I've followed those links, and found one link within one of those links which contains a plausible explanation for the Michigan Biden-unanimous ballot dump, but this still fails to explain similar incidents in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. There will be plenty of litigation in many states, and litigation cannot proceed without evidence.

Furthermore, the Public Interest Legal Foundation has filed suit over the cleanliness of Pennsylvania's voter rolls:

PA Lawsuit: 21K Deceased on Voter Rolls, Evidence of Voting Activity After Death

I'll post further when i learn of anything new.

The whole deal with the New Left is their chronic campaign to racialize aspects of the class struggle. Here's a good one from AOC to moderate Democrats:

AOC Claims Foes of ‘Defund Police’ and Socialism Are Engaged in ‘Racial Resentment Attacks’ This is despite the fact that, according to a recent Gallup poll, 81% of Black Americans oppose defunding the police (Black Americans Want Police to Retain Local Presence). This is in addition to Socialism being overwhelmingly about class oppression and exploitation, with racial oppression being an important issue, but not the central one in most circumstances.

From The Guardian:

Armed men arrested near Philadelphia vote-counting site, police say

Two men, who lacked permits to carry their weapons in Pennsylvania, traveled from Virginia in Hummer with QAnon sticker

Duuuude... I mean, if your plan is to take down a vote-counting site to help Trump, at the very least be a little less conspicuous and lose the QAnon sticker before you drive all the way from a state that's not even contiguous (you gotta go through West Virginia or Maryland, right?). Cover it with something else. I don't know, a Snoopy sticker. Something.

Biden did a sorry not sorry and kinda called it. :D

We Hereby Dump Trump

When it came to planning his postelection fight, Trump was an Apprentice.

By Maureen Dowd
Opinion Columnist

WASHINGTON — We expected more of Donald Trump.

An epic, Jack Nicholson-in-the-Overlook-Hotel meltdown, not just Rose Garden-variety mewling. A conspiracy with grandiosity, not merely pathetic blathering about pointless lawsuits from his entitled children and oddballs Rudy Giuliani and Richard Grenell.

The president has had all this time to hatch a spidery plot to ruin democracy on the way out the door, and this is the best he can come up with?

The election has been stolen!

What’s your proof?

Because I’m losing.

This, from the man who has been hailed as an evil genius of media manipulation?

Trump can’t hold a candle to the well-oiled machine — Jeb Bush, Katherine Harris, James Baker and the Supreme Court — that purloined the Florida vote, and thereby the presidency, for W. in 2000.

It was the same old tired Trump routine we’ve watched for four years, right through the pandemic failure: Beat your chest and bleat that you’re king of the world. Then do nothing except screw up.

But you can’t con your way past 74 million Biden ballots any more than you can con your way past a microbe. The masked Americans counting the vote just kept on counting, impervious to the president’s evidence-free conniptions.

Trump campaigned hard and his coattails worked even if a lot of Republican voters were ready to hand him his hat.

Even with the Republican National Committee seeking to rake in $60 million to support Trump’s sore-loser piffle, I was getting the distinct impression that many here were not waiting for the final tally. They have happily channel-surfed away from Trump’s egomaniacal bluster.

John Roberts was no doubt relieved that the president’s legal feints were so lame and threadbare that the Supreme Court would probably not have to do another indefensible Bush v. Gore decision to save their benefactor.

Mitch McConnell was certainly savoring the prospect of being the top Republican in town. Trump had served his purpose as a useful tool to get a tax cut and three Supreme Court picks. Mitch thought he was headed to minority leader, doing his usual obstructionist schtick, but lo and behold he could still be majority leader, controlling the Biden agenda.

Lindsey Graham told Sean Hannity on Thursday night that he would cough up half a mil to the president’s legal defense fund but his heart no longer seemed to be in the lap dog routine. The next day, he was spreading some sunny optimism about bipartisanship in a Biden era. If Joe Biden won, he said, “I’ll give him my input about who I could vote for as secretary of state, attorney general.”

As Trump howled at the moon, denizens of Trumpworld were looking over the horizon, plotting new jobs or book deals.

Even The New York Post, which was game to slime Hunter Biden on the eve of the election, started sniping at the Trumps on Twitter: “Downcast Trump makes baseless election fraud claims in White House address” and “Panic-stricken Donald Trump Jr. calls for ‘total war’ in clueless tweet.”

Jared Kushner got in touch with Rupert Murdoch on election night to convey the White House’s white-hot anger over the early Fox News call of Arizona for Biden. But Fox News stood by the call. As Bret Baier calmly asserted, it’s all in the math. (But they couldn’t go all-in — initially Fox brass told talent not to call Biden “president-elect.”)

The president who had managed to superimpose his own reality on the world with startling success was suddenly being yanked into the same reality that the rest of us share. The Superman shirt wasn’t working.

“I think what the president needs to do is, frankly, put his big boy pants on,” said Philadelphia’s Democratic mayor, Jim Kenney.

Biden may not be the most thrilling candidate ever, but there was a real buzz watching the votes come in because our unwieldy, county-by-county system seemed to work. No one was scared by Trump’s protestation.

And I can’t help but be bewitched by Biden’s Cinderfella story. He was knocked out of the ’88 race and couldn’t make a mark in the titanic battle between Hillary and Obama in 2008. He was a loyal vice president but was ushered out of the arena by President Barack Obama, who thought that the gaffe-prone Uncle Joe had hit his ceiling.

After being cut loose by the first Black president, and moving aside for the Clintons’ restoration — something his dying son, Beau, did not want to happen — Biden was revived during the South Carolina primary with the help of Jim Clyburn and Black voters. This week, he got a vital boost from Black voters in Georgia, thanks in part to all the work Stacey Abrams did. And Biden, friendly with John McCain, got buoyed by Latinos in Arizona.

After accepting in 2015 that he had missed his moment, that he was too white and too old and too male and too befogged by grief over Beau, the soon-to-be 78-year-old has seen his moment come back around.

F. Scott Fitzgerald was wrong. There are second acts. And what could be more American than that?

To her credit...

Hillary Clinton's 2016 Warning That Trump Always Claims System Is Rigged When Losing Watched 3 Million Times

[...] In the video [from one of the debates vs the Dotard] Clinton says: "You know, every time Donald thinks things are not going in his direction, he claims whatever it is is rigged against him.

"He lost the Iowa caucus. He lost the Wisconsin primary. He said the Republican primary was rigged against him.

"Then Trump University gets sued for fraud and racketeering; he claims the court system and the federal judge is rigged against him.

"There was even a time when he didn't get an Emmy for his TV program three years in a row and he started tweeting that the awards were rigged against him."

At this point in the footage, Trump can be heard interjecting to say: "Should have gotten it," and the audience starts to laugh.

Clinton responds by saying: "This is... this is a mindset. This is how Donald thinks. And it's funny, but it's also really troubling. No, that is not the way our democracy works."

If these counts are legit, why go out of your way to block access to the agreed upon observers?

Why cover up the windows so the public could no longer watch? Again, this was something agreed to before the election!!!

If you are conducting an honest count with nothing to hide, why go to such lengths to block or hide anything?

If I was Joe Biden and thought I honestly received more votes than ANY PRESIDENT in the history of voting, I would call a press conference and DEMAND the observers be allowed full access. I would have beat Rudy Giuliani to the punch and removed any appearance of secrecy from the proceedings.

I would have called out FaceBook and tell them to reinstate the Stop The Steal Group because I wouldn’t want any hints that mass media was trying to prevent such discussions. I would even point out that FaceBook sure didn’t “fact check” anyone clamoring about how the Trump campaign colluded with Russian in the years following the 2016 election.

Everything done in the dark comes to light......especially when concerning ballots dropped off in the middle of the night.

Joe Biden very well could have honestly won the election and Republicans will have to get use to uttering, “President Joe Biden,” but the Democratic Party isn’t doing the election process any favors with how they are handling it!

Gotta admire their temerity

Twitter goodness right here. Someone actually used money to pay for a fly over before the Everton game. "World knows trump won #maga"

The fuck has an Everton game got to do with Trump?

They're both losing?:D

When sharing a video, it’s not about the individual who tweeted it, it’s about the content! The ability to see said video!!

Brock Martin tweet (157 followers)
“Empty cars and a staged feeling before Biden gets on stage to make his speech live just moments ago!!!!”

Melcolm X tweet (4812 followers)
“JOE BIDEN’S FAKE SPEECH EXPOSED!

This is insane! The media is clearly covering up Joe Biden’s fake speech! He was not at the lectern, cars were empty, obviously prerecorded and he still stumbled through it!”

SarcastTc Coug tweet (492 followers)
“Anyone noticed at his last drive in rally every vehicle was a 2020 or 2021 Jeep. Some Jeep dealership got paid well to provide all the cars. Every one was a Jeep. ”

I much rather prefer an empty stage to an empty headed President.

Bytor:
“Democrats aren’t doing anyone any favors with how they’re handling this!”

Democrats:
*Loudly advocate counting all ballots*

Republicans:
*Try to obstruct counting process*

Logic:
Not present

i decided to unblock the deplorables for the lols.

i can’t stop laughing.

“the cars are fake”

it’s a stage you dumbass

4 more *million* people voted for democrats.

“but the cars”

primitives...

CNN has just announced that they announce Biden as President Elect!! By winning Pennsylvania
While Trump 's advocates are preparing a speech in a few minutes in Pennsylvania, not Trump himself

Biden wins with 273 to 213

NBC News has just projected that Biden has won the State of Pennsylvania with her 20 electoral votes, giving Biden 273 electoral votes and the presidency.

HELL YEAH PENNSYLVANIA—UNCLE JOE!!!!!!

best brunch in a long time

Thank goodness. Though America lost altogether. Still racist and entitled as fuck.

Well, they have already counted more Wisconsin ballots than they have registered voters. The “projected” Wisconsin win for Joe Biden is less than once percent, well within the rules for a standard recount.

I placed “projected” within parentheses because they are still in the process of counting ballots that far exceed Wisconsin registered voters, so feel free to attach your AMIRITE horse before the actual cart......just a fair warning that it could end up in a horrible crash.

AMIRITE!

Guess where Trump was when it was announced that Biden will be the next President?

Trump is currently at his Virginia golf course.

I'm sure he'll do a beautiful passing of the baton speech about Biden to carry on with tradition.

uncle joe sealing nevada as well

290 electoral votes.

It’s clear the networks want this ended today, but it’s far from over! It’s not like we haven’t seen this before, just twenty years ago when Al Gore litigated for 37 days:

It’s going to be a BIG week, time to pop some more popcorn : )

Yeah Trump isn't going to take leads in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona. It's done.

Hey guys. I've been away for a few days. Anything been going on? :)

Actually, I just strolled through this thread. Some of you have been quoting the Magabitches!! It's good to see that they have moved from Hunter Biden to Election Fraud.

I want to thank Apocalypse Fuckface: His rhetoric about mail in votes caused the Magabitches not to....well....mail in votes.

My prediction: Trump will never concede. He will resign in protest before Jan 20. Pence will dutifully do the transition.

Rats will now run off the sinking ship. Some balls will finally appear within the GOP....too little too late.

Twitter will eventually grow some balls and ban Fuckface before Jan 20.

Amirite?

It's the red tears flood! My shoes are soggy and salty.
