yes that’s what tRump is “hanging around for”, being such a political chess master he sees that coming turns to take advantage of, he hides in the background not stirring the pot too much, not making comments on the loss of American lives in catastrophic events or having given their lives in defense of OUR NATION, no the genius will strike when Georgia sways to his skilled machinations and the Senate is once again his puppet!!! Oh what a sharp mind, and here we are thinking it’s simply a self absorbed lump ignoring the media circus, he’ll show us with the decades of skilled conquests and glory he has earned 💩

So when is the Trump rally in GA?

Also, which irregularities are you pointing to that have not be thoroughly debunked that have any chance of overturning a single state?  AZ was your best chance and that's been called by anyone with an RPN calculator.

I'm shocked that no one has noticed that there is a runoff election 5 January 2021 to elect two senators in Georgia.  It is the second most important election, after POTUS.  The balance of power in the Senate and the country in general is in the hands of the people of Georgia.  If the repubs hold the Senate, then government remains divided and slows down the possible changes that would otherwise be unlimited with the dems controlling Congress and the White House.

This is what Trump is hanging around for.  If he can help lead to a victory in Georgia, he will have successfully launched his 2024 re election campaign.  He has to stick around and keep fighting all of the way up to this election.  Remember also that despite Trump's apparent loss the repubs have picked up seats in the House giving Biden the slimmest majority in the House to work with since FDR I'm told.

This ain't over until it is over.  That and there is mounting evidence of voting irregularities that need to be investigated fully, so if nothing else for Biden's tenure, he is untainted by voting fraud charges.  To run these investigations all the way through benefits everyone, regardless of the outcome.

Biden should negotiate a deal with trump. 
A pardon for trump conceding, and moving to mexico where he can finally get to work on that wall.

It is still absolutely astonishing.. what is his current game plan? 

He either concedes (best option)
departs in a sulk (probable option)
is forced to vacate the premises under armed guard (the untenable option)
or actually attempts some kind of half-arsed tin-pot dictatorship style coup without the military behind him - what the Germans would call a super-gau ("beyond-basis-design-event").

I can't believe I just wrote that last line as any kind of credible option in the US, but knowing his obvious mental illness coupled with collusion from his coterie and the febrile state of internal politics in the States, it seems like the perfect storm of highly unlikely contingencies all coming to pass at the same time. What crazy times we live in.

Hilarious.   Imagine....

The French military shows up on America's doorstep to help restore democracy.

"Knock, knock America.  We are here to help restore democracy.  Please return to your thatched huts and remain calm.  Order will be restored shortly."

Not sure the French military are up to this next challenge...

In November 2010, President Laurent Gbagbo of Ivory Coast refused to accept his loss in an election, suppressing protests with live ammunition, killing dozens and dragging the country into a brief civil war in which over 3,000 people died.

Like Mr. Trump, he freely used government machinery to challenge the election result, insisting he had not been defeated. The crisis stretched out over almost five months and brought Ivory Coast to its knees economically.

With French military support, the president-elect, Alassane Ouattara, finally assumed power as Mr. Gbagbo — whose campaign slogan had been “We win or we win” — was dragged out of his bunker in Abidjan, the capital.
