He's probably berating his underlings because none of them have found a media outlet to point to as proof he's already won and that the vote counting should stop....
He’s halfway across the Atlantic by now.

Holy forking shirtballs.

Trump's lead in Georgia has shrunk to just over 100,000 votes. Not long ago it was over 300,000.

Sure seems like all that talk about Biden being a guarantee and having a good effect on down-ballot races looks like an absolutely freezing cold take.

So amazing to see the MSM have to actually report the truth and not opinion media. They are stunned.

She’s lump, she’s lump, she might be dead.

Lump lingers last in line for brains...you know the rest.

Maybe the dems will realize that they can’t pretend to care about being progressive and then put forward 78 yr old white dude Joe Biden.

It’s not over but this should be a wake up call. Again.

NYT needle has Biden back up to 64% in Georgia. I'm kinda stunned.

91% of estimated votes counted so ~400k to count.

Lead is 116k.

Gonna be tight!

It's looking a lot like we're headed for the #### storm that was forecast.

Two elections in a row the Democrats put their faith in the polls instead of into other metrics such as voter enthusiasm. A few of us warned about this in the other thread and were subsequently dogpiled for it.

EDIT: I still think he wins, but this is way closer than it should be.

Georgia looks promising based on outstanding areas.

CNN magic board takes a dump.

Trump lead in NC down to 77,000 votes. Not sure there’s enough left, but getting closer.

Wisconsin is also getting extremely close. 51.0/47.2 with Milwaukee still very much off the board.

A more progressive candidate beats Trump in which states he has won so far?

I’m still holding out hope he’ll show one iota of presidentially during his Address and not say ‘steal’ or ‘win’. But #### knows it’s going to be a tire fire of absolute nonsense.

Just eyeballing the estimated numbers around Atlanta suggests Georgia is definitely within Biden's sights. Margin looks like it will be within 250k votes either way for sure, and if I was a betting man I'd put my money on Biden squeaking it out by 40k or so. Pretty wild either way.

Yeah it's tight. Apparently they have stopped counting for the night with about 300k votes to go. I think some of these states could be in dispute for a few days.

As was mentioned by one of the panelists on CNN a bit earlier, the dems may end up winning this election, but Americans have not delivered the message we were hoping for. That is, sending the republicans a clear message of repudiation and rejection of what Trump brought to the country.

Regardless on how this turns out, if one's only barometer of popularity and the popular vote was network television and "traditional" (such as it is vastly different in 2020) media and chatter from the talking heads/"experts" and celebrities as influencers in the weeks leading up, one would be shocked that Trump will end up with 47% or higher of the popular vote of the citizens in the United States.

Basically 1 out of 2 people in the USA voted for Trump. Highly disproportionate to the "popular culture" sentiment, and not a lot different than 4 years ago when it was "supposed" to be a lot different this time around.

Yeah, Georgia might be interesting. If you look at the bigger counties with large outstanding votes to count, they're pretty much all heavily Biden. You can see it here (scroll down and you can expand the county list that's sorted by percent reported):

The map I'm using doesn't have the county-by-county. Can someone look at the Democrat counties around Atlanta, Macon and Savannah and see how much of that vote is outstanding? That would make a lot of difference as to whether that 118k lead can be made up.

EDIT: MSNBC says that of the outstanding vote it's in the Atlanta area primarily, which makes sense. Looks like we are still waiting for about 20% of Dekalb county which is excellent news. That's 50,000+ net Biden votes right there.
