Man Rudy Guliani is talking about throwing away votes that were counted fraudulently under improper supervision. He says these votes can never be used. The Trump team is talking about "legally" throwing away votes in the 6 major swing states that were counted towards the Democratic nominee so they can rig the election so that Trump gets the electoral vote.
Also no one is stopping this so far. You really think he is going anywhere?

I hope the damage he's done is reversible that's for sure. Good riddance to the man who decimated all our social programs for those in need. Good riddance to a president that liked dictators more then allies who stand for democracy. Good riddance to the man that looked at my home state burning from wildfires and decided not to help because we didn't vote for him. Good riddance to a president that is willing to shoot tear gas and rubber bullets so he can look good in a picture.
Good riddance to man who never cared about covid patients infected or dead and when he got it minimized it's seriousness. Good riddance to the man who pulled us out of a worldwide last ditch attempt to reverse climate change. Good riddance to a president who lobbies for Russia, North Korea and China. Good riddance to a president that let an American be tortured only to cover it up. Good riddance to a president who declared war and people with ptsd and injuries to make it look like he was tough on opioids. I can continue but I don't have to anymore.
Now he's just a loser and one of the most damning chapter in American history. Imagine what will be in the history books about him

I'd say there's a 50% chance america will no longer be a democracy in January. Repubs are also talking about not certifying votes in entire states (not allowing biden to get 270), appointing faithless electors and other fuckery with state legislatures, etc. Just the fact that people in the highest level of government are talking openly about doing this, and half the country is screaming for it, means democracy is likely just about done here... whether it's this election or the next one.

Trump has had almost all his cases thrown out as fast as they're filed because there's still no evidence of voter fraud. Let's put this into perspective for trumpers. Biden only need 6 electoral votes to win and in Nevada ALL his lawsuits have been dismissed. Biden wins right there even if Trump sweeper the rest of the swing states which HE DIDN'T. Recounts don't change the count nearly ever. Trump banked on votes from election day and wanted all legal mail in votes to be tossed because it was obvious they were mainly Biden votes. So yes Trump WILL be out of office soon

The cutting of most social programs didn't happen under Trump, that's actually going to take place under Biden. Biden is ready to work with Republicans that want to tackle the debt, deficit, SS and Medicare. That means serious cuts are coming in the very near future.

The cutting of most social programs didn't happen under Trump, that's actually going to take place under Biden. Biden is ready to work with Republicans that want to tackle the debt, deficit, SS and Medicare. That means serious cuts are coming in the very near future.
Trump did make huge budget cuts to many social programs in his 2020 budget proposal
Here's some info
The Trump Administration’s budget plan for fiscal year 2020 mirrors last year’s in the massive cuts it proposes for core public services that help struggling individuals and families afford the basics and access health care. Although Congress has previously rejected many of these proposals, the budget merits attention, given the Administration’s continued push for these priorities and the scope of the damage the budget would do.
IF ENACTED, THESE PROPOSALS AND OTHERS IN THE BUDGET WOULD SHARPLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO LACK HEALTH COVERAGE, WHILE INCREASING POVERTY, WIDENING INCOME AND RACIAL DISPARITIES, AND DRIVING UP THE NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS THAT STRUGGLE TO AFFORD THE BASICS.The President’s budget reflects the direction in which the Administration wants to take the country through both legislative and executive actions. Indeed, while the budget’s call to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and cut Medicaid deeply likely won’t be on the congressional agenda this year, the Administration has moved forward with administrative actions that advance some of the same goals on a more limited scale.
The budget’s major themes are perhaps nowhere clearer than in its proposal to extend beyond 2025 the costly 2017 tax cuts that have given large windfalls to high-income individuals and highly profitable corporations — even as the budget calls for cutting $1 trillion over the next decade from entitlement (mandatory) programs that help low- and moderate-income households. And layered on top of these cuts are proposals for additional reductions in funding for non-defense discretionary (NDD) programs that would affect a broad set of programs, many of which assist low- and moderate-income people in making ends meet and having a chance at upward mobility. (This analysis uses figures prepared by the Administration’s Office of Management and Budget.)
Among its many cuts, the budget:
Reaffirms the Administration’s support for repealing the ACA, which would cause millions of people to lose health coverage, increase health care costs for millions more, and end nationwide protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Many more would lose Medicaid coverage if the Administration were to successfully implement a nationwide policy of taking Medicaid coverage away from those who don’t meet a work requirement.Proposes to cut SNAP (formerly food stamps) by $220 billion, or about 30 percent, over the next ten years. The budget would dramatically restructure how SNAP benefits are delivered, taking away food choices and posing new food access hurdles for almost 90 percent of SNAP participants. Other benefit and eligibility cuts would cause at least 4 million people to lose SNAP benefits altogether. The cuts would affect every category of SNAP participant, including the unemployed, the elderly, individuals with disabilities, and low-income working families with children.Proposes to cut funding in 2020 for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by $9.7 billion, or 18 percent, including significant cuts in rental assistance for low-income households. That includes cutting funding to operate, maintain, and repair public housing by 60 percent and eliminating Housing Choice Vouchers for 140,000 households. It would also re-propose a policy that would raise rents by an average 44 percent on 4 million low-income households now receiving assistance and take benefits away from people judged not to have met a work requirement.Calls for cutting funding for non-defense discretionary programs by $54 billion — or 9 percent (not accounting for inflation) — in 2020, relative to the 2019 level. By 2029, funding for non-defense discretionary programs would be 40 percent below 2019 levels, after taking inflation into account. These cuts would affect a host of important programs, including job training and education. The budget also calls for eliminating the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LHIEAP) entirely.
If enacted, these proposals and others in the budget would sharply increase the number of people who lack health coverage, while increasing poverty, widening income and racial disparities, and driving up the number of households that struggle to afford the basics.
Budget Prioritizes Tax Cuts While Slicing Basic Assistance, Health Care, and Non-Defense Discretionary Programs
Like his previous budget, the President’s 2020 budget calls for making the 2017 tax cuts permanent while making deep cuts to entitlement programs that help low- and moderate-income families afford the basics and provide them with access to health care. It also calls for large reductions in non-defense discretionary (or annually appropriated) programs, which fund a broad set of public services and investments that promote opportunity and economic growth such as job training; early, K-12, and postsecondary education; and scientific and medical research.
Entitlement Cuts Target Low- and Moderate-Income Individuals and Families
The 2020 budget calls for $1.9 trillion in cuts over the next decade in programs considered entitlements — that is, programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP whose funding is set in law and not determined by the annual appropriations process. More than half of these cuts, or some $1 trillion, are to programs that help low- and moderate-income people and families afford the basics and access health care. That figure includes deep cuts to Medicaid and premium tax credits that help individuals purchase coverage in the Affordable Care Act marketplaces, as well as cuts to programs such as SNAP, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the Social Services Block Grant, and Supplemental Security Income, which provides income assistance to low-income people with disabilities and low-income seniors.
The largest cuts — $777 billion — would come from Medicaid and premium tax credits. The next largest come in SNAP, which would be cut by $220 billion over the next decade, or by about one-quarter in 2020 and one-third in the years after that.
The share of cuts coming from these means-tested programs exceeds the overall share of entitlement spending on them. While low-income programs comprise just 29 percent of entitlement programs overall, they constitute 53 percent of the cuts to entitlements proposed in the Administration’s budget. While the cuts are disproportionate, the bigger concern is their impact — they would increase poverty and hardship and swell the number of people without health insurance.
Cuts to Non-Defense Discretionary Programs
FIGURE 1
NDD programs, whose funding is determined by annual appropriations, range from education and veterans’ medical care to environmental protection, low-income housing assistance, child care, national parks, and international affairs. The Trump budget proposes to set funding for NDD in 2020 at the very low sequestration level set by the 2011 Budget Control Act (BCA). That would mean NDD funding in 2020 would be reduced by $54 billion (or 9 percent) below the 2019 funding level — or by $68 billion (11 percent) after adjusting for inflation. (See Figure 1.)
Funding levels for both defense and NDD programs are currently well above the BCA’s austere sequestration levels because Congress and the President reached an agreement to raise funding significantly above those levels for 2018 and 2019. This agreement reflected a broad bipartisan consensus that the funding levels under the BCA’s sequestration caps were substantially too low to meet key national needs. In fact, Congress and the President have adjusted the BCA funding levels upward for every year since 2013, the first year that the sequestration cuts were slated to take effect.
In contrast to the funding levels the President ultimately agreed to for 2018 and 2019, however, his 2020 budget would cut NDD sharply relative to those levels, with the cuts then deepening over time. In 2029, his budget would set overall NDD funding 40 percent below the 2019 funding level, adjusted for inflation.[1]
The budget lays out funding levels for individual NDD programs only for its first year, 2020 (as is typical for administrative budgets), and proposes to cut or eliminate a number of important low-income programs. For example, it calls for deeply cutting rental assistance through cuts in both Housing Choice Vouchers and public housing, eliminating several community development programs and the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, and sharply cutting Job Corps, a Department of Labor job training program for disadvantaged young people. These cuts and ones elsewhere in the budget would grow deeper and likely affect a still broader set of programs in years after 2020.
While the budget plan would substantially reduce a number of NDD programs that provide supports or can build skills or otherwise improve prospects for low- and moderate-income people, those programs are cut slightly less deeply than NDD as a whole, at least in the first year. But the cuts are significant and would grow over time.
Budget Plan Would Leave Millions More Without Health Coverage
While the President is promising to enact health care legislation that would lower costs while protecting people with pre-existing conditions, his budget reaffirms his support for an ACA repeal plan that would cause millions of people to lose coverage, increase health care costs for millions more, end nationwide protections for people with pre-existing conditions, and cut Medicaid deeply.[2] The budget also includes proposals designed to make it harder for low- and moderate-income people to enroll in or maintain Medicaid coverage — including taking Medicaid coverage away from people nationwide who don’t meet a work requirement — and proposals to shrink premium tax credits and make it more difficult for people to maintain coverage in the ACA marketplaces. In total, the budget would cut Medicaid and ACA financial assistance by $777 billion over ten years, with the cuts mounting over time.
The budget calls on Congress to enact legislation “modeled closely after” the ACA “repeal and replace” bill from Senators Bill Cassidy and Lindsey Graham, and on top of that, to then cut coverage programs by hundreds of billions of dollars over ten years below the levels specified in that legislation.[3] (See Figure 2.)

I think this is the most accurate assessment -
Big name repbulicans have already begun distancing themselves from Trump and moving over to the Biden camp - or at least the not Trump camp.... the whole "fraud" fight isn't going to actually amount to anything... there is no wind in those sails other than his angry fan base.
From a practical standpoint - Biden is a great president for repubs alike .... he's not going to lift a finger about fracking or many other industrial issues which are the core of the republican donor creed. The military industrial complex will continue. It's the social issues... like abortion etc that the trump fanbase gets all worked up about, but when it comes down to it - it's not really what the billionaires care about.

This is like a really good movie
Except its not a movie. Its real. I can only imagine how this will end.
Can you imagine if Trump winning the election actually saves the world from nuclear war? Putin must be really upset right now. He probably has his finger on the nuke button ready to end America if his favorite President does not get a second term. 6 months from now if we are all still alive I will look back and be like "I had no idea that was going to happen" no matter how this turns out. I just can only imagine.
