ELECTION 2020 Part 18

OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER!!

Trump will never concede. Trump will not attend Biden's inauguration. What a loser.

Now let's help to get Ossoff & Warnock elected; otherwise, Turtle will be more insufferable

I wonder what will now become of the Treason threads.

Dr Fauci is probably the happiest person in America who isn’t Joe and Kamala

OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER!!

The cars are honking and people cheering in NYC.

[quote]Dr Fauci is probably the happiest person in America who isn’t Joe and Kamala

Because now he won't get his head stuck on a pike!

But the cunt isn't going quietly...probably wants a deal with NY AG like don't come after me if you want me to concede etc.

Biden will be the oldest prez EVER!

Harris will be the first woman VP ( and Prez)

Fox News has projected Biden won, but they are talking about all the moves Trump will take to block him in the courts and electoral college. The assholes.

Trump refuses to concede after Biden declared president-elect Donald Trump is showing no signs of conceding, after Joe Biden was declared the winner of the US presidential election.

“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over,” Trump said.

The simply fact is that this election is over. The final votes will continue to be counted in dozens of states, but there is no way for Trump to come back in the presidential race at this point.

“Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated,” Trump said.

R4....what....you think the treason disappears now??

Orange turd is golfing.

What a WONDERFUL DAY!

"Dr Fauci is probably the happiest person in America who isn’t Joe and Kamala"

Boolshit.

Haha on Trump thinking he has court battles ahead - the judges are throwing that nonsense out!

R19, EAT TRUMP'S DIAPER AND DIE.

That Kamala bitch will be president by March.

Cracked open a Mike's Hard Lemonade to celebrate. Not even worrying about the court stuff. Just more ramblings from Trump's delusional mind.

[quote] Orange turd is golfing.

Yes! That's what they (Lester Holt?) said on NBC live.

[quote] Let's hope senile old Joe dies from a heart attack before Inauguration Day.

Sore maga losers are funny ! Drinking your tears with delight

I just want to take a moment and thank the Black community in the US. A lot of you came out and did your thing in your cities, stayed loyal to the Democratic Party and kicked out Trump. I really hope Biden will do right by you!

Millions will be celebrating in the streets all day. Huge crowd in front of the WH already!

I can't wait to see old Joe fluff his Inauguration speech and fall down the steps.

MSNBC is showing the cheering crowds in NYC; I'm sure NY will give Jared & Ivanka a warm welcome when they return (maybe warm like a hand grenade)

A word from Kamala.

Bye r19!!!!!! You’re gone from my life forever. Also, your whoring mother didn’t teach you a thing about how to lose with grace, class, and dignity because she was too busy blowing Russian mobsters. Enjoy your day loser!!! Kisses and double flipped birds for you, you fucktard!!!

Trump's as mad as a bat in a suitcase!!

It's Kamala. Vice President Harris if you're nasty.

Wow what's the temperature in DC that people are in t-shirts ?? I'm freezing my butt off in Europe

R25, hear hear!!!! All the threads where blacks were attacked, it’s bullshit. Once again, they DELIVER America.

I am not a fan of Politicians.

They are all in it for themselves...

Don't be fooled that they really care about you. They will say anything to get your vote. and their views change depending on the wind...

I'm just glad I won't have to watch this shit on TV much longer...

R33, global warming is real.

[quote] Let's hope senile old Joe dies from a heart attack before Inauguration Day.

You Love Kamala that much R19, me too but Joe can keep living, Kamala's turn will come without someone dying, you asshole.

NICE AND LOW 70S. CONVERT YOURSELF.

Congratulations, my American friends. It will take work to repair the damage he has done, but I knew you would shake Trump off, and move on. He’s too small a person to take down a great nation.

Also, don't think just because we're gonna have a new Prez, the virus problem will be solved.

There are many great leaders in Europe, they have handled it well but still they are struggling....

yes, the glass is always half empty to me.

Just pure joy and relief. Wish I was in DC or New York or Philly!!!!

I love watching those people celebrating outside WH!

I know!!! I wish I were there SO BAD r42

[quote] Also, don't think just because we're gonna have a new Prez, the virus problem will be solved.

I haven't heard of a single person who thought that, but come January we will have a President doing his best to lower the infections and deaths instead of trying to see how many people he can kill by spreading it and the lies he tells about it.

[quote]I'm just glad I won't have to watch this shit on TV much longer...

Who twisted your arm motherfucker?

Looks like Conor Lamb has won:

Hoping a mad Trump supporter assassinates Biden so Kamala becomes Prez.

People in NYC are cheering on the streets! And I don't even live in a noisy neighborhood. I went outside to take some videos and realized I had totally forgotten what camaraderie felt like.

omg, those fucking stupid cunts, no social distancing! DUMB FUCKS!

Any idea what time Joe and Kamala will speak? Wondering if I have time to go for food. Missed the call when I went for gas after days glued to the TV!

Wow what's the temperature in DC that people are in t-shirts ?? I'm freezing my butt off in Europe

70 degrees - crazy for early November

R44, they had some woman, can't remember her name on TV yesterday touting what Biden is gonna do when he's elected about the virus...it was all standard BS about contact tracing, testing etc.

Contact tracing has not worked in Europe. It will not work here.

Biden tweeted Ray Charles's cover of America the Beautiful

Are those evangelical fraus still praying in Arizona??

Jesus can't hear you, cunts!!

Celebration outside the Capitol !

So many trolls on these threads!!

The crowd around the White House reminds me of this..............

Very happy for you guys, I remember the sadness and empty streets on Nov 8, 2016, it is such a happy contrast seeing people celebrate on MSNBC It feels like a blanket of gloom has been lifted

Donald Trump - President's Public Schedule

[quote] 7 Saturday November, 2020 10:40 AM The President goes to Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, VA (10:39 AM - )Trump National Golf Club, Potomac Falls, VA

So that means that when Trump returns to the White House he will have to drive by the celebration.

I LOVE IT.

r52 Yes, there's no doubt alot of hard work is ahead but can we just celebrate this moment. It's a huge carthasis for most of us

Kellyanne Conway? Crickets from you?

When do the deplorable flood the street with their semiautomatic weapons? I hope they do and are immediately neutralized.

Joe and Mika continue their "Trump won in 2016 because of disillusioned white working class", instead of the far easier truth that racist butthole, ignorant, hateful American voters have waited their whole lives for a moron like Trump to represent them, period.

We never learn anything.

I'm using up my F&Fs in this thread today on scum like R19 and others.

Punch and delete r64

And thanks because I ran out of F&Fs today very early

R64 just shat his diapers.

Has Twittler tweeted??

LOL

"Anyone else picturing RBG, John Lewis and John McCain high-fiving and smiling down on us right now?"

No tweet from Miss Graham yet? You and Sean Hannity can cry together Monday night.

I'm just glad Jared is out of the white house. someone better watch him. He's probably stealing all kinds of Top Secret and Classified documents for you know which country...

He should not have been granted security clearance!

[quote]So that means that when Trump returns to the White House he will have to drive by the celebration.

Maybe he just won't go back. Which would be GREAT!

[Quote] Personal feelings aside, if the DNC had produced a more likable and acceptable candidate to the USA, we would not have endured the hellscape of the last 4 years

Trump was a likable and acceptable candidate to many. Think on that. (Are you still wondering about Hillary's emails?)

so how many people are gonna get a virus from the celebrations? They are cheering loudly and screaming...

stupid cunts. there is a fucking pandemic! This is why the numbers keep going up...

Miss Lindsey is a turncoat. It’s only a matter of time until he dumps Trump. He used to be good friends with Biden, after all.

Andrea Mitchell spat out "first Jewish husband of the VP". Crickets

On to Georgia!!!!

Two Senate seats up for grabs.

Knock #MoscowMitch out as Senate Majority Leader.

Critically important!

I will admit, I am nervous for Gadi tonight with what those boogaloo boys will be like. Come on AZ, finish the counts and save the cutie from that!

Do you know that many world leaders actually like Trump? These are usually the smaller countries who has been bullied by China. They like the fact that Trump was "tough" on China. My friend works at the UN and she told me many times.

Was Kamala jogging at the time? That is - Vice President Elect. Oh, I like the sound of that.

I won’t be satisfied until Bullshit Barbie is put in a cage and pissed on.

[quote]Rudy is a clown, i wonder what job he's possibly eyeing after that ridiculous bs he's pulling

Third gaffer on Sacha Baron Cohen's next film.

R78 And your dad works at Nintendo, right?

[quote]Also, don't think just because we're gonna have a new Prez, the virus problem will be solved.

Just wait - Rethugs will suddenly discover we have the worst pandemic in our lifetime, and start blaming Biden for the infections and death toll.

[Quote] Do you know that many world leaders actually like Trump?

I've no doubt they find him amusing.

Trump will not leave quietly until he gets some kind of guarantee that NY AG will not go after him...that's what he's gonna do. You can bet on that.

Joe and Mika need to STFU going on and on about how we have to “understand the Trump supporters pain”

No. We don’t actually. We should put them all into the concentration camps on the border.

^^ no

R85 Then let him go loudly, who gives a shit?

R85 - and Lettie will laugh at him!

[quote]Also, don't think just because we're gonna have a new Prez, the virus problem will be solved.

Oh, you mean it's not a hoax anymore? No more "herd immunity" and reopen everything? No more, "old people were gonna die anyway"???

You people sicken me.

[quote]so how many people are gonna get a virus from the celebrations? They are cheering loudly and screaming...

People are wearing masks, concern troll.

[quote] "Anyone else picturing RBG, John Lewis and John McCain high-fiving and smiling down on us right now?"

Not me. Not picturing that at all.

R78 Trump hasnt done anything on China. He just let China bully its way in the South China Sea. China props corrupt populist leaders in asia and africa, these populist fascist leaders like China and like Trump, they and Trump are all in this together.

DON'T ENGAGE THE TROLLS

F&F, PUNCH, and DELETE

He'll go alright. Plus he has no power to negociate. He's ovah.

Watching Deplorables freak out. My feed is filled with them melting down and posting replies on everyone's messages that say, "Enjoy your socialist country!"

[quote]Trump will not leave quietly until he gets some kind of guarantee that NY AG will not go after him...that's what he's gonna do. You can bet on that.

WHO CARES? There is no longer one single thing of relevance the man can do.

Leave quietly? WHO CARES?

some kind of guarantee that NY AG will not go after him? HE NO LONGER HAS ANYTHING TO OFFER.

Biden's 290 electoral votes to Trump's 214 is quite a comfortable margin. And let's not forget that it was the electoral college that won the election for Trump in 2016, with 304 well-placed electoral votes vs. Clinton's 227. He lost the popular vote to Clinton by nearly 3 million.

[quote] Haha on Trump thinking he has court battles ahead - the judges are throwing that nonsense out!

Trump and his family will keep the grift going where they ask for others to fund their frivolous lawsuits, and their exit to a new country because they are being treated so unfairly by the Deep State.

He doesn't need to leave quietly and he's not going to get that guarantee.

He just needs to leave and he will.

To all on Datalounge,

I am so sorry I was the Debbie Downer about this election. My nightmare scenario of this turd getting in again just got the best of me. I am truly sorry, I should not have doubted the positivity on the election threads.

I am the happiest I have been since that awful night when he got elected. It has been a daily nightmare that has given me PTSD, along with others like me. I am not particulary ever totally confident in my Democratic Party to do the right thing.

This time things turned out.

Congrats to us all. We with our votes saved a nation from total destruction.

A five caftan salute to all of us with a minute of yummmmmm!

It will be sweet when his federally funded golf parade motorcade returns to DC from Virginia and will HAVE to drive down roads packed with people celebrating his rejection by the country.

I hope the party lasts all night and keeps that whole grifter family awake.

[quote]He should not have been granted security clearance!

He wasn't. Dump approved a fraudulent one for him.

Fired from the only job he ever had that somebody other than his father gave him.

Looser!

The entire White House will need to be fumigated when the Dumps leave. The Covid is everywhere.

I believe Georgia and the single Electoral Vote from Nebraska will end up in Biden's column giving him a total EC total of 307, one more than Trump in 2016!

R105, Really. The place is like a plague house in the 1500's!

LOSER !

Good god, Wolf is even louder in person

Can't wait for the next Kayleigh McANINNY press conference to hear what lie she's going to puke out. But then they may just decide to fuck off with the press conferences at this piont. Her salary needs to be cut off today quite frankly. There's nothing more for her to do. Along with Stephen Miller and many others in the White House. Why should the taxpayers fund those scumbags for 2 more months while they just sit around whining, doing no work.

R106, NE2 is already added to Biden. GA will most definitely ended up with Biden too. The final count will be 306 at least. That's exact reverse of the 2016 result!

Someone weighs in. LOL.

Mr Trump is so tired of winning.

Times said he won Nevada!

From Canada: Congratulations, America. I'm emotional about this and so happy, so relieved. Want to see footage of everyone dancing in the streets. Thank god you got rid of him. Thank God Thank God Thank God.

[quote]Wow what's the temperature in DC that people are in t-shirts ?? I'm freezing my butt off in Europe

It's 73° F here (23° C). We are heading over after a stop at the liquor store. In shorts.

Warnock and Ossoff in January.

Gawd, I wonder what tacky monstrosity Trump's presidential library will be - assuming his illiterate ass even erects one.

Twitter trends

Kasich.... Democrats need to listen to the other half of the country.

Bullshit politics. That Biden's policies wouldn't help ALL the country. Immediate default... us v them.

Already the cries and demands that "Joe Biden must bring this country together!", of course.

Why was it NEVER ONCE demanded of Donald Trump to bring Americans together?

Of course not, he just needed to own the libs.

Please find tweets of mourning deplorables. I want to taste their suffering.

I love that the #2 and #3 in the US are women (Harris and Nancy P!) Progress~

I'll listen to the other side when they drop all that 4chan psychopathic violent doubletalk bullshit and start behaving like human beings.

[quote]There are many great leaders in Europe, they have handled it well but still they are struggling....

And in Asia? There are countries who have had no CASES in months, let alone deaths.

Europe's pretty fucked up with Kremlin-driven politics and far-right citizens.

The U.S. knows how to stop pandemics. Has dozens of times before. It just didn't this time, and we all know why.

Much hooting, hollering, and honking here in West Hollywood. Meanwhile in Chicago, my mother (who lives in Lakeview) says it's very quiet, which is odd, given how blue Chicago is.

Yes, we'll listen when they apologize for spending years calling Democrats, satanic, pedophile cannibals.

Hi Everybody from Charlottesville. This moment is surreal, to say the least, and will greatly help heal the lingering wounds here.

Never have to read another one of his tweets.

Never have to hear him whine again.

Never have to listen to him attempt to be funny again.

Never have to hear another of his rants.

Never have to hear another of his lame-ass nicknames for anybody.

Never have to see that ridiculous hair-like substance.

Never have to look for the line in his ugly, ugly makeup.

Never have to see his ass while he golfs.

Never have to see him stuffed into a tuxedo.

Anything else?

Kasich, weeping concern troll: I don't need to listen to 70 million people who have made their deplorable racist and xenophobic hatred known to the rest of us since 2008.

Kasich is one fucking annoying old man.

We forgive you R101. I, at least, felt for you.

They all need to STFU until Monday, at least. We deserve an unfettered celebration.

I, myself, will be wearing my mask, otherwise the Trump Supporters (3 to 1 in my county) will see my jubilant smile when I go to the cannabis dispensary.

What R3 said X infinity. Next to our winning the presidency, these two run off seats in Georgia are the next most important to secure. Without them in the Senate, we get crypt keeper McConnell, which then = Insufferable Gridlock.

Go Georgia and Stephanie Abrams!

The first one-term president in thirty years. The first to lose the popular vote twice. The only president to sabotage his own campaign by telling his supporters not to mail-in votes during a deadly pandemic.

So now that social distancing is pretty much gone and crowds are flooding our streets do we have a chance of getting a traditional inauguration?

I'm going to take today and tomorrow to celebrate the fuck out of this. NYC is going crazy right now and I am just thrilled and grateful to be in a place where I can safely enjoy this win.

We all need to take the time to celebrate, do some self care, and be ready for the next fight. Because the next 2 months are going to be straight up DANGEROUS. Trump is going to loot, burn, and bomb everyfuckingthing and body as he's dragged out.

But, that we can worry about starting Monday. This weekend is nothing but fiesta!

R130: we never have to listen to his fucking weak chinned/weak willed kids again.

Thanks, R101! The daily insanity of working with two MAGA/conspiracy/Covid 19 conspiracy fuckwits took a toll on me. It's been a very hard four years.

Indeed.

R118 the presidential library

R138 no way. I love the crowds out there but it’s very dangerous. The US is in deep trouble with covid currently

The work is not done. We have to give money to the two Dems running in the run-offs in Georgia.

oops! Meant R133. I am so happy I can't even type! R141 here.

Playing the 4th mvmt. of Copland's Third Symphony right now.

So glad!

[quote]Gawd, I wonder what tacky monstrosity Trump's presidential library will be

It will be in a toilet stall in a bathroom at Mar-A-Lago.

R137, don't forget his other major act of self-sabotage: insult the late favorite son war hero of a State you need to win.

Rosie

Biden and Harris need to saturate GA cities and suburbs for Ossoff and Warnock in the coming months.

I hope they revert the Rose Garden back to how it was before Melanoma shat all over it.

AOC and Bernie are of course already making bizarre, unsupportive DSA comments as if THEY won this election, and bashing the Lincoln Project's juggernaut of advertising against Trump!

She really is a useless piece of work. I really hate her. We can count on her being a total hindrance to progress under President Joe Biden.

R33, it really is a beautiful day here in DC area. I have my windows open and contemplating a bike ride down to the White House. Will be able to wear shorts and a linen shirt. I just can't tear myself away from the tv coverage!

Congratulations from Nancy!!!

JLD with the perfect tweet.

Is the Slovenian Whore consoling him with her "Be Best!" slogan?

Is his fuck buddy Ivanka advising him to "Find something new!"?

The cheering in NYC has been going on for 90 minutes now.

ON AND ON, WE WILL COME, THERE ARE SCORES OF US!

ON AND ON, HERE WE COME, THERE ARE MORE OF US!

We also need to talk about who's going to run for Kamala's senate seat in California.

Some fun.

I hope they tear down Trump Tower with their bare hands, R158!

I feel a bit claustrophobic looking at the vid of Kamala out jogging with the secret service looming behind her. I couldn't live like that.

But how well we now look on the world stage with the beautiful Ms Harris as our MVP and a kind, decent man in charge. We're coming back world, thanks for believing we could.

Next week, R160. Steep in the joy!

What a relief. America wouldn't have survived a second Trump term.

Lawrence O’Donnell looks horrible!

So proud of you.

Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada on the result of the U.S. presidential election

November 7, 2020 Ottawa, Ontario

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on the result of the U.S. presidential election:

“On behalf of the Government of Canada, I congratulate Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on their election as the next President and Vice President of the United States of America.

“Canada and the United States enjoy an extraordinary relationship – one that is unique on the world stage. Our shared geography, common interests, deep personal connections, and strong economic ties make us close friends, partners, and allies. We will further build on this foundation as we continue to keep our people safe and healthy from the impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and work to advance peace and inclusion, economic prosperity, and climate action around the world.

“I look forward to working with President-elect Biden, Vice President-elect Harris, their administration, and the United States Congress as we tackle the world’s greatest challenges together.”

R152, maybe they could take donations to restore the Rose Garden. If taxpayers pay for it, Republicans will attack them ceaselessly.

I hope somebody starts a GoFundMe.

Jake Tapper, who must at least be a gay in spirit, offered a marvellously bitchy aside when he said: A wonderful message from former governor Jeb Bush. It would be nice if we heard something similar from Republicans currently holding office.

Lol all the world leaders congratulating Biden even tho trump hasn’t conceding. Tells you everything you need to know

[quote]Jesus can't hear you, cunts!!

I hear them just fine.

I don't know them.

@EmmanuelMacron

The Americans have chosen their President. Congratulations @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris ! We have a lot to do to overcome today’s challenges. Let's work together!

[quote] I'm sure NY will give Jared & Ivanka a warm welcome when they return

I think the good ole tradition of tarring and feathering unwanted scum before running them out of town has been underutilized lately.

R171 We may have the final embarrassment of world leaders coming out as saying they acknowledge Joe Biden as president as not Trump as they do for elections in the third world. Sigh.

New Yorkers, I have faith you will never let Trump and his spawns live peacefully in your city.

Boris Johnson congratulates

Barack Obama:

Let Dump contest the results when the world leaders are already filing congratulations to Joe and Kamala.

Has Putin tweeted?

Kamala's updated Wiki page -- "Kamala Harris; Vice President-elect of the United States"

Damn, it feels good to read that.

Biden wins electorally and popular vote.

That is a mandate.

Jake Tapper with glasses = DILF alert

Franklin Graham, an evangelist who has stood by Mr. Trump throughout his presidency, expressed concern about the accuracy of the results.

“The election isn’t over,” he said. “This is going to have to go to the courts.”

This severe Trumpism may someday be considered a mental disorder.

Jake Tapper has been choking back tears for the past 2 hours. Let those tears flow!!!!

This clip needs to be scored by John Williams.

Trump knew they were about to call it.

Hence, he golfed.

[quote]Do you know that many world leaders actually like Trump? These are usually the smaller countries who has been bullied by China. They like the fact that Trump was "tough" on China. My friend works at the UN and she told me many times.

No actual world leader thinks Orange has been tough on China; the U.S. has taken no actions that have harmed China or otherwise caused it to change its course. "Tough on China" is a media meme the campaign created to influence uninformed citizens.

Look at all of that big, beautiful BLUE growing out west.

Montana, you're next!

Rachel is on covid quarantine at home and speaking to Lawrence on MSNBC right now.

If Trump refuses to attend the inauguration, they should get that big diaper baby Trump balloon and fly it over the Mall.

Hope remains!!!

I'm crying! (Watch to the end.)

MSNBC -- Rachel calling in to Lawrence O'Donnell right now; you know they're loving this.

Is the Secret Service going to be able to get Trump back into the White House, without him seeing crowds and hearing the cheers (or boos)?

SNL has some last minute writing to do right now!

Though they probably prepared diff scripts and skits beforehand.

Perfect song for the day

I wonder how QAnon is doing right now?

There has never been a lame duck as lame as this one will be. Outside of the Executive Office, no one is going to carry out any of his commandments anymore. I just hope the career civil servants have been keeping good records and archiving emails.

Dear Dataloungers, I am so happy for you. Savour every moment of this win. After the hell you have been through you deserve every moment.

R180 that’s why we all wanted it called already. Now all that bullshit really is just noise.

Yee-hahhhh we did it! I cried when it happened and I knew I would. Bye bitch!

Another desperate email from the Trump campaign. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[quote]“The election isn’t over,” he said. “This is going to have to go to the courts.”

And this will die in the courts.

Face it, buddy, God is not on your side today.

r199 great minds!! Came here to post the same thing

[quote]"Enjoy your socialist country!"

I will. Like you and your family has been since 1933.

R198, I'm sure they're long practiced in the art of distracting him.

[quote]Trump will not leave quietly until he gets some kind of guarantee that NY AG will not go after him.

If you know Tish James, you can be confident this guarantee will never be given.

[quote]Kasich.... Democrats need to listen to the other half of the country.

Why? They sure as hell don't give a shit to listen to us.

Also, they're not half the country.

Rachel is glowing! She looks so pretty.

Luke Broadwater, in Washington 1m ago

Senator Josh Hawley, Republican of Missouri, said the election wasn’t settled. “The media do not get to determine who the president is,” he said. “The people do.”

When Hillary lost, SNL had Kate Mckinnon (as Hillary) sing "Hallelujah"; I hope they have a song in mind for Maya Rudolph and Jim Carrey tonight ("We Got You, Babe", maybe?)

The Lame Fuck is The Lamest Duck.

Delusional Diamond & Silk

Your bullshit expiration date has past.

Retweeting Matt Schlapp?

The ignorance is so sad.

Again, in retrospect, knowing what we know now, I cannot imagine any of the other Dem primary candidates pulling this off. Whew!

More cowbell!

Bells are ringing in Paris

YAY!

[quote]We also need to talk about who's going to run for Kamala's senate seat in California.

No one is going to "run" for her seat. Her replacement will be appointed by the governor.

I think Republicans need to understand our side better. Fuck John Kasich. Weirdo.

The Mooch

R211 with the stupid electoral college they get half the say... which is bullshit and why this country will never progress much.

NBC says that Biden will start announcing his cabinet appointments this coming week.

Can't wait 'til my Trump loving repug neighbor calls me to complain.

Too bad, so sad. Suck it up, buttercup!

Do not EVER call me again, I don't care if you and/or your house is on fire.

You and your 'tard daughter can eat shit.

For all the talk about how trump would react and how scary it sounded, in reality it’s just sad, pathetic, and small.

I'm seeing people on Twitter calling for Biden voters to be empathetic towards the Trump voters and reach out to them.

Nah. I have sufficient.

Is "Diamond & Silk" a comedy dup? Televangelists?

[quote]Why? They sure as hell don't give a shit to listen to us. Also, they're not half the country.

When you expected to increase House majority but instead lose House seats, you need to recalibrate your thinking. Democrats aren't a leftist party. They are a coalition and let's face it, in a divided Congress with bare majorities (still tbd in Senate), how exactly can you shut out the other side.

Half the country voted for Dump, if you haven't yet figured that out.

I'm so happy today. But putting blinders on and pretending the country is AOC-liberal is shooting yourself in the foot.

[quote]NBC says that Biden will start announcing his cabinet appointments this coming week.

How much is an ambassadorship going for these days? I'm thinking Switzerland would be nice.

I know one thing for sure. I am getting absolutely drunk as a skunk fucked up tonight.

Unsung heroes of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election:

Beau Biden

Jim Clyburn

John Lewis

Stacey Abrams

unnamed Biden campaign staff

both Obamas

African Americans

Native Americans

fucking Georgia

Dogs back in the White House!

Fairly obvious PA, NV and AZ. coordinated to let PA take Joe over the top considering his relationship with PA.

Makes sense now

I'd add Biden's campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon R236

Payback, asshole

[quote][R211] with the stupid electoral college they get half the say... which is bullshit and why this country will never progress much.

The Electoral College worked this time, as it usually does in correlating with the popular vote.

[quote]Go Georgia and Stephanie Abrams!

Who?

I’m sure this is very bittersweet for Joe because Beau isn’t here to see it

Stacey is a fucking QUEEN.

If only Bea was here to perform at the Inauguration...

I'm overly excited for the downard humiliation spiral to rev up and begin full force for Trump and all of the Trump toadies. I will savor it, revel in it, celebrate it.

The celebrations breaking out across the country are pretty exciting to see. Trump should really just kill himself and push the excitement levels off the charts.

Trump will fundraise off recount dreams in a way that will make Jill Stein look like a kid selling lemonade. And I know a lot of you bitches gave her money.

Think of all the deplorables who still feel so special to get an email from Orange and feel duty-bound to send him $100 from their disability check. And all those "self made" people who will send $1,000 in the hopes that their taxes won't go up by $1,200 in order for their fellow citizens to have health care.

(R236) Don't forget Asians and Hispanics (except dips hits Cubans).

Romney has officially congratulated Joe

I am sure most of the Trump votes were from Russian hackers to outnumber the coming Liberal absentee votes. They miscalculated.

R253, yes! They made a HUGE part of why Nevada and Arizona have turned blue! The west is being won by Democrats.

R236 Cindy McCain.

[quote]I'm seeing people on Twitter calling for Biden voters to be empathetic towards the Trump voters and reach out to them.

SUCK IT UP, BUTTERCUP!!!

Lock Him Up!

CINDY! Always hated her before but now... Queen of Arizona! Just like she always wanted.

Megan is not a princess - it's not that kind of royalty.

Do you think could pull off running an infotainment network? I can't imagine he'd have the wherewithal.

The Treason Threads become the TRIAL threads.

R231 that’s why the loser traditionally makes a beautiful concession speech. Otherwise, they can suck it.

[quote] 'm seeing people on Twitter calling for Biden voters to be empathetic towards the Trump voters and reach out to them.

I sure wish Republican Madison Cawthorn had gotten that memo to act more graceful when he won his house seat. You know, lead by example.

Wow, look at these crowds; I hope they're all at least masked up!

A Bountyful day!

I doubt she ever has commented on U.S. politics, but since she should have zero fucks to give now, I wish Queen Elizabeth would have Buckingham Palace issue a statement of congratulations to the U.K.'s special friend, the U.S., on another orderly transition of government.

[quote]I'm seeing people on Twitter calling for Biden voters to be empathetic towards the Trump voters and reach out to them.

The Trump voters need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps and stop looking for handouts and sympathy.

They are R265! So much (safe) joy!

R263, an excellent point I will repeat for the next 11 weeks!

Shade.

Investigations begin in late January! Expose everything they did.

Miss Lindsey was broke?

She gives half a million dollars to help fund Trump's bogus lawsuits.

I am making a commitment to try to be nicer to MAGA voters. It doesn't cost me. The most powerful thing I've seen in the past decade... those women from Mother Emanuel AME Church, after that horrendous massacre of their loved ones and relatives in 2015. "I forgive you" because that frees me. Those women should run the world.

Trump and MAGA have cruelly hurt millions and millions, and I will struggle with all my strength to fight those policies, those dark values... but my heart will be free if I try to tell them I love them, forgive them.

Forward.

I have yet to see a single Biden/Harris celebrating person in the street without a mask.

NOT ONE. I haven't seen a big group of people other than idiot trumptards in almost a year.

The Poosey Hat!

GOODBYE PIGEON-HEADED WHORE

FUCK OFF, weirdo MAGAt at R377!

I’m a little worried about some Electoral College shenanigans, namely one of the GOP state legislatures appointing its own Electors. The only thing that might give them pause is knowing the kind of unrest that would likely create.

Swipe to the last photo. Go Lady Liberty!

Memes galore!

Mitt and Jeb have congratulated Biden.

One major conclusion from watching Kornacki wind-milling at the Big Board:

Every fucking vote counts! Drill that into the heads of every one you know.

[Quote] The man couldn't run a lemonade stand. Everything he touches ends up bankrupt and in legal battles

Could he be the figurehead, though? Like Jessica Simpson and her shoes? Or Rihanna and the beauty products?

I don't think we've seen the last of him. My hope is that his overbearing personality has bore down so heavily on his children that none of them will succeed him as a troublemaker.

I picture Dr. Fauci going for a run while listening to this and doing a little dance:

By the time Ivanka is done shredding, there won't be any papers left for a Trump Presidential Library.

Will Melanie call Jill and invite her over?

It hasn't been said yet, so I will. The Secret Service has got to mobilize in a major way to protect our President Elect Biden. There are tens of thousands of crazies out there just mad enough to try something before his inauguration.

We did it bitches!

Yes, good title R262 “The Treason Threads become the TRIAL threads.”

Because as soon as that motherfucker leaves office, he is going to get his eyes ripped out of his head by the Southern District of Manhattan’s Attorney General, Letitia James. She will bring NY State charges against trump, and he will not have immunity. Stocking up on popcorn now.

[Quote] There are tens of thousands of crazies out there just mad enough to try something before his inauguration.

Wouldn't that hand the presidency to a black woman?

R293, when it comes to business acumen, Jessica Simpson and Rihanna are infinitely more successful than Trump will ever be.

omg, you cunts are so fucking stupid. The virus can enter via your EYES! virus can travel more than 6 feet esp if you're screaming and shouting. Some virus escapes even if wearing a mask, esp if not worn properly.

Also, many younger people are asymptomatic!

At a time when TV is moving rapidly to streaming, launching a cable network is not a good move.

A paid Trump app might work and would allow him to be isolated in his bubble where you'd have to pay to see him.

Talk radio and podcasts may be his best bet.

It seems to have escaped the attention of everyone that America has an Indian Vice President.

[quote]I don't think we've seen the last of him.

Agree, unfortunately he's not going away. He'll try to run in 2024 -- or at least pretend he will to keep the adulating MAGAts in his pocket and be a GOP king-maker.

Jill, tear this shit OUT.

Steve Schmidt's tweet to Ivanka.

Is this what you call READ AND GATHERED???

Goodbye @IvankaTrump. You will be loved by the people you disdain and disdained by the people you want to be loved by. There will never be a Met Ball for you again. You are fated to live out your years as an aging, corrupt, villainous Barbie; paying the price for what you did.

I don't want the Slovenian Covid whore anywhere near Dr Jill

MSNBC: Lawrence O'Donnell chats with Rachel Maddow in quarantine...

Melania is a disease-ridden whore. Everyone should stay FAR away.

People are dancing in the streets of major cities, blowing car horns and cheering in suburbs.

The GOP must be taken aback by how much celebration there is.

[quote] Agree, unfortunately he's not going away. He'll try to run in 2024 -- or at least pretend he will to keep the adulating MAGAts in his pocket and be a GOP king-maker.

King maker?? Oh, that's a good one! Thanks!

Politically, he'll have no power to speak of but he and his turd offspring and adjacents will keep grifting and conning MAGA and QAnon fools. Just like Alex Jones does.

I admit, I was very doubtful earlier this year about Biden/Harris, thank heavens, I was wrong, wrong, WRONG!

Why the fuck is Maddow wearing a mask in her own home? Is there an open beaver just off camera?

Trump is going to focus on grifting his base as his last career. Now that the federal government grift is going to end, 100% of his income will be suckering his base. They deserve each other. The deplorables will bankrupt themselves buying Trump trinkets (Made in China of course) and support him and his demon spawn for many years.

Fox News is showing people dancing happily in the streets of DC, NY, Philadelphia... while Chris Wallace is throwing cold water on the notion that any legal machinations could actually work.

Chuck

Maddow was exposed to covid. she's at home "isolating"

The writing was on the wall when scum-sucker Murdoch and his Faux News dumped Dump's ass.

Brooklyn & the USPS

Maddow just put the mask on at the end of the interview.

Of the many, many things we need to change about our elections, a three month lame duck period should be top of the list. God knows what the fuck trump is gonna do

Please, tell Donald. I wanted him to know it was me.

If anyone's still counting:

"November 7 - 11:35 AM Dispatch: The Elections Division has announced that another 7,253 votes have been added to the Allegheny County vote total, bringing the number of votes cast to 702,315. Of those, 5,184 votes were cast for Biden and 1,893 votes were cast for Trump."

SNL had better deliver tonight.

[quote]Politically, he'll have no power to speak of

He owns the MAGAts and Deplorables, and they are the GOP primary voters.

Hope the fever will break and MAGAts will move on after he's hopefully convicted and put in prison, but not holding my breath.

Well, unless she lives inside a crowded Starbucks, she doesn't need the mask.

(Someone who will never forget that cunt actually asked people to pray for Trump after he announced he had COVID and sucked on his ass so hard it's no wonder she's in quarantine.)

A President WHO OWNS BOOK.

Be still my heart.

In fact Rachel Maddow talks so long and so loud her droplets are spread through the internet, so the mask is necessary.

R343 It's also the day of the Buddha's birthday. A propitious day in so many ways.

[quote]Not if you don't live in a swing state.

Tell that to Max Rose who's losing his House seat on non-swing NY.

People need to realize they need to vote in every fucking election, for every fucking seat. Dems didn't turn any Repub state house if I'm not mistaken. With the new census and Republicans in power across states, expect more gerrymandering.

R345 Please calm down and try to find forgiveness. smh

Max Rose lost because his district is mostly Staten Island which is full of racist blue collar deplorables.

Biden's wife will continue teaching as First Lady (another first).

So much awesome going on here... esp. the dig at Cuomo...

This is so great. Just makes me happy.

R346 That picture made me tear up.

What's next with slimeball Murdoch and his Faux media empire...

[quote]Fox's conservative stars gave guests uncritical time to make baseless claims bashing the integrity of the electoral system, as Trump has for weeks.

[quote] Murdoch's conservatism is tempered by his pragmatism. He is always in the business of finding a way to do business. And he very much wants to back a winner. Which means, at times, that Murdoch and his properties pivot — severely.

[quote]And it's pretty clear what Fox News would look like under a Biden administration: giving airtime to potential Republican presidential hopefuls and attacking Joe and Hunter Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and young progressive House stars, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. As much as Murdoch covets access to power, his media outlets are always most at home in muscular opposition.

[quote]Max Rose lost because his district is mostly Staten Island which is full of racist blue collar deplorables.

But NY isn't a swing state. And he won it in 2018, together with a bunch of seats similar to his which guess what, gave the House to the Dems.

So like I said, every vote counts, and stop with the only-swing-states shit. People need to readjust their thinking if we don't want to lose the House in 2022.

The video of van jones crying is ridiculous. Someone give him an Emmy!

I'm torn on the Van thing. It was a genuine moment and a reflection of so much pent up feeling and experience.

But I can't stand Van Jones. Used to think he was great but he's an operator.

Give me Bakari Sellers any day.

CNN is spending its afternoon going over why Joe Biden didn't win by as much as he should have.

Fuck them. Seriously, fuck them

Faux News suddenly cares about social distancing while reporting on the cheering crowds.

Speaking of Emmys. I hope win an Emmy for impersonating Kamala.

First woman in the WH to keep her birth name too or am I missing someone?

[Quote] It was a genuine moment

You have a terrible bullshit detector. His performance wouldn't pass muster at a community theatre.

R363 I can love that moment.. that honest emotion, that release, and yearning for a better world for one's kids....

... and also admit that Van is too willing to try to win the approval of folks that will never, ever like him

Susan Sarandon hasn't tweeted anything yete. I guess she's waiting to retweet something by Sanders. She posted still a day ago "Bernie would have won". Idiot.

Maddow’s wife has health issues and, even if she didn’t, why the fuck would she want to potentially infect her?

For some reason, Melania is trending on Twitter.

I think people are fascinated by her because we're so sexist, so caught up in the Madonna myth, that we can't quite believe the President's wife isn't benign.

PARTY !

LOL

[quote]First woman in the WH to keep her birth name too or am I missing someone?

Yeah. You're missing the fact that the VP isn't in the White House.

How long does 18 holes of golf last?

Trump is busy beating Lindsey with a nine iron.

I’m interested to see how quickly the courts can shit him down. They’ll recount GA, but other than actually recounting it, there’s nothing much else they can do, and it will come out the same. PA is too large a margin. NV will be too large a margin. Will judges hear their complaints about other states when Pennsylvania is already a fine deal? What’s their grounds for trying to flip a few votes in GA when it doesn’t make any difference?

What's the Bounty thing about?

When the moron threw paper towels at Puerto Ricans who had no water or electricity.

Just now on Fox: "...now that Joe Biden has topped President Trump"

There's a visual image...

R376 - do you think Lindsey is trying to talk some sense into Trump's head,

Oh wait, never mind. I'm so happy I can't think straight.

R379, a reference to Trump throwing paper towels to a crowd in Puerto Rico after the hurricane devastated the island

R379, trump visited puerto rico after hurricane maria and threw paper towels at hurricane victims

it didn't go over well.

then or now.

R377, sorry, *shut* him down. After Trump is gone, I never want to hear shit connected with the POTUS again.

To the 70 Million people who voted for Trump:

FUCK YOU!!

Thanks. One wonder what the thought behind the paper towels gesture was...

Celebrities and people in general on Twitter will finally stop tweeting about politics non stop as they did the past four years, this will be a very healing prospect for everybody's mental health. We can all resume fighting over music charts, tv shows and movie trailers !

Listening to Pete on MSNBC, I am definitely thinking Press Secretary or Chief of Staff.

[quote]I'm so happy I can't think straight.

That's because you're queer, dear.

The people who got paper towel through at them were homeless, without supplies and no idea what the future held for them.

So maybe it was kind of a visual metaphor.

Please tell me you're not a detective.

CNN said that California isn't even finished counting with several Democratic areas yet to be included. So that gap that President elect Biden has will absolutely widen substantially.

Buttigieg’s voice makes me horny

I just woke up to the good news.

Pete is looking very handsome today.

R160 Newsom will appoint someone.

Der Spiegel then:

I bet money he loses it and storms the press room yet tonight. He won't be able to cope.

I can't wait until we next see awful Ivanka.

They won't do anything now - it will be all about lawyering up.

Der Spiegel now:

Michelle Obama @MichelleObama · 17m Van, thank you for expressing the sorrow and relief that we all feel. My hope is that those who hoped for a different outcome will take a moment to empathize with the pain so many of us have felt over the past four years

I've sure this has been mentioned but Biden and Kamala will start assembling a COVID taskforce Monday.

Damn. Feels good to have real leadership again.

I would like to be appointed Pete's fluffer.

I would like to be appointed Pete's fluffer.

Pete is not going to be chief of staff. Especially with a potentially divided government, Biden will choose someone with decades of experience in Washington who had relationships on the hill. It will be Ron Klain

[quote] Maddow’s wife has health issues and, even if she didn’t, why the fuck would she want to potentially infect her?

Why would she potentially infect her if she's isolating?? I'm sure they have a house large enough that they can stay safely away from each other.

r400 Der Spiegel has the best Trump covers

There’s no way trump doesn’t speak tonight but I would bet the networks won’t show it. I can see him scheduling something to go against Biden at 8pm

I think Pete B. should be Biden's press secretary. That's a more prominent and important job than a second-tier cabinet position like VA secretary.

Ha, ha - People's Daily, China

[quote]Listening to Pete on MSNBC, I am definitely thinking Press Secretary or Chief of Staff.

We went over this already.

Press Secretary and Chief of Staff aren't a catapult positions for someone like Pete who has high political ambitions. These positions are held by POTUS close insiders and such people usually don't go on into electoral politics (Trump WH excepted as an aberration).

very likely long-time Biden insider Ron Klain will be CoS.

Pete should want a cabinet post which is why people speculate UN Ambassador or Sec of Veteran Affairs.

Pete has a big dick I just know it.

MSNBC: Lawrence O'Donnell talking to Pete Buttigieg from his kitchen in the "deep red state of Indiana..."

Now I wait with anticipation the breaking news that Rush Limbaugh is dead, and Vladimir Putin has left office

Apologies if somewhat off-topic but Steve Boulton just came on defending the soon-to-be former President. Something about him reminds me of Jeff Gannon. Cadence, tone or something. Not starting any tinfoil theories as he has the wrong initials of course. It’s bugging me. I’m having a severe vertigo episode though. Is it just me?

lol!

No, R233, wrong. Half the country did not vote for him. Stop that narrative.

Katie Porter, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Eric Garcetti already calling Gavin Newsome concerning Kamala's senate seat.

R415 Both could happen by Feb. Rush = cancer. Putin = already announced his retirement for health reasons.

Eric Garcetti?? NO THANK YOU.

The Fat Fuck still hasn't tweeted lol

MSNBC says yes, Biden won Nevada and it’s 279.

NBC News Now says no, it’s still 273.

Weird.

To all the orange turd supporters on here. BIDEN is PRESIDENT and there isn't a goddamned thing you can do about it. Maybe you all can lick each other's wounded pussies in a cesspool somewhere in the bible belt. And of course, you have my thoughts and prayers hon.

Garcetti is highly damaged goods. Story on him a few weeks back about shielding a staffer who's caused no end of #metoo ugliness. But Garcetti stayed loyal, to everyone's confusion. Very trick pick.

No celebration in Weho park, but people are at the dog runs. There are people celebrating in Santa Monica around San Vicente, but in no particular location. Is there anything in Beverly Hills?

R429, they accept mail in ballots 19 days after the 3rd.

R411 I think he would be great in a more public facing position, but I do understand the need for Pete to seek a cabinet-level spot. I would still love to see him doing press-briefings - his gentle assassinations are sexy.

Schiff for Senate please. He’s my congressman.

r429 r430 r431 = Karen Bass

Ah. Thanks, R434

Pete is made for Chief of Staff.

[quote]Katie Porter, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Eric Garcetti already calling Gavin Newsome concerning Kamala's senate seat.

Hopefully they know how to spell his last name.

I read one of the strikes against Katie Porter is she is white and it's tricky to appoint to a seat someone who isn't of colour to follow someone of colour. Nomination and election are different matters. Plus, Porter's district is still lean Republican. Nobody's keen to open the door to opportunity. Although you could argue that leans in Porter's favour... if they regard her as a long term asset and star they might protect her that way... really depends on how the party leadership and establishment sees her. I wouldn't think she is a strong best, esp,. if Karen Bass, who is so well regarded and was a VP potential, is suited to it.

R428, they aren't counting/releasing results until after they get the mail votes. That deadline was end of yesterday.

R233 Well, Dump had four years to figure out "that more than half the people" voted for Hillary back in 2016, but just ignored that. He didn't win the popular vote back then, and didn't now.

Pete does not have the experience to be Chief of Staff. Full stop. Especially in a divided Congress, which this is more likely than not to be.

He would be wasted as press secretary. That's a terrible job for someone who wants a future in public life. The whole point of it is to avoid saying anything to get the president into trouble.

R439, maybe so but he won't be Chief of Staff.

Pete would be a fantastic Chief of Staff and Pete will not be CoS, he's the future of the Democratic Party. Biden needs a trusted friend in that position, Klain's a good bet.

Pete will continue to move up. He's in it for the long haul.

R429, correction - 9 days, not 19.

Faux viewers are forced to watch live footage of the huge jubilant crowds at the White House, and all across American cities.

Suck it, deplorables!

How long before Melania tries to suck Hunter Biden's dick?

Here’s an interesting article from Der Spiegel. They say EU leaders think Biden will be tied up with a bunch of lawsuits and between that and the Congress, how much can Biden do?

I think the lawsuits will probably be cleared faster than people think. Trump doesn’t have any standing. Biden won in too many different states. Take any one away and he still wins. Then once they count the rest of California and some others, he’ll probably gain a million votes. I can’t see the Supreme Court going out of their way to change an election Biden won by about five million votes. They’d look like they were committing an open coup. We just have to wait until they finish counting the states and certify them.

I think Republicans didn’t realize how quickly Biden would be accepted by foreign leaders. It’s too late to try to reverse it now, it’s a done deal. The states all knew they were going to be challenged, they’re being extra careful not to give Trump legal grounds. Even Trumpers understand public opinion matters. It’s a losing proposition. The rank and file MAGAts may think screaming is going to change something, but it won’t change the legal cases. Trump can scream himself blue, but the Supreme Court can’t change an obvious large loss to a Trump win.

Why would Pete be a fantastic Chief of Staff? Compare him to say, James Baker. Or Leon Panetta. Please. Make your case. I think a lot of Pete and 100% agree he's got a bright and long future in the party. But he's nowhere near qualified for the role of Chief of Staff.

CNN chyron: Cities Erupt in Celebration after Biden Beats Trump

R436, Schiff for Speaker of the House when Nancy retires.

Pete B. will get Susan Rice's old job as the Ambassador to the United Nations. That will give him the foreign policy experience and credentials he needs for a future run at the presidency.

R453 Great idea!

[quote]I think Republicans didn’t realize how quickly Biden would be accepted by foreign leaders. I

Proof they're morons.

Since Biden is a Democrat who believes in treating people fairly, does this mean EVERYONE at the White House state dinner will get two scoops now?

Ill second Schiff for Speaker.

I have a soft spot for his crazy eyes and AI like personality.

Trump got an ego boost from some fat deplorables getting married at his golf course.

Coronavirus as the wedding gift. Perfect for any MAGAt in your life!

I'm the one who thinks Chief of Staff for Pete is a idiotic fangurling, but I could see the UN. I could see Cabinet too, easily. Pete presumably has a long time to go. Harris has first dibs on 2024... and then possibly eight years after that. He's gonna play a long game. He will want a national level elected office at some point.

So, Susan Rice is getting SOS, right?

R401, that was brilliant. Michelle Obama flipping around the narrative that we should try to understand and be nice to Trump supporters.

Nate Silver on fire:

[quote]Half the country voted for Dump, if you haven't yet figured that out.

Stop with this. Your orange god has lost two elections in a row, with less than 50% support, and never in four years polled above 50% of the citizens approving of him. He led a minority faction for a couple awful years, and I NEVAH want to hear this shit from you again.

Love for Stacey Abrams bringing it in GA...

R459, geez. The bride plus those two maid of honors must weigh a combined ton.

We once again have a First Lady whose vagina and silicon baubles have not been seen by millions.

Please note:

Any Republican's statement that uses the word "illegal votes" is carrying out Orange disruption talking points.

Don't be fooled. If it says that, they are still scared of him and covering for him, against all interests of the United States of America.

I'd love to see Warren as Sec of Education

UN Ambassador seems like a great gig. You get to live in NYC and really how much work is involved?

[quote]Will Melanie call Jill and invite her over?

If so, Jill will gracefully go.

But her first interior monologue: "Bitch, I spent eight years with Michelle supporting our troops and their families, research cures for cancer, and promoting healthy life choices for American children. I know may way around the White House."

I love seeing the deplorables cry and scream that the election was “stolen”. Get fucked and cry harder.

Warren wants treasury, apparently. And isn't Mass a state with a law that says the governor has to appoint a replacement from the same political party as the incumbent? Mind you, the clever way around that would be to find the bigger loser you could in the other party, like if it was Minnesota and they needed a Republican, bring Michelle Bachmann out of retirement.

UN would be good for Pete. Somebody smart is going to have to work very hard to bring our allies back around. They’re not going to just accept America isn’t insane after all. I’ve seen a lot of articles about other countries being appalled that Trump got so many votes. They see Biden as winning by a hair. I don’t think they realize so many votes are still outstanding and most will flip blue. A couple of weeks from now, it’s going to look a lot more in Biden’s favor.

Pete would also be good at the VA. Or something to do with the budget. Bill Clinton had Gore audit the budget and he was able to shave off a lot. That’s how he got rid of so much of the deficit, he put somebody in charge of that one thing who had some power. Pete would be great at doing that too.

[quote]The writing was on the wall when scum-sucker Murdoch and his Faux News dumped Dump's ass.

Laura Ingram started it. You will soon hear Hannity and Tucker make halfway statements urging orderly transition once all the votes have been counted and lawsuits settled. They are not going to fuck up their cushy lives with Murdoch to protect Orange.

Van Jones will go to his death bed defending his collaboration with this racist administration and never ONCE mention everything the Obama administration did to get prison reform prepared for passage. The fact that Jared glommed onto that cynically just burns, still.

The ghoul of schools will be gone!!!! Bye Cuntsy DeVoss!

[quote]And isn't Mass a state with a law that says the governor has to appoint a replacement from the same political party as the incumbent?

It requires an election be called. There is a temp replacement that has to be same-party.

Rudimentary cartogram.

He's losing the kid gloves treatment from Twitter the minute Biden takes office.

How long before Trump announces a White House briefing (aka grievance session)? Maybe at 8:00 pm when Biden and Harris are suppose to speak.

[quote]Stop with this. Your orange god has lost two elections in a row, with less than 50% support

Maybe don't fire at the hip with the assumptions. I'm as anti Dump as can be - check my posts.

It doesn't pay to be blind to reality. But half the country voted for a moronic proto-fascist, and if we want Congress majorities, we have to be smart. Listen to the leaked audio from the House Caucus.

That's not to say we hug Deplorables and kumbaya.

[Quote] I’ve seen a lot of articles about other countries being appalled that Trump got so many votes. They see Biden as winning by a hair. I don’t think they realize so many votes are still outstanding

We're all on the internet, hon.

In case you're wondering how the QAnon crazies are coping, this brave soul venture into that world for you:

Thanks, R479. Love the DC crowd! Assembled peacefully!

I’m confused by all the champagne drinking out of the bottles, don’t most places have open container laws? No to mention pulling their masks down to drink?

I agree the DNC needs to be smart about dealing with Trump/GOP supporters.

I think they should hire some cult deprogrammers on their communications and outreach teams.

I am not joking.

CNN needs to dump Rick Santorum and Van Jones. They can find better.

It's disgusting and inexcusable that they give Rick Santorum a platform.

He'll be too exhausted from golfing and eating to speak tonight, unless his Adderall drawer was restocked while he was on the links.

Anderson is saying he regrets the obese turtle flailing on it back statement, did he get in trouble and a spanking for that?

Strange looking guy on Fox, Trace?, says "Just because we are declaring Joe Biden president-elect doesn't mean that he IS the president-elect."

I'm hate-watching for a minute. No Hannity? No Shmucker? No Laura? COWARDS.

R490 they are boring as fuck!

R489 Good idea. Cult hotline...

Cooper probably got a stern fat-shaming lecture.

WAAAAAAAAAAH!

if Biden is to be successful, win those two Georgia Senate seats. IT IS DOABLE! But will be tough.

Champagne for Biden voters! And real pain for Trump voters!

As far as I can tell, this is only the fourth time in American history (and the first time in 132 years) where an incumbent president has received MORE votes in his re-election bid than he did in his winning election and yet still LOST.

John Quincy Adams in 1828 received 500,897 votes v 113,122 in 1824 when no candidate received a majority in the Electoral College and the election was decided in the House of Representatives) yet lost to Andrew Jackson

Martin Van Buren in 1840 received 1,128,854 votes v 764,176 in 1836 yet lost to William Henry Harrison

Grover Cleveland in 1888 received 5,534,488 votes in 1888 v 4,914,482 in 1884 yet lost to Benjamin Harrison

R499 Stacey is tweeting same...

Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams · 20h Georgia, thank you. Together, we have changed the course of our state for the better. But our work is not done.

Join me in supporting @ReverendWarnock and @ossoff so we can keep up the fight and win the U.S. Senate

Fox had time-delayed footage of the presidential motorcade going back to the White House.

Looking for the new tweets... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Those crowds better watch out now, he could grab Ivanka and that bible and head for the crowds with some imported prison guard troops who don't wear insignia. Naaaah - he'll just tweet because he's a fucking coward and he's always been a coward.

That's not useless or trivia--thanks.

R501, but it is the FIRST time a president lost the popular vote TWICE.

Miss Angie Merkel speaks

How great is it to see happy celebrating crowds instead of angry screaming mobs? Feels like NYE.

Joe Biden with Justin Trudeau:

Ali Velshi talks to Mary Trump.

Mary Trump thanks us - she is relieved. She hasn't been this happy in a long time. She's still disgusted by her dumb uncle.

You go, Mary!

Ooh she mad

The business community is moving on

More of Biden & Trudeau:

I didn't think they would call it over the weekend. I was downtown in Chicago and cars were driving by waving American flags and honking. I was freaking out because I thought something bad happened that favored Trump for being president. I associate American flags with Trumpers now, so glad to find out I was wrong!

r510 he's a great big fat person

R513 I thought they might in order to give the Sunday talk shows something to yak about.

This thread is slowing down for me.

New thread when we need it:

MSNBC: Mary!

"I feel happy in a way I haven't felt in a very long time."

"His rhetoric was extremely dangerous. It was an attempted coup."

"There is no basis for these legal maneuverings."

"What he's doing is humiliating himself."

"He's delaying the healing process."

"The people around him are appeasing his delusions."

"Biden and Harris are going to lead us out of this nightmare."

Yeah r513, we have to make the American flag great again!

R510 Actually he was schmoozing with a crowd outside his golf club after finishing his round today. Soaking up chants of “we love you!” and smirking.

R505, very good point

I wish I could be the one to escort those 2 fetid shit stains, Corey Lewandowski and Whore Hicks out of the WH.

R519 I’d watch that son/granddaddy inter-generational porno tbh

With Lewandowski and Hicks together in the White House, I presume they are fucking in the broom closets again. Just for old times whoring sake.

That bride and her bridesmaids trump posed with looked like the three little pigs! She couldn’t have lost 20 pounds before she got married?

She did.

#NoRedemption

I am telling you now so I don't have to tell you then.

I don't care about your late apologies. If you CHOSE to work in that administration, your judgment and goals and empathy are proven to disqualify you from further participation in the public arena. No commenting gigs. No memoirs and speaking tours. No jobs at nonprofits. No runs for elected office. You are banned from American life. You befouled this country and enabled all the harm to it.

I don't care about your late apologies. If you CHOSE to support Orange and his grifter family and swamp network on your social media feed and at the ballot box, despite four years of documented lies and graft and destruction of everything this country held dear, America has no use for you. You rejected every logical warning laid out for you. You collaborated.

I'm demanding retribution. I don't think you should die. Unless you broke the law, I don't think you should got to prison. I don't think you should pay a fine or make restitution for all the harm you inflicted or helped to inflict or allowed to stand.

But you wrapped yourself in lies, deceit, corruption, misery, and, lately, illness and death. You embraced it. You reveled in it. You were proud of it. There is nothing you can do to make yourself trusted, ever again.

Wrong place, r528.

FAT! VERY FAT!

Fuck you motherfucker

[quote]That bride and her bridesmaids trump posed with looked like the three little pigs!

Looks like two pigs fightin' under a blanket.

[quote] I just want to take a moment and thank the Black community in the US. A lot of you came out and did your thing in your cities, stayed loyal to the Democratic Party and kicked out Trump. I really hope Biden will do right by you!

I agree to a point but if they hadn't sat home in 2016 we would never have been in this position, our courts wouldn't have been damaged for decades and many people would still be alive who are now dead. Not to even mention the children perhaps irreparably harmed after being separated from their parents. The list goes on.

I appreciate the votes but if praise is warranted in 2020 then condemnation is warranted for 2016.

Well the reasons why they sat home don't relate to just TWO years in American history, dear...

Be here now, r533.

[R533] So it's on black people to save white people from their stupidity. Got it.

The meltdowns are delicious.

An acquaintance that I've known for years made some passive aggressive comment on my status, (which only said, we can all finally breathe again)...

Their response was, "Hope you like suffering the next 4 years."

And then promptly unfriended me. It's hysterical actually.

This is coming from a freak who is constantly defending Joe Paterno, btw.

Congratulations coming in from around the world.

Because with a few exceptions, they are thrilled to be rid of Trump

It's also just funny how Deplorables have felt so entitled to say whatever political shit they want but the minute someone else does they lose their shit.

The bitter tantrums are just beginning.

And my enjoyment of them will last for a long time.

Oh look, it's Karl Rove - blaming mail in ballots.

Black people shouldn't have to keep bailing out white people from white people. In his Gettysburg speech Biden himself even said addressed this. I hope he uses those lines again tonight. But we have to get our shit together and stop depending on black women to save us from despicable white men.

Folks bickering about black vs. white... let's put aside our differences and start now advancing equity.

[quote]Cities Erupt in Celebration after Biden Beats Trump

I'd celebrate if I could see someone ACTUALLY beat him. I'd even watch on pay-per-view.

Why is there such a gap between the election and inauguration in America? Here in the UK the votes are counted, the winner goes to Buckingham Palace to ask the Queen's permission to form a government (yes, really) and then they move into 10 Downing Street. All done and dusted in less than 24 hours.

I would suggest that all democrats in Georgia ask for absentee ballots and use a drop box. Safest way.

Home page of Fox News Website right now--they have thrown Trump under the bus, backed it up and rolled over him a few times.

People on twitter comparing the celebrations in the streets now to the celebration scenes at the end of Return of the Jedi.

The White House is going to require much, much more than a simple dusting.

Fox is already turning to 2024. The civil war is going to happen in the Republican party.

I keep tearing up with relief. And I feel I can watch the news again. Like I was burrowed in a hole the last 4 years waiting (and praying) for it to be over.

I look forward to not having a fat narcissistic authoritarian slob inhabiting my head, and even commandeering my unconscious dream-life, for the first time in almost 5 years.

R548 The January date for transfer of power is set the U.S. Constitution, but historically, having Election Day in November (federal law) had to do with agrarian interests as well as weather/travel concerns.

R545 Funny. Here's another.

The White House will probably be uninhabitable for up to six months. It will have to be completely gutted, furniture and carpeting thrown out, fumigated, and sterilized after the Dump family has been removed.

Tucker Carlson is the leading candidate for 2024 according to Steve Schmidt. Imagine that shit show???

R548 Like so many things in this country, it's rooted in reasons that no longer apply, as R556 indicated.

Personally, I would have no problem moving inauguration date to December 1, which would still give states plenty of time to count the votes.

The Oval Office could be made ready for the new president in a matter of hours

Even if the results were delayed and the outgoing president couldn't move everything out of the residence, the outgoing president and their family could leave, and the new president and their family could stay at Blair House until the residence was ready.

R558 Seriously. Remember how long CBS were homeless because their offices were shut down for decontamination? And they weren't dealing with an historic building that was the site of a super-spreader event (maybe two!).

Garrett Haake is in DC for MSNBC and wearing a very tight t-shirt.

R548 Keep in mind that America doesn't have a civil service like ours. As we've seen with Trump, so many of the key roles in government are political appointees, whereas in Britain they'd be taken by civil servants (though Cummings is trying to change that). This means we can have swift change in the UK because the civil service maintains continuity.

Link to new thread in case you missed it:

It will be such a welcome change to have people in the WH who actually care about Americans.

[quote]Not if you don't live in a swing state.

Georgia wasn't a swing state. Until lots of people voted and made it one.

R560 I think you'd have to change the U.S. Constitution to make the inaugural date in December as the transfer date is in January per that document. It's the election day that could be changed. And not sure people would want to think about voting in December/January, or even late November. Holidays and shopping, you know .. lol. That could be problematic.

[quote]Biden's wife will continue teaching as First Lady (another first).

What does she teach exactly? I thought she was a doctor?

She teaches in a community college

[quote] Georgia wasn't a swing state. Until lots of people voted and made it one.

I believe that's why there is a transition team in the first place using the time between the election and the inauguration to get over all the current matters, through briefings, the administration needs to pay close attention to. And as a previous poster pointed out there are plenty of holidays (Thanksgiving & Christmas) that give the transition team fewer working hours to accomplish their goal.

Indeed, R563, Northern Ireland was run by civil servants for three years while the Assembly was suspended. Not ideal as budgets weren’t agreed but it kept things running and also allowed abortion rights and equal marriage to be passed as the DUP couldn’t use the petition of concern to block it.

[quote]Pete B. will get Susan Rice's old job as the Ambassador to the United Nations. That will give him the foreign policy experience and credentials he needs for a future run at the presidency.

Rice was National Security Advisor.

She was both

These people in the streets... it's like Iraq.... it's like liberated people. More than celebration. It's something awful throw off. How did that happen here and what need be done to assure it doesn't happen again?

R575 Yeah, they just said on CNN, it's like what you see when a dictator is overthrown.

Well, a dictator WAS overthrown.

I wish we had statues of Trump to tear down deface and throw into the harbor. I’m usual against that, but for this I would embrace it.

Didn’t inauguration used to be in March? I’m sure Lincoln was inaugurated once in March. March was better than fuckin January.

Americans want the election to be settled in early November so they don't have to argue with relatives about it at Thanksgiving.

Dump has been no less than a traitor and a puppet for our enemies.

I'm not around the real hardcore rally attending types but I am around the 'economy' Trump supporters and their problem is that they have no competing value to money. None. They just want to accumulate more and more and more and this is how they define themselves and because of that they need to have a lower class that they can feel superior to. So they sneer about how those folks should learn to code while they accumulate and accumulate with no particular goal in mind. So a brutal dictator who gives them tax breaks while treating the lowest amongst us like shit suits them just fine. The younger ones intend to use their money to allow their kids to bypass those old inconveniences like study, hard work, responsibility, learning from failure and they fully expect that their kids should be 'leaders' because money. That's all. They don't teach these kids any values so they have little entitled bullies but sneer at poor kids who are working harder. I'm a hard core atheist but I still feel a real'lack' in the American suburbs. The lack of any real values. Just the embrace of money at all costs and screw him before he screws you ......so you can get money.

The church bells rang in France and there were fireworks in London when Biden was announced President

Values have always been a dog whistle for conservatives. Christian Conservatives' traditional values have always been about establishing a superior vs inferior hierarchy system where it's ok to mistreat inferiors and encourage discrimination against inferior minorities who get uppity and demand, God forbid, equal rights.

MSNBC: Joy Reid chats with Rachel Maddow

"If there are legitimate concerns about the process, raise them!"

"Those elected Republican officials are going to have to answer for it."

"Once you have proven that you're a person who is willing to grovel. for the sake of political power or favor... there will be another. You have now proven who you are? Who is Lindsey Graham if he is not groveling anymore. Ted Cruz... once you've shown us who you are, there is no reason to forget."

"The Republican Party has become a servant of an autocratic leader.... I don't think they know which way they're going or how crazy Trump is going to get..."

There was no call for Trump to consider that more people had voted for Hillary so he and the Repugs should take them into account. Opposite, actually. Biden won EC and popular. Trumptards can fuck themselves.

Pete’s on CNN again, he’s getting a lot of air time

I agree that the Russians stirred the pot and caused some black people to stay away from Hillary. I believe she should have taken more time to speak to young people who where hurting from not not fathers in their lives because of Bill's harsh laws that singled out crack dealers from powder cocaine dealers. Instead both she and Bill got very defensive and would not admit that these laws ended up devastating our community. When Biden was hit by the same complaints early in his campaign he addressed these concerns and moved on. However, at least those who did not vote in 2016 saw the folly of their ways and did their duty this time.
