The Democrats can only control the Senate if they take both of Georgia's Senate seats, and even then only with the Vice President's casting vote as the Republicans have 50 seats.  ;)

Georgia is about to start a Statewide full manual recount.

Only 14,000 votes out of 5.2 million between Trump and Biden.


Yes, recounts are renowned for finding thousands of 'miscounted' votes ;D . We have recounts if the disparity is in double figures, and not always then. More than one recount is often required to reach a conclusion.


Calling for them when the difference is well into five figures is (another) sign of desperation or inability to face reality.


Another thing to consider is that Trump was elected by the electoral college rather than the popular vote. Now he didn't get either, he's allowed his petulant side free reign. Which would be comical if he wasn't trying to do a serious job.

Except Georgia has more votes yet to be counted (22,000) than the difference between the two parties (14,091), notwithstanding the county ballots that they are now recounting ;)

Therin lies the problem of course, more or less whatever happens now, if Trump does manage to cling on, which I doubt, he will struggle to look legitimate over the next four years.

Some say he's struggled to look legitimate over the past four years and has only lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue due to help from his friends in Russia, China, or Outer Space!  So no change there really.  ;D

Quite honestly I don't think any other US President has suffered so much "micky taking"  during their time in office , he is without doubt a successful businessman but as a President perhaps not.

You say that, but he has never run away from all the crap that's been thrown at him and it hasn't stopped him from getting stuff done.  ;)

I'm now really hoping that he has the evidence he needs and is sitting on it until the right moment.  The leftie outrage would be spectacular!  ;D

Hopefully it has been presented to the courts as they only have a limited window. ::)

Not a fan of Trump or Biden but we are where we are. :-X

The conspiracy theory is simply delusional and there is still no real evidence from the republicans.

If Trump had said the vote is close and he would like a recount that would have been reasonable, much like in 2000.

However, he has turned everything up to eleven gone straight to the whole election being an X-Files type democrat fix up.....which will delight and inspire the more delusional of his supporters. :-\

Can you imagine what would happen if Biden was suddenly told you are not going to be the next president.........It would certainly be entertaining but it is not going to happen. :)

......and if it did. :-\ :-\
