It isn't a legal status and doesn't actually decide anything. It is optics.

Exactly. It's optics. It legitimizes Biden's Presidency for a transition to formally begin.

Legal reality matters. I'm not saying I like this development, but it's VERY far from a "game over" development.

And the legality is all pretty suspicious to me. I don't have much faith in our legal system, or our elections, or our local and federal governments anymore. Democrats can lie, cheat, and steal with impunity it seems.

We were beating Biden on optics, forcing him to crowd-fund his own transition. I was starting to forget he even existed, but with this development all of that is erased.

It's not a game over development, you're right, but it's pretty upsetting. Let's hope Trump can pull through.

Under the EO he can seize the transition funding Biden raised +$4m to the treasury

To be candidly honest, a LOT of people not only here, but on many other sites as well, don't have the intellectual acumen to understand nuanced actions. It's always a RUSH to OMG the fucking sky it falling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It isn't.

I am not a doomer and am extremely pro MAGA, however, we currently live in the age where information comes fast and furious, both true/false and somewhere in between. Discerning what one reads for the truth, while its muddied with others opinions, both good and bad, are difficult waters to navigate. God is in control, period.

Normies are stupid and don't understand anything. That's why. Shills aren't helping, either.

Exactly, I actually thought he was Going to Allow it sooner. Just to be a dick so he can kick joe out. Look if this goes Trump’s way Like we all believe it should, joe looks like a big dick for not conceding when he should

It’s just optics and formalities. To those who are concerned, read the actual letter. The letter explicitly states that this doesn’t decide that Biden is the winner, but only that since Biden is currently the “apparent” winner and with all the lawsuits pending, the Biden team has the right to access post-election resources for security reasons. However, this can be simply overturned if Trump is declared the winner. Along with this, Trump’s tweet also helps him get rid of that “coup and dictator” image that the media is presenting because he hasn’t conceded.

The election will be officially over when the all the lawsuits are withdrawn and Trump has officially conceded.

That’s what I say. It has nothing to do with winning or losing. GORE BEGAN TRANSITIONING IN 2000 ALONG WITH BUSH. DID GORE WIN? NO. SIT BACK AND WATCH THE DAMN SHOW
