What term would you prefer?

Its just a joke on the President's press conference. He said "Biden wants to count all the votes, I say we count all the "legal" votes." or something dumb like that.

LOL ... Trump’s such a dumbass. I wish people would just ignore him. The reaction to his insanity often causes more harm than any of the absurd things that he says, IMO.

In Georgia, where Trump’s lead over Biden has shrunk to 3,486, only 18,936 ballots remain uncounted, according to Jordan Fuchs, the deputy secretary of state. See

Biden continues to gain ground in Georgia. Trump now leads there by just 2,497 votes. See Georgia results ›

Biden is going to win PA.

Ben Sasse’s denouncement:

“It’s pretty simple: Millions of Americans voted in a peaceful election and there’s not a winner until all the legally cast votes are counted.”

Lol.

Sasse pisses me off. He's a self-styled moderate who blatantly compromised his values and failed to check Trump's power at multiple turns.

votes. Legal votes gives winks at the credibility of Trump's bullshit conspiracy theories. When you mention counting votes you shouldn't have to qualify the term as legal votes instead of illegal ones. It's a given.

This is what I’m talking about when I say the reaction causes more harm than what Trump says. Who gives a crap whether he uses the term legal or not? If everyone agrees that only legal votes should count, there’s no harm in stating it. The focus should be on his appalling, and clearly false, claim that legal votes are illegal ... not on the fact that he used the term legal.

But Instead of criticizing the actually harmful thing he says, we’re caught again in a semantic game regarding whether the phrase “legal votes” is some kind of stupid dog whistle to Trump supporters.

Let’s count all the votes that weren’t cast by monkeys in trench coats pretending to be human.

I assume he is on a yacht, or golfing, or . . .

Seriously though where's Ted.

He's probably grabbed some firearms and joined his militia buddies at a facility where recounts occur.

Biden is down 1800 in GA right now. Pretty soon Clayton County, which is going 85% Biden, is going to release another 4,000 votes. I think Biden takes the lead tonight before GA calls it a day.

One theory I heard was that because Trump kept conflating mail in votes with fraud, he dampened the votes he could have received in that mode. Some of those went to the polls, but how many didn't? It would be funny to learn that's the reason he lost.
