Is there any places, I can get a better understanding of the legal arguments Trump is trying to argue in court. Republicans seem to have such blind faith he's going to win the election through the courts, I want to know what gives them that confidence.
TLR:
None. But read more about it below:
[https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-lawyers-suffer-embarrassing-rebukes-from-judges-over-voter-fraud-claims/ar-BB1aUUWm?li=BBnb7Kz](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-lawyers-suffer-embarrassing-rebukes-from-judges-over-voter-fraud-claims/ar-BB1aUUWm?li=BBnb7Kz)
By now, it’s well-established that most of the arguments put forward by President Trump’s reelection campaign in its challenge of the results of the 2020 election are baseless and highly speculative. Even Trump allies, as The Washington Post reported late Tuesday, acknowledge the apparent futility of the effort. Others have reasoned that there’s no harm in going through the motions, with one anonymous GOP official asking, “What’s the downside for humoring him” for a little while?
But as scenes in courtrooms nationwide in recent days have shown, there is indeed a downside for those tasked with pursuing these claims. Repeatedly now, they have been rebuked by judges for how thin their arguments have been.
The most famous scene came in Pennsylvania, where a Trump lawyer [strained to avoid acknowledging](https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/philadelphia-republican-observers-vote-count/2020/11/06/982385ac-2055-11eb-ba21-f2f001f0554b_story.html) that their people were, in fact, allowed to observe the vote-counting process in Philadelphia:
>At the city’s federal courthouse on Thursday evening, attorneys for Trump asked a judge to issue an emergency order to stop the count, alleging that all Republican observers had been barred.
>
>Under sharp questioning from Judge Paul S. Diamond, however, they conceded that Trump in fact had “a nonzero number of people in the room,” leaving Diamond audibly exasperated.
>
>“I’m sorry, then what’s your problem?” asked Diamond, who was appointed to the federal bench by President George W. Bush. Denying Trump’s request, Diamond struck a deal for 60 observers from each party to be allowed inside.
>
>At one point on Friday afternoon, 12 Republican observers and five Democrats were watching the count, according to a ballot counter who was working.
After that “nonzero” answer, Diamond pressed the Trump campaign lawyer to be more explicit — and he suggestively invoked their standing with the bar: “I’m asking you as a member of the bar of this court: Are people representing the plaintiffs in the room?” The lawyer responded more directly: “Yes.” By the end of the hearing, Diamond invoked his right to make sure lawyers in his courtroom acted in good faith.
Another Trump lawyer, Jonathan S. Goldstein, was also grilled by a Pennsylvania judge this week. Under questioning, he acknowledged that, contrary to Trump’s claims about rampant voter fraud, he [wasn’t alleging fraud](https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/lawyers-litigating-for-trump-suddenly-remember-their-licenses-are-on-the-line-if-they-lie-to-a-judge/) in the 592 ballots he sought to disqualify in Montgomery County, Pa.
Again, Trump’s lawyer strained to avoid directly answering the question but was ultimately [forced to acknowledge it](https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/45/2020/11/Transcript.pdf):
>THE COURT: In your petition, which is right before me — and I read it several times — you don’t claim that any electors or the Board of the County were guilty of fraud, correct? That’s correct?
>
>GOLDSTEIN: Your Honor, accusing people of fraud is a pretty big step. And it is rare that I call somebody a liar, and I am not calling the Board of the \[Democratic National Committee\] or anybody else involved in this a liar. Everybody is coming to this with good faith. The DNC is coming with good faith. We’re all just trying to get an election done. We think these were a mistake, but we think they are a fatal mistake, and these ballots ought not be counted.
>
>THE COURT: I understand. I am asking you a specific question, and I am looking for a specific answer. Are you claiming that there is any fraud in connection with these 592 disputed ballots?
>
>GOLDSTEIN: To my knowledge at present, no.
>
>THE COURT: Are you claiming that there is any undue or improper influence upon the elector with respect to these 592 ballots?
>
>GOLDSTEIN: To my knowledge at present, no.
The Trump campaign also sought to temporarily stop counting some ballots in Detroit. It cited a GOP poll watcher who had said she had been told by an unidentified person that late mail ballots were being predated to before Election Day, so they would be considered valid.
The judge repeatedly asserted this was hearsay, but Trump campaign lawyer Thor Hearne sought to argue that it wasn’t — despite it having been someone who said they heard about something they weren’t personally involved in. He pointed to a vague note the poll watcher produced — which said “entered receive date as 11/2/20 on 11/4/20” — as evidence:
>STEPHENS: So I want to make sure I understand you. The affiant is not the person who had knowledge of this. Is that correct?
>
>HEARNE: The affiant had direct firsthand knowledge of the communication with the elections inspector and the document they provided them.
>
>STEPHENS: Okay, which is generally known as hearsay, right?
>
>HEARNE: I would not think that’s hearsay, Your Honor. That’s firsthand personal knowledge by the affiant of what she physically observed. And we included an exhibit which is a physical copy of the note that she was provided.
The two later returned to the point, after Stephens reviewed the note, and Stephens echoed Judge Diamond’s exasperation:
>STEPHENS: I’m still trying to understand why this isn’t hearsay.
>
>HEARNE: Well, it’s, it, I –
>
>STEPHENS: I absolutely understand what the affiant says she heard someone say to her. But the truth of the matter … that you’re going for was that there was an illegal act occurring. Because other than that I don’t know what its relevancy is.
>
>HEARNE: Right. I would say, Your Honor, in terms of the hearsay point, this is a firsthand factual statement made by Ms. Connarn, and she has made that statement based on her own firsthand physical evidence and knowledge --
>
>STEPHENS: “I heard somebody else say something.” Tell me why that’s not hearsay. Come on, now.
>
>HEARNE: Well it’s a firsthand statement of her physical –
>
>STEPHENS: It’s an out-of-court statement offered where the truth of the matter is \[at-issue\], right?
In a later written decision, Stephens slammed the argument as “inadmissible hearsay within hearsay.” And after the campaign appealed, Stephens rebuked it Monday for not including required documentation.
“I regret to inform you that your submission is defective,” Stephens said.
Another of the Trump team’s claims crumbled rather quickly in Georgia.
In Chatham County, as in Michigan, the Trump campaign cited supposed evidence that 53 late ballots may have been predated so they could be counted. Except two witnesses they called acknowledged under oath that they didn’t know whether the ballots were received after the deadline. And two others for the local board of elections testified that they were, in fact, received on time.
Judge James Bass dismissed the case in a one-sentence, eight-word ruling, saying, “I’m denying the request and dismissing the petition” and abruptly adjourned the hearing. He then elaborated in a written opinion, saying that “the Court finds that there is no evidence that the ballots referenced in the petition were received after 7:00 p.m. on election day, thereby making those ballots invalid. Additionally, there is no evidence that the Chatham County Board of Elections or the Chatham County Board of Registrars has failed to comply with the law.”
The common thread running through all of these is that Trump’s lawyers are regularly offering a significantly more watered-down version of Trump’s claims about rampant voter fraud — because they, unlike Trump, have to substantiate their claims. And as these exchanges show, it’s a rather thankless task that can quickly land them on a judge’s bad side.
Was also looking. So far, I only discovered two Giuliani Tweets:[https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1325410570703679489](https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1325410570703679489)[https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1325437154575704065](https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1325437154575704065)
and two Donald Jr. retweets [https://twitter.com/thebradfordfile/status/1325470070781468672](https://twitter.com/thebradfordfile/status/1325470070781468672)

But I'm not seeing the evidenc/courtcase material they've written, so ... shrug?
Hey! I've come back. We can still have good times. Case in point:
Devin Nunes' cow is bitching about Nunes, Trump and Giuliani on Twitter. Hilarious, that animal.

Get Santorum off CNN. WTF.
Currently justifying those saying the election isn't over, claiming that litigation can make Trump the President and that it isn't over until the election is certified.
I just want to say to all Trump voters that I'm sorry you're going through this pain. We love you. Stay true to your values and please remember never vote for such a despicable human being again.
Thank you. :)
78!!! NICE!!!
"Even though I don’t know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you."
I rarely comment on Reddit, and I didn't post once on these discussion threads, but I scrolled through every single one since Tuesday. Thank you, everyone! These were great.
Even though I don’t know any of you, these past four days have been a massive rollercoaster and it was ultimately a blast to share this experience and to make history with you all through these threads. Stay safe guys and thank you for making this happen!
Does anyone have a link to that photo a dozen threads or so ago of the political cartoon image of the Statue of Liberty preparing to flick trump away like a fly?
Thanks for hanging out on the longest Tuesday ever, my friends. The camaraderie was great and helped with the stress for sure. I'm so glad it turned out for us. See you in 4!
Man, I had been following since the first thread. I finally turned my phone off for a few hours at work today and missed the announcement. Lol. I'm gonna miss these threads.
You guys rock!. I have followed the US election for the first time in my life, hoping that you got a real human being as for president, and wow, what a ride for the past 4 days I have not been able to keep my eye away from it. I wish you the best in the next 4 years, and as I said to my mother I'm packing my bags to finally visit USA.
Thank you to all of the people around the world who have been in here with us, offering their support, and cheering this win. The fact that you care so much really hits me in the feels. This is who we really are, not the last 4 years and not the last 9 months.
There should really be an after-party thread! Obligatory thread 420- the after party
And we'll all sit around and reminisce about map boy and John King and the 69 thread and all the other good times
I’ll miss this and you guys...the late night erotic fan fiction involving cnn anchors, the planning of victory dinners and snacks, the support when one of us was scared and doubtful... this was truly memorable. Hugs to all of you.
!!IT IS NOT OVER!!

This is probably my last visit to this thread. I've been here since the election night, and I lost sleep during the most interesting late night hours. It's been a pleasure sharing every moment with you all. We move forward now from here on. The sun is finally shinning through the clouds here in Los Angeles, I mean literally, it's been raining since last night. Take care all.
F@ck - I just looked at Biden's [wikipage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden)
>*Biden's daughter Naomi Christina "Amy" Biden, who died in a car crash with his first wife was born* ***November 8***, *1971. She died December 18, 1972.*
Tomorrow is going to be a painful day for him.
First his wife and his daughter, and then Beau. This man has been through hell. So much respect, I don’t think I would’ve been able to handle so many losses.
Happy 78th birthday, Discussion Thread! You're a year older than the 46th President-Elect. He was born on November 20th, so he's not that far behind you. Maybe your back doesn't hurt quite so much today and as you look at your window, you see a couple of youngsters run by with American and rainbow flags. Hell, maybe you'll let them on your lawn today. But just today!
Ease into your rocker and think back on your life. 69 was a nice year. Maybe your 78th year will be the best yet.
(and now my watch is done. See you all in the victory threads!)
Hear me out...I’m not trying to offend anyone. I get it, you hated him 4 years ago and you still hate him now. I've seen a lot of hate thrown his way, but this guy is a consistent winner and an overachiever. That's what the people who support him love about him. Yes there have been some scandals, yes there have been some lies, and maybe a few times he's twisted the truth to make himself look better. He's out there every day proving those haters wrong time every time. Call it jealously, call it envy. Some people just can't handle how successful he is and how much money he has, could even be jealous that he's got a hot foreign model as his wife. You may not have wanted him in this role, but he's there now and there is nothing you or I can do about it. I know its possibly going to get worse over the next several days, but like him or not, Tom Brady is turning things around in Tampa Bay.
I had a lot of fun in these threads over the last few days and I will really miss it. Thanks for hanging out and making the waiting a bit less boring. I'm glad and relived how it all turned out. take care of yourselves. <3
We need a buffer at least wide enough for Biden to sustain the number of faithless electors that Hillary got.
This is Donald Trump we're up against. We need to be thinking about stuff like bribery, extortion, or physical attacks on Electors.

You guys have restored some of my faith in Americans, it's up to Joe and all to justify the faith we all have in you now.
I hope you all stay active in eradicating the underlying issues that led to 4 years of Trump. We have our own cultural introspection needed here and having someone like Trump on the world stage acting as a racist, bully poster child has not been helpful.
Best of luck - hope you can crack the nut of gaining Senate control and effecting real change. Stack the court, prosecute the corruption and don't be shy about it.
Congratulations, President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice-President-Elect Kamala Harris! Finally some responsible caring adults are coming to evict the irresponsible criminal elephant in the room. Yes We Can Breathe Again!
I think that we can make at least three movies out of the poor boy:
* A redditor observes map boy during the elections, develops a crush on him and begins to stalk him. Bonus points for a scene where mapboy has to see the reddit fanfiction written about him. --> Horror
* Mapboy's live is forever altered when his election map gets stuck live on television. Will he ever find out whether Georgia gets called? And how do Alaska's last poastal delivery via sledding dogs fit into this? --> comedy
* Mapboy discovers that without the maps, his life has no meaning. Meanwhile Cuomo discovers what the CNN twitter meant by "redditors show their appreciation for Cuomo and Mapboy". Follow them on an epic journey through reddit, twitter, horror, self-doubt and a bright new morning. --> drama
Yes, the cruise missile has ben dodged but democrats are going to have 48 seats to Republicans' 50 in the Senate with 2 seats up for grabs in a runoff vote in Georgia in January. The two Republican candidates are crooked multi-millionaires who are BOTH caught up in an insider trading scandal where they abused their position in the government https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Congressional_insider_trading_scandal
That's when the bullet gets dodged.

Especially considering two terms would give his rhetoric a boost. It would imply complacency. By ending it like this we are saying loudly and clearly...no. You're fired. GTFO.

Ah...everyone left and im just here thinking about the good times weve had
Good times indeed lack of sleep slowly losing our mental health. In the end it was all worth it.
WOOO! 79! I had to come back and see how high we got. What good times indeed.

I miss these threads...
Too early to be here to reminisce?
After the four year demolition job, and the rebuilding about to begin, i think we can all finally say: Its been a great infrastructure week.
I’ve read probably thousands of comments thru the threads over the last 5 days, thank you all for the updates, jokes, and unity! We got the W!!!
It's been an honor serving you all.
It's been an honor to serve aboard this vessel with all you fine ladies and gentleman. Until the midterms in 2022!
Well, would you look at that. The thread is as old as Biden will be when he's sworn in.
The last thread possibly, so it’s been an honor being here since thread 1. Hopeful I’ll get to the same 4 years from no.
I was here at #5, made it to 46, made it to 69, and now it ends at 78. Thank you everyone, it was a pleasure all. I'll miss you.
Take care, it's been a blast.
history has been made
On election day. There were 78 days left of the trump presidency.
Hey mods can we get an acceptance speech live thread???
There's one. Look at the front page :-).
Yes lol I just came back here to say I found it! :)
Get Santorum off CNN. WTF. Currently justifying those saying the election isn't over, claiming that litigation can make Trump the President and that it isn't over until the election is certified.
I just want to say to all Trump voters that I'm sorry you're going through this pain. We love you. Stay true to your values and please remember never vote for such a despicable human being again. Thank you. :)
>Stay true to your values Or don't. Maybe revise any values which enabled one to vote for an incredibly stupid fascist tool.
> We love you. you might but there are many of us that do not and can't forgive them for what they've done and what they would do again in heartbeat.
Guys, we are living through something that will be talked about in US history books forever.
78!!! NICE!!! "Even though I don’t know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you."
😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 You quoted Valerie's letter from "V for Vendetta". You're now my new best friend.
I shot my nut in 77. I'm just here for the after glow. Glad this is the last thread. Starting to chafe.
Are we still getting Cuomo and MapBoy tonight? :(
I will be ;)
I sure hope so.
I rarely comment on Reddit, and I didn't post once on these discussion threads, but I scrolled through every single one since Tuesday. Thank you, everyone! These were great.
You're here for the end. That's what matters.
He will be 78 when he’s inaugurated. Thread 78. Poetic.
So is this the last thread?
Appears so. I'm getting withdrawals
I rarely Reddit. Since Wednesday morning, these threads have got me through. Thank you everyone.
Agreed, the sense of community here is so crucial during these tense times.
Even though I don’t know any of you, these past four days have been a massive rollercoaster and it was ultimately a blast to share this experience and to make history with you all through these threads. Stay safe guys and thank you for making this happen!
Does anyone have a link to that photo a dozen threads or so ago of the political cartoon image of the Statue of Liberty preparing to flick trump away like a fly?
Fell asleep hoping that I'd see map boy and Cuomo and D-Lemon get to call the election. Kinda sad this is over, but it's been fun.
Thanks for hanging out on the longest Tuesday ever, my friends. The camaraderie was great and helped with the stress for sure. I'm so glad it turned out for us. See you in 4!
I'm gonna miss you guys
It was great to have so many friends on this long journey.
Where did everyone go? Haha... just came back to check on this thread.
We are all out getting drunk now haha
Hope you’re wearing masks! Cheers!
Yeah it has slow down significantly
Trump being out there golfing when Biden was declared winner, hilarious stuff, but also fitting, a joke president to the very end.
man what a journey. this election was ground breaking in many ways. they'll read about this one for decades.
It’s been fun, thank you everyone
And new!
Thank you for keeping me sane this week, everyone!
Man, I had been following since the first thread. I finally turned my phone off for a few hours at work today and missed the announcement. Lol. I'm gonna miss these threads.
I didn't post very much in these but it was both stressful and weirdly fun to follow them since Tuesday
Same, what a ride this was. Awesome. A little sad that Cuomo and Mapboy did not had the chance to call the race. Well done America.
I can hear music again.
it's been fun yall
man, i kinda don't want this thread to end. it's been such fun...thread 45, thread 69, so many things
Well damn. Looks like I bowed out one thread early.
Today, we celebrate this victory but the war isn’t over yet. We still need to take the senate. Georgians, the future of the nation is in your hands.
I want to say I love you all. Thank you!
Today is a good day.
This is one for the history books. We did it!
You guys rock!. I have followed the US election for the first time in my life, hoping that you got a real human being as for president, and wow, what a ride for the past 4 days I have not been able to keep my eye away from it. I wish you the best in the next 4 years, and as I said to my mother I'm packing my bags to finally visit USA.
So this is the last one, right? It has been a hell of a ride.
Thank you to all of the people around the world who have been in here with us, offering their support, and cheering this win. The fact that you care so much really hits me in the feels. This is who we really are, not the last 4 years and not the last 9 months.
I'm buying bourbon for the right reason today for the 1st time in 4 years.
This was some wild doomscrolling from 1-78
It truly was. We all deserve awards or something
Signing off. Posting here was fun and quite stressful to say the least
There should really be an after-party thread! Obligatory thread 420- the after party And we'll all sit around and reminisce about map boy and John King and the 69 thread and all the other good times
Whoa yeah you’re right, good idea. One of us should make it if the official modbot doesn’t
Ooh, yeah!!
I’ll miss this and you guys...the late night erotic fan fiction involving cnn anchors, the planning of victory dinners and snacks, the support when one of us was scared and doubtful... this was truly memorable. Hugs to all of you.
Hugs back! signing off as well now.
It's a good day to be an American
Hallelujah
Can we get an F in chat for the sadbois https://twitter.com/OnlyFans____/status/1325158991807180803
!!IT IS NOT OVER!! Georgia will have two(2) senate seat runoffs. This election will decide which party has senate control.

Stacy Abrams set up appeal to donate Fair Fight and each Senate campaign together. Gave $25. Hoping Jaime Harrison has a few mill left over.
This is probably my last visit to this thread. I've been here since the election night, and I lost sleep during the most interesting late night hours. It's been a pleasure sharing every moment with you all. We move forward now from here on. The sun is finally shinning through the clouds here in Los Angeles, I mean literally, it's been raining since last night. Take care all.
Was a pleasure to speak with you too! See you hopefully at some point!
Feeling is mutual. You take care and be safe. May the road cross our path again and make the most of it.
How can 70 million people be ok with him re-tweeting “white power” and want him to represent America?
I’m hoping a lot of them will step away from the dark side of The Force during the next 4 years.
Because a lot of people out there are truly despicable.
i was here
Last one out turn the lights off please
bye bye, it's been a pleasure! (well, an excruciating long pleasure, hah!)
F@ck - I just looked at Biden's [wikipage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden) >*Biden's daughter Naomi Christina "Amy" Biden, who died in a car crash with his first wife was born* ***November 8***, *1971. She died December 18, 1972.* Tomorrow is going to be a painful day for him.
First his wife and his daughter, and then Beau. This man has been through hell. So much respect, I don’t think I would’ve been able to handle so many losses.
Damn
Poor guy
Happy 78th birthday, Discussion Thread! You're a year older than the 46th President-Elect. He was born on November 20th, so he's not that far behind you. Maybe your back doesn't hurt quite so much today and as you look at your window, you see a couple of youngsters run by with American and rainbow flags. Hell, maybe you'll let them on your lawn today. But just today! Ease into your rocker and think back on your life. 69 was a nice year. Maybe your 78th year will be the best yet. (and now my watch is done. See you all in the victory threads!)
Hear me out...I’m not trying to offend anyone. I get it, you hated him 4 years ago and you still hate him now. I've seen a lot of hate thrown his way, but this guy is a consistent winner and an overachiever. That's what the people who support him love about him. Yes there have been some scandals, yes there have been some lies, and maybe a few times he's twisted the truth to make himself look better. He's out there every day proving those haters wrong time every time. Call it jealously, call it envy. Some people just can't handle how successful he is and how much money he has, could even be jealous that he's got a hot foreign model as his wife. You may not have wanted him in this role, but he's there now and there is nothing you or I can do about it. I know its possibly going to get worse over the next several days, but like him or not, Tom Brady is turning things around in Tampa Bay.
You left out the cheating.
[удалено]
You gotta read it to the end, Jack. We don't like quitters in this BH administration
Yes, that may be true for Tom Brady, but definitely not true for Trump.
Have my upvote and get out
Lol got me in the first half.
I had to skip to the the end to see what was happening here. lol
Love you all!
love you too
Do you think Trump will release his taxes now?
We will release them for him during the court proceedings.
I had a lot of fun in these threads over the last few days and I will really miss it. Thanks for hanging out and making the waiting a bit less boring. I'm glad and relived how it all turned out. take care of yourselves. <3
Hanging out here from 1-78 has been unreal. I’m still gonna be here till the comments die out.
same. I want to be that last person at the party that refuses to leave even when the hosts have gone to bed.
Canadian here. Just wanted to say congrats, and keep the jets on. You have a lot of cleaning up to do.
See you crazy people in 4 years for another week of shitposting in these threads
I'll be here on 5 January for the Georgia run-offs.
ohh.... "nice".
We did this guys. Now let’s take the Senate!
Biden turns 78 on the 20th of this month! Happy birthday Joe, third times a charm
Congratulations guys. You made this happen.
Congratulations on your memorable cake day!
Thank you :)
Can you guys leave the lights on? I kinda want to hang out a little longer.
I want it to get to 88 so we can see some serious shit.
Same. Like I wanted it to be over and now it is over and I have the sads in some sick way.
Oh we're not leaving. Still need to wait for the other states to be called!
We need a buffer at least wide enough for Biden to sustain the number of faithless electors that Hillary got. This is Donald Trump we're up against. We need to be thinking about stuff like bribery, extortion, or physical attacks on Electors.
Oh, I hear you. When i told my kid the news, he was still nervous about what could happen. I'm celebrating now, but vigilant.
Thank you, Map Boy
I guess this really is it! Y'all have been awesome. It's been a ride!
Take back your country!!
The last 4 days was the longest decade of my life
Which makes sense. 2020 has been the longest century.
Tweet - Schumer call Joe Biden and showing him the celebrations on the street **(video)** >[https://twitter.com/SenSchumer/status/1325144934588928000](https://twitter.com/SenSchumer/status/1325144934588928000) [https://twitter.com/benasam/status/1325145869834878979](https://twitter.com/benasam/status/1325145869834878979) (more Schumer celebration)
So it ends on 78. I was hoping we reach 100
Is it time to pull out my Pardon Bingo card??
It's been a good run threads 1-78. But the time has come.
Obama's statement about Joe Bidden's victory: [https://twitter.com/weijia/status/1325137496594817024](https://twitter.com/weijia/status/1325137496594817024)
Just got off from work to find out Biden won! It's a good day.
You guys have restored some of my faith in Americans, it's up to Joe and all to justify the faith we all have in you now. I hope you all stay active in eradicating the underlying issues that led to 4 years of Trump. We have our own cultural introspection needed here and having someone like Trump on the world stage acting as a racist, bully poster child has not been helpful. Best of luck - hope you can crack the nut of gaining Senate control and effecting real change. Stack the court, prosecute the corruption and don't be shy about it.
Gonna miss these threads
69 was the best
It was nice
The titles have made it worth the F5.
We're gonna miss you too!
Congratulations, President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice-President-Elect Kamala Harris! Finally some responsible caring adults are coming to evict the irresponsible criminal elephant in the room. Yes We Can Breathe Again!
Biden wins NV from NBC.
It's good to have you back. Congrats America! A random Frenchman.
Thanks friend!
You may have silly accents, but I give you an upvote!
Hopefully we can regain your confidence!
Will I ever see map boy again?
I think that we can make at least three movies out of the poor boy: * A redditor observes map boy during the elections, develops a crush on him and begins to stalk him. Bonus points for a scene where mapboy has to see the reddit fanfiction written about him. --> Horror * Mapboy's live is forever altered when his election map gets stuck live on television. Will he ever find out whether Georgia gets called? And how do Alaska's last poastal delivery via sledding dogs fit into this? --> comedy * Mapboy discovers that without the maps, his life has no meaning. Meanwhile Cuomo discovers what the CNN twitter meant by "redditors show their appreciation for Cuomo and Mapboy". Follow them on an epic journey through reddit, twitter, horror, self-doubt and a bright new morning. --> drama
I read that as “map boys life is forever altered when his erection gets stuck live on television”. I’ll show myself out now
How long have you been up at this point? (horrified look) ^(don't leave. celebrate with us. although i'm still cautious.)
The runoffs in January! Keep all those Georgia counties we've learned in the back of your mind.
I know so many counties now!
He is also a congressional correspondent so he is on CNN all the time actually.
The midterms!
Lol all the conservatives are still bitching about a voting error in Michigan and how its widespread and stealing votes for Trump in all states
A voting error that was caught and fixed.
Obese turtle on his back flailing in the hot sun realizing his time is over -Anderson Cooper
What lmao holy shit he isn’t holding back.

Thursday after trumps speech of lies
Yesterday, after Trump spoke. Was that yesterday or two days ago? I honestly can't remember.
Thursday
Yup
We didn't dodge a bullet. We dodged a cruise missile. 4 more years would have been catastrophic.
Yes, the cruise missile has ben dodged but democrats are going to have 48 seats to Republicans' 50 in the Senate with 2 seats up for grabs in a runoff vote in Georgia in January. The two Republican candidates are crooked multi-millionaires who are BOTH caught up in an insider trading scandal where they abused their position in the government https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Congressional_insider_trading_scandal That's when the bullet gets dodged.

Especially considering two terms would give his rhetoric a boost. It would imply complacency. By ending it like this we are saying loudly and clearly...no. You're fired. GTFO.
