    I think he wants to precipitate civil unrest.

    Just watched the Trump replay. He's basically saying that he won

    You should turn off the TV and put down your phone.

    Nope!

    The MATH for the non-called states does NOT support EITHER candidate.

    The UNCOUNTED votes in PA are 2:1 in favor of Biden.

    AZ looks like it will go Blue for Biden.

    Way too many UNCOUNTED ballots still remain to make the call IMO.

    I don't think so. I've known and worked for businessmen like him. He's just impatient and "results driven". He just wants an answer, like we all do. I don't think he always knows the slow-moving government process and why he can't just speed things up. That doesn't make sense to him. I get it, but I also do get the reasons why he cannot legally "speed them up" like he might do at a company.

    You just said they were "uncounted", yet you said 2:1. Even if they are 2:1, let's give it a hypothetical number. Let's say there's around 500,000 uncounted ballots. What is 250,000 more Biden votes going to do?

    Nothing. Not a damn thing. The state still goes to Trump.

    He hasn't done a solid day's work in his life. Maybe there was that one short spurt of workaholism when he had to pay a doctor to prove he had bonespurs, but apart from that it's been cruisey and lazy for someone who frittered away his daddy's inheritance. Listen to the people who have worked in his administration. He doesn't focus on anything and is more interested in ringing up Fox and Friends and rambling incoherently at them than doing any work. And how many days of golf has the 'workaholic' played so far?

    Also, it was Republicans who insisted that early votes in some states not be counted until after the polls had closed.

    I thought Americans were taught all about the electoral process in school. Why is he disrespecting the process? Why does he think the SCOTUS has jurisdiction over voting which the states manage?

    Yes, much more directly and bluntly than Biden did. Except of course, Biden didn't threaten to sue. But some adviser will tell Trump why he can't win a suit.

    Biden said he won....in a nice way, by phrasing it in a more politically correct way. "We're going to win this," is different from "We won this," but it is the same message. Both sides are saying "We will win."

    whether Biden of Trump can win yet is still too close to call, but Trump for sure lost the popular vote again, yet to be seen who wins the EC

    California/NY is always difficult to overcome. Trump's advantage in the midwest and his hold on the blue wall has been effective.

    Trump thinks his three SC picks will steal the election for him, I doubt it, they have lifetime positions, Trump has no power over them

    Yeah, that's why half of America thinks that the popular vote is more "fair" than the electoral college. Do people remember everything they were taught "all about" in school? Especially if they don't spend most of their career in the relevant field? LOL

    I'm going to bed. Goodnight y'all. Everyone sleep well.

    But even you must recognise that what trump is doing is dangerous.

    He has claimed victory. A lot of his supporters will take that at face value. If the coming days, as votes are counted, reveal that Biden wins, a lot of his supporters will wrongly believe the election was stolen.

    That lack of confidence in the results is the kind of thing we see in banana republics. He is being completely irresponsible by peddling that garbage in America. Another example of how he is, was and always will be completely unfit for the office.

    What is two thirds of 500,000? it isn't 250,000. There is still 25% of the vote to count in PA. One county alone has around 400,000 votes to count and it is a heavily blue county. The total left to count is over 1.5 million and there are good reasons to believe the ywill run heavily for Biden.

    Counting all the votes is what normally happens in democracies. It can take days. In some contries it does. Put on your big boy pants, get better at maths and wait for the votes to be counted.

    I'm nervous though.

    I have the feeling that stuff is going on behind the scenes that us poor plebs don't really know about

    Thinking the popular vote is a fairer way to elect the president is not inconsistent with knowing how the system works now. In fact, it is knowing how the system works and thinking there’s a better way.

    Claiming that there has been fraud and that the election has been stolen was one of the most despicable actions by a US President in my lifetime. The saddest thing is tha tthe cult members will lap it up and too many elected GOP officials will cravenly go along with him.

    Hawaii has been called for Biden before a single vote was recorded. Because everyone already knows exactly what the people in Hawaii will do even before they do it. It's the same with all liberals. You already know exactly what they're going to do and say because it's the exact same thing that is being done and said by the people on CNN. Liberals just do whatever Chris Cuomo tells them to do, like wear masks and stay inside, even while Cuomo doesn't stay inside or wear a mask himself. The people of Hawaii have turned their island into a big open-air prison and their economy is in the toilet. Life must be miserable down there. Yet they don't hesitate to embrace more failure, more cowardice, more poverty by voting lockstep for Democrats. Same thing in California. Their Democrat governor is micromanaging their Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays like a dictator and California voters respond by fully embracing Biden's sad, depressing, inhuman presidential campaign, which wants lockdowns and muzzles perpetually for everyone in America.
