The Vegas people are busy betting and losing money. They got more important shit to do than count votes.

Skimmed past a headline that says Twitter has perma-banned Steve Bannon. What'd he tweet?

That if he were in power he'd decapitate and put the heads on pikes, two career federal employees.

Fauchi and the fbi director I believe specifically. Said it would make sure the others fell in line with the president. These people seriously salivate for dictatorship. It’s weird that decades of stories of American freedom and pride have somehow produced this mindset.

He also got banned from YouTube (?) and his lawyers just withdrew from his Build the Wall™ criminal case.

Pressure is really mounting at the networks to call the race. We should be getting another NV drop and another AZ drop soon, maybe 2 hours, and hopefully that will do it, finally. Meanwhile in Georgia, Gwinnett County finally dropped and Biden's lead roughly tripled.

what are Vegas odds on the over/under for the results time?

That might have something to do with the delay, lol

Either way, what will endure as a stark prospect for many years to come is that 70 million Americans voted for a terrible excuse for a human being to represent them on a world stage. Biden has his work cut out for him. There seem to be two America's crammed into one nation. 70,000,000. Dear lords. Staggering. They have seen this man at work for 4 years. And still they consider him the best option. Something has to give.

Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

I'd put all my money on the 7-8pm hour ET, if I had to narrow it down to one hour. 7-9 if I can widen it.

The networks know Biden has this. They're just waiting for an excuse to call NV and AZ, and the vote drops which are expected about an hour from now should give them the justification to do it. That will allow Biden and Harris to give their celebration speeches in the prime time hours.

Kornacki is saying the AZ drop from Maricopa is due at 9pm ET. I didn't know that, but the way Kornacki is talking about it ("keys to the kingdom"), everyone is expecting calls after that because it will make Trump's path to victory there all that more impossible.

God he whines! How do people respect this man. He is talking about the presidency the way a toddler talks about a toy that was taken from him.

This is the strong, powerful leader people want?

So apparently it's OK to ~~extort~~ solicit donations for an "Election Defence Fund" to stop the dirty commie libruls stealing the election ... 60% of which is going to paying off campaign debts?

Biden just declared victory, in the future tense: "We're going to win this race with a clear majority [...] We've gotten over 70 million votes [...] We will win Georgia. We will win Pennsylvania. [...] We will be the first Democrat to win Arizona in 48 (?) years..."

I think he claimed all 4 of the major states in the running.
