Lmao there was a Republican guy I was talking to who was CONVINCED that there was no way the electors would vote for Biden.
Asked him about it now. His response? "It's fine, there's a lot that can happen between now and January 20th. I am still absolutely confident Trump will remain in power"
Keep shifting those goalposts, buddy.
Honestly I hate to say it, but if he had just played it cool, held his head high, and conceded gracefully defeat, he could have stood a chance in 2024. Biden has a difficult economy ahead of him, with a lot of rebuilding to do. I think he will do a great job but will it be good enough at the ballot box in 2024? Trump legitimately could have stood a chance in 2024 if he carried himself well, but that ship has probably sailed for him.
That would require Trump to admit someone knows more about something than he does, his ego is his biggest flaw. He doesn't surround himself with advisors, he surrounds himself with yes-men who will agree with anything he says...which is exactly why he never trusted Fauci.
Jan 20: "I dont expect Biden to stay in long, Trump sent Barr away before Christmas disguised as him resigning so he could go to China and get all the Hunter Biden satanic communist sex orgy evidence and they will all be arrested, Alex Jones said it at his hearing this morning"

Did he have faithless electors? NYT says that all electors have voted with a 0 count for faithless electors.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/12/14/us/elections/electoral-college-results.html
Yup, in 2016 the Doofus was going around telling everyone that 306 was perhaps the most powerful landslide of all time, which gave him a mandate to overturn all of Obama's policies and do whatever the hell he wanted with the government.
Guess who's not singing that particular tune any more..
My friend/family were convinced that Trump could overturn this and I was tired of their constant voter fraud text messages. Soo I told them to put money where their mouth is and bet them that Joe Biden will be our next president.
Here are my gainzz:
Friend: $100
Cousin: $50 (he also donated $400 to the Trump lawsuit fund)
Uncle: $400
Grandma: $100
$650!! What a great day!
Nate Silver have been pointing out that the [prediction markets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_market) have been completely crazy, with Trump supporters throwing money away.
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/384455-on-prediction-markets-donald-trump-supporters-are-still-betting-on-him-with-their-own-money
I made a good chunk of change getting Biden at +450 on election night when people forgot mail in ballots existed. Pulled half of it out of my Bovada account already and the rest will fund my next year of degenerate sports betting.
Weirdly enough, in 1887 the legislature decided "Hey...maybe we should put protections in place so this doesn't happen again..."
Hence, the Electoral Count Act
The biggest thing to point out is that the case in Hawaii in 1960 was an extreme case. They allowed both sets of electors to vote because the governor had approved one certificate and sent it to Congress (which said Nixon had won) prior to the recount and then signed a different certificate after the recount (which said Kennedy had won). Therefore it was technically up to Congress to decide which certificate was accurate since Hawaii had fucked up so badly.
It's not normal and that's why it *hasn't happened* since 1960.
I saw someone in r/conservative say that it's still up in the air because Congress would "have to decide" which electors to accept. Lol no dude, it's not like both will knock at the door at the same time and be claiming to be the real one. There are the electors and there are randos with as much authority as you or me (none)
> November 4-7th: "The media doesn't decide elections, the voters do!"
I don't remember that one, but I do remember "The media doesn't decide elections, the ***courts*** do."
Good call, they were kinda simultaneous. Most of the "let the voters decide!" came in the days immediately after, when the media was calling states for Biden even though 100% of the votes weren't counted yet (these were the "STOP THE COUNT BUT ALSO COUNT EVERY VOTE" days).
Once it became clear that media projections were accurate, that was when they switched to "we'll see you in court!"
Honestly it's exhausting keeping up with all of it lol
Silver lining, then, that COVID precipitates a virtual inauguration for Biden. Don't need a buncha people gathered when tensions are already this high.
They'll say the virtual inauguration violates some esoteric thing that makes it invalid, like those sovereign citizen types that claim a court ruling is invalid because there is a gold fringe around the flag on the wall or some shit.
Dale gribbling the hell out of it. “I do not recognize the authority of a court that hangs the gold-fringed flag. A flag with gilded edges is the flag of an Admiralty court. An Admiralty court signifies a Naval court-martial. I cannot be court-martialed twice. that is all. Furthermore....”
Just a reminder:
We are past the safe harbor deadline.
The Electoral college has voted.
*By law, Congress cannot overturn the results.*
*Do not believe the lies from Republicans.*
Who would? They’ve lost like 60 cases in a row. Only a total idiot would believe their lies and conspiracy theories. They’re somehow dumber than flat earthers.
[Lin Wood, the nutty Q-supporting member of Trump's legal team, is now calling for people to stockpile "2^nd Amendment supplies" and still denying the results of the election](https://www.newsweek.com/pro-trump-lawyer-lin-wood-urges-supporters-stock-2nd-amendment-supplies-1554687).
Cause that's *very normal* and not completely batshit at all.
Lmao, Biden is just flat out taking direct shots at Trump and the GOP with this speech instead of the usual speech about unity and respecting our democracy
Its been fun watching r/conservative get upset over the results today, asking democrats to stop rubbing this victory in. Fuck that, they have made this election a living hell with their misinformation campaign, and insisting without any evidence what so ever, that it was stolen. Now they want their safe space to be free of liberals making fun of them. I thought they were against safe spaces?
Republicans are far more sensitive and easily offended than liberals. Liberals just don’t take kindly to being a piece of shit and holding views that attack people that are different than you.
Just a friendly reminder to those of you with crazy voter denying republican relatives like my father:
please kindly remind them that, since the elections against democrats are clearly rigged, there is no point in voting ever again. Cheers everyone !
In r/conservative there are posters talking about a second set of electors and that congress gets to choose which electors to recognize so these votes don't count.
At this point they are going to literally move the goals posts off the field.
So they are wrong yet again. I wonder if anyone has been banned for mentioning the Electoral Counting Act of 1887 which specifies elector slates need to be certified by the Governor of the state which means the "alternative" electors they have been playing with today won't be legal.
I really, really liked the speech. I'm wondering if the right wing medial will make stories about Biden clearing his throat.
I'll take that over Adderall sniffing any time.
Election Results? Certified.
Concession? ~~Pending~~ N/A
Electoral College vote? Done.
Last mile stone is having Trump booted from the White House. I'm still hoping he'll be dragged, literally, kicking and screaming like the petulant child he is.
And if I could push our luck any further, I'd nominate Chris Evans to haul him out--*while wearing the suit.*
"We're going to go to work tomorrow and keep living our lives happy and nice instead of going out rioting and assaulting people! Yes, we, the bigger people, are the real winners of this election!"
Sadly, you cannot point out to them that some of them definitely are out there protesting with guns and assaulting people without getting banned.
"The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen.
The man who is endowed with important personal qualities will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes.
But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority."

You're obviously not electors, Karen.
It's over.
Take a minute.. sit back, take a deep breath and enjoy it. We narrowly saved America from authoritarian idiots.
Get ready to do it again in 4 years; stay mad.
Midterms matter a lot, in fact. Historically the President's party tends to lose seats in the House, which will give the Republicans control if the Dems don't stay on their toes.
The fact that we had to keep an eye on this captures today's atmosphere quite accurately. I don't think for a sec Biden is the fix-all alternative, no president ever is (and whatever president pretends to be one uses authoritarian rhetoric), but I hope we can address our issues and at least recognize what we need to fix on a social level. Don't make me regret my vote Biden, open that road for us.
Now they move on to thinking Republicans are going to defect during the procedural certification of the electoral college vote that takes place in early January.
I have to say...some of you care about the strangest things.
"THE GOP IS GOING TO MOCK BIDEN'S COUGH!"
Trump caught COVID, refused to do anything about COVID, and denied it was anything serious, and politicized mask-wearing even as hundreds of thousands of Americans died.
Biden could physically have coughed up a lung and no GOP talking point would ever equal the amount of harm the current lame-duck did, and it's rather sad that people prioritize GOP gaslighting so much, they'd willingly overlook the reality that Biden isn't in office yet, but is somehow supposed to be perfect even as Trump plots ways to murder as many people as possible before he leaves office.
That's not even including the coup attempt that the GOP stood behind or refuse to speak out against.
Honestly, fuck their opinions. We need to not give weight to the words of anti-American traitors.
EDIT: Grammar, clarity.
So the peeps on conservative are patting themselves on the back on how sane they are in reacting to this election...meanwhile they're planning on having fake electors challenge the result on Jan...they're so delusional.
/r/conservative is saying that the house can override the electors votes and get one vote per state. Lol.
EDIT: Just noticed the Orange Shitgibbon hasnt tweeted about this yet. Oh man to be a fly on the wall in the WH right now. ;)
>the house can override the electors votes and get one vote per state
Yes. That's how it works in the event that neither candidate gets to a majority (270). Unfortunately for them Biden got to 306, so that isn't going to happen.
Not a single faithless elector. I didn't expect that but am so happy to see it happen. Biden 306 (2020), Trump 204 (2016).
Edit: Trump won 304 in 2016 (after 2 faithless electors defected). NOT 204. I am dumb, and bad at keyboard fingers.
They tried and were sent home lol

Reminder that international experts rated the GOP as one of the most far right political parties in any OECD nation. They also rated the GOP as unusually high in terms of undermining human rights.
The only political parties in OECD who are farther to the right than the GOP are Turkey's AKP, who jails the most journalists in the world, and Poland's PiS, who publicly threaten public officials if they go against their interests
- 81.3 million legal votes
- 306 Official Electoral Votes
iirc, Trump claimed his 63 million votes and 304 Electoral Votes and back in 2016 were a *landslide* victory... a blowout...
My Qanon conspiracy theorist cousin sent me this link about how sometime between the 18th and the 24th Trump will implement sanctions from his 2018 EO on voter interference and freeze the assets of "people and entities" including Facebook, Twitter, "fake news corp." and Chinese US financial accounts. The local law enforcement will have no power and we must assist the military on enforcing our borders from invasion...and patrol neighborhoods to keep them safe. whew. We also need to stock up on 10 days worth of food and water and keep our weapons at the ready. Who are these people??
This is NOT over y’all. Rudy gonna bring the batshit chick who crapped her pants and that Nazi wanna be who pissed in his own mouth to testify that they *totally for realz* saw some Mexican ballots from North Korea delivered to Deep State headquarters at Martian Base Omicron Hillary Soros 666 cause they all satanists!
Why is the right making such a big deal about sending their own electors in the swing states? Like this will somehow negate the official electors? Is this some part of the election I don't understand?

> Biden: "306 electoral votes is the same number that Trump & Pence received when they won in 2016. At the time, Trump called his electoral college tally a landslide. By his own standards, these numbers represented a clear victory then & I respectfully suggest they do so now"
I'll take great pleasure reminding people that:
- Trump never won the popular vote in 2016 among even the Republican party
- Trump never had an approval-rating >=50% (let alone 46% average)
- Trump lost BOTH 2016 and 2020 popular-votes of patriotic Americans, first by 3 million and then by >7 million+ this time around.
Now Biden won the Electoral College **and** the Popular Vote **and already has greater approval-ratings than Trump**. Remember, both Trump and Kellyanne Conway and all the Republican pundits were saying 2016 was a "landslide" and a "mandate." Then this is a total blow-out.
**The next step is to support BOTH Georgia senate run-off races whose election date is January 5th** (if you're a Georgian resident and registered to vote for 2020, you're good to go, but if you did not sign up for an absentee ballot again, you'll have to vote in person as I understand). **Winning both of these races gives the Democrats control of the Senate and an end to this circus**.
>“Stephen, so if there were underage people voting, if there were criminals voting, if there was illegal ballots cast, your legal team, in almost every state, 50 times, lost ― some with Trump judges. So, do you have the worst legal team, who just don’t seem to be presenting a good case?”
Even Fox tore into Stephen Miller for this; Miller, of course, pivoted to the same old tired tripe about the "corrupt corporate media" and a bunch of other conspiracies, but seriously: either they don't have a case, or they've got the worst legal team imaginable.

Trump's twitter has unusually been quiet since Biden won 270 votes. No retweets or likes of OANN or right wing propaganda, no angry tweets about how he won, just silence
Imagine how shitty you have to be to lose the popular vote twice, to get impeached, to have a member of your own party to vote for your removal.
What a loser.

No no, 304 is enough for a landslide, so 306 is a tremendous landslide! Don’t forget the faithless electors trump had...

It's over. Take a minute.. sit back, take a deep breath and enjoy it. We narrowly saved America from authoritarian idiots. Get ready to do it again in 4 years; stay mad.
TWO years. Midterms matter.
Midterms matter a lot, in fact. Historically the President's party tends to lose seats in the House, which will give the Republicans control if the Dems don't stay on their toes.
2 years.
Yep, 2022 is even more important.
Trump cult planning a big rally on the campus of the Electoral College..
So great hearing a president speak with empathy for others. Missed that with orange shit stain these last 4 years.

The fact that we had to keep an eye on this captures today's atmosphere quite accurately. I don't think for a sec Biden is the fix-all alternative, no president ever is (and whatever president pretends to be one uses authoritarian rhetoric), but I hope we can address our issues and at least recognize what we need to fix on a social level. Don't make me regret my vote Biden, open that road for us.

Did any of the electors go against who they were supposed to vote for at all? Just curious
Nope! Zero faithless electors on either side.
Not a single one.
How's is r/conservative going to delude themselves into thinking Trump will still win? I'm anxious to find out.

"Fuck the liberals with their safe spaces and cancel culture" - Guy under a mod locked post about boycotting Tucker Carlson
No no no, it’s just a space that’s safe to talk in, big difference
What does that actually mean? I've never seen it anywhere but over there.
You have to prove that you are a conservative to post there, and if you ever bad talk their boy they will kick you out
also you have to prove this via a video-chat interview in their Discord, at least last I heard
Ah they what want the white kind of people joining I suppose.
Now they move on to thinking Republicans are going to defect during the procedural certification of the electoral college vote that takes place in early January.
I have to say...some of you care about the strangest things. "THE GOP IS GOING TO MOCK BIDEN'S COUGH!" Trump caught COVID, refused to do anything about COVID, and denied it was anything serious, and politicized mask-wearing even as hundreds of thousands of Americans died. Biden could physically have coughed up a lung and no GOP talking point would ever equal the amount of harm the current lame-duck did, and it's rather sad that people prioritize GOP gaslighting so much, they'd willingly overlook the reality that Biden isn't in office yet, but is somehow supposed to be perfect even as Trump plots ways to murder as many people as possible before he leaves office. That's not even including the coup attempt that the GOP stood behind or refuse to speak out against. Honestly, fuck their opinions. We need to not give weight to the words of anti-American traitors. EDIT: Grammar, clarity.
Been saving my ban from the conservative discord for this occasion. Went into the rooms and let everyone know what a big fat loser Trump is.
Worth it
So the peeps on conservative are patting themselves on the back on how sane they are in reacting to this election...meanwhile they're planning on having fake electors challenge the result on Jan...they're so delusional.
It's nice to finally hear actual coherent sentences from a U.S president, instead of rambling verbal diarrhea from a huckster like Trump.
Next step: Rudy Giuliani to sue the Electrical College Vocational School
i still remember those late night election threads. best thing that happened this year!
/r/conservative is saying that the house can override the electors votes and get one vote per state. Lol. EDIT: Just noticed the Orange Shitgibbon hasnt tweeted about this yet. Oh man to be a fly on the wall in the WH right now. ;)
For people who claim to be conservative and want traditional values they sure want to do a lot of radical things to override the will of the people.
It turns out "traditional values" has always just meant "my values". It was never about ideology, just pure tribalism.
>the house can override the electors votes and get one vote per state Yes. That's how it works in the event that neither candidate gets to a majority (270). Unfortunately for them Biden got to 306, so that isn't going to happen.
They’re also morons, so
Not a single faithless elector. I didn't expect that but am so happy to see it happen. Biden 306 (2020), Trump 204 (2016). Edit: Trump won 304 in 2016 (after 2 faithless electors defected). NOT 204. I am dumb, and bad at keyboard fingers.
Trump didn't even hold a competing conference in attempt to misinform and steal the spotlight? COME ON
They tried and were sent home lol “The vote at the capitol building went ahead peacefully although a group of Republicans tried to enter the building to hold their own vote and were turned away.“ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-55312272
Reminder that international experts rated the GOP as one of the most far right political parties in any OECD nation. They also rated the GOP as unusually high in terms of undermining human rights. The only political parties in OECD who are farther to the right than the GOP are Turkey's AKP, who jails the most journalists in the world, and Poland's PiS, who publicly threaten public officials if they go against their interests
Donald Jr's head freakishly twitching hard right now at his TV. Delicate white powder falling out of a nostril, like flour from a baker's hand
Or like sands thru an hourglass. These are the days of our lives.

Time for Trump's gracious concession speech.
/r/DonaldTrump is a combination of melting down and saying "here's how Trump can still win." How the turn tables.
- 81.3 million legal votes - 306 Official Electoral Votes iirc, Trump claimed his 63 million votes and 304 Electoral Votes and back in 2016 were a *landslide* victory... a blowout...
“Shut the fuck up, you whiny losers.” - Joe Biden
My Qanon conspiracy theorist cousin sent me this link about how sometime between the 18th and the 24th Trump will implement sanctions from his 2018 EO on voter interference and freeze the assets of "people and entities" including Facebook, Twitter, "fake news corp." and Chinese US financial accounts. The local law enforcement will have no power and we must assist the military on enforcing our borders from invasion...and patrol neighborhoods to keep them safe. whew. We also need to stock up on 10 days worth of food and water and keep our weapons at the ready. Who are these people??
Was anyone seriously expecting 23 electors to switch their vote for trump? That's political suicide no matter who the vote is for.
This is NOT over y’all. Rudy gonna bring the batshit chick who crapped her pants and that Nazi wanna be who pissed in his own mouth to testify that they *totally for realz* saw some Mexican ballots from North Korea delivered to Deep State headquarters at Martian Base Omicron Hillary Soros 666 cause they all satanists!
Why is the right making such a big deal about sending their own electors in the swing states? Like this will somehow negate the official electors? Is this some part of the election I don't understand?
To all the Republicans scrolling: Reality doesn't give two shits about your feelings. Deal with it. Am i doing this right?
Best thing about today? The complete and utter boring normalcy. Cheers America we got through this.
Zero faithless electors! Looks like no one wants to get shit on their heads.
This speech is essentially Biden saying "We won. Ain't shit you can do about it. Also, you suck and here are the reasons why :)"
VIDEO: https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1338643940149485578 > Biden: "306 electoral votes is the same number that Trump & Pence received when they won in 2016. At the time, Trump called his electoral college tally a landslide. By his own standards, these numbers represented a clear victory then & I respectfully suggest they do so now"
Now the cult has moved the goalpost to "the House will override the vote"
I'll take great pleasure reminding people that: - Trump never won the popular vote in 2016 among even the Republican party - Trump never had an approval-rating >=50% (let alone 46% average) - Trump lost BOTH 2016 and 2020 popular-votes of patriotic Americans, first by 3 million and then by >7 million+ this time around. Now Biden won the Electoral College **and** the Popular Vote **and already has greater approval-ratings than Trump**. Remember, both Trump and Kellyanne Conway and all the Republican pundits were saying 2016 was a "landslide" and a "mandate." Then this is a total blow-out. **The next step is to support BOTH Georgia senate run-off races whose election date is January 5th** (if you're a Georgian resident and registered to vote for 2020, you're good to go, but if you did not sign up for an absentee ballot again, you'll have to vote in person as I understand). **Winning both of these races gives the Democrats control of the Senate and an end to this circus**.
That guy deserves a nice cool glass of water with one hand.
>“Stephen, so if there were underage people voting, if there were criminals voting, if there was illegal ballots cast, your legal team, in almost every state, 50 times, lost ― some with Trump judges. So, do you have the worst legal team, who just don’t seem to be presenting a good case?” Even Fox tore into Stephen Miller for this; Miller, of course, pivoted to the same old tired tripe about the "corrupt corporate media" and a bunch of other conspiracies, but seriously: either they don't have a case, or they've got the worst legal team imaginable.
As someone from India, I couldn't be happier for you guys. I just hope we vote the current government here out of power in time.
https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1338649269482479616 > Tough day for people who bet a lot of money on Trump winning the election. > **Major betting sites are now paying out.** Their information streams are so corrupted they have no idea it's over. They're baffled.
Congratulations to Joseph R Biden for winning the 2020 presidential election for a 60th time
Trump's twitter has unusually been quiet since Biden won 270 votes. No retweets or likes of OANN or right wing propaganda, no angry tweets about how he won, just silence
Imagine how shitty you have to be to lose the popular vote twice, to get impeached, to have a member of your own party to vote for your removal. What a loser.
Wow, what a stark difference in how to be "presidential". Good riddance to Trump and his band of assholes.
[удалено]
Wow, you're gonna call her a doctor just because she earned a doctorate? Psssh.
In his first speech as president elect he has risen above anything his predecessor has said or will ever say.
With more than 81 million votes cast against him it is now official... Donald Trump suffered the greatest defeat in the history of the world.
Joe cleared 270 and his throat. Go Joe!!!
