Election Day [Week][Month[s]] [Year] 2020 follow-along thread

I’ve called her the “Mouth of Trump” before, but she’s really more like Baghdad Bob.

Just like Baghdad Bob denied in front of TV news cameras that there were any American tanks in Baghdad as they rolled right by him in 2003, Kayleigh will be insisting that Trump has won the election as Biden is taking the oath of office.

Trump is dropping his Arizona lawsuit and it looks like other lawsuits aren’t really gaining much traction beyond potentially impact scattered provisional votes.

There’s going to be a moment - probably soon - when Trump realizes, his time in the White House is nearing its end, and with it, his time as a free man and a really rich man may also be nearing an end as well.

I suspect what we will see then isn’t spite, but full-on panic and there is the potential for some really erratic behavior. If I were him and his family, I’d be moving funds into overseas accounts that evade FATCA/Fincen and have no extradition treaty, and I’d be searching for contacting Pinkerton and a good real estate agent.

By all accounts he knows this. He is just being a shit because he can.

He looked throughout like he was close to tears.

So we’ve seen denial, anger, and now depression. Can acceptance be far behind?

How utterly bizarre. So he just gets an orange ‘rinse’ instead of getting his hair actually dyed? How much time would he spend each day get his hair coiffed FFS?

Oh and white looks just soooo much better on him, of course.

And also because he knows he has to keep the dog-and-pony show going, in order to continue extracting money from the suckers who support him. We probably will be hearing about the “illegitimate” Biden administration for years to come, whatever Trump’s next scam turns out to be.

So would a mask.

Think we still have bargaining. “If you let me play president again, I pinky-promise to be a good boy!”

(And “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday in two weeks for a hamberder today!”)

FYI:

That puts Biden at 306 electoral votes. Same as Trump so therefore a mandate right?

He is basically pathological. Lying is his normal mode, I’m not sure if he even has enough self-awareness to know it.

Yeah, I think a lot of this is about extracting cash from idiot donors. Trump is gradually coming to a place where he seems ready to accept his fate. I’m sure he will vacillate between different moods and reactions but in the end, the math makes it clear that Biden is the winner, and I think it’s getting harder for Republicans to keep up the act. Still, they’re afraid of disconnecting with his base, so this could drag on for a while.

Potentially more. Due to faithless electors, although Trump won states worth 306, he actually received 304. If Biden receives all of his, he’ll beat Trump again.

Trump tweeted this a couple of hours ago,

Does that mean he’s going to start tilting at the voting machine company now? DHS took great pains to debunk that one, guess they’ll have to try harder.

Pence’s mother won’t allow him that common courtesy.

Mother mother or mother?

Scary that makes sense.

Yes, still a horrible pandemic, but some experts say maybe only 1/4 the deaths.

One tidbit from the briefing:

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo “will have to let us know when he’s ready for it because otherwise, we can’t be delivering it to a state that won’t be giving it to its people immediately,” Trump said during a press conference from the White House Rose garden.

As if he’s going to be around to have any say in the matter.

I thought his hair care runs $60k per year.

If anyone feels like reading walls o’ text, CNN put up a transcript from closed captioning.

The White House should have its own – much easier to read – transcript up eventually.
