Trump Tweeted
We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Polls are closed!

Yes. Which means they have more people counting.
The biggest California managed to do it

Menominee, Michigan just reported, and it's 64.4% for Trump. He won 62% in 2016. That's been the case most everywhere.
In Macomb, he increased from 53.6% to current 59.1%. Oakland is not the projected +18 for Biden, currently at +12.

Biden will win.

The US is going through several catastrophes. A quarter million will soon be dead from Covid. Further disasters will just serve to polarise and destabilise the US further, and Trump will just blame everything on his opponents.
And even if they do turn on him, so what? The next election is four years away.

How do the blue states do that?
You do the shift from blue to red in in the form of federal taxes?

No they haven’t. Only 71% of the votes have been counted as of this moment according to NYT. Biden is merely projected to win right now, not confirmed.
It seems you are confusing the media calling a State with the State actually being done with counting.

Trump says a bad group of people is trying to 'disenfranchise' his people.
He was winning and everything and was ready to celebrate massive victory.
Says millions of fake ballots are taking it away from him and the election is 'off'
A 'fraud on the American public and an embarrassment to America'
Going to Supreme Court to get voting to stop..
As far as he is concerned he has won.

Well, it's one way to get the result you want - and it may work.
Even if he doesn't manage to complete this plan, IMO he'll still edge the Electoral College with all of the swing states falling his way.

NYT has been WAY behind all night. I actually closed the tab because they weren't updating. It was really pathetic.

You know how much the rich blue state contributions goes to the poor red states. Stop paying in that amount in taxes or whatever to the federal government.
Seriously, there have been SO MANY red-state numbnuts going on about their taxes not paying for socialised medicine, etc. So agree with them. Don't redistribute the wealth to them. Let them starve, and make sure they know whose idea it was. Keep it in the wealthy states who generate it.

Bull feces. Once again, Trump is lying. When will you ever accept that Trump is a pathological liar? This is exactly the kind of thing that Trump is infamous for doing; mocking what he considers people's physical shortcomings.
From Snopes:
I (Trump) have no idea who this reporter, Serge Kovalski [sic], is, what he looks like or his level of intelligence. I don’t know if he is J.J. Watt or Muhammad Ali in his prime or somebody of less athletic or physical ability. Despite having one of the all-time great memories, I certainly do not remember him.
I merely mimicked what I thought would be a flustered reporter trying to get out of a statement he made long ago. If Mr. Kovaleski is handicapped, I would not know because I do not know what he looks like. If I did know, I would definitely not say anything about his appearance.
Trump’s claims to non-memory were widely considered to be disingenuous, as Kovaleski had covered Trump extensively while working for the Daily News from 1987 to 1993 and had interviewed and talked to the business magnate numerous times during that period: Donald and I were on a first-name basis for years. I’ve interviewed him in his office. I’ve talked to him at press conferences. All in all, I would say around a dozen times, I’ve interacted with him as a reporter while I was at The Daily News.
Did you refresh the page? It doesn't update automatically.

If Trump is handed victory before all the votes are counted, and it then turns out he didn't have enough votes to win... the streets of America won't be a pretty sight. There will be uproar.
Do you think California will take days to do the other 29%

States cannot do that legally. It would amount to an open rebellion against the government,
Might as well go all the way and just plain leave the Union. Second Civil War on it's way.
We can argue about the merits of that, but it would be the US going the way of Yugoslavia.
You are an Aussie. Can a province in Australia just stop p aying taxes to the central government?

None of which goes even .0000000001% of the way toward explaining why he had used the same exact mocking mannerisms for other people prior.
Literally only one thing DOES explain that: it’s a generic “flustered dummy caught and avoiding accountability” persona

There's no provision to hand him a victory before all the votes are counted and the states certify their results. That won't keep him from claiming victory.
