This was just on CNN, a reporter had asked Biden if he was the polar opposite of trump. Joe crossed himself and said, "I sure hope so." Gave me chills. We (the country) needs this right now. I love him so much. (((( julie5 )))) |

Trump has told people he has no plans to concede
From CNN's Kaitlan Collins
In conversations with allies in recent days, President Trump has said he has no intention to concede the election to Joe Biden, even if his path to a second term in office is effectively blocked by losses in places like Georgia and Pennsylvania.
Aides, including his chief of staff Mark Meadows, have not attempted to bring Trump to terms of what’s happening and have instead fed his baseless claim that the election is being stolen from him.
Trump’s allies have grown concerned that someone is going to have to reckon with the President that his time in office is potentially coming to an end, though they have not decided who should be the one to do it. There has been talk of potentially Jared Kushner or Ivanka Trump doing so, sources said.

Just a (very happy) reminder. All four Biden paths are still open. 253 + GA 16 + AZ 11 = 280 253 + GA 16 + NV 6 = 275 253 + PA 20 = 273 253 + AZ 11 + NV 6 = 270 And Trump paths are rapidly closing: 214 + AK 3 + PA 20 + AZ 11 + GA 16 + NV 6= 270 214 + AK 3 + PA 20 + AZ 11 + GA 16 + NC 15 = 279 These are AWESOME scenarios. But GA alone means a tie, which means a Trump win when it gets thrown to the House w/1 vote per state delegation. We need GA+1. Trump only needs 269. Not 270. |

Mystery solved: Philadelphia still has around 20 000 ballots to process. Should be done by noon (I'm assuming local time).

The care and concern from the UK/European/Aussie peas is heartwarming to this American to wake up to. Thanks for keeping tabs on things for us through our night! Agree. I know I’m several pages behind right now, but I check this thread first when I wake up now to get the news from our overseas peas holding the fort while we sleep. |

More secret service have been sent to Joe’s house and the airspace above his house is now a no-fly zone. As is the convention center where he’s supposed to speak later today. I’m not going to be surprised if there is an assassination attempt. Especially give Trumps rhetoric. It’s going to be dangerous for Biden/Harris and for election officials |

On a different note, the political colours in the US are such a mindfuck for quite a few foreigners. In many countries, red is associated with the left and blue with the right, particularly the conservative right. My brain is still seeing the US map at times as dominated by the Communist Party.  Yes! Not so much now but earlier in the whole American election thing it took me a while to get used to the colours being the opposite way around 😊 My brain: RED LIKE STEAK! STEAK LIKE COWBOY! COWBOY LIKE TEXAS! TEXAS LIKE REPUBLICAN! |

Fox News issues statement to their staff: they will not refer to Biden as the president elect should he win.
That’s really fucking mature. Cnn says “may as well hand in your credential because you’ll never be taken seriously as a journalist again”.

I my house I have a transgender and gay son. My husband cannot wrap his brain around it despite me explaining that we don’t need to understand it. It JUST IS. So the fight really centered on LGBTQ I sent him an article from the human rights commission which he refused to read. I said how can you claim to love me or my child if you won’t even discuss the issues with me. If you won’t learn. He then called Obama the n word which my son heard. I said now I’m out because I’m not raising my kids in a house that uses that word. Under any circumstance. He’s since apologized but I’m sick to my stomach today. He wants to claim ignorance on the issues but if my adult children do that, he gets mad. He’s allowed to be an ignorant voter but god forbid my 18 yo vote democratic because she surely doesn’t know anything. I’m still pretty upset. I knew it would come to this if i ever voiced my opinions. Afterward my son thanked me for standing up for what’s right. Hugs. I’m sorry your going thru this. That all sounds all quite tough in addition to all the regular world stress. I have no advice, just cyber hugs |

For a tie to even be conceivable, Trump needs AZ, NV and PA. |

What would happen if The Orange Menace truly does not concede and refuses to leave office and the White House? Will he be forcibly removed by the military? Will they throw his suits and orange make up all over the front lawn, like when a woman ejects her cheating, lying husband?

If all current leads hold, Biden would get 306 and Trump 232. Exactly the numbers of 2016 but reversed. Landslide, right?  |

I can't imagine how hard it was to stand up to him, but I hope you feel good knowing that you did. Big hugs... And julie5 don’t feel bad, your not ‘fighting’ over the election, you standing up for your kids. Again hugs |

I can totally see him refusing to leave, chaining himself to the Resolute Desk. |

I think my family are losing patience with me - they can’t understand why I’m so invested in this. On the other hand, I can’t understand anyone NOT being invested in this! To me, it’s the ultimate ‘Good over evil’! I’m invested but freaked out and in avoidance mode. I’m not watching anything. I’m avoiding news, FB & IG. I’ll go look when y’all here tell me it’s ‘over’ Then I’ll be waiting for the courts to work I guess. 🤷♀️ |

I worry for him and Kamala. So many guns circulating in the US and incitement to violence from the current president himself... A lot of us are worried. My daughter wants to go to the inauguration (we went to Obama’s second because my dad was in it). I told her there was no way we are going anywhere near DC. It’s going to be a bumpy 3 months. |

In 45 minutes, we expect 75 000 ballots out of Maricopa. Trump needs 59% of all ballots out of Arizona to win the state so we'll start getting a better idea of where AZ is headed depending on how this next batch divides up between both candidates.

From my research, once Biden is sworn in, the entire Secret Service reports to him, and they will remove the former president, forcibly if necessary. |

The 8,000 votes left to count for Georgia- how do they tend to vote? The lead is so slim I’m 🤕.

McCain’s concession speech is trending on FB. Where are these republicans? I miss honor and leadership. He talks about building bridges and coming together because we are all Americans and that is the affiliation that matters the most. Where are they?  We need more men like this. More McCains and yes, Bushes. I might not agree with 100% of their policies, but i knew, for sure, their decisions were made on what thry thought was best for our country and not for just them and their families. They respected institutions. |
