I said it 4 years ago.....Hillary has more balls than Trump. She even sat through that Benghazi hearing and took it like a man.ggait wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 5:07 pm So NC and GA finally get called.
So 2020 EC is 306-232. 2016 EC was 306-232.
In 2016, Trump won a handful of swing states by five figure margins. In 2020, Biden won a handful of swing states by five figure margins.
Hillary called Trump at 3 am on election night to concede. Trump said this on TV on election night: "If you count the legal votes, I easily win. If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us."
TL/DR: Hillary has balls. Trump does not.
But, of course, Trump is "within his rights."
Because in America, you have a constitutional right to act like a whiny little beyotch.
Reports are that there are only about 10,000 such ballots. Reports have been conflicting, but some say these ballots haven’t been counted yet, but rather have been set aside.seacoaster wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:27 pm Third Circuit delivers a blow to the Trump trip to Fantasy Island:

Court of Appeals upholds a federal district court order that rejected a constitutional challenge to PA's extended, post-Election Day deadline for absentee ballots. A separate challenge remains pending before SCOTUS, though, so the fate of those ballots remains unsettled.

Haven’t seen how these ballots break down, but to be conservative, let’s say they break 75/25 for Joe. If so, and if they have been counted, then Trumpy only stands to cut Biden’s margin by 5000, about 10% of his current deficit, if the ballots are tossed.

And she's doing it on your dime. Traitors.
Even here, with the election called by every credible and creditable source available at this point, General Kelly has to throw in the softening cushion of "be it Biden or Trump." True to form: General Kelly's association with Trump will be the soil that highlights his obituary someday. Just remarkably sad.

"The delay in transitioning is an increasing national security and health crisis. It costs the current administration nothing to start to brief Mr. Biden, Ms. Harris, the new chief-of-staff, and ALL identified cabinet members and senior staff as they are identified over the days and weeks ahead. That said, the downside to not doing so could be catastrophic to our people regardless of who they voted for.
Just as important are getting the landing or beachhead teams into the various departments and agencies that protect Americans, our health, and our way of life. In particular are the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Defense (DOD), the Intel Community (IC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) so they can begin to build the absolutely critical situational awareness essential for a smooth transition of presidents if required.
Also, time is of the essence to commence the SF-86 process that will lead to required high-level security clearances. Hopefully, the incoming administration, be it Biden or Trump, will take security clearances—and who gets them and why—seriously
All this will allow a Biden Administration, if declared the winner via our Constitutional and rule of law process, to be well on its way to taking the reins to lead and protect the country and our people. It will allow the incoming professionals, if Mr. Biden does indeed win the election, to understand where the current administration is leaving them on incredibly important issues like terrorism, Syria, Afghanistan, China, Iran and Russia, and what our current relationship is with our vital allies and partners particularly in NATO, Japan, South Korea, India, the five eyes, etc.. Just as importantly they will be in a position to develop an effective national strategy to protect all of us against the increasing ravages of the corona virus.
Beginning the transition, even as some claim that a clear winner in the election has not yet been identified, is critically important. The current administration does not have to concede, but it should do the right thing just in case the Constitutional system declares they lost. It is not about the GOP or the Democrat Party. It is not about the president or about Mr. Biden. It is about America and what is best for our people. Mr. Trump should order the transition process begin immediately. It is the right and moral thing to do."
Time for OS to throw him under the bus.
No offense, but I agree with OS, this relic and his ilk needs to just go away. His shine faded years ago.Kismet wrote: ↑Sat Nov 14, 2020 7:51 am Public statement from General John Kelly USMC (ret.)
