    There actually is a slowing down.

    Some of these states wanted to get ahead of polling day and count the mail in ones, but were blocked by the republicans. That's why some took even longer. I know that's not what the op meant, but it was a slowing down to engineer the situation we are in now.

    But you won't read that in your pro Trump bubble.. so best dismiss that as fake news or whatever?

    I imagine repeated litigations are slowing it down. Such as the 30k Pittsburgh votes that couldn't be counted yesterday. Changes to the counting halls for more observers, let observers stand slightly closer etc. Will all cause disruption.

    Some people are saying the door is open for Trump to run in 2024 if he wants, doubt he will because he would be 78 by then.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Don Jr threw his hat in the ring in 4 years time though.


    Biden turns 78 in two weeks from today.

    The counts have slowed down because people need to sleep. That isn't a conspiracy.

    Trump won’t be calling him sleepy joe now.lol

    What?

    The mail-in ballots were/are being counted last. Not really surprising that Trump voters didn't favour mail-in after Trump telling them to vote in person. This was always the play. Know you'll take an early lead and try claim victory before counting was finished.

    Counted last because that's the way it was engineered so that they can push this narrative and have a bunch of people (flying monkeys) who can't read a graph add to the echoes of fraud..

    Wake up ffs.

    Biden 1/40. Is it time for the full time whistle and get into the after match debate?

    Me, myself? No, but there is plenty of proof coming from Americans that tried to vote and we're refused, some even Democrats. Now to you, where is the proof the Trump's are "****ting" it from breaking laws?

    From your reply, I'm guessing you don't have any! The Trumps are going nowhere, this will be won through the SCOTUS. And on an off chance it's ruled in Bidens favour. Donald Jr. will be back in 2024. It's wishful thinking they're going to prison. They definitely are not. It's also wishful thinking that they have 60+ million voters behind them and they are going to disappear. A Political Dynasty has started. They will be around for many many Years to come.

    They may even start a new Political Party.

    That would be a gift of epic proportions to the Democrats.

    You could photoshop him into any shot at all from Always Sunny in Philadelphia and no one could tell.

    Yes something dodgy is going on with the counts in GA, PA .... just looking at numbers trajectory is enough to see that ...

    Delusional. I don't know how many times it has to be pointed out but the votes being counted now are are mail-in ballots which Democrats did overwhelmingly. None of the Trumps fans were shouting about voter fraud on Tuesday night when the in-person votes were massively favouring Trump in the early counts - the trajectory was nuts. Funny that.

    It's actually kind of poetic justice to see the mail-in votes that Trump encouraged his supporters to avoid are going to be the difference in the end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,686 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    All I will say is time will tell and Trump is in a better position with the SCOTUS having ACB than if RG was still sitting.

    Except he has no case to take there.

    They also leave the more complicated votes until the end.

    Votes cast on the day, especially electronic votes are easy to count.

    Mail-in votes each have to be cross-checked against the voting records (to ensure that person hasn't already voted elsewhere, like that Republican in Nevada), and other verification checks have to be carried out, for every single one.

    Hence, if 20% of the votes are mail-in or absentee ballots, then the last 20% will take a lot longer to count than the first 80%.

    So is appointing ACB evening the playing field in the Supreme Court or not? Or are just spouting whatever comes into your head?

    No doubt.
    President Donald Trump posted a baffling tweet Tuesday declaring that he has not had a series of "mini-strokes" — and he had the White House physician release a statement backing up his claim.

    "It never ends! Now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes. Never happened to THIS candidate - FAKE NEWS," Trump tweeted.

    The tweet was followed hours later by a statement from White House physician Sean Conley, who said he was speaking out at Trump's request. "I can confirm that President Trump has not experienced nor been evaluated for a cerebrovascular accident (stroke), transient ischemic attack (mini stroke), or any acute cardiovascular emergencies, as have been incorrectly reported in the media," Conley said.

    No major media outlet appears to have reported in recent days that Trump had a series of mini-strokes.

    even more so when you cant even start to process the mail in votes until after the polls have closed.

    There is one thing we can thank Trump for and that is showing the world how fooked up a huge chunk of the US population really is and that includes supposedly pretty educated people right up to the highest public offices in the land.

    The image the US once potrayed on the world stage for the last more than half century has been absolutely blown to bits.

    The moral superiority that they claimed with the oldest democracy in the world is in shreds as the current president acts more like Robert Mugabe than George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F Kennedy who were amongst the most distinguished holders of the office of President of the USA.

    To all the world it looks like the current leader is an unhinged loon.

    One number Trump doesn't seem to give two cr**s about is 122,000.

    That was the number of new confirmed covid cases yesterday of his citizens.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    I think it was the election official in Nevada yesterday who explained the counting process of mail-in ballots. It's a long process with numerous steps and checks but it ensures the integrity of the vote.

    Don't think he would have anywhere near the appeal of Trump Snr.
    Don Jr is a coked-up charisma vacuum

    Much the same things were said about Sr back when he announced he was running, CNN commentators laughed at the idea but the laugh was on them a year later.

    All the Trump campaign are trying to muddy waters with their antics and make sure the court of public opinion think he has been cheated, its his only way of walking away from this with his ego intact - thinking he has been cheated out of win.

    But the reality is he has lots fair and square and the courts which matter will kick his cases out as soon as they came in as already has been evident

    No he loses his power he is very vunerable, his finances are a mess and those who tolerated him when in power will not have a reason to prop him up anymore.

    I can see him still being relevant but he will be close to bankruptcy, so interesting to see his next moves
