All that being said, I am so done with this. I don't really care anymore. Biden won the Presidency, and that gives every Democrat in the nation a reason to celebrate. But they also lost seats in the house and failed to win the Senate, which gives every Republican in the country something to celebrate. The same judges issuing stays against Trump's EOs now have counterparts who feel they can do the same to Biden's EOs.

I thought the state supreme court weighed in on this and approved of the method. What is it? Any ballot post marked by election day?
Indeed. But SCOTUS already ruled 4-4 on it, and while they declined to take it up again last week due to lack of time to render a decision, they asked the state to segregate the ballots that arrive after November 3rd so they can possibly take it up again. No one can say for certain that they will or won't, but if the election were to be decided by those ballots (and our AG who called the state for Biden early Tuesday coincidentally just jumped ahead in the results this morning due to those ballots) you could certainly argue SCOTUS has an obligation to rule definitively. You could argue the opposite of course, but what you argue depends greatly on where you stand to benefit. Now that GA is almost done and Biden is behind by less than half a point, I'm expecting his campaign to file suit in GA as well.

Trump is suing everywhere now...he's suing Nevada...and I'm sure he'll sue in Georgia and North Carolina soon...as those margins are tightening.
Does he really think this is how he's going to win?
He has every right to sue where states questionably altered the election rules to favor Democrats. Pa being the prime example. You may personally agree with changing the deadline, but you have to recognize the legal dilemma of allowing governors to act unilaterally. If the law said ballots can be counted for a week after the election and a Republican Governor said “nope! I declare the cutoff the day before”, you’d be demanding a court case too. It works both ways.

Now on Grant Street. Leaders of this small splinter group are holding a banner reading “Don’t vote. Fight for revolution.” One protester just spray-painted the City-County building. https://t.co/G0XnZpBI3H

This is what happens when we allow vandalism and destruction of public property to be celebrated. The antifa types aren’t going away now that Trump is gone. They defaced the congressional offices of the Democratic candidate earlier in the week.

Democrats are actually going to lose seats in the house, but still keep their majority. Does Pelosi survive the coming challenge now that the GOP picked up some of the more moderate democratic seats?

Peters now leads James with .1% in Michigan. GOP may be kept to just 52 seats.

I wish I knew how to quite you, Nate.
I'm a little surprised no one has called MI, given that the Wayne votes will be Democratic, it's quite obvious that the Kent, MI votes will be Democratic (even though Trump leads the tabulated count so far there), and there's extraneous vote in D areas (Kalamazoo/Genesee) too

CNN just called Michigan for Biden.

This is despicable. If Trump doesn't condemn this immediately he has no credibility when he condemns antifa rioting.

Ivanka may run in 2024 in an attempt to cash in on Trumpism but I think it's over if Biden takes this.
Not sure how the country is going to react to no more 24/7 Trump.
It'll be weird.
No Trump will ever be allowed into the GOP again. Don't get me wrong, Trump has done wonders to steal the blue collar base from the Democrats, but the man and his family are pure toxicity. Chelsea Clinton wouldn't fair well either. Sean Parnell just ousted Democrat Connor Lamb in Pittsburgh. Look for him to be a rising start in the GOP - late 30s and a decorated combat veteran who lead a company of men in Afghanistan. Veterans like me are getting really tired of these reservists who served as lawyers and spent 4 months at a Hilton pretending to be John Rambo.
Who the hell is this guy?
Maybe you should actually try to understand my arguments rather than assuming I'm the Trump loving sycophant I've told you for 4 years I'm not.
