I haven't been reading every day about the court battles because I don't want to stress myself out about something I can't help.
Does President Trump still have a chance? Is it better than before, or have things stalled?

Yes.
First of all, Justice Alito has ordered the PA Supreme Court to respond to Trump's arguments regarding election malfeasance in the state. The PA Court had previously dismissed Trump's lawsuit without considering the merits. Alito says "you will consider them, and you have until the 9th to comply."
Here's what this could mean:
If PA Court gets back on the 9th and says "okay, Trump is right" then he'll end up winning the state. There'll be some hoops to jump through but it'll be a formality at that point. Don't count on this, though. PA's supreme court is hyper liberal.
So PA's court says "okay we did and here are our (bullsh*t) reasons why we rule against him. Trump will then appeal to SCOTUS and they will decide if PA's court had good or bad reasoning. If good, then Trump loses and all the other dominos fall with him. If bad, then Trump wins after the hoops are jumped through. That's just one state though.
BUT
There's some talk about how the 9th is "too late" because the 8th is the "safe harbor" date, wherein the state has to decide who the electors are going vote for (Biden or Trump).
This doesn't matter, imo.
PA's state legislature might very well chose Biden electors on the 8th, but they could also decline to chose on the 8th on the grounds that their election is in an ongoing legal dispute. The safe harbor date is not a constitutional mandate and has no legal bearing on the matter at hand.
Alito and the conservatives on the SCOTUS might also say "PA so royally screwed up their election, with the judicial and executive branch interfering with what is supposed to be a solely-legislative matter, that we have no choice but to void the entire election and deny PA the right to send any electors." That's not outside of the realm of possibility, and if that happens, you an expect a similar ruling in Georgia, where the Gov and Sec of State made an illegal "consent decree" that changed how elections were run without the approval of the state legislature.
If those two states are denied electors, then Biden still wins with exactly 270 votes. One more state needs to fall.
Enter Wisconsin.
Wisconsin had strict rules about mail-in ballots and signature checks. Those rules were explicitly not followed. So far, a Wisconsin Judge is holding up Trump's lawsuit, but if SCOTUS starts ruling on these things, Trump can ask SCOTUS to take the case without them having to go through the lower court channels. If they strike down PA and GA they'll deny WI too, just on precedent.
In which case, Joe falls below 270 and the election is sent to the House of Representatives, where each state delegation votes for the President and the Senate votes for the Vice.
the GOP leads the House delegations something like 26-24, and even if both runoffs go to the Dems, that's a 50-50 vote, with Pence casting the tie breaker.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
If it goes to the Senate to vote for the VICE, and if the Dems win the GA senate races, then it's entirely possible that Mitt Romney votes against Trump, and elects Kamala as VP, effectively giving the democrats control of the senate, 50-50 plus her as the tiebreaker. He can then change parties and make it a clear majority.
Because Mitt Romney has nothing else to live for but to stick it to Donald Trump.
Wow. I hate Mitt, but I can't imagine him voting for Kamala Harris. It would be something voters would remember forever if he ever wants another run at President.
Much better. Read through TOP WEEKLY

Hope he goes to jail
I hope so. When I saw the tweet that the pentagon was refusing to provide intel to the Biden transition team, I figured something was gonna happen.
Is this something I could bet you on?
Okay, I also agree to the bet. It's locked in here for all to witness.
This is one that I honestly hope I lose. Good luck pede.
I smell sarcasm.
Two important things:
By my estimates, Trump's chances are about 99%.
Eat better
Looks like you've been asking this every 9 days...
Yes. Winning is the only important thing. I can't read through every post and every detail without going crazy at all the wrong liberals have done. It stresses me out.
Some people have life to live outside this site.
Why not try doing atleast the minimal amount of research yourself
Nothing is happening until January all this is just show, maybe go read up on the Constitution, SCOTUS and procedures for an invalid presidential election
January? Isn't it over after the electoral college votes?
Yep, but that means nothing, there have been Presidential races that havent ended in a winner until March in the past
Also this will go for SCOTUS who will either rule out contested ballots giving Trump the win Overrule the election forcing a redo Trump wins Or throw it over to the House/Senate where 1 state 1 vote and you must vote down party lines as per 12A and Trump wins
Or we get lucky in the lower courts and Trump wins
Don't fret, don't believe ANYTHING the Lamestream media tell you (even Newsmax & OANN) and just hold the line
Trump sent Biden a cucumber and told him to stick it up his ass and then Joe said ok and stuck it up his ass, slipped and fell on his dog, hurting his leg.
Yes, no, yes
I haven't seen the full rally today yet, but based on reactions and the energy at TD, I don't know if it's going in the right direction. The RINOs stabbed Trump in the back after getting victory due to him.
