Version 2.187

The blue wave keeps crashing ashore. Hindsight is 20-20, no pun intended, but the states that turned blue and are making a difference are:

• Arizona: the state of the late Senator John McCain, a Vietnam veteran and POW, who Trump called a loser
• Michigan: the state where Trump supporters were planning on kidnapping the governor and overthrow the state government
• Wisconsin: the state where Trump ignored, or shall we say disobeyed, local authorities and held an event in Green Bay, a red zone for Covid-19 cases
• Georgia: the state of the late Civil Rights icon and House Representative, John Lewis, whose district Trump called "horrible"

At this point, it would take an act of God for Joe Biden to not win the Presidency, especially because Donald Trump has no legal team competent enough to litigate the election. So far, the courts have been rejecting his claims and, on Twitter, people post highlighted portions of the court decisions to make fun of how flimsy his legal claims are. For example, in one case, Trump's legal team claimed that the vote counting in Michigan had to be stopped using hearsay as evidence:

To anyone who claimed Donald Trump was a political genius I offer these kind words: "You, my friend, were wrong!" Donald Trump won the last election because he was in the right place, at the right time. If another candidate had been chosen in the primaries, that candidate would have won too. But, if some other Republican had been president, they would have won this election and the GOP would have had two terms in the Presidency. Or even Trump: if he had just played it cool and gone along with the show, he would have won this election. If he had done that, he would have been a political genius.
