Well I will either give you the fries or I won't - depending on what you want.

Frankly, I find observing people piously taking sides on the issue to be fascinating - much more fascinating than discussing my own little single opinion on the matter.

Sir, can you please let me know what you want? We have other customers waiting.

Openly admitting you're willing to look the other way for someone with racist inclinations is something Trump supporters with half brain I've found do their best to avoid.

"I'm pretty sure he was joking"
"That was exaggerated by the media"
"He's no better or worse than so and so on the other side"

All poor deflections. Which makes you wonder if they would also protect a friend or colleague that happened to exhibit similar behaviors because they have other traits that are admired or useful.

But, see.... What you allow, you invite more of.
So what else are these folks opening the door for by brushing these things under the rug.

IMO many of the things Donald has said over the past 4 years- sarcastic OR not - have no place in politics or government. Its not acceptable conduct for someone speaking for a large and diverse population. He speaks for people in his corner, while not being inclusive or respectful of the rest of the population, and that much is clear. And it is a huge problem. His alienation of the 75 million that didn't vote for him was earned through how he conducted himself, not through his political allegiances.

Does that 25,000 include getting arrested yourself for reporting false information?

Fer christ sakes, you guys. Please stop feeding the troll.

Getting back on topic, here's where things currently stand. Biden's lead in GA has increased significantly since yesterday.

PA's numbers haven't budged much over the last couple of days, as they seem to be taking forever to finish counting, and Trump's multiple lawsuits are likely tying things up.

Trump continues to chip away at Biden's lead in AZ, but I'm guessing not enough to flip it back to red when all is said and done.

So when can they finally call these states for Biden? With the exception of maybe AZ, these leads seem pretty safe at this point, no? And you have to think Biden's lead in GA is gradually climbing out of recount range.

PA: 45,673
GA: 14,149
AZ: 13,764

PA has been called. That's what called the election.

GA,AZ are within recount range I think, so probably won't call those until certified.

Horrifyingly, Trump still stands a real chance of hanging onto power well beyond January 20. Van Jones explains (16 minute video):

I think wp polling of republican voters showed that only a few small percentage believed Trump was racist.

Also... Millions of non whites voted for Trump. Are they racist?

Yea, I know. I just figured some folks would want to see where the numbers currently stand in that state, since the majority of the GOP's lawsuits and fraud allegations are concentrated in PA.

That is some seriously scary s***. And yet with the current monster in the WH and his slimy, reprehensible enablers, this type of doomsday scenario seems totally plausible right now.

GA is in recount numbers anything .5 or more is non recount, and currently I believe its a .2 difference.

AZ isnt in recount territory and probably wont be for Trump or Biden whoever wins. Recount is for a 200 vote lead or less.

It doesn’t appear that there’s any races remotely close enough where a recount could conceivably change the result.

Even if the late-arriving votes get thrown out in PA, it won't make a difference.

GA auto-recount is within 0.5%. That one still seems likely but unlikely that enough votes could be excluded at this point (edit: noted above).

AZ auto-recount is within 0.1%. That’s looking increasingly unlikely given how the gap closing has slowed.
