to throw a net over the nutjobs. It’s over. Michigan and Georgia have certified their ballots. Wisconsin’s recount netted Biden more votes. Arizona and Pennsylvania are locks for Biden. What’s next, a California recount? The fat lady has sung. The party is over. Donald’s run had died. Guiliani’s dye has run. The lawsuits are getting tossed out at such a clip that even Gary Sanchez has a better batting average. The campaign is past the rigor mortis phase and needs to be buried before the stench gets even worse. ---

Michigan and Georgia have certified their ballots. Wisconsin’s recount netted Biden more votes. Arizona and Pennsylvania are locks for Biden… Arizona just certified Biden’s win a few minutes ago. Nevertheless, Trump (who still controls the vast power of the U.S. military and federal government) has still not conceded. Barring a concession (which I don’t expect will ever happen), I’m not going to relax until the electoral votes are cast on 12/14/2020, Congress counts the votes on 1/6/2021, and Biden is inaugurated on 1/20/2021 at noon. ---

Trump is still hoping for two things: 1. SCOTUS will throw the election to him 2. two states that voted for Biden will ignore the voters and send in a trump slate of electors Both are highly unlikely and would result in tumbrels and guilotines. ---

There are still shenanigans going on in Georgia with the Kraken lawyer and Judge Batten. Now he has ordered select counties to preserve their voting machines (not wipe) and a hearing is scheduled for Friday. I don’t even understand exactly who she is representing since trump supposedly fired her from his team. > **[Judge freezes voting machines in 3 Georgia counties](https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/30/judge-freezes-voting-machines-georgia-counties-441342)** > > The suit is one of two cases filed in federal courts last week by Sidney Powell, an outspoken Texas attorney. ---

> [@Mike\_Mabes](#): > > Neil and Harvest Moon. I’ll interrupt this Trump bashing for a story. It is a true story, no exaggeration. Saw Neil circa 1998 at Jones Beach near NYC. It is an outdoor venue, the water right behind it. It was a cloudy night and the moon was covered. But as Neil played Harvest Moon, the clouds drifted away and the full moon became visible above the stage. Such a beautiful thing, the song and the stage and the water behind. It was the most incredible thing I have even seen at a concert. And as the song ended, the clouds slowly came back. So similar – but kinda opposite – to my story of seeing Depeche Mode at the Rose Bowl sometime in the 80s. It was a clear summer day and evening, and by the time the headliners came on it was completely dark. And as soon as they started “Blasphemous Rumors,” a thunderstorm broke out suddenly. Lightning, thunder, and all. As soon as the song was over, the rain stopped, and it was calm and clear for the rest of the show. ---

Lol. AZ Gov Steve Ducey said that he changed his ring tone to ‘Hail to the Chief’ so he wouldn’t miss any calls from Trump. Well, guess who called right when, on live TV, Ducey was certifying the election? 😅 And GUESS WHO WAS SILENCED ON LIVE TV WHILE THEY WERE CALLING THE GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 FOOTA… er, footage here: > ---

Thanks, @John_T. The whole thing is just pathetic now. I must say I am enjoying the turd circling the bowl, even if it refuses to go down. Team Trump just keeps losing over and over and over - it’s like a gift that keeps giving. If he just woulda taken his lumps on Nov 3 we all would not still be laughing at him now, 3 weeks later.
