I’ve always thought that while those pasty-white man-babies can be dangerous, most get all gunned up because they’re fundamentally cowards. Bark worse than bite, etc.

I seriously doubt he would even know what you meant if you mentioned Rosebud. I’m sure that all he saw was GRRR! Strong Man! BIGLY SMART!

Presidents can’t pardon state crimes.

That’s called a Hail Mary story. Not the football play, but literally praying over rosary beads because you’ve got nothing earthly left to do but take your ball and go home. The story misses the biggest, most important point: Trump is already behind, and those particular votes haven’t been counted yet because the Trump team got a court to order them SET ASIDE until the case was decided.
Too funny.

Is it really? You mean they know his lead and how many ballots uncounted, and his lead can’t be erased even if all uncounted ballots are Republican? That is good news, if true.
But if you are making a probabilistic argument, something like, so far, 65% (for example) of mail-in ballots have been Biden, and if that proportion holds, he’s won, that’s not quite as persuasive.
Absolutely. Now, if they thought that the Joint Chiefs were willing to legitimize them, they’d be at the White House right now. There’s a reason most coups are birthed in the military; they have the training, weapons and comprise a significant portion of the populace. Without them you’re just good ol’ boys standing around the pickup truck muttering “yep”.

And unless one works for the NY DA or the NJ DA, we don’t know what the severity of those state charges will be.

Exactly. Fox News etc have done a number on them. Facebook hasn’t exactly been innocent either. They honestly think the rest of the world is the crazy ones living in an alternate reality. And once you understand that they think Democrats/liberals/progressives are evil, then even supporting Trump begins to make sense. What wouldn’t you do, who wouldn’t you support, to fight evil? Given the “facts” and assumptions they are working under, they are acting rationally. Calling them stupid or evil is counterproductive since it ends up just reinforcing those same beliefs.
I’ve made progress over the years with them, only to have things like “defund the police” set things back (getting them to understand the name is shorthand for something they actually support is frustrating). Lot’s of people here will happy say “fuck 'em then.” But this is family and I’m to stubborn to give up on them.

@IronEdithKidd: Yes, but the egregious offenses would be the federal crimes. Getting him on state charges is a consolation prize.
However, the NYC DA and NY AG have telegraphed some indication of charges and they are serious.

I’ve got just the website you can share with your fact resistant family: whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com.
It’s day 1386, and they’re still chronicling every bit of the factual fuckery.

Biden is in the lead, and almost all of the remaining (exclusively mail-in) ballots are from Philadelphia, which Biden has been winning by more than an 80/20 split (including the in-person vote!). If that math isn’t clear enough for you, you’re going to have to wait until January 21st for certainty.

I fucking hope so.
By acting like an emperor without clothes, rather than an elected official, 45 pissed off LOTS of other elected officials who will still have power even once he’s out of office.

Oh, look, here comes the Trump Train:
I should be nicer to my Yankee fan acquaintances.
Kind of premature don’t you think? 538 much?
Oh dear lord. bOing bOing ain’t ABC and 538 has never, ever, ever even acted like they were going to call a race. It’s not what they do.
This race is over. I understand everyone being traumatized by trump constantly pulling miracles out of his ass, but he is done. No question remains and all they’re waiting for to call it is margins.

The dumbest protest ever is going on in Detroit right now - red-hatted fools are outside of the TCF center yelling at the building to “stop the count”. The count was completed at about noon yesterday.
