Oh, what sad times are these when passing Democrats can say Ni at will to old ladies. There is a china-virus upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period of historical lockdown.
 
Trump Tweets

The 1,126,940 votes were created out of thin air. I won Pennsylvania by a lot, perhaps more than anyone will ever know. The Pennsylvania votes were RIGGED. All other swing states also. The world is watching!

Mastriano’s numbers appear to be from the primary election on June 2.
Trump actually got 3,378,263 votes in the general election.

He offers no source for his image.

...and still the GOP leadership continue to back President Trump 100%.

I'm still not convinced that they won't succeed in overturning the election results.:(

I don't expect they will be able to overturn the election results but then I never, ever expected to even have to consider something like that happening in the United States. But here we are. It's very scary. It's very troubling that some of the GOP leadership even tolerate something like this.

What has happened to us? :(

I'm waiting for the electoral college to meet and vote. If they give Biden the votes he's entitled to THEN I will exhale. Until then...

Gives me hope the Trump supporters will grow quiet when Trump leaves office. As a matter of fact, judging from the comments threads I frequent, they've gone more quiet already.

That article says he has lost 46,000 followers since the 22nd. He still has 88 million, so he's "haemorrhaged" about 0.05% of his followers.

At this point it wouldn't surprise me if Trump posted numbers from last year's America's Got Talent and demanded to know where Biden got the extra votes.

Some of the GOP leadership ?

More like almost all, and many of them are actively contributing, not just failing to condemn President Trump's actions.:(

So much credit to all of the brave men and women in state houses who are defending our great Constitution. Thank you!

Nope, no way does Trump cross the 75 million vote threshold. The Biden estimate may be about right. Almost all the ballots left to be counted are in NY.

Latest batch from Westchester County NY

Biden. 42,859 (83%)

Trump. 8,480 (16%)

Someone assure me that the PA case that is going to SCOTUS has no chance of SCOTUS ruling in its favor in any way, considering not only the merits (or lack thereof) of the case, but the nature of SCOTUS as well.

Are we sure that Roberts and Gorsuch are very, very, very likely to rule properly on that case?

I doubt SCOTUS will even hear arguments in the PA case. Rudy's case is awful.
The Third Circuit's ruling was legally perfect and made by three Republicans judges. There is nothing about this appeal that has any legal merit.

Alito should reject it out of hand. The only reason Alito might bring the case to the full court is simply for cover. He might not want to be the one judge that quashed a sitting Republican president's hopes.

Certiorari won't be issued.

Is there any reason to think the conservative members of the SCOTUS are any more extreme than the panel of the 3rd circuit, that hammered the campaign with things like, "Lawsuits usually have serious allegations and evidence. This case has neither."

That was written by a Trump-appointed judge. The other two judges were Bush appointees.

This has already been heard by a conservative court. It got destroyed.

I'm pretty sure you are right, but a thought occurred to me about a reason certiorari might be granted.

Sometimes, the Supreme Court takes a case, and then issues a 9-0 opinion. I wouldn't swear that I've ever seen that where they take a case and issue a 9-0 or other lopsided, let's say 7-2, opinion that upholds a lower court ruling, but I'm guessing it has happened.

Their purpose in doing so, I am told, is that sometimes there is no clear court precedent, and they want to establish one. There has been a lot of nonsense spouted in this post-election time about how the legislature can step in and disregard the will of the people. It is conceivable that they might take the case just for the purpose of making sure they can establish a precedent that this case, and any other like it, is nuts. If they want to squash this one like a bug, and make sure that any other fantasy of ignoring elections does not darken their doorstep in the future, they might take the case.

I doubt it, but I don't know enough to say the scenario is absolutely impossible.
