Yeah, this is what I'm hoping, and a lot of people too I'm sure. It's comprehensive enough to block the secondary legal avenues that he was bound to explore.

I think its a Pennsylvania thing. I almost never see Suburu here in California. But I had a relative live in Pennsylvania and they drove a Suburu and a bunch of their neighbors and associates drove Subus as well.Yeh i was listening to it real time and laughed then i thought to my self...what the feck is he talking about..all dems drive hippy subies?
KEY RACE ALERT, I'm clearly not anywhere near drunk enough to still be writing sentences like this. More booze!
Comparing that to germany where only one of Angela Merkel's predecessors is still alive.
It hasn't been decided. Literally, legally or otherwise.
As outside observers, we can judge in good faith who should be the given the Presidency by rights. But that isn't what's happening and it's not the way this Election is going to play out. Even if the result turns out to match what we think it should be, the path to the Whitehouse is going to be the one that Trump decides it to be.
I'm starting my celebrations tonight @WI_Red - Ordered a takeaway for myself and the dog, opened up the bottle, and bidding on a beautiful medal at auction!
I prefer Talisker. Nice and peaty.I have Talisker because my Lagavulin didn’t arrive on time
She's been in office for fecking ages though.
Person who changed the name of the thread & included imminent in it was clearly having a laugh. This is going to end next week
Biden will be sworn in January 20th 2021 - there is no doubt.
At the very least. This isn't a regular election. You can't assess it by the usual paradigm.
You're playing semantics. It's over. If it was Armenia, Russia, or Zimbabwe it might not be, but in the USA it's done. Even the secret service thinks so.
What are you arguing?
Well not exactly. It's ultimately up to the individual states and the electors at this point not Trump. And now finally, the self-interest of other Republicans will kick in and they won't want to be associated with such a bold attempt at power-grabbing.
That you seem to think it’s not over? Biden has won, the math has spoken. Common sense dictates that Trump can’t challenge multiple states.
It's not semantics, it's law.
We all can't be young like Bernie
Ahh I see. Didn't know that about subarus.
Which law?
Right.
So you've just detailed a number of upcoming steps which will need to be followed, in contrast to the way elections are usually conducted. Trump's playing by a different playbook.
You're arguing the sanctity of the result. I'm discussing the inevitability of the process.
What a shambolic procedure the yanks have in place. Trump and his antics might actually force them to streamline the system.
I don’t really follow American politics and I dont know much about Biden but damn he just doesn’t look like a president. He’ll be in his 80’s during his tenure? Seems absurd to me.
No, I am talking about the law. You mentioned the law in your other reply. Trump has no control over the law or the "inevitability of the processs". He can throw any tantrum he wants but your original statement that its "up to Trump" is just wrong. It's up each individual state and the electors now. The road does not run through Mar-a-Lago.
The military, secret service, etc all swear their oath to the Constitution NOT the President.
Ok, I'm surprised it was this close.
Pity as it'd all be over now, at least wrt to who's getting sworn in come January.
With that said, if I'm trump I'd be using whatever legal challenges I could, but to say that it's been rigged and its cheating doesn't serve the country well. His adviser should tell him to stfu until the votes are counted.

I'm VERY much looking forward to the Trump clan's play at dictatorship fizzling out now that mainstream Reps are starting to reject him. He won't survive Fox going against him.
just think Kamala Harris. she'll be the one should Joe become unable to serve.
Getting great mileage out of that one you are!
Unpopular opinion - Little John King is just as good as his Dad
Sure amGetting great mileage out of that one you are!
Baby Yoda made an appearance in our election thread!Getting great mileage out of that one you are!
I thought it was pronounced like method man saying "tical".

This is a pantomime show. News networks asking when will trump will grasp reality, yet they are all sitting there like frightened children refusing to call the obvious.
The one that means Biden still isn't the President Elect.

When’s Joe Bidden’s victory speech?
Ultimately the courts aren't going to move against american democracy and certainly haven't been drinking the Trump Kool-Aid. He has 0 chance of overthrowing the american constitution in the courtroom, he might have been able to bully his contractors with expensive lawyers but he won't be able to do it against the state.
Dude, you realize Trump has nothing to do with that either right? Its the states and electors.
John King is.. well, king. But Junior is actually growing on me.
You're proving your ignorance here. There's no legal standing for 'president elect' - It's an honorific.
So again, which law?
Here, I'll give you a nice wiki link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President-elect_of_the_United_States
I think he appears to try to be too much like him.
