So when should we hang on his words, vs ignore them? Apparently there's a manual that people aren't reading.

Even if Biden pulls ahead, we're talking a virtual tie kind of situation where recounts and lawsuits will happen (so long as Georgia is important).

Arizona - Bare minimum reported again last night; Trump gained a total of more than 24,000 votes and is now down just under 69,000. Arizona is not expected to report more votes until tonight and I would expect the amount to be similar. We're on a pace like Georgia, but in reverse this time w/ Trump catching up.

Nevada - We're supposed to have all the votes at noon ET. This is the state that should move the fastest. The vote that's out is the same kind vote that is out in Arizona but much less of it; so could narrow the gap.

Pennsylvania - They just started counting ballots again and will be dumping them soon in small batches. Philadelphia has a lot of outstanding vote, Pittsburgh has some and the Rurals have the rest. IF the margins of this vote today are the same as yesterday, Trump will get passed today and that will be that. But surprises; ya know.

Trump is planning to file lawsuits in GA, PA, NV, MI, Sector 7-G, Zimbabwe, The Moon, Betelguese ... anywhere else?

Ha ... I think his last update above was the last actual update. Nothing else has happened yet. NV should be announced in an hour.

I said don't listen to them but others are (aka those that are half triggered in this thread)...because people are dumb.

You just argued against yourself. People do hang on his words, they don’t ignore them. That’s the whole problem

See above, it's what I've been saying. Stop hanging on his words but there are people that do, because they are dumb and will believe anything.

Ok, I thought you were saying it wasn’t a big deal that he’s spreading conspiracy theories and that people are believing him.

A lot of people are taking his message to heart and believe this election is a scam and a fraud. That is insanely dangerous for a politician to say and here we are having the President say it. How people are okay with this is beyond me. It's dangerous and highly unethical.

I do fully expect an investigation in some of these states and if it's found to be Biden won legit, then he won, whatever, life goes on. You may have a few really upset republicans but it'll pass because we're not whiny little babies. I doubt you'll see any destruction or a ton of social media outrage. If its fair we grin and bear it and try better next time. But Mike isn't wrong with what he said, i just think republicans are better than that. Many dems should take a look.

I don't think so. You don't think Fox is going to have a field day with this? The dumb pubs will eat this up and run with it like the left. They already did it with the SCOTUS.

The one thing I respect Trump for is taking on the msm. It dictates so many peoples thinking it's amazing

I mean essentially it has come to that. Yes, but even if that is the case. Someone eventually has to be the mature adult bigger person, and I believe that to be the republicans. Dem or not, you can't say how they treated trump on really no basis wasn't disgusting? The division started there

I don't care if he says the Earth is flat. Are there people that would believe that, yes...because dumb people.

Right. So his words are dangerous.

Of course they'll appeal to some, and they need to try for ratings, but i just dont see the violence in the streets or much anything dirty coming from the right. Big difference

Aaaaaaaand we're off the rails again

Not his fault if people are dumb. He's dumb too but if someone hangs on his words or actions, that's on them.

I hope Biden wins PA, NV and AZ. If not it will be a S show for the next 4 years regardless of who is the ultimate winner. The losing side will never accept it as legitimate (which is probably where we are anyway even if Biden wins all the states left).

So are you saying it's dangerous for someone to make sure that the rules are being followed in the elections?

So who gets to determine who is the "mature adult"? You? Well, I'd disagree with you because you espouse views that just continue to work against the greater good. Me? Well, you'd disagree with me because it doesn't fit your ideology.

Please let me know where you got that list of riot participants, along with their affiliated political party. I need a copy of it.

Truth, even those that tweet things out.

Trump for all his issues is a master in human behavior.

Okay just tell me this, and be honest. Alot of major cities sadly had to board up their windows and are missing out on business in preparation for election results, who are the majority of voters in these metropolitan areas? Democrats no? So you mean to tell me all these good ol boys are driving all the way out from their rural areas to go mess these cities up? Hmm the logic doesn't add up. Carry on

Historically speaking, has anything bad ever happened after dumb people hung onto the words of a leader?
