In the last minute Trump has increased his electoral college vote. Now 212 to 223, according to Politico.

Obama was 'new blood' and look how that went.

Yes, look how Obama went:

 

Unemployment tumbled from 10.4% to 4.8%

The stock market soared 220%

The Recession ended and growth returned

Obama saved the banking industry which was mere days from collapse

Obama saved the insurance industry

Obama saved the auto industry.

ALL of the bailouts were repaid in full, and the USG even made a profit

 

We should be so lucky again.

 

Today, under 45, we have almost 9% unemployment, an economy smaller than it was in 2017, an additional $7,000,000,000,000 of National Debt, and more than 231,000 Americans dead from Covid, which on a per capita basis makes the US the 3rd Worst in the world among 197 nations where Covid has struck.

[Walker88]

Looking pretty good for Biden now. The early voting ballots in MI and WI certainly favor him, and with Biden taking AZ and NE-2, he won't even need PA.

 

Looking forward to President Biden!

[thaibeachlovers]

As heard on radio, Trump has taken Florida.

Sooooo, not the worst in the world then, despite being told constantly that the US had the worst result in the world?

I am well aware of what the house is vs the senate.

According to Politico the Dems have 143 and the GOP 154 at the moment.

It's a while till the election is called though so it's anyone's guess at the moment.

 

Senate GOP 46 to 45 for the Dems.

 

House just got another GOP seat while I was writing the above, oops, make that 2 more.

No!

The democrats keep the house. 

Zero doubt about that.

Its an excellent source of news. 

It wish it was legal to place bets here because if you really believe the Republicans will take the house that would be the easiest money ever.

Googling "live us vote count" should give you The Associated Press results as the first hit.

 

224/213 to Biden, The Donald is coming up on the rails.

Pennsylvania is the big one but I heard on the radio that they've stopped counting and gone home for a sleep.

I'm not saying which party will win, but it's too close to be sure. 171 to 165. Senate GOP ahead by 1.

A massive lead for Trump though.

 

Biden is 700,000 votes behind with only 36% of votes remaining. Biden would need a MASSIVE amount of those remaining votes to overtake Trump. Given he only got 42.4% of the 64% counted so far, it's safe to say that's Trump's as well.

Dems 174 to 167.

If Trump wins, the senate is GOP and the house is Democrat, does that mean we get a new impeachment every month for the next 4 years?

It's never over till it's over, but for sure it's a nailbiter.

Sad that America had to experiment with Trump. I truly wish there were a way to make his supporters pay for what they have done to the United States. The nastiest pack of rubes and crackers, put a madman in charge for the last four years and there is no guarantee that this monster won't get ANOTHER four year term. I cringe when I think of checking the election results tomorrow morning. Living in Asia has been like watching a relative commit suicide.

I am. The democrats will keep control of the house. Zero doubt. Maybe you should move on to where there is still doubt.

No.

But if the senate goes Democrat another impeachment is possible.

Possibly.

Let's count all the votes.

 

Biden is still favored to win but that doesn't necessarily mean he will.

I'm pretty sure if Trump wins and congress is Democrat that they will impeach and convict him and precipitate a political crisis that will make them regret they did.

I doubt that the house would ever impeach him again unless they were sure that they had the votes in the senate to convict.

When I said "congress" I was including the senate. Perhaps that is wrong. Tell me if so.

[thaibeachlovers]

Given all the media bias against Trump over the past 4 years, it has to say something about Biden that he hasn't won the election by a landslide.

The guy that has correctly predicted the election since 1984 ( Allan Lichtman ) that was paraded out on radio here and I think on CNN must be really sweating, as he said Biden wins.

Sunshine just claimed victory while only at 213 electoral votes and vows to go to the Supreme Court to stop ballot counting.  Erdogan and Kim just drank a glass of wine!

Even though the Supreme Court decisions for all States, but one, confirmed go-ahead to count postal votes that were post marked up to 03/11. A number of analysts are claiming the reason being trump wishes to stop counting postal votes it is likely he will lose. Unsure if the number includes all currently outstanding votes to be counted, but the number mentioned is four million. Biden has won Arizona, so Biden can still win, albeit by a very small margin of Electoral College votes. trump's approach to the Supreme Count, will only create even deeper partisan division.

 

Mr Trump, a Republican, claimed to have won and vowed to launch a Supreme Court challenge, baselessly alleging fraud.

No that is correct.

But it turns out we'll have the status quo.

The democrats will hold the house.

The Republicans will hold the senate unfortunately.

No flips.

 

So you still think wapo is such.a bad source or only when you don't like what they're reporting?

That's the kind of thing illiberal anti democracy authoritarian dictators do.

If Biden pulls this out 45 has now incited his fans to civil war. 

No I'm not exaggerating.
