NBC just now, “It may be days before we know who the next president is.”

Fucker has been voted out and the media are still too scared to call it what it is.

Sure, there might be a token show of funding such a defense fund, but I’m sure that “Or more” == absolutely everything he can’t figure out a way to keep for himself.

I took one for the team and actually clicked through to the link in one of the many many DJT campaign e-mails I get(stupid simple e-mail address). Here’s the relevant fine print:
“Contributions to TMAGAC made by an Individual/Federal Non-multicandidate Political Committee will be allocated according to the following formula:
60% to DJTP for deposit in DJTP’s 2020 General Election Account for the retirement of general election debt (up to a maximum of $2,800/$5,000) or, if such debt has been retired or any portion of the contribution would exceed the limit to the 2020 General Election Account, for deposit in DJTP’s Recount Account (up to a maximum of $2,800/$5,000); 40% to the RNC’s Operating account (up to a maximum of $35,500/$15,000); and any additional funds to the RNC for deposit in the RNC’s Legal Proceedings account or Headquarters account (up to a maximum of $213,000/$90,000).”
I kind of blame Clark County, NV too.
Having their ballot counters head home at 8pm the last two nights is just idiotic.

I don’t understand their cowardice. It’s in their best interests to see him leave office because if he wins second term he’d use the DoJ to go after journalists who hurt his feelings. This is maddening.
By all accounts past presidents treated the SS like friends and family whereas I’m sure Trump treats them like servants.

Considering how close the numbers are, it kinda makes sense to wait for as close to the full counts as possible.
That respected organisation that made the call earlier simply jumped the gun, IMO. It’s telling it’s still very lonely.
If you want a fair and square election and you want votes to be counted, I don’t see how it’s the responsibility of the networks to call something to soothe their viewers’ nerves.
It’s grating. But Americans “deserve” (harsh, I know) it for voting in the Trump and giving him even more votes 4 years later. This should have been a kick up his big behind.
Kinda hard to be lonely when two networks called Arizona. And one network has called the race.
Can you tell what my anxiety sending-away warm blanket of TV viewing has been lately?
Fair point. Isolated, rather than lonely then.
Here’s the thing.
We know which way Nevada is going to go.
We know which way Pennsylvania is going to go.
You can fully remove Arizona and Georgia from the equation, and Biden is at 280 electoral votes.
I loved this portrait of Cynthia, a black woman in Georgia my age, who worked so hard to get Biden elected. Thank you, Cynthia.

I think they should call it, when the point of no return is reached, meaning, when it is mathematically impossible to catch up. Or is this too far away?
Why hurry? As long as they are counting everything is fine and good.
With proper, skillful edging you never reach the point of no return.
The longer you wait – once the winner is clear, mind you – the longer you give Trump time to undermine and sow doubt about the outcome’s validity.

Officials in Maricopa County expect to release tens of thousands of newly recorded votes around 9 p.m. ET. The remaining votes there will be key to deciding a tight race in Arizona.
