Trump looks tired and defeated

he almost reminds me of Hillary on election night 2016

[Vaccinated Russian Bear]

Actually, Trump looks better (more natural) with the gray hair than that orange stuff.

And almost presidential at last.

NPR article on how the Navajo vote swung Arizona to Biden:

My con law instructor in Undergrad said that this would happen.

[Inmate Trump]

The fact that Trump refuses to accept the election results and is in fact attempting to overthrow the election results and the will of the people makes him a traitor.

With Dems winning growing Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon, and Republicans winning declining Ohio, West Virginia, and Alabama, reapportionment should only move 3-5 electoral votes into the R column if no states flip.

AZ is still a swing state.

Another Eastern Shore county flipped and we might see another one too:

Requoting my post from many pages ago on the Eastern Shore (Just, uh...ignore that bit about it being unlikely that Biden will hold onto Kent County, MD). 

Also worth noting that Kent County, MD (the sister MD county of neighboring bellwether Kent County, DE) just flipped blue on NYT's map.  With 11% of the vote still left to count, I'd say it's unlikely that Biden holds onto his 14-vote lead here (4,914 - 4,900 : 49.1% - 48.9%).  

It's still worth noting that Eastern Shore county wins for the Democrats have been quite rare since 1968.  Through the ensuing twelve Presidential elections and taking into account the nine counties that make up the region, Democrats are 12 for 126 (~9.5%).  

Kent County, itself, has gone for a Democrat in four of the last twelve election cycles (1976, 1980, 1996, 2008).  

Kent County, MD (2016)

Donald J. Trump (R):  48.7%
Hillary R. Clinton (D):  45.7%

Kent County, MD (2020) ~ 89% votes counted

Joseph R. Biden (D):  49.1%
Donald J. Trump (R):  48.9%

Is this not accepting defeat thing the new trend for Republicans?

Biden is going to be only the second President ever to be from Pennsylvania.

Well, he can't do worse than the first one.

It’s the logical extension of their longtime trends towards denying facts, evidence, and reality that they don’t like.

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

I can't believe he would show himself like this. He looks awful. Wow. I never thought I'd see him like this.

Weren't there photos of Romney and Clinton going viral on the net that showed how devastated and shabby they looked after admitting their defeat?

Oh sure, I’m not counting it part of a freiwal or anything. I’m being literal about the change if nothing else changes.

There needs to be a coup to install Tony Fauci as President until January 20th.

It's actually standard practice going back decades for people like Oberweis to attend new member orientations.

[Non Swing Voter]

This is why Democrats should gerrymander their states too.  The notion that you unilaterally leave it to commissions while GOP states go buck wild is absurd.
