Also, 90% of the votes left in Nevada are Las Vegas area.

Just win all these states so Trump can’t try and sue 4+ states over the results.
I think it is important for the win to be decisive along these lines. I have no doubt, for example, that if he really needed to he could make a run at finding 15k Biden votes to get tossed in Georgia.

That won't work if he has to run that playbook on bigger numbers, in more places.

309? You giving him Alaska, too?
My bad 306. I was up until 3 following this madness. :)

I just don't see how Sr. and Jr. being complete assholes could/would help them in any way.
I would think class and decency might be the better way to go when you want a judge (and/or jury) to rule in your favor.
Maybe I'm wrong? Thankfully I'm not a Trump nor have I felt the need to be an asshole in relation/s to what I am suing about.

My conservative FB friends are going nuts. I can't keep up with the conspiracy theories. I'd unfriend them but they would consider that validation.

It's hard to see what the claims even are. It's also not going to be helpful at all the the campaign itself engaged in open election fraud last night.

Pleadings thus far are bare bones. Relief sought is very minor. Doesn’t seem to be anything to the lawsuits to date.

Correct. The only fraud I see is a POTUS openly undermining our democracy.

Haul this buffoon outta here.

Fox News seems pretty resigned to a President Joe Biden. Reporter there is currently saying pretty nice things about him while saying there is no election fraud. I had to check to make sure I was on the right channel.

They have a lasting reputation at stake. Tapper on CNN called out Fox this morning ...

It's more than a lasting reputation. They've squeezed Trump for all he's worth, and his most likely next step is to compete with Fox. Time to distance, and align with the non-Trump part of the right.

Or stall until the vacuum is filled by the next 'Pub looking to take up the mantle to lead Trump's FoxNews-consuming base.

Honestly, Trump isnt done milking those people of their money by a long shot. He'll sell them shit for years while continuing to peddle his victim-of-the-Deep-State persona.

I don't think FOX News will call the election though because of the pending lawsuits.
I might be wrong - and hope i'm pleasantly surprised - but that's how you keep your viewers glued - give them a map with those states with another color or icon representing 'contested'.

Is there any way to go back and review Naismith’s “guest how long Trump will remain in office” thread?

Cuz my chances of winning that look better and better!

Everyone else was predicting some date he’d be removed from office via impeachment trial, etc.

But I was the only one who boldly predicted “January 20, 2021”

FoxNews put out an email to their on-air personalities telling them to NOT refer to Biden as "President-elect" because of Trump's pending lawsuits.
