“Journalists” decided to ask Senate GOPers if Biden should get intel briefings which is why you see so many comments today from senators on this. By saying yes, those Senators indirectly admit that Biden is POTUS-elect which undercuts Trump which is the goal of the question.
“ Biden should continue getting the same intell briefings that presidential candidates get until the election results are certified” is too complex for Santa GOP’s to say. Instead, they say Biden should get full briefings but they also say that the results are not clear.
Basically, @SenateGOP’s - from @SenatorLankford and @LindseyGrahamSC to @JohnCornyn and @SenJohnThune - are stringing along the GOP/Trump base about the election results hoping that they show up for the GA runoffs, but GOP senators think Trump is kaput which is fine.
The current game by @SenateGOP’s (of acting on the one hand that there are election issues but on the other supporting full briefings for Biden as a POTUS-elect) is an expansion of Graham’s game: Telling Sean every 48 hours for 3 year “we will get to the bottom of 2016 abuses.”

Those companies really did not know a week before the election that their vaccines are (according to them) 90% effective? L

They did but they wanted Trump out because he took on Big Pharma on pricing.

Amazing what forces tried to get him out and yet how close this is. Just wow.
You see/know that you are being propagandized yet there is little you can do about it. This - not the outcome itself - is the tough part about the 2020 election.

Major Media ran cover for Biden.

Big Tech choked off Cons.

Big Pharma hid news that Trump wanted 2 weeks ago.
CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, Politico and NYT would not be all “wow, the claimed vaccine effective rate is much higher than planned and Trump’s Wrapped Speed program worked.” They would “meh” it as they did the GDP report. My point is Big Pharma was another machine that undercut Trump.

Trump was attacked for holding rallies while BLM got a pass. The reasoning was “Trump is political but BLM is for justice.” First, political rallies are aimed to win elections and to affect policy; just as BLM wants to change policy. Second, yesterday rallies was for justice too?
This is just one small link in a looooong chain of media coverage bias that helped Biden while it undercut Trump. And of course, Biden was not asked 5 times weekly to condemn the violence, riots and physical attacks on Trump fans by his own supporters. This is the upside of a Dem
presidency: Major media will give us calm.

People rally during Covid-19 without distancing? Meh.

Riots/violence by Bide fans? Gets weak coverage and sure not much “Mr. president. Do you condemn your supporters” drama. Also back to no scandals no matter how bad the corruption.

Obama/Biden Admin spent six months chasing the Russia Collusion hoax.

Brennon/Clapper both admitted that they had nothing by 1/20/17. Yet @Comey went ahead for 5 more months.

Then Mueller looked at it for 22 months.

We can’t spend a few weeks to look at ballot integrity? Pls!
Electors vote mid-December. The rush to claim Biden a winner now (when it can be done in a month or more from now) is a tactic to weaken any calls to review ballots in WI, GA, AZ and PA. It is designed to increase GOP calls that Trump should join the call for a “graceful exit.”
The @TeamTrump PR claim (not sure if it will work out this way):

“We will win AZ and GA outright or after a (hand) recount of all mail in ballots or at a minimum mail ins in counties that used the same software that caused an (alleged) anti-Trump glitch in MI. With AZ/GA aside,

Here is why Liberals are not fully happy with the 2020 results:

Their writers and pundits spent years yelling that @realDonaldTrump is divisive and racist and that he won 2016 due to middle America whites who are racists. The Leftists also claimed that changing demographics will
be Trump’s undoing and it will take down the whole GOP with him. Trump however increased his 2020 vote total by 15% from 2016 thanks to help from monitories while Biden won due to vote of the aforementioned whites who Libs claimed are racists. Worse, Biden’s electoral margin
will echo Trump’s margin of 2016 or less (depending how GA and AZ end up), and this was during a pandemic; during an economic downturn; with a mass mail-in vote system that massively favors Dems, and despite tech companies choking off conservative voices in ways not done to Libs.

Pre-2012, @NumbersMuncher unskewing polls. If not for pro-Obama Sandy coverage, I think he would be proven right as seen from anti-GOP polling messes since). But at the time, the Muncher looked bad so he went off Twitter for a while. Why is @Redistrict not in hiding for a week?
One day before the 2020 election, Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) wrote that @HouseDemocrats will pick up a net 10-15 seats in the House. They lost 5-12.

“Where is the accountability” you ask? By you RTing this and showing it to political “reporters” who parrot Wasserman.
A night before the 2020 election, Charles Cook told @Lawrence that @SenateDems will pick up anywhere from 2-3 to 5-7 seats.

Dems seem to be getting at best a net of 3 if they crush the GOP in the GA runoffs.

2-3 was the low end for Cook; not the high end.

Clueless hack.

In 2000, @algore asked to recount only 4 Dem-majority counties hoping to get votes; he wanted ballot rule changes and he wanted to stop military ballots. SCOTUS stopped his fraud.

He/Dems/Media then spent years claiming Bush “stole” the election.

Revisionist propagandist!
Gore 2000 was an easier stoey than Trump 2020 because it was just one state; one state that if won decided the presidency; the margins were a few 100 votes, and major media enabled a challenge while here they are kneecapping Trump.

The game is over.

BTW my pre-elex prediction:
If Trump wins GA; IIIFFF he wins AZ, then the race came down to PA (if NC is also with Trump), so yes. Looking at mail in ballots in that one state does make sense and perhaps in WI too where the diff is 20K votes. But alas, some @SenateGOP’s are already undercutting Trump.
