    Biden turns 78 in two weeks from today.

    And is arguably in better physical shape as well compared to the younger man..

    Georgia's got the Blues. Bidens 900 ahead.

    They may even start a new Political Party.

    The Democrats are praying for a Trump Party.

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

    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%.

    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.

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

    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.

    Oh yeah, that too..
    But hey, devious pesky dems..

    Four legs good is what they tell us to say..

    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.

    I dont remember donald being described as a charisma vacuum? who said that about him?

    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
