How is this worse than Trump asking for donations for his supposed legal fund?

Which, by the way, as of today he has now bumped it up to 75% of the money going to non-legal fund things of his, up from 60% earlier.

oh i totally consider that a wtf joke by trump too. completely out of touch and ridiculous that he raised money for legal funds for the aftermath of his campaign, that's all kinds of fucked up. but it going to non-legal things is totally entertaining and exactly what you should expect! great job donors~

Technically speaking if he had lost GA and PA he would still be at 270 right now, which is the absolute minimum required to win (Trump would have 268).

not dumb at all, been two weeks or so and our system is a puzzle. from what i remember the main 5 went...

Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, Penn, Michigan.
Trump needs at least 2 of the above, with PA + 1 other as the main centerpiece. as is, looks like he's lost all of them and GA gives Biden very good insurance.

Pennsylvania would have been enough on its own (assuming the results weren't overturned somehow), but nobody would have considered that an "upset" prior to Trump outdoing expectations on Election Day.

The last Arizona lawsuit was just thrown out of court "with prejudice" and the judge notes that Trump's team wasn't even close to a victory. Also Maricopa county election board (4R's 1 D) has certified the results of the vote.

I *think* the last one was thrown out today. I want to check again but I had read a couple of place (on Twitter, so take it with a grain of salt obviously) that the one that got tossed today was the last one pending.

Looks like the Michigan GOPs invitation to the white house did nothing, and they intend to certify Biden's win.

Trump couldn't even get a bribe right.

Eh, I think it's different. Trump's begging for money while still president. Biden isn't president yet and is missing out on many key sources for his transition, thanks to Trump, so still taking donations doesn't seem very egregious.

there's a few differences to it but i'll agree with the general conclusion that it's concerning.

going 'gimme money for lawyers for the upcoming election,' is fucked up in one way and distinct from 'gimme money for ??? for the upcoming transition.' i mean that's fucked up but in a different way and just as tone deaf, though it comes from someone who pretends to care a little more. i'm also not sure what the money is supposed to be for either, like there's a mysterious void of "transition team."

my personal red flag on this is just who's donating, though that's somewhere behind me laughing at a glorified presidential kickstarter.

also a fair one.
i view the funding for lawyers as worse than ??? because it's lawyers for something that you should just be trying to win outright, not through the courts.

that said i don't see the donations here for key positions since there ain't that much needed and frankly, wall street donated a ton of money to him already and will continue to do so. like you don't quit your job in November for a position in January.

If you mean from 2016, Biden needed to pick up 38 electoral votes. There are 20 in PA, 16 in MI, 16 in GA, 11 in AZ, and 10 in WI. On the non-attained list, there are 38 in TX, 29 in FL, 18 in OH, and 15 in NC.

Yes, that means that Hillary would have won 2016 if California had ceded Los Angeles County to Texas for one day.

why.
like getting ANY assessment like this right now is completely unprecedented in the first place. does say the mockery trump got for saying we'd get this in October or November was entirely unfair because he was proven right but they're already going at a ridiculous speed.

On a related note, anybody taking the claims by pharmaceutical companies at face value should recheck their bullshit meter. "If it sounds too good to be true, it is" should remain the mantra. 90%, 91%, 94%, only start believing it when independent reviews are done and we've a preliminary idea of what side effects exist. Never trust drug companies or their numbers.

It's honestly kind of strange to see Trump try to prolong the inevitable only to embarrass himself even further every step of the way.

I also ran into someone on YT who insisted that Trump could not have possibly lost the election because he had "historic" voter support, and then he said that Trump was looking good for re-election because his stats for the economy and his popularity were "average" (is this referring to pre-pandemic?) plus something else I don't remember. This all sounds so stupid the more I process it. I think Trump's base is not even just delusional, they're outright masters of self-projection. They assume Biden's inability to draw crowds compared to Trump should have been an indicator of an imminent loss without realizing that there are more ways to campaign than just holding constant rallies. They make up the idea of "Trump Derangement Syndrome", but they arguably act even worse just at the thought of a Democrat winning the election. What world do these people live in?

I think America just rejected Trump full-stop. Even if he runs again in 2024, so many people will vote against him that he can't win.

This is what clinical trials are, dude. They have to include independent review, otherwise it would just be companies going "yep, checks out!" and the government okaying them for use. In this case the NIH was involved from the start so at least update your conspiracy theory to the government being complicit in the lie.
