its over...and it aint over.
Barr has disappeared for days. Where? I suspect conferring with REAL lawyers (Rudy...pffft! An incompetent clown to throw us off) and Supreme Court justices about... I dunno, but about something that has JUST ENOUGH legal cover to sliiiiiide through a tiny crack we didnt consider.
Kushner is bragging about nobody can go as low as trump. dont even try. And then gives a smile.
I dunno, I feel somethin is brewing. Gut feelings kept me from prison or even serious arrest in my younger wilder days...and my gut keeps telling me to look over my shoulder.

(94,489 posts)Bar is going through the motions to make Trump feel good. The "evidence" hasn't been good enough for a dozen or so Court cases; it's not going to result in a DOJ success.

(128,757 posts)is that PA has a Democratic Governor and the state legislature doesn't have a veto-proof majority, even if you have a couple dozen teabaggers (which is less than 10% of the state House) who are jumping up and down trying to get some media attention.

(1,751 posts)AZ and GA going blue would help I think wed all feel better with extra ECVs just in case the Trump Court awards a Biden state to Trump.
Statistical
(19,264 posts)It just is going to take a while probably another 48 hours.
Biden will be sitting on 306 EV. This isn't like 2000 where they can flip a single state. They need at least three separate states and they need to total 37.

(3,635 posts)AZ only allows a recount if vote is within 200 votes or .01, whichever is less. It won't be that close.

Let them try to keep hope alive awhile. Itll make it easier for them to accept. We did much the same in 2016.

The cops didn't like any of us. I got the occasional pass because my Dad owned a local shot-n-a-beer joint.
Almost royalty... LOL
I'm old now, but still have those instincts, even in a much different environment.

(20,489 posts)Its recognition of the fact that Im not as slimy, underhanded, or evil as trump and whatever group of high end lawyers he may have convinced to work for IOUs and future profits. Its recognition that my brain just dont work that way, so I better keep watching.
LuckyCharms
(17,425 posts)Your point is well taken. Look at all of the posts since Trump was installed that say something along the lines of "He will do ANYTHING". He is a caged animal", etc.
Well, those posts have proven to be true...there is no bottom for him, and there is nothing that he will not try to do to save himself.
So you are not paranoid, and your post has a basis in reality.
That being said, remember that every day that passes by, every day that Biden establishes and strengthens his transition and positions himself as a leader...is a day that Trump becomes weaker and weaker, and less likely to be a problem.
