27,041 votes were added bringing the lead down from 18586 to 12835.

47,727 left. So on that basis I think we’ve catched up between the count and reporting.

Biden needs about 63% to pull ahead, which is slightly higher than the 60.5% he’s been getting last 3 batches, but lower than the current overall rate of 72-27.

Is trump trying to get the SecDef to bring in the military?
No, Esper has been rumored to be replaced since soon after the large protests and him pushing back on involving active duty military (even though the 82nd or 101st, can't remember which, did deploy to the DC area). Trump didn't like that plus him being in favor of renaming bases named after confederate generals.

I just checked who the Deputy Secretary is and its a career government guy, a real bureaucrat. Doesn't seem the type that would go along with the crazy orders of an outgoing president, too risky.

Glorious :drool:

This is what it's all been about isn't it? Shout about how outraged they are at Biden illegally winning, get everyone pissed off, BUT have no intention at all of fighting it. All so they can just keep making money off of people's anger.

Wasn't it about 700k lead at one point?
The people who know the numbers have thought since Tuesday night that PA actually looked good or Biden. Which is why he mentioned it as looking good in his 1st speech. Same kind of people continue to say that it won't even be that close in PA, that he'll have a decent margin when its all counted.

And I'm all out of bubblegum.
The GOP to the Trumps - You made your bed, now go fecking lay in it.
Umm... if the Trumps made their bed, then the GOP lay at the foot of that bed as the loyal lapdog they are. They get zero cred for not allowing Trump to basically coup the democratic process after he has already lost the election. None.

Even if he loses he doesn’t leave until 20 January.
Normally that's true, but I can see Trump trying to flee the country or bunkering up at Mar-A-Lago. I don't think he actually enjoys spending time at the White House, and he definitely doesn't like DC.

Too dumb to recognise that if they turn on the GOP they will be left with no allies when the new DOJ pursue them.
Meh, don't think that will happen. It sets a precedent, doesn't it? Usually the reason why new leaders don't go after previous corrupt leaders is because they don't want the next ones to go after them.

As soon as Biden takes the lead in PA the networks should call it, right?
I guess they may wait until it's a decent chunk of lead, but yeah I think that's what they're waiting on. Nevada looks done as well but I think AP and Fox don't wait to kick off the "Biden wins" headlines in case their Arizona call was hasty (however unlikely they think that may be).

A live prayer group? These people are so cringe it's ridicilous.
As someone who isn't very religious, but prays and does have some faith, people like this, and generally all these American Evangelicals on the whole, genuinely make me embarrassed to share some of the same faith with them.
