To me there are also elements of the wellness industry's shtick in Trump. The idea that you are an individual above all else, and that you can be anything you want to be taken to a ludicrous extreme. That you can live in a fantasy world. The corporate idea of shallow, superficial wellness, and appearances, based on dumb, faux profound, vacuous memes and slogans. The idea of feelings and delusion over facts and reality.

Trump's America is like Simpsons' wellness guru Brad Goodman and his "do you what you feel" mantra, come to real life. A retreat into fantasy, a rejection of reality.

"Be best!" springs to mind.

intersting in respect to trumps twitter rants , steve bannon has had his twitter account suspended

Is there any possibility that some of the remaining states, AZ, NV, GA, PA, are dragging their heels in completing their count and a winner being declared.
Will the state that finally gets Biden over the line be subjected to additional lawsuits, recount requests and pain for the electoral staff?

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

Out of proportion too, Alaska superimposed over the lower 48 would be quite massive

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.

Cheers - give him credit for at least showing up

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 see our guy in Maricopa yesterday has packed it in lol.

You could see he was fed up of this whole ordeal late last night!

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.

Not really if PA is declared.

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.

Great if bidan could beat 304 because according to the current president thats a landslide win
