And in Other Trump News & Weather...

I've seen tweets from various places saying Biden-Harris will continue to need money for all the lawyers who will have to challenge all of trump's claims.

High fence is going up around White House this evening:

Went to a candlelight vigil tonight. The world is so on edge. I needed that, even if I wasn't able to stay the whole time.

I so hope to be able to breath again when this nightmare is all over.

Sef, Sarah Cooper. Her bunker tweet all over again. What a frightened little man.

WICharlie, you were right.

I'm trying to stay out of newsfeeds and facebook. I think of myself as being a sensible, middle-of-the-road person. But I am clearly missing something. I just don't understand.

There are a lot of Dem-leaning mail ballots yet to be counted.

Oh God. trump is doing a press conference right now.

Wish I could un-see his airing of grievances and lies upon lies this evening:

It was not only pathetic but also so dangerous and incendiary.

Anderson Cooper described the ugly spectacle as, "A bloated turtle on his back, flailing in the hot sun."

Someone else made the good point: If dems rigged the election, why didn't they do a better job with the House or flip the Senate?

No kidding! They really need to up their game ;-)

and if it's truly rigged, why is it down to the wire?

We're doin' it!!! Georgia flipped for Biden! While I was checking moments ago, Pennsylvania flipped too! Those mail in votes are going blue!!

End of the day, there will be no road for trump except to jail!

Don't pop the champagne corks yet. The tRumpies are working on the faithless elector angle, although it is true that the more electoral votes Biden has, the harder it will be for the orange covidiot to pull that off. I'm not as worried about it as I was when it looked like he'd get 270 even.

No corks popping here, yet. Still shell shocked over waking up to find that Al Gore wasn't president after all.

I will certainly be happiest to see trump physically on the street and Biden safe in the White House but I believe that will happen.

No kidding.

The last time there were something like 7 faithless electors. At this point, Biden has a wide lead and while I would not want him to lose any, he has some wiggle. Some of those "faithless electors" were from Trump-won states, so he shouldn't crow too much. He hasn't any buffer to lose this time.

We owe much to Stacey Abrams and her hard work in Georgia. Next up - Georgia's Senate races, which will determine control of the Senate.

Ditto on Abrams. The run-offs in January will be another nail-biter.

Abrams was also partly responsible for wins in other states due to her organization. My daughter has a t-shirt from her work with her team when she lived in NY (the 2018 election). Stacy Abrams is an inspiration and power house.

Ditto. She's impressive.
Fingers crossed for GA Senate run-offs.
