It's all speculation right now.
In case you hadn't noticed the election is over, and we do know what the outcome was. Biden beat Trump.

The only speculation is about how long it takes some people to catch on.

Try a news outlet that's not biased for a change. You might actually know what's going on.
Arizona and Michigan certified today. Georgia last week. That makes 270 without WI, PA or NV (NV certifies tomorrow). There are no lawsuits left in AZ or PA. IDK about GA but they are having a third count. Hang your hat on that I suppose. PA will certify now that the PA court has settled the suits. Philosophically speaking, no one knows the future. But Biden's victory has better than a 99.99% probability of happening now.

"Since 1963. The GSA boss decides when the transition funds and such can be accessed. You probably never noticed because every other president since then has taken his defeat like a man and not a toddler - until Trump."




You are right, but that does not mean the OP is correct in what was stated:

The General Services Administration (GSA) Administrator does not pick the winner in the Presidential election. In accordance with the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 (PTA), as amended, and consistent with precedent established by the Clinton Administration in 2000, the GSA Administrator ascertains the apparent successful candidate once a winner is clear based on the process laid out in the Constitution. The Administrator’s ascertainment is done for the purposes of making additional services provided by the PTA available. Until an ascertainment is made, the statute allows for the Biden Transition Team to continue to receive the pre-elect services from the government (e.g., office space, computers, background investigations for security clearances). GSA has met all statutory requirements under the PTA for this election cycle and will continue to do so.
Lets remember what the OP very clearly lied about:

After Michigan certified Biden now has 270 votes so there was no more reason for Emily to hide and not sign of on the transition.

The transition went forward in 2016 when there were still pending recounts and trump was ahead by far fewer votes. This is the way it's done. Or was until trump installed a partisan hack at GSA.

It's time to face reality.
PS. I didn't vote for Trump.

But I know that this is all speculative.

Nothing has been decided yet.

That is a KEY WORD that people in this thread do not understand.

YET.

They do not understand.

CNN said Biden is president and some lady that works in the White House made a statement. I mean she said she doesn't determine the winner, but they didn't read that far. They heard what they wanted to hear and that was that.

Truth has no place in the media. Just believe what CNN says. Like a god they worship.
