Karl Rove says this election is all over except the acceptance. He's more Rep Est. than Trumper but he does know polls and politics.
If that link is firewalled, below are some fair use excerpts. And I always like it when factoids align with common sense:
But the nature of this enthusiasm differed by party. The Fox News Voter Analysis found 51% of Biden supporters voted more against Mr. Trump than for the Democratic candidate, while 79% of Mr. Trump’s backers voted more for him than against Mr. Biden.
That suggests Biden may not be drawing in a deep well of personal support as he vexes us with policy announcements. On the other hand, he will satisfy half his voters if he can wake up in the morning and NOT be Trump. OK, "waking up" may not be easy (and how would we tell?) but Joe can handle the next bit.
More:
Mr. Trump is now pursuing legal challenges in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and Nevada, and there will be an automatic recount in Georgia, given Mr. Biden’s 0.29-point lead there. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is correct that Mr. Trump is “100% within his rights” to go to court over concerns about fraud and transparency. But the president’s efforts are unlikely to move a single state from Mr. Biden’s column, and certainly they’re not enough to change the final outcome.
There are only three statewide contests in the past half-century in which recounts changed the outcome: the 1974 New Hampshire Senate race, the 2004 Washington governor’s contest, and the 2008 Minnesota Senate election. The candidates in these races were separated, respectively, by 355, 261 and 215 votes after Election Day.
These margins aren’t much like today’s. Mr. Biden led Wednesday in Wisconsin by 20,540 votes, Pennsylvania by 49,064, Michigan by 146,123, Arizona by 12,614, Nevada by 36,870 and Georgia by 14,108.
And
To win, Mr. Trump must prove systemic fraud, with illegal votes in the tens of thousands. There is no evidence of that so far. Unless some emerges quickly, the president’s chances in court will decline precipitously when states start certifying results, as Georgia will on Nov. 20, followed by Pennsylvania and Michigan on Nov. 23, Arizona on Nov. 30, and Wisconsin and Nevada on Dec. 1. By seating one candidate’s electors, these certifications will raise the legal bar to overturn state results and make it even more difficult for Mr. Trump to prevail before the Electoral College meets Dec. 14.
TV networks showed jubilant crowds in major cities celebrating Mr. Biden’s victory; they didn’t show the nearly equal number of people who mourned Mr. Trump’s defeat. U.S. politics remains polarized and venomous. Closing out this election will be a hard but necessary step toward restoring some unity and political equilibrium. Once his days in court are over, the president should do his part to unite the country by leading a peaceful transition and letting grievances go.
I don't think his departing idea that Trump should let grievances go is a serious suggestion reflecting his understanding of the man. I am not sure of his goal there.
UPDATE: Legal hard case John Yoo is bringing the cold water:
“He has the right to mount legal challenges, but we should be clear that these are Hail Mary passes we might think of in American football".
Doug Flutie! But several times over, since Trump needs to flip several states.
“None of these cases really look like they have a very high probability of winning,” Yoo said. “On the other hand, I think that Trump has every right to and demand that all the states be sure about the votes, so that we all have confidence in the election. But I’ll say, looking at past cases, these are very hard cases to prove and generally they don’t result in changes in the votes totals on the order by which President Trump lost to Joe Biden.”
Well. Rep Est. is circling. As they should, BTW, and for the 2015 establishment survivors this election was Liberation Day. Or week.
Thanks TM!

But they didn't think they'd need to steal from them, or Miami, did they?
* who would have guessed these heavily Hispanic counties would support jobs and not having illegals/criminals streaming through their communities???
The poor NPR reporter just couldn't figure out what happened. She had to cross to Mexico to get to a emigration holding camp to find a Hispanic who was happy Biden had won!

TM, thanks for the new thread, but your post is an embarrassment.
As is your chuckling over the prospect of a Biden presidency. You keep thinking there’s some mythical moderate center where decent people will govern responsibly.
There is not! There hasn’t been for decades. There has been the illusion of a center but that center is a goddamn lie. That center is a hideously failed foreign policy and ever more “expert” management of the economy and regulations and taxes without any accountability, ever, when the experts are wrong as they nearly always are.
You may think Trump is a rude, impulsive a-hole. He may even actually be one. But he’s still done far more good for the people of this country in 4 years than his predecessors did in the previous 28, and if you can’t see that you are just willfully blind and a fool.

TM knows he's now a supporter of craven crooks because, for him, they're a better choice than the people would have made if their true votes were counted. It has to be difficult, summoning up an air of confidence as you face the world, when you know you're a fraud.

Rove is wrong to say there is no evidence of the kind of systemic fraud likely to result in Trump winning. The problem is that the evidence is not likely to convince state and federal courts to avoid overturning the result in enough states to get Trump to 270. Nonetheless, it is worth Trump's effort to expose the Dem fraud machine and help counteract it in the future. It is also worth the effort the keep support for the anti-oligarchy efforts of Trump and others.

A-mom, there is certainly a whole lot of smoke and heat developing in every corner of the Stolen Election. And like everyone else here, I find it satisfying to burrow down into this or that analysis of one theft or another. The eyes boggle and the brazeness of the thieves.
BUT I must remain from Missouri regarding whether it will actually pan out into a changed outcome.
I suppose my POV is the culmination of years, decades, of digging down into the weeds of whatever battle was raging...from Libby to Stevens...to WMD...Flynn...the Coup...to - just name one of dozens. In so many of those struggles, we all saw tons of "proof" and "righteousness" and evidence in the tea leaves that in the end justice would prevail. But except for Bush v Gore in SCOTUS, and Trump 2016, every damn one of them went the way of the Deep State. (And even Trump 2016 was watered down by the full court press assembled to deny him the full right to govern; and Bush turned out to be working for the other side too.)

Mel, TSH is not a total of T3 and T4.
TSH is Thyroid STIMULATING hormone, it is made in the pituitary gland. When it gets to the thyroid, that gland is stimulated and makes T3 and T4, and those hormones are what then have biologic consequences--when when too high, the agitation, palpitations, weight loss, etc.
Normally TSH is 2-4 in most labs.
Since it's a feedback loop between the pituitary and the thyroid, in Graves, where the thyroid is making hormone from the autoimmune antibody stimulation (not TSH stimulation), TSH is often undetectable because the high levels of T3 and T4 serve to turn its production by the pituitary gland off completely.

My younger daughter was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis a couple of months ago (turns out six months of lying on your bed isn't good for pubescent girls who already have a weight problem).
She has been on levothyroxine for two months and they just upped the dosage because her TSH (having been previously extremely elevated) is still elevated.
It has already helped though - she's gotten her pink cheeks back, and seems to have a bit more energy. Weight loss is going to be a major challenge.

And this has me tied up in knots:
https://sentinelksmo.org/students-physicians-detail-detrimental-effects-of-school-lockdowns/
Aly Arenholz, an 8th grader at Frontier Trail Middle School in Olathe, asked Olathe high school and middle school students to take a survey regarding the current “hybrid” model used by the school district as a result of school lockdowns — 1,778 students responded.
At a Kansas State Board of Education Meeting Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2020, three Olathe siblings read some of those responses. The students and several physicians implored board members to order schools re-opened for full-time in-person learning but their pleas went nowhere. Instead, board members discussed the possibility of reducing minimum education requirements; that might appease the concerns of adults working in schools but comments from students indicate it would make the educational and emotional situation worse for students.
“Every single day I wake up and I don’t want to wake up, I feel like every day is the same thing and it gets harder and harder with every passing second,” Regan Stelting, an Olathe South freshman read. “There’s nothing enjoyable about this experience and I’d rather drop out and prepare for college rather than spend one more second being a puppet for this unreliable and unbelievable school district that not only has ruined my senior year, but ruthlessly dragged it through the mud and stomped on it until it couldn’t handle it anymore.
“Nothing about my life is positive right now and there is nobody to blame except the school district and their bogus decisions. Listen to your students, they know more than anybody about what it’s like to go through this.”
Those comments were echoed by many students in the survey, who seemed to almost universally dislike the virtual environment, and are reporting troubling Issues with performance and mental health.
Regan’s brother, Carter, a junior at OSHS, said: “Of the total respondents, 82% have felt stressed, 61% felt frustrated, and 57% felt lonely. One student responded ‘I want to go to school. I want to learn. Sitting for hours on end alone in silence leaves me with no self-value. It’s depressing.’
We're trying to decide what to do right now, but going back to work when my Achilles heals might not be on the table. Our HS freshman is doing fine grade-wise, but being home alone all day doesn't seem healthy or wise.

Very long thread, dissection of the Fed interview of the postal worker. Exposes manipulation by Feds.
https://twitter.com/mcadoogordon/status/1326655155207540739?s=21
Thanks, Henry.
McAdoo’s very, very long tweet stream is more arm waving than anything else. Unfortunately OKeefe got a not so solid witness who admitted that Project Viertas lawyers wrote the affidavit that he thinks embellished what actually happened. McAdoo has no problem with PV putting words into his mouth but has a tizzy when the inspector does something similar after walking him through his statement.
I think the major butthurt is that our side doesn’t seem to have any capable federal investigators to do a similar investigation that favors our interest.
The investigator says he thought that the postal worker had more details on where the ballots went after they were turned into the supervisor. The postal worker had no clue. My impression was that the two investigators were there to follow all leads but they needed some real dirt from the whistleblower. It soon became clear that the WB didn’t have the goods. What he did have was put into the revised affidavit as well as the written statement that he worked on while in the “interrogation” room. The lead investigator actuality wanted to make sure he included the one specific detail that set the WB off in the first place. The WB was suspicious, prior to the dozen words he overheard, because the ballots they picked up should have gone directly to Pittsburgh(?) for postmarking but, instead, the were being pulled out of the normal process and being turned over to the local supervisor.
The investigators took an interest in this and my estimate from watching the video is that they planned on following up on it after they were certain about what the WB actually knew. Ultimately he is their witness should they find foul play.
As it stands right now, PV has decided to portray the investigators as gestappo. And they have compounded it by claiming that the lead investigator has a secret never Trump twitter. Has that been proven yet?
If I was one of the investigators I would really question whether I was going to dig deep or not after PV’s reaction.
One thing in PV’s favor is a subsequent video where OKeefe is trashing some WaPo oaf who is on Anderson Poopershooter’s show stating that the WB has recanted his affidavit. OKeefe wants to know how they knew that. Someone leaked something.
Hopefully, for PV’s sake, they win the battle by proving that the investigator is a ghost NeverTrumper, because they aren’t going to win it with this particular witness.

The students and several physicians implored board members to order schools re-opened for full-time in-person learning but their pleas went nowhere. Instead, board members discussed the possibility of reducing minimum education requirements
In all seriousness, I don't see how shooting the school board members who suggested "reducing minimum education requirements" would be a bad thing, on any level.

There are a lot of cases in the pipeline which have not yet been filed or heard. I'm with Jin, if the cases are strong enough no matter what the courts decide , the state legislatures can and may act to hand their state's electors to Trump.
I see no other way to stop vote fraud. There may well be hundreds of criminal cases against the fraudsters, but that is insufficient remedy.

I know, JamesD. And they wonder why there was a red wave down ticket. I've talked to so many parents who are beyond angry.

Joan, sorry to hear about what you are going through.
My one brother has more liberal friends than any of the rest of us combined. As these people try to froth vile uninformed political garbage at him, he cuts them off and asks “if I were to show you proof of voter fraud, would you care? If not, then we can talk about the weather or books.”
He says it diffuses them quickly.

Peter, I missed your results. Are you okay?
Gonna take awhile to get everything back where it belongs!

I wanted to second, I think it was, ManTran's suggestion to watch "The Queen's Gambit" if you still have Netflix. We just finished it last night and it was an unexpected pleasure - great story, good acting, and visually gorgeous. I got so attached to the main character that I actually said out loud several times, Oh don't do it, when she was about to engage in self-destructive behavior. I don't do that normally.

I knew Rove slightly through College Republicans, back in the 70s. The last time I saw him, I was ripping him a new one. As I turned to go, he asked "Are you calling me a skunk?", and a friend of mine replied "He's right, Karl. You do suck."

"I see no other way to stop vote fraud."
Thing is...if the standard of a community is such that hundreds of murders are OK without consequence, and if dozens of stores can be looted by BLM without consequence, and if powerful government officials can use machinery owned by the State to spy on citizens and candidates without consequence, and if everybody related to a high government official can amass millions in wealth without consequence, indeed if more that half the population finds glee in any act that advances their side against the rights of the other side...then why would anybody expect voter fraud to get their attention?

Yes property taxes in NY NJ CT are sky high compared to the rest of the country.
Is there any part of the country where property taxes are low? Ohio generally has low housing prices compared to either coasts but the property taxes have exploded, to finance the dogshit public schools, to the point where they exceed the original mortgage.
Maybe lyle's state or Wyoming...

Cap'n. Start by looking for states that are well run and spend the least amounts running their governments. Math dictates that those states will have the lowest totals of Income, Property & Sales taxes.

I maintain a few spreadsheets to make my life easier. One to compute quarterly estimated taxes, one that helps manage cash flow (to the degree Mrs.Buckeye will cooperate:)), and a third that roughly calculates net worth.
The net worth spreadsheet includes cash on hand, investments, real estate, collectibles, other tangible assets, etc.
Every category has improved dramatically in the last 4 years, and each is at an all time high.
I challenge TM to make rough estimate of where he stands today, and then post the percentage change from today to 11/12/2024 in 4 years.
We will see how good this Harris/Biden admin does.

OL,
My point was that I don't think they're low, per se, anywhere. They've always been a retro 18th century concept of financing things from when only property owners could vote. That they still exist in any form is an abomination. But with our current problems they're low on the priority list.
To wit
Why are they afraid we're going to swamp His Fraudulency's not-gonna-happen inauguration? Why would the recipient of the most popular votes in history fret about being unpopular compared to the loser? Because they, like we, know Trump won in a huge red wave. Biden's support is vaporware! Screw up your courage to the sticking point. Peacefully protest your statehouse if you live in PA, GA, MI, AZ, or WI. Don't give in to their gaslighting!

Fundamental rule of war is to identify enemy.

Maybe it's like this ...
Police arrived in time to prevent complete cremation of the body. The the serial number on a titanium implant identified the victim, but cause of death could not be determined.
The 2 known gang members captured at the scene were found to have one knife and one baseball bat with the victim's blood on them.
No way to know how many times the knife stabbed the victim, nor how many blows were administered with the bat, nor if any injury was fatal.
Murder beyond reasonable doubt? ... Some say no.

CH @ 9:56
an unqualified cop who his fellow officers didn't want to work with, hired ONLY because he was Somali.
I said it at the time, and it's still true. Every single person in Noor's chain of command, or who signed off on his training or his hiring, should have been a defendant at the murder trial right alongside him. They are all guilty, and the blood of Justine Dimond - and a lot of other innocent people - is on all their hands.
