I think you both are putting a bit too much weight on that report. The report is what it is. With all due respect, I absolutely put more weight into it than assumptions, guesses and suppositions from members of this forum. Sure, I didn't have an inside seat on that event. I wouldn't know what I was talking about, not a thing.

Someone on the right finally starting to nudge Don to concede “There are only three statewide contests in the past half-century in which recounts changed the outcome: the 1974 New Hampshire Senate race, the 2004 Washington governor’s contest, and the 2008 Minnesota Senate election. The candidates in these races were separated, respectively, by 355, 261 and 215 votes after Election Day.” Karl Rove www.wsj.com/articles/this-election-result-wont-be-overturned-11605134335Lawsuits are now 0-16 with rookie poll worker affidavits becoming a running joke. A third poll watcher noticed that when absentee ballots came in from military personnel, many showed votes for Democrats. He found that odd. “I can estimate that at least 80% of military ballots I saw were straight ticket Democrat or simply had Joe Biden’s name filled in on them,” the man wrote. “I had always been told that military people tended to be conservative, so this stuck out to me.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/michigan--poll-watcher-affidavits/2020/11/11/4d073d7a-2447-11eb-a688-5298ad5d580a_story.html

That’s another ~ 30 days for Trump. Sure, it may not change a thing, but you never know until the legal process has completed

Hey Barker, your climate buddy Gore contested the election results until December 13th. That’s another ~ 30 days for Trump. Sure, it may not change a thing, but you never know until the legal process has completed That was one state with a couple hundred votes separating them and would decide the election. Trump is now losing to Biden by... 20,539 votes in Wisconsin 47,215 votes in Pennsylvania 12,567 votes in Georgia 14,746 votes in Arizona 36,274 votes in Nevada Trump needs to flip 3 or more of these to win. These are not margins that get undone in recounts.

Something tells me that history is not going to be kind to the don.

Many more reports coming out about him slowly accepting the outcome and planning his future. These include staying in the limelight and retaining his grip on the GOP and/or starting a subscription digital news platform to challenge Fox.

Since you like to ask this question, I’ll ask it of you...against the backdrop of the US having its highest daily death count since May yesterday and by all indications the spread is accelerating, what specifically would you be advising Biden to do when he assumes office?

Not all 70m are sycophants, but there are certainly a lot of them in congress and at various levels throughout fed and local govt and a bunch of them here too.

With a less than 2% chance of dying, I would take my chances. I don't understand the fixation of needing the government to dictate what you can and can't do. If you are old, at high risk, or scared then by all means don't go outside, don't go out in public. This whole fairytale of being told we need to stay home for four to six weeks and that we will be compensated is a load of shit, really. Nothing is going to stop it or slow it or whatever you want to call it. People are generally well within a few days and 98% do not die. I don't get why this is such a big deal. What is really going on "behind the scenes" that the government and media are deciding to make this the "look over here" story that it has become?

For starters, I would expect him to honestly crunch the numbers of what this proposal would actually cost. Shutting everything down for 4 to 6 weeks and paying everyone salaries PLUS financial support for small and mid sized businesses for lost revenues would make the initial CArES $5trillion look like chump change. But sure, the US can just borrow it all! From where, China?
