My FIL.
First gen mexican-american. Litterally worked the fields as a kid. Never lived outside the central valley. 20 years in California corrections as a guard. Full pension and union protection. Absolutely successful by any measure.
Every one except him is lazy and just wants handouts. California is a nanny state. Hard right republican and Trumper.
It's not the only reason he's not welcome in this house, but it sure doesn't help.
For everyone tired of how long this is taking, just remember Donnie is tired of it too. Losing is the one thing he hates the most, so let's savor it.
I work with a shit-ton of fat lazy union dudes who only have a job because they got hired just at the right time to ride the wave of seniority who feel exactly the same way.
When I look at the posts from my high school, SMH. I don't understand my Mexican friends that are hard core Trumpers. He doesn't like you! You aren't rich, you aren't white, and you have worked hard for everything you have. Why do you support him? You are everything he hates.
Best/worst scenarios with remaining votes based on AP map currently on google.
PA at 42k
Sounds about right, now that you mention it. Ernie would have hired on around that time when Cali got "tough on crime" and built a boatload of prisons. He had been building homes as a door framer up till then.
It might be the manhattans, but this thread delivers!
Playing “Georgia on my Mind” at the moment.

Just so we’re clear, once that statistic goes the other way, it’s no longer a tie.
When even Santorum knows shit when he hears it....
"Make Georgia howl"
Isn't that @Westy ?

To call the speech President Trump gave at the White House Thursday evening a "news conference" wouldn't be right. For 17 minutes, he repeated dangerous lies about the legitimacy of the election results—claims so outrageous that even the conservative New York Post called them "baseless." Fox News anchor John Roberts noted that the president we saw tonight "believes that at the end of the day...the election is not going to go his way" and is trying to plan an "alternate route" to retain the White House.
"If you count the legal votes, I easily win," Trump began. "If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us." To be clear, there is no deadline by which votes must be counted, and a person is more likely to get struck by lightning than to commit voter fraud. The president is, again, lying.
Trump also claimed that he won the state of Pennsylvania, which has not yet called a winner. His margin of victory in the state did get "whittled down"—his words—following the initial reporting of results, but that's because the state is still continuing to count mail-in votes, which have largely favored Biden. And it's no wonder mail-in votes aren't a boon for the president: Trump has spent the last several months trying to delegitimize mail-in ballots, which offer a safer alternative to voting in person amid a pandemic.
After he wrapped up, Trump refused to take questions from the press, slinking out of the briefing room. "Are you being a sore loser?" Jim Acosta asked futilely.
Trump's comments are as dangerous as they are dishonest—a sitting president attempting to undermine the legitimacy of an election while votes are still being counted is unprecedented in US history. CNN's normally understated Anderson Cooper summed it up: "That is the most powerful person in the world, and we see him like an obese turtle on his back flailing in the hot sun, realizing his time is over, but he just hasn’t accepted it, and he wants to take everybody down with him, including this country."
