    Trump could well have his own account suspended in January - that would be nice!

    Well that doesn’t allow for the fact that the closer to the poles you get the more distorted the size of land is on flat screens or paper. It’s not that big nor are places like Greenland as big as we think.

    Seems like a fake story apparently he doesn't tweet at all and this story does the rounds every so often

    He never had any tweets to delete. This comes up time and time again that he allegedly deleted tweets.

    This is excellent.

    Andrew Bates, the director of rapid response for Joe Biden’s campaign, was asked about reports that Donald Trump does not intend to concede if he is declared the loser in the presidential race.

    “As we said on July 19th, the American people will decide this election,” Bates said. “And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.

    the question being why it wasn't done in 2011 and what was different given the birther stuff.

    That's the entire point of that website, to remove the distortion.

    Recount set to go ahead in Georgia.

    Still potentially over 8,000 military votes yet to be included in the count which are likely to favour Trump.

    I wish they would call it. It’s like they’ve taken the annoying pause at the decision time in reality TV shows and applied it to the election.

    I could see more and more communities doing this, which will make a very stark contrast between those refusing to accept the result.

    Biden supporters dancing in the Streets.
    Trump supporters yelling outside counting centres.

    And do you know what, I'm going to do a little dancing myself.

    Once his numbers in PN go past about 10k no recount will make a difference so I bet he will announce then.

    No. Biden doesn't need GA with PA. PA was the only must win state for Trump.

    Should be by end of today (for final numbers) they said, which is 5am our time, although last we heard they're ahead of schedule.

    Biden's margin of victory there is expected to exceed 50,000, and that's a conservative number.

    I don't think Biden will announce anything for a good while yet.

    Him claiming victory would only be grist to the Trump mill. He be screaming "See.. Told you they are stealing it!!!"

    Just keep saying - "America will decide and I'm confident that I will win."

    Perhaps, but he is certainly not going to announce based on 1,000 votes in Georgia, it will based on Pennslyvania.

    Which is apt, as its his home state.

    In any ordinary election, the loser would have called the winner by now and conceded. It's clear that Trump is not going to concede, so Biden is in the predicament where he probably has to wait until it's mathematically impossible for Trump to win.

    Going back to the two Georgia senate seats, I don't see them flipping for two reaosns.
    1) You no longer have the "anti-Trump" incentive to get folks to the polls in the first place, and 2) If you look at how the extra votes split out, the two Republican candidates between them got over 55% of one election, and the Libertarian was the spoiler with over 2% of the other election, they are unlikely to vote Democrat.
