Text of a statement from President Donald Trump on the election result:
Quote:
“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.
“Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access.
So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.”

Yeah the math doesn’t seem all that sweet on that graph. 5% decrease of white male votes outweighed an increase in every other demographic in America?
Yeah you need the context for it... Percentage of what? Which states? Polling walk up votes or mail in? It's just a bunch of numbers the way it's been posted.
But who knows, maybe black people actually love trump, and the only reason he lost is because the democrats cheated. That's much more likely.
Indigenous people in Arizona comprise nearly 6% of the population — 424,955 people as of 2018 — and eligible voters on the Navajo Nation alone number around 67,000. Currently, the margin between Democratic candidate Joe Biden — who has released a robust policy plan for Indian Country — and incumbent President Donald Trump is just under 41,000 as of Friday morning.
Precinct-level data shows that outside of heavily blue metropolitan areas like Phoenix and Tucson, which also have high numbers of Indigenous voters, much of the rural blue islands that have voted for Biden and Mark Kelly, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, are on tribal lands. On some Tohono O’odham Nation precincts, Biden and Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris won 98% of the vote. As reported Thursday by the Navajo Times, the three counties that overlap with the Hopi Tribe and Navajo Nation gave Biden 73,954 votes, and just 2,010 for Trump, a rate of 97% for Biden as opposed to 51% statewide.
Republicans in power need to step up now and tell Trump to shut the fuck up and take it like a man. Do they really want to be associated with this sinking ship where there's no way he can win but you try and change the outcome anyways?
Text of a statement from President Donald Trump on the election result:
Thanks for the comedy. "What are they hiding" is what is said about literally every whackjob conspiracy theory ever. From Area 51 to 911 to Qanon to Coronavirus and now this.
It's always the same people, just that this time one of them became president
Meanwhile, 150 miles away in Philadelphia, Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, was fighting on, appearing at a press conference outside a landscaping firm that shared a named with The Four Seasons hotel, causing confusion throughout the morning.
How refreshing is it to hear someone talk as president of the USA and not just focus on how BIG everything is, constantly lie, call people derisive names, claim they did it all by themselves and, most of all, NOT say "like nobody's ever seen before" anywhere in their speech.
I may not love Biden, but fuck you Donald and fuck off!!

It's amazing to witness the catharsis of an entire nation, through TV, social media, gatherings... Like I said before, I don't think Biden is going to "fix everything" but things were so off the rails with Trump, you can already tell that people are hopeful for the first time in many months.
I don't think the country would have survived another 4 years under Trump. Something really bad seems inevitable... Can't even put my finger on what, but it wouldn't be good.
It's still dangerous if Trump continues to incite his people. Whoever wrote that statement for him that welfare posted is a bit better than what he's been saying himself, but the best case scenario is he just goes away silently and forever. The next time we hear from him should be in front of a judge.

Good campaigning by Trump there. 800 more people voted than in 2016, and they were all for him, and some people flipped
Also good time to point out that "Latino" isn't some monolithic culture... Some are conservative, some are not. Some are crazy Trumptards, some are not. Some work in industries, like natural gas, and oil fields, where they will vote for the person think will protect that industry. There are trends, and overall they tend to vote Democratic outside Florida.
He will rejoin the Paris climate accords, according to those close to his campaign and commitments he has made in recent months, and he will reverse President Trump’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization. He will repeal the ban on immigration from many Muslim-majority countries, and he will reinstate the program allowing “dreamers,” who were brought to the United States illegally as children, to remain in the country, according to people familiar with his plans.
