As an old lad I went for the 'Epstein never existed' hot take.

Yeah, I think the call has already gone out. While certainly an implausible scenario, these times seem to require considering everything.

Due to Trump's bs narrative, the media are hamstrung now as well into it being provocative to call it because the leads are so small and there are still technically enough ballots out that in the 1/infinity chance that every remaining vote is for Trump he could still win.

Trumpsters will see a race called when Biden is up by the same amount that Trump was recently at, with votes remaining, and their monkey brains won't be able to comprehend why.

The nonzero chance for potentialcivil war means that the media has to do everything in their power to fight the nonsense about this being rigged and bias, which would entail not calling it until the count is so high that only the most braindead of Trumpsters (which is still most of them) can still ignorantly deny the obvious.

Meanwhile for the rest of us, this is such an extreme exercise in delayed gratification that by the time this is all over we'll all be certified edge lords.

He might but I'm sticking with my prediction that it's over for trump beyond increasingly pitiful noises. He wont burn the house down because he can't. Power, friends and money are all ebbing away fast. It's over bar some noise, some feeble legal attempts and, by far the worst, quite possibly some serious violence by a few trumpkins.

He may be able to harm the republican party. Maybe even destroy it like Lloyd George destroyed the liberal party in the UK but <shrug>

Biden's lead in PA now up to almost 17k. It's pretty delicious that agonizing right-wingers had to watch Dear Leader's lead evaporate and ultimately die in a torturous fashion over three days specifically because of intentional choices made by their elected officials for things to be this way.

They could have just counted the absentee ballots early and already known with the first results on E-day that Biden had a big lead, but they preferred to do this to themselves instead! LOL

You could accurately post this forever.

Seriously.

The fact that Trump set this all up himself as a means to try to angle shoot his way to re-election, but instead created a slow roll of his own making will go down as a historic self ownage.

trump slowrolling himself is a fitting end imo

We disagree about trumps continuing power. My guess is that they will humour him while he becomes increasingly irrelevant.

It could be very different if he was younger.

but I agree it's uncertain. I wouldn't bet the house on my take.

What if Trump appeals to the Republican state legislatures of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia and asks them to send republican electors because he was winning those states before they got “rigged by mail vote fraud”? That seems to be what he is laying the groundwork for right now.

Are there dem legislatures in any states Trump won?

lol Monte Goat

Dominion Voting Systems.

You are probably gonna start hearing about them from the Trumpkins.

I hope it doesn’t happen and if it does I hope you’re right, but this article says they could bypass the PA governor, and Trump officials have discussed this possibility already.

SCOTUS mingling in PA? I’m gonna run out of popcorn.

Edit: segregating votes, slow pony. Apologies.

As baseless claims of voter fraud run rampant around the derposphere and the president claims victory in an election he did not win, thank god we have HIV on that wall condemning BOOOOOOOTH SIIIIIIIIDEESSSSSSSSS over *checks notes* a gossipy Vanity Fair article about Trump being miserable lololololololol

SCOTUS finally considering doing their job, namely defending the US Constitution which clearly states each state legislature selects the rules for any election, not the courts or executive fiat.

has there ever been a US president who refused to leave office? is it considered treason if the sitting president refuses to leave white house?

I've done a pretty good job of ignoring you, but you can't even get the point becasue you are stuck in your imagination.


The media lies and perpetuates fear. You are the one bringing up the otherside. I'm only talking about one side, the media.

I read some of your posts. It will not be anywhere near the fan fiction level of stuff you suggest may happen.

I look forward to seeing how you and other Trump riggies go down this path of belief, as that can be potentially entertaining. When things do not go the way you want, which is what will happen, what will be your next line of thinking? You should plan out this in advance so you have some options and make some smooth transitions, plus it will be a lot more fun for the rest of us. I completely understand if you need to wait to be told what narrative to follow, as that is your way. Thanks!

All the best.

idk what you're suggesting I don't get? It's very clear, BOOOOOTH SIIIIIIDESSSSS, right-wing media is spreading dangerous lies about nonexistent voter fraud but also you're triggered by this Vanity Fair headline, and these things are equally important and it's very important to remind everyone about the latter lest they look down too hard on conservative media without equal examination of Vanity Fair headlines. Again, what did I miss, exactly?

Can we just make HIV's undertitle "BOTH SIDES" already so he can just show up and post "hi" in a discussion and everyone will already know what he's trying to say? It would save him a lot of typing and us a lot of reading.

Dude, I'm talking about the media (which includes both right-wing and left wing sources). You are talking about which side is worse. I'm not arguing that. You are not even in the same ballpark as me in what I am talking about. You are making **** up. It's probably why almost everyone else is ignoring you too.

Never in your life have you talked about "the media". You talk about left-wing media, particularly at moments when you feel like people are being harsh on the right and it makes you sad and you need to strike back with some anecdotes about the left so your side doesn't look so bad. It's exactly the same pathetic **** you pulled earlier by linking buildbackbetter.com as evidence of BOOOOOTH SIIIIIIIIDESSSSS because you were sad everyone was dunking on Trump for giving a speech claiming he won the election and people are doing fraud against him! See, Biden has a transition website, how presumptuous of him, BOTH SIDES!

Who do you think is dumb enough to buy this **** that you're just a neutral observer making general media commentary? lmao

Where's the money going?
