So who's buying a gun for the civil war that breaks out tomorrow?

Not happening. We were told violence and disturbances would only come if Trump won.

Clayton County has been cranking out 85% for Biden. Biden could be ahead by at least a few thousand later tonight. Come through John Lewis. Cue the Louis Armstrong and Ray Charles.

Yep. That and now we can stop watching the election since Trump won all the "legal" votes.

Now that the anarchists have taken over so many of our American cities, I'm sure the president will send in the secret military police to throw the rioters into unmarked vans.

Oh wait ... these anarchists are white "patriots." Never mind.

Stacey Abrams had the 2018 Georgia Governor race stolen from her by the current Georgia Governor's voter suppression.

What did she do next?

Abrams then founded "Fair Fight" raising $32 million and registering 800,000 new voters.

In Portland they’re the same far left groups that were rioting all summer. Last night it was “f—k Trump, f—k Biden” being chanted while a Catholic Church was trashed. The violence had been planned and promoted for a week regardless of who won.

As a tease, Clayton County GA dropped 129 votes just now. 117 were for Biden.

The bigger one coming shortly.

Biden is now ahead in Georgia by 1,096 votes.

Biden is closing in Pennsylvania and there are far more than enough ballots left in Philadelphia alone to cover the gap.

Biden almost certain to hold on in Nevada based on where the remaining votes are, they plan to have them all counted by February.

Biden will likely hold Arizona, but with Georgia and Pennsylvania both going blue, he doesn't need it anymore.

Of course, the political wheel will still turn as all eyes shift to the two Georgia Senate run-offs.

Georgia, with its Republican governor, Republican secretary of state (who is in charge of the election) and Republican voting system implementation manager, is obviously trying to steal the election for Democrats. I mean, duh.

There are more important things to do right now, but when it's all said and done, numerous hard-working election and state officials in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin should file slander lawsuits against Citizen Trump and the Trump puppets who have publicly impugned their integrity.

Truly a disgusting performance by a small, hate-filled, desperate bully who is losing his lunch money to a 593-year-old man.

Here's some interesting stuff from the NYT on all the lawsuits Trump has filed or will file ...

The Trump campaign and its allies have filed so many election challenges that it requires litigation trackers. This litany of lawsuits is typical of the president’s strategy in his business career — make claims and see what sticks — but it’s unlikely to clinch the election, legal experts say. However, it may serve other purposes.

“‘Sue everyone all the time’ is not going to get him anywhere” in stopping vote counts, Garrett Epps, a constitutional law scholar at the University of Baltimore, told DealBook. Mr. Trump was famously litigious in business, but as president he’s been “better at getting into court than performing,” he said. Republican lawyers have noted flaws in the approach. “You need a legal violation to go to court. It depends on state law and on the facts,” the former White House counsel Don McGahn said this week after the president invoked the Supreme Court in a tweet.

The big picture: Lawsuits matter only if the vote margins are very thin and there’s fraud or procedural problems; so far, these haven’t been issues, said Josh Blackman of the South Texas College of Law. Yesterday, judges in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia resisted requests to stop counts, saying they found no threats to election integrity. But Mr. Trump has regularly used legal complaints to buy time, so Mr. Blackman posits that he is “hoping something breaks,” which would allow for more cases. This isn’t likely, given “the number of eyeballs” on the process, he added.

What about the Supreme Court? The president asked to intervene in a case about a ballot count extension in Pennsylvania that state Republicans twice requested the justices review, unsuccessfully. Mr. Blackman believes that the top court probably won’t agree to hear the case now, either, unless the vote count is so close that a decision is critical to certifying Pennsylvania’s winner. “They don’t unnecessarily decide difficult constitutional questions,” he said. Mr. Epps said the justices “have to think about their legacy and reputation,” especially the newest member of the court, confirmed quickly ahead of the election. “If I were Amy Coney Barrett, I would not want my 40 years to start with this case,” he said.

What happens next? The lawsuits can be effective for Mr. Trump without succeeding or being valid, Mr. Epps added, simply by showing that he’s fighting, providing fund-raising motivation and cultivating a narrative of unfair treatment. This could serve him well should the votes ultimately go against him and he moves on to lead a media empire or act as a Republican kingmaker (or candidate) in 2024.


I thought the comment about Barrett, which I bolded, was especially interesting and rings true.

Andrew Yang speaks the truth about the disconnect between Democrats and the working class. Worth watching the full clip, if you're interested.

"In there minds the Democratic party unfortunately has taken on this role of the coastal urban elites who are more concerned about policing various cultural issues than improving their way of life."

Yeah, its all over but the cryin'.  Hopefully momentum can be held through January for those two GA senate races.  They're essential.

She should run the DNC. She should also continue pushing for paper ballots nationwide.

IMHO, it's important for the national psyche that Biden win Georgia. Win a state whose election officials and governor are Republican, and win Nevada as expected to get to 275, and then Pennsylvania doesn't really "matter" in the outcome.

That wouldn't stop Trump from whining and litigating, but it would render his baseless claims meaningless.

As for the Senate races, I have trouble believing that Dems will get out the vote with Trump not on the ballot. That sucks, but I think history has shown that to be true.
