    Missed this last night, but apparently someone on CNN had a pornhub tab open on their fancy vote map

    Trump will step aside. He will have his tantrum but ultimately the Republican majority in senate and house won't stand by him.
    Yep, we'll quickly see the rats abandoning ship now, it's all over.

    I have a suspicion Trump will basically disengage from any handover process. Go on a tour of the country to hold rallies and complain about the election being stolen.

    Or step down in a tantrum and walk away, refusing to take part in the process at all, requiring the Senate to fomally remove him from office because they can't get him to sign some essential documents or something.

    Watch all the republican opportunists and sycophants jump a sinking ship now - one would have to seriously question their integrity if it takes until now for them to be critical of Trump, and only out of self-interest. Not many Republicans coming out shining, not many look to have acted on principle

    Bolton wasn't a true believer, he was just hanging around on the off-chance that he got to bomb the daylights out of something.

    Decision Desk just called PA for Biden, and the election. It's not an official call but they generally don't announce unless it's watertight.

    Notably they still haven't called AZ

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    The likes of Trump and the Tories have made being racist and a bigot normal. People aren't afraid to voice these disgusting opinions. I'm hoping this change makes these types of views embarassing for the people uttering them and they crawl back into the gutter. I'm seeing it in Ireland with the anti-masker/Gemma O'Doherty brigade.

    Oh I know, I'm just echoing your point that they're being careful about calling states.

    But Biden is already winning without those.

    Even if they toss the "late arrivals" Biden still leads.

    Those late ones will be the very last block to be counted.

    This article from Jonathan Swann is instructive and explains why Trump et al are so pissed off with Fox.

    If they call PA , it's likely game over for Trump in terms of support.
    A Trump campaign official said the internal view was that it's essential to keep the race "optically" alive, and that if Fox were to call it, it would severely harm their efforts to support President Trump's (false) claims that he'd already won.

    There's also this quote which sums up the "Best People" angle
    A senior administration official said: "When Bush had this issue they tapped arguably the pre-eminent statesman of his generation, James Baker, to spearhead their legal and PR efforts, to great effect.... We rolled out Rudy Giuliani, Corey Lewandowski and Pam Bondi. You can draw your own conclusions."

    Yes - They are being kept separate.

    I think they may not even start to count them until the deadline is up - 5pm this evening local time I think it was?
