IMO the clearest indicator of what’s going to happen is that Israel’s Netanyahu and Saudi Arabia’s MBS have both congratulated Biden.
These two leaders are Trump buddies. Their intelligence services are top of the world. They wouldn’t make the call unless their intelligence was crystal clear that Trump doesn’t have a chance.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoEven Fox News is distancing themselves from Trump & co now, interrupting his (campaign team's) speech when they bring up election fraud - instead of doubling down on the accusations like they would be expected to. Rats leaving the sinking ship, I'm guessing. They know it's over, and that the lawsuits are formalities at best (often dealing concretely with just dozens of lost ballots and the like, although Pennsylvania's lawsuit could still be interesting (they want the mail-in ballots received after the 3rd (but postmarked at or before the 3rd) to be dismissed. It won't change the election results at all though, those votes have already been kept separate and not yet considered, pending the lawsuit.
- pavlov 6y agoNone of Trump’s legal challenges could invalidate tens of thousands of ballots in multiple states, which is what they’d need to win. But at least frustrated Trumpists can process their fragile emotions by downvoting us and wasting their money on hopeless bets.
- esoterica 6y agoThey're not basing their congratulations on any special intelligence. They're literally just looking at the same public numbers every one else has that show Biden with an insurmountable lead in >270 EC votes worth of states.
