Trump Versus Biden

[SGOS]

Biden leads in Georgia this morning.  Georgia!  That's almost bigger news than him winning the election.

Well, I was expecting him to declare cheating and all, BUT did he just say interference by 'the big media, big money and big tech?! Holly molly cockwrappers... He really knows his base, doesn't he?

Hmmmm...................'cockwrappers'.............hadn't heard that one before. :)))

No, but it gets the point across.

Breaking News: Joe Biden has taken the lead in Pennsylvania as the state continues to tally votes. A win there would give him a majority of electoral votes.

In the wee hours of election night when I scanned the map for data on states, Trump was 6 points ahead in Pennsylvania (or was it 8 points).  This year in some ways resembles 2016, which hourly diary went something like:

09 PM Hillary projected to win!
10 PM Hillary projected to win!
11 PM Hillary projected to win! 
12 AM Hillary projected to win!
01 AM Hillary projected to win!
02 AM Hillary projected to win!
03 AM Hillary projected to win!
04 AM Trump wins election!

Well, I guess when it comes down to it, it's quite different.  The only similarity being the end may surprise us.

In all other presidential elections both the winner and the loser have called for unity.  They probably seldom mean it, but at least they say it.  I don't see that happening this year.  Win or lose, Trump will continue trying to divide the country, because that's what he thrives on.  That's about my only prediction for the next four years.

I am concerned that if Biden wins, trump will call out the dogs--he will urge his white nationalist friends to violence.  He may think being able to declare martial law, or something like it, will allow him to be frozen in his presidency for awhile.  He may hope that that would keep him out of jail--and he'd have nothing to lose by trying it.

Not in 1860.  Not in 1800.  Rose colored glasses you wear.

He's projecting his own morality onto others, and it's something he does frequently.  It's not an uncommon human psychological defense mechanism.  People do it, usually at an unconscious level,  but projecting one's own faults onto others must be something in the Guidebook For Good Republicans, because they seem to have elevated it to an art form.  I always wonder if they are aware of it and doing it with forethought, or if they do it without knowing.  It doesn't make any difference.  It's offensive either way.

Traditionally, Republicans have gotten their financial support from corporations, but in the case of Trump, I suspect he has experienced a falloff from his corporate donors, who don't expect him to be around much longer.  It would make more financial sense for CEOs to give that money to senators, because Trump's chances for election have always been iffy. 

As far as cheating, it's always suspected, even by both parties, but until there is actual evidence, no one knows if it happens or not.  If Trump had evidence, he would give it now.  Politicians are great at making claims, but not so good at actually proving anything.  I suppose they don't need proof.  Poisoning the well is enough for their purposes.  False information throws voters into confusion, and that's all they need.

Bill and Hillary got no money from Wall Street ;-)

Most of the protests seem to agree that all the votes should be counted, but the composition of each protest seems to vary inversely with which candidate is doing better at any particular time.

Rule by Mob.  Irish mob, Italian mob etc.

Is Turkish media free and fair?  Media are degenerate grifters.

Potty mouth?

Interesting...

There are calls for a Trump dictatorship ... I am hoping it won't happen.  Being forced to read every Presidential tweet would be torture ;-)
