ELECTION 2020 Part 19

Previous thread:

That bitch made 4 years last foreverrrrr.

It feels much much longer than four years r2

I'm so happy I won't have that orange orangutang on my television any more!

Let the leaking begin. All the little cowards who've been holding back because he might just eke out a victory, spill now, spill loud, spill proud (well, not too proud, you still kinda suck) but SPILL BITCHES.

From the other thread but worth reposting

Do Unto Trumpistas as Trumpstas Would Do Unto You!

Fuck it, I have tears of joy right now.

I honestly don't think he'll be alive much longer.

He's defeated in more ways than one.

Really worried to hear machine gun fire in the party crowd soon, like in Vegas.

r8 I keep watching videos of the celebrations on Twitter and I tear up each time

MARY!!!!!

And also.. what about covid? People aren’t thinking straight screaming chanting hugging and kissing in such crowded conditions.

It feels free. It hasn't felt like freedom in four years. It feels like freedom.

People need to be vigilant about Trump’s paramilitary supporters. I feel like everyone forgot about that threat.

we haven't r14, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend they do their shit right now. They might not survive those encounters right now. There is joy, but there is definitely an undertone of revenge. Wingnuts and Trumpistas and QAnon cunts might just want to sit this out for a few weeks.

tRump sued Bill Maher in 2013 for saying he is the product of his mother having sex with an orangutan.

These were Bill's parting words last night:

“Let’s be gracious in victory. I just want to say Mr. Trump — if you’re watching — as you do sometimes accidentally, you may have lost the election but there’s one thing that you will always have, and that’s the knowledge that your father never loved you and your mother had sex with an ape.”

Thanks r15! I totally forgot that they’d listen to your recommended timeframe on when to unleash their shit. Pheww.

Bless you.

LOL

I’m still laughing that they meant to schedule a press conference at the four seasons hotel and accidentally booked it at a landscaping company next to a sex toy shop

WHET to that presser r19?

I’ve been popping corks for hours now.

Heh, r19, they should just drop all pretense at this point and just schedule it at the sex shop. Who cares anymore?

70 Million Trump voters r22

R20 I believe Rudy announced that they would be contesting the PA vote

Let them contest all they want. Georgia is going to go over the line too.

but do they really r23? Would he lose one Cult member if he had a rally at a sex shop in full leather gear and holding a dildo?

Just think: after four years of one treachery after another, despairing the state of this country & how it was led by a cruel, stupid racist asshole, DL can finally take a deep breath and relax. And kudso to all those people out there who kept their head & didn't lose faith over the course of this long & painful week.

Do you think he will step down after a promise of a Federal pardon from Pence?

Dave Wasserman on PA:

There’s no doubt support from organized labor was critical to Biden’s success in Pennsylvania - holding onto remaining ancestral Dem support in union-heavy corners of the state was never assured, but it held.

Jesus, hasn't Rudy fled to Ukraine yet? What is the delay?

They are protesting Rudy in NYC lol everyone has had enough of his bullshit.

Lol msnbc doesn’t give a fuck: they’re showing street scenes even when people are holding “FUCK TRUMP” signs. 😂🤣

What I want to know is will that motherfucker try to pardon himself.

They really, really, really need to look at strengthening Unions PollTroll. Revive card check, anything. They have been so stupid and shortsighted about Unions for nearly 40 years now.

I am usually not patriotic and I see the danger in patriotism. But I admit, today, I am fucking proud to be an American.

Our system is very far from perfect. And yet, this time, it worked. Collectively, we rejected an orange fascist. We voted his ass out of office. We said, "Racism and bigotry and sexism and homophobia and xenophobia have no place in our highest office." We said, "Begone, like George III before you."

It worked.

.....

Goodbye!

Champ, one of the two new White House dogs

THE.BEST.IS.YET.TO.CUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMHMMMMMMMMHMMM!

And Major, the other WH dog

Has that Guilfoyle creature found herself another village idiot yet?

What is the story behind having a press conference at the Four Seasons Landscaping business and not the hotel? It’s all so bizarre!

Trump looks fatter than ever and probably will have lingering COVID-related health problems.

I can't stress enough I love the meltdown that the little Snowflakes are having!

And yes, remind them that THEY are SNOWFLAKES. Tell them. Watch their heads explodes.

R41 you can bet she misses that Newsom Cock!!!

And poor Baby Junior having to know each time he stuck it in her she couldn't feel it because Gavin had been there and it's all she was thinking about.

Gabriel Sherman, Vanity Fair:

[quote]For the last 4 years, Trump bullied and humiliated his staff in meetings. Now that he’s lost, they’re turning on him. “Why put up with it anymore?” one outside WH adviser said.

I can't wait to hear from the NYC AG office on the afternoon of January 21st after the swearing in ceremony lol

Crickets from Trump

There are few things in this world that are more satisfying than seeing a narcissist lose.

[Quote] Why put up with it anymore?

Well, you don't even have the option, hon. You're out of a job.

The German shepherds are pretty dogs.

Let's see what the Qtards are saying!

Chick interviewed on MSNBC says 'Biden was able to steal no no I mean win' That clip will circulate on the right wing sites!

It's fascinating to always see QTards spouting about how everything is under some "secret, highly intelligent, well-thought out plan," that Dotard has orchestrated and when none of it ever pans out.... It's just that the plan is still happening!!! Don't worry, they've seen the evidence!!!

My mom would've been so happy.

The outpouring of joy is incredible:

[quote]I’ve been popping corks for hours now.

Yes, yes Melania. We've all seen and all know everything about your incredibly and talented vagina.

Hahahahahaha

So much fun watching Georgia turning blue.

Happiness abounds!!!

Who would have thought that when Kimberly Gargoyle screamed "The Best is Yet to Come" she'd be so right!

R56 - speaking of Melania...

Chicago dude on the street with cut-outs of President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris to raise money for BLM and the Georgia senate races.

Nobody's sleeping on this.

[quote] I believe Rudy announced that they would be contesting the PA vote

And the evidence is right there, on the mythical laptop of Hunter Biden. Once UPS delivers it.

Democrats have won the popular vote in 7 out of the last 8 presidential elections. Let that sink in. We are a Democratic nation imprisoned by an antiquated electoral college system.

Morning in America, by the Lincoln Project.

Nobody can do propaganda like these people. We need to bombard the airwaves with messages like this. It’s reprogramming for those who are reachable.

Dave Wasserman:

The Biden/Harris '20 ticket is on track to win the popular vote by a larger margin than every winning presidential ticket since 1996, except the Obama/Biden '08 ticket.

Direct link @R59

I’m not sure the link at R63 worked, so this is it.

R63 we need them to stay in our camp!

Watching the live celebrations all over the country ..... how I wish I were there!!!!!!

Looks like tonight's speech will be a drive in event although all the vehicles in the feed I'm seeing are the same, all pickup trucks in blue, red and white so perhaps just placed for the camera and they are not allowing the public to attend?

Uh oh here comes Joy on MSNBC

JOY REID!

She is happy - tells us to TAKE IT IN, AMERICA!

Trumps meltdown is starting

Garrett Hake with his hot self... where the party is in Black Lives Matter Plaza outside the White House.

A prominent sign in front the White House - FUCK YOUR FENCE

hahahaha

Says the Moron definitely had to hear the crowd. Couldn't avoid it going in, can't avoid it while he's in there and he's in for the night.

Suck it up, Donald.

He’s back in the WH in front of the TV, beginning his evening television viewing and tweeting:

[quote] THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!

in all caps!!!

Wail, Donald, wail!

Rant and rave, crazy all caps your way through the night.

We are done with your fat, whiny ass.

Biden did it. Fuck yeah. Fuck all the trolls. Where Sadie you go? Lolololol

From former Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull

Big-dicked Pete Davidson needs to play big-dicked Hunter Biden on SNL.

Garrett has a tattoo on his forearm.

Australia got rid of covid too. Leadership is important.

[bold]OUT OF MY CHAMBER, LESBIANS![/bold]

I honestly wish I was in D.C. right now celebrating!!

Take that, Vlad.

Vlad don't care. The useful idiot played his role until his expiration date.

Vlad's about to get an ass kicking.

R44 Newsom is mos' def packin'

Trump has BROKEN his Twitter silence!!

John Roberts on fox reported that if they see no legitimate legal paths that trump will concede and commit to a peaceful transition of power. I’m calling BS on that!

[quote] BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE

How do they know if they didn't see it?

Biden’s granddaughter on Twitter, so sweet!! ❤️

Who is Yang again and why is CNN giving him so much time? Wasn’t he a math teacher or something?

They really try to establish the LEGAL and ILLEGAL votes narrative where only in person votes (enhanced by Russian hackers) are legal and all the absentee votes, the drop off boxes votes, etc. are illegal because they, thanks to Republican senators, get count after election stations are closed.

R91, well it is true. And that's horrifying.

*Biden's lead in Pennsylvania is up to 37,469*

[quote] Champ, one of the two new White House dogs

Replacing the other two old White House dogs -- Kellyanne and Sarah-Huckabee.

R87, here's Gavin Newsom with Justin Trudeau:

He gives himself 71M even though many of those came in from absentee ballots in the past 72 hours. What an idiot.

R93 hopefully our next Mayor! One despot out, another corrupt douchebag to go.

How on Earth can he claim any fraud when this must have been one of the most "picked through with a fine tooth comb" ballot countings I have ever seen for a national election??

I hope he's watching tv and that networks really insist on relaying world leaders' congratulatory statements to Joe Biden. It will show him nobody gives a shit if he concedes or not.

If it hadn't been vote counting in PA it would have been something else. The Tweeter-in-Chief will continue playing the victim with his frivolous lawsuits.

*I really like Andrew Yang and hope he sticks around. He was a tad out of place running for President, but he has positive energy and really interesting ideas that show real possibility.

In response to Trump's latest tweet:

Can they please stop whoever's banging the pole on the NBC News Now stream.

[quote]whoever's banging the pole on the NBC News Now stream

Pics please.

R104 absolutely! Out of everyone in the primary, he and Pete are our future. And The Rona fast tracked his UBI ideas to RIGHT NOW.

Tribute from RTÉ television in Ireland

If Dump’s watching FOX right now he’s gonna be furious. They’re interviewing a guy who’s trashing Trump and congratulating Biden.

Mayor of Paris :

Anne Hidalgo @Anne_Hidalgo Welcome back America! Congratulations to @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris for their election! While we are about to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, this victory symbolizes our need to act together more than ever, in view of climate emergency. #Election2020

ha, wonderful r111. So many people must be relieved around the world. I want to hear what the Queen is saying today, behind closed doors.

Imagine having a grown-up in the WH after 4 long years of daily insanity!

How fast can we get back into the Paris Accords?

I agree r104. So many people on these boards seem to believe that one and only one opinion must ever be heard within the Democratic Party. Go join the Trump Cult if you can't deal with a variety of opinions.

Russia has a sad

R114 January 21st

[quote] How fast can we get back into the Paris Accords?

Biden said day 1.

[quote] BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE.

I got so sick of this kind of simpleton language. Ugh! Four years of this kind of vocabulary. Now, all caps! We're almost done with it!

[quote]Russia has a sad

Uh oh. No Putin reacharounds for Donny.

My one concern about Andrew Yang is that he does have certain techno-Libertarian leanings. I tend not to trust those guys in terms of policies benefitting the common good.

It'll be so nice when the whole country can say, SHUT THE FUCK UP, DONNIE!

IRRELEVANT

Jacob Ward (NBC):

After years of an essentially open-mic policy, every @realDonaldTrump post in the last 24 hours has been labeled by @Facebook in some way, and @Twitter has labeled his last five tweets.

I don't need him to be president, r121, I do want to hear his views on labor and universal basic income and what to do about this ridiculously top heavy economy we've imposed on ourselves.

Sad!

R123 I really thought that it was a picture of that little closeted pocket gay Texas lawyer who is on his way to Philly to right the wrongs for Trump. They must be separated at birth, but it does prove the gay face theory.

Biden’s first 100 days in office are going to be head spinning in what he going to work on and get ready to push through. People are going to get whiplash.

Reporters aren't taking their shit anymore.

there is a hell of a lot to deal with r128. So happy for him, so happy for us, so happy for Kamala, but damn, did we ever hand him a shit sandwich.

I soooo wish I could see how the orange pig is taking this and how angry he is today.

Meanwhile us Brits are reminded we still have idiots in charge

I like the people outside the White House making noise and quite a ruckus, I think there should be people there keeping it up 24/7 never giving Trump a moment of peace until he is driven from there with his tail between his legs. And if he leaves early to avoid it all the better.

Rudy's press conference in the parking lot of a landscaping business located next door to an adult bookstore and a crematorium perfectly sums up this entire presidency.

Sorry. I don't know why that link popped up.

who's that schmoe r132

Thank you, PollTroll!

I don't even know how to explain Cold War Steve to Americans, but I'm pretty sure you'll like this anyway

World leaders sharing our jubilation and relief that Trump is out...

Andrew Yang gave an interview somewhere (it's been months and it popped up in my recommended vids) where he make some very good points about how we can't expect middle American to code itself or STEM itself back to prosperity and how we cannot expect these people to be able to pick up and move to the coasts for work. He made good points about property values, lower wages, elder care, rental markets etc Leaving politics of those States aside he's the only one I have heard be totally honest about the situation rather than pretend that coding lessons and free community college will somehow conjure jobs in those areas or set these folks up to move to SF with the capital to start out there. So yes I believe he is a useful voice for our party and worth listening to but not a good candidate for the presidency.

R121 I actually think some element of that is good, as long as we don’t embrace the right/crazy part (which he certainly doesn’t). Direct relief to people is a lot more efficient then expanding govt programs in many instances.

R128 Trump’s systemically gutted the EPA over the past 4 years, for one thing. Reversing that alone will be a full-time job.

And SO much else..

R136 British Foreign Secretary

I have a feeling that the Canadian border and travel between Europe and the USA will be open again by next Easter. It's just occurred to me that we have a administration that will negotiate and that foreign leaders will want to negotiate with because they trust us again.

Yes, we GODDAMN DID, OP!!

TAKE THAT, BucksYST! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

BLACK LIVES MATTER won this election. They saved Democracy, and all of us. Minnesota and Georgia went for Biden.

Melania needs to find a rich Russian soon. No American millionaire no matter how trashy would have her after being tainted but trump.

R7, LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM ALL UP!

Thanks, FCI @ R137. : )

I'm exhausted after the past week, but glad that it turned out well in the end!

Trump is officially, forever, and in the history books as a....

Luh-HOOOO-SER!!

We love you PollTroll. You're the Steve Kornacki of DL!

Let's be grateful that the NRA was knee-capped well before the election.

I just know Macron and Trudeau are on the phone tonight, giggling like teenagers, and talking about how they thought that bitch would NEVER leave.

The streets of Philadelphia look like Mardi Gras tonight. They’re dancing in the streets.

Contest THIS, Rudy!!

r129 that was hilarious ! He told him straight up to fuck off, live

Trump will forever be remembered at the worst president ever. He always wanted to be remembered but not like this.

Heh, absolutely r151

When will AZ finally be called?

I blame PollTroll r159

BREAKING

The Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit alleging irregularities in some in-person voting in Maricopa, County, Ariz., seeking to delay certification of results pending an investigation.

You know that's got to chap his ass fiercely, that all of these people are literally dancing in the streets because Biden won & Dump lost

I don't think he said "fuck." It sounded more like "bug."

Georgia’s Secretary of State has tweeted that that county of Fulton had “discovered an issue involving reporting from their work” on Friday.

Brad Raffensperger said officials will rescan the “work”, which I assume he means ballots, although the tweet is fairly vague.

BREAKING

That crazy homeless guy at the street corner near where I live is still yelling obscenities at passers-by.

This feels like 1989 when Communism fell and people started tearing down the Berlin Wall.

R109, I really loved that. Seamus Heaney was a great poet and that was very fitting for the occasion.

Heh, funny r166. Maybe a bit much, but not so sure. Trump really did want to create a fascist state here.

The most important question now is this:

When do the taco trucks show up on every corner?

Daddy wants to celebrate with some tacos!

Please, please, please surround the White House with Taco trucks. love that r169

Pennsylvania has redeemed itself for giving us the historically worst president ever, Buchanan, by ridding us of the worst President in Modern times, sure to be eternally the worst.

11-7-2020 is the date we kicked 2020 in the cuntbone.

And......

You’re fired, bitch!

That AZ lawsuit will be thrown out. It’s a redo of sharpie gate which has been DEBUNKED

MSNBC: Joy and Rachel chat...

"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..."

[quote]Pennsylvania has redeemed itself for giving us the historically worst president ever, Buchanan, by ridding us of the worst President in Modern times, sure to be eternally the worst.

Don't most historians agree that Andrew Johnson was the worst?

A great, juicy deep dive into both campaigns. The Trump campaign was a true clown show

W is relieved he will no longer be the worst president.

[quote]Don't most historians agree that Andrew Johnson was the worst?

We're seriously entertaining the notion that someone other than Trump was the worst President ever?

The politico article talks about how Kimberly guifoyle was offering lap dances and hot tub sessions to the highest donors!

Random question: I haven't watched CNN in a while, but I have it on tonight & something seems off about Anderson; his eyes look weird & he seems to be slurring his speech. Maybe he's just tired, but he doesn't seem like his old self.

R177 I remember the major criticism he got here over the years (the vast majority of it deserved) but he's reasonable and semi-competent in comparison.

I seriously think Joe and Kamala should work from some undisclosed location for the first two weeks of their administration and not work from the West Wing or Oval Office. Joe and Jill should not go near the residence for at least that long.

I don't care what magic WH Housekeeping and Facilities does during the Inauguration to prep the place. You know the Malignant Narcissist will be pissing and spitting on everything before he leaves.

R180 Sleep-deprived? Doesn't he have a baby now?

R182 They need to keep sharp objects and matches away from him.

I like Presidents who don't lose elections.

r185

I imagine that will be Meghan McCain's line on The View Monday, lol.

Nancy Pelosi called it months ago.

Dump is no longer of any relevance to the world. The only thing of importance he could do now is die.

heh, I might actually like her for five minutes then r186

How long until Jr. overdoses?

I want it to be like the lost footage of Its a Wonderful Life on SNL with Biden as George Bailey and Trump as Potter.

Trump will drag out his “battle” all the way through January. I wonder if the runoff candidates in Georgia will tell him to stay away.

This is a great day. Happy Victory Day.

Doubt it, R186. That bitch goes back and forth licking that assholes taint.

R192 he'll have to stop at some point though... how much time is needed for him to step down, put Pence in place, and then get a pardon?

How is Alec Baldwin going to support all the kids now without the SNL gig?

Match Game! R195

I just realized Biden becomes the oldest elected President. I'm sure someone's mentioned it but I've missed a lot of posts.

Gary Tuchman live on the streets of Atlanta on CNN right now, yelling at the crowd to “BE QUIET!” while he speaks.

Meghan McCain's job on The View is to be the conservative Frau voice. She needs to complain about Biden not being able to unite the US fast enough or unite them at all and therefore being a total failure as president.

r175 Johnson was responsible for genocide of Native Americans via Indian Removal Act, but Trump due to inaction and denial, is indirectly responsible for death of Americans that will be far more higher in number before he leaves office, so . . . historians will definitely not be too kind. This is just 1 of his multiple transgressions

[quote]W is relieved he will no longer be the worst president.

W seems like a fucking genius in hindsight compared to the Orange Asshole.

Trump’s downfall in my eyes is mainly due to his daily drug habit. He lost his mind.

(Daily) Drugs are bad mkay?

[quote]The politico article talks about how Kimberly guifoyle was offering lap dances and hot tub sessions to the highest donors!

What the fuck is wrong with her? I mean seriously, as in what is her actual psychiatric diagnosis? She was fired from Fox for showing dick pics of Junior to everyone in the office.

I'm guessing the feral orange hog isn't dancing to any Village People songs tonight.

But I also hope his doctor or Ivanka pumps him full of benzos right now.

MSNBC: Joy Reid interviews Michael Beschloss

I'm paraphrasing...

We need to stay vigilant that this doesn't happen again, with a candidate who is a lot smoother and... less sloppy in 2024. It was a close call for our Democracy.

The Electoral College votes on December by 14th. This date is set by law. PPG can drag things out until then, but once they vote on that date, it's over.

NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" has entered the top 200 on US iTunes.

R203 Possibly bipolar and unmedicated.

It’s been a hell of a exhale.

There shouldn’t be a “job” on The View for a conservative to play. They can have on conservatives but they need to just speak truthfully and not try to fill a role. THAT IS WHY WE GOT HIM! Some things are facts. Having a role to be contrarian or lie or spew talking points is why we are so divided.

[quote] We need to stay vigilant that this doesn't happen again, with a candidate who is a lot smoother and... less sloppy in 2024. It was a close call for our Democracy.

Just let people like Michael Moore put a fire under Liberals' asses like he did with his predictions about this election. The Democratic Party should consider hiring more pundits who use fear tactics ("Do you want another Trump? DO YOU? Vote, you motherfucker! VOTE! GET THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR HOME AND VOTE EARLY! Don't think for a minute the Democratic pick has it in the bag. GO AND FUCKING VOTE! VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT, BECAUSE IT DOES!").

Pete Buttigieg speaking now on CNN!

r211, a TV show like the View is about ratings and viewers who feel like they are being represented by at least one host. The View benefits from the "Karen" point of view. Some love and approve of it and other love to hate that host and love how she is shaded or silenced by the rest. Don't underestimate the viewers' longing for a villain. Which, sadly, also applies for politics.

R213 Chasten is all atwitter planning redecorations to their NYC condo when Pete is appointed UN Ambassador.

The only person I know who watches "The View" is a 75 year old retired social worker.

[quote]Tribute from RTÉ television in Ireland.

We get Biden quoting poet Seamus Heaney.

The alternative would have been Trump quoting a limerick that rhymed tits with shits.

Good day in America.

R211 But what is truth? Is truth unchanging law? We both have truths, are mine the same as yours?

I’m sorry, but what the hell is Black Lives Matter Plaza?

r216, so she's the one who has kept it on air for so long. Only her.

[quote]I am usually not patriotic and I see the danger in patriotism.

I think you see the danger in jingoism/nationalism. There is very little danger in true patriotism.

[quote][R216], so she's the one who has kept it on air for so long. Only her.

Well, the fucking old bitch refuses to change the channel.

Trump Aides say it’s not clear that Trump will adhere to customs like inviting Biden to the White House.

What a surprise.

r222, have you tried to change the channel and then hide the remote so she can't switch it back? Just say that she must have forgotten where she put the remote and you can't find it either.

As long as he doesn't do something like start a nuclear war out of spite, he can be the sorest loser possible.

I mean, he is going to go crazy with pardons.

R182 Normally the president-elect gets the use of Blair House, however I'm not sure if that's the kind of thing which needs the president's agreement - and if so I can absolutely imagine Trump refusing to allow it.

R215 He needn't bother, the UN Ambassador has an official residence in 50 United Nations Plaza

Biden's lead in GA is 9.1K

I mean, he is going to go crazy with pardons.

Well, as before, isn't he limited by the fact that 1. accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt 2. anyone who accepts a pardon can be subpoenaed and can no longer plead the 5th? I would think the last thing he'd want is to pardon someone who could potentially testify against him (like Flynn) and he's already handed out pardons to war criminals & that asshole sheriff in AZ.

Also, why does someone keep posting that Pence will pardon Dump when he hasn't actually been *charged* with anything yet? Did I miss something?

I hope they change his diaper, and Propofol his ass to bed.

[quote]I hope they change his diaper, and Propofol his ass to bed.

Don't I get EVEN ONE FUCKING NIGHT OFF?

NOT EVEN ONE?

I thought R179 was joking or trolling...but nope, it actually does say that. In which case...you just know Jr's a cuck. Wonder if he's ever been cucked by daddy

Jr sounds like the sleaziest piece of shit, if ever someone had the face they deserve...

Oh, she had the vapors on the Virginia golf course today.

Is this a once off or will the secret service actually follow her like this anytime she takes a job from now on?

Oops jog not job!

R235 Yes, they will

They've been doing that jog job for decades.

Yes, everybody was predicting maybe a few thousand for Biden in Georgia, but it seems like outstanding votes have virtually all broken his way. It's mind-boggling.

Crucify him, r218.

But hold off on that, it's really an Easter show.

Enjoy today, be happy and celebrate. Tomorrow go back to remembering we still have a fight as important as getting Trump out of office to go through. We have to get the two Senate candidates from Georgia elected and get the Senate in the hands of Democrats. There will be a runoff on January 5th and if the Republicans keep the Senate we can forget about anything getting better for the most part. Lindsay Graham is currently trying to help Trump prove he won and Biden didn't and Moscow Mitch has vowed to not allow Biden to get anything done or even to pick cabinet members he wants. If Biden doesn't pick the most Conservative Blue Dog "Democrats" to his cabinet McConnell will never let them pass.

If you live in GA vote on January 5th for Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Your vote on that day is as important as your vote for Biden. Get your friends, neighbors and family to vote for these two Democrats in the Senate runoff. If you live in GA or don't please donate to their campaign as much as you can, a dollar or two if that is all you can afford. Volunteer with their campaigns to make phone calls or in any way you can help.

We won a very big battle. We did not win the war yet. As long as McConnell and the Republicans rule the Senate we are in big trouble. Biden will spend 4 years being a lame duck, as Obama was the last 6 years of his presidency. Think about it. The only thing Obama was ever able to get done was the ACA because he got that done when both the Congress and Senate were in the hands of Democrats and many of them not Progressive which is why so much about the ACA sucked and there was no public option.

January 5, 2021 remember that date! It's as important as November 3rd was.

R237 That's nice of them, I wasn't sure how much freedom POTUS or VPOTUS to go about and do normal person things like job or go to a movie or have a date night or go home to California for the weekend. I'd personally hate being trailed like that so I certainly won't be the first gay POTUS! but nice that they can still have some freedom. I do know they can't drive though, Biden said that when he was on Jay Leno's car show.

R241 and if in Georgia, vote on Paper and drop it in a Drop Box and not the USPS.

[quote] Don't most historians agree that Andrew Johnson was the worst [President]?

Historians need time to update the books!

Kamz shows up at the Delaware speech venue.

lol!

Whatever happened to that guy on here who was waiting to fuck his boyfriend until Biden was declared?

Have they come up for air yet?

Andy Cooper is DRONK.

What you don't see in that jogging video is that there are actually Secret Service agents jogging along with her on all sides as well as standing and driving and scouting ahead on her route.

It seems like the media people are taking extra joy in saying "President-Elect Biden" over and over and over. Little extra emphasis on the President part!

Thinking about Stacey Abrams. How may African American women are the bomb, and we don’t recognize it?

I didn’t realize how emotionally wiped out this would make me.,we dodged a bullet

R249 Wow horrible way to live.

We are close now. Still feels unreal. Tuesday night seems like so long ago now.

I feel so stupid now for MARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ing it up on Tuesday

Adding to R241, if you don't feel comfortable phone banking, you can text bank via an app downloaded on desktop or mobile. Google or follow Meidas Touch, a pro-Dem action group, who are already getting mobilized for GA runoffs

Time to celebrate

Inspiring spot from Lincoln Project today.

ahhhhhh

Decency won.

We really haven't talked enough about this. The writers on "Veep" might have considered it too far-fetched.

Celebrations tonight in London and Paris. The mayor of Paris tweeted, "Welcome back, America!"

On Saturday morning, shortly before the AP and other news outlets called the election for Joe Biden, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to announce that his lawyers would be holding a “big press conference” in Philadelphia. But there seems to have been some major confusion about where it would be held. First Trump tweeted it would take place at the “Four Seasons, Philadelphia.” Trump later corrected himself and said that the news conference was going to be held at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping. And the Four Seasons Hotel sent out its own tweet, making sure everyone knew that the news conference would not be held there but rather at the landscaping business that has “no relation with the hotel.” When journalists arrived at the site of the news conference, they were flabbergasted by the scene and many quickly speculated that someone in the Trump campaign made a serious mistake. After all, the parking lot of a landscaping business in the outskirts of the city in an industrial part of town was a drab backdrop for a news conference by a president who wanted to convince Americans he still had a chance of winning. And making matters even stranger, the landscaping business was between an adult bookstore and a cremation center. The location led to lots of mockery online, and many people were very happy with the scene that was ripe for mockery, and some saw as a poignant metaphor of the failure of the Trump campaign.

Let's all meet up at Mrs. Wilkes in Savannah for lunch to celebrate the big win in Georgia.

[quote]Trump Aides say it’s not clear that Trump will adhere to customs like inviting Biden to the White House.

If I were Biden, I wouldn't want to set foot there until it's scrubbed and fumigated top to bottom.

It's not like he and Jill need the tour.

[quote] Vlad don't care. The useful idiot played his role until his expiration date.

Yep.

I think it's pretty funny that Orange spent his whole term trying to undo everything Obama did and Joe will basically go in and EO as much of Orange's existence as possible.

r281 My mom made it to 93. I think she had sufficient.

Biden plans an immediate flurry of executive orders to reverse Trump policies...

Biden & Trudeau bromance?

I’m surprised that the Trump press conference didn’t take place on a golf course, isn’t that his preferred landscaping?

I never toot my own horn but all my life I have just known stuff that was going to happen. I predicted Trump would be impeached before he was even sworn in. Somewhere in the archives here when Biden had lost the primaries and Bernie was on top, I called Biden AND Harris when he was thought be out. I wish I had saved the page but it was just another day for me. Today I got the texts from friends who said I was right all along. But then I predicted Madonna would be Evita twelve years before the movie was made.

R274, I know exactly how you feel. My dad died during the Obama administration. He was really involved in politics his whole life and followed the news daily.

The day Trump was elected, I even said to someone, thank God he didn’t live to see this. It would have made him extremely anxious and frightened. And everything after that would have made his life just constant misery. There were a lot of veterans in the family that fought fascism in WWII. It would have killed him to see Americans supporting fascism. He wouldn’t have believed it.

R293, Did you predict the Stevie Nicks/Miley Cyrus duet, too???

[quote]But then I predicted Madonna would be Evita twelve years before the movie was made.

For which you must pay.

Jake Tapper must be gay, he made an allusion to Trump not winning an ice skating competition and being angry and a sore loser. Only a gay may would choose ice skating over an actual sport to explain his metaphor.

Its too bad we can't impeach Orange again before his term is even up.

God, also thinking about how nice it will have someone as president who actually deserves all the trappings of the office: the motorcade, Air Force One, etc.

R296 there was deliberate shade in the ice skating reference.

R277, what do you think really happened there? If they wanted a parking lot to speak in, why not get a larger one? It looked like either they couldn’t afford anything bigger, or nobody would rent to them.

Jake Tapper just stole Clayton’s most famous line! bend over backwards for... him?

That will be a good day r304

Will Kamala be drinking a big glass of wine during her speech?

Kamala’s wearing white! I knew it!

Goddamn that is a fantastic choice of an outfit.

GO KAMALA!!!!!

The Return of the White Pantsuit!

Is the outfit a Hillary reference?

John Lewis: Democracy is not a state, it is an act.

His damn wall ....

This guy's got to be a Datalounger.

[quote] I haven’t been this excited to hear an 80-year-old speak on a Saturday night since Golden Girls.

R311 Women suffragettes. They wore white. Hillary was wearing it for them.

A Kente cloth sari would have been an interesting choice.

White = color of the suffragists

In one minute Kamala has made more sense than Donnie in four years. Love to hear intellectual person to speak.

YASSS Hunty, its the white pantsuit for me!

[quote]Is the outfit a Hillary reference?

I mean, white was the color of the suffragettes, which is why Hillary wore it. But yes, I think that's likely why she chose it.

She will be EXCELLENT!!!

I didn't think I was as affected by the election, but I've been tearing up all day. Thank you America.

A refreshing absence of hate speech.

R311, it’s the color women suffragettes wore when they marched to get the vote for women. It’s become a tradition for women who get new offices to wear white to honor suffragettes, because they wouldn’t be there without them.

It’s a tribute to the journey women have taken to achieve this.

She mentioned HUNTER!!!!!

Excellent. She knows the first job of VP is to make it about President-Elect Biden

Is it white or is Oyster Cream?

I just realized that Biden is the first VP to take the Presidency in over 30 years.

I'm hearing celebratory fireworks going off here, or a murderous MAGAt is on a shooting spree--not sure which.

DAMN IT I'M BAWLING

White white flares for cameras. Probably a pale cream.

I'm getting choked up !!! Go Kamala!!!!

R201 he also started the Pandemic Department and playbook, the one our great President threw out. So yes, comparatively speaking he was.

Inspiring, inclusive and appreciative words.

The white suit, the pussy bow, the speech. I love you Kamala!!!! I have tears, darlings!!!!!

I expect she's going to have lots of excellent outfits.

I can’t imagine the degree to which Trump is seething right this minute.

“That little girl was ME!”

Oh, god, she’s gonna start selling tshirts again!

She will be one stylish Vice President.

Don’t doit, Kamala!

White white flares for cameras. Probably a pale cream.

Looks good with her skin tone & dark hair - though I think she wears red well (not everyone can)

Trump lost a lot of the military vote..Ha Ha

IT'S BIDEN TIME!!!!!!

So Biden *runs* out there.

Throwing shade, Joe.

JOEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Bruce!

Have we ever even see Dotard run?

Presidential Jog!

Great speech from Kamala!

Joltin' Joe looks good

Victory lap!

He sounds presidential. I've missed this.

He looks and sounds good.

The winner is on stage. Get out loser in WH! There is hope in the country tonight!

I’m smiling so hard right now

God, I love him. He’s such a decent honest guy.

Wow, actual humility.

"Here you are Joe Biden, are nation turns its lonely eyes to you"

He looks ten years younger than he did yesterday.

"I'm Jill's husband."

Ok now my inner frau is bawling.

“My son Hunter.”

To rebuild the backbone of this nation, the middle class...

Lol trump is so finished after this speech

White white flares for cameras. Probably a pale cream.

Yeah, he does look..fresher

Great First Lady! Total diss to Melania! Haha

And rename that God damn bridge.

The honour of my lifetime.... what a beautiful way to look at it.

The pig in White House and that vile cabal of carpetbaggers and their greed and vulgarity and stinking rottenness.

The fact that Jill Biden is going to keep teaching as FLOTUS just moves me more than I can say.

Fuck "Be Best" and tennis pavilions.

Buh bye Cruella DeVoss

I don’t understand, he’s not mocking anyone or talking about how tremendous and stupendous he is.

I'm so verklempt right now...

talk amongst yourselves.

That jog down the ramp was some epic trolling. Love that Joe's not being too nice to the orange turd.

We've bent the arc more toward justice (nod to MLK)

YEAH!!!! NO MORE BIGOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!

They’ve saved the country.

First Lady Dr. Jill! Queen!

Kamala's speech made me cry.

Kamala's speech made me cry.

He's all about thanking people.

Has Hillary made a statement yet?

Jill should invite Michelle back to the WH to re-plant that veg garden just to stick it to Melania.

You can tell he’s been waiting 40 years to give this speech. He is on fire

God bless you, Joe

This is the inauguration right? Get that bible out now!

Has Susan Dey commented?

"You've become an honorary Biden, there's no way out."

That got me.

He’s so gracious, hitting the right notes. Thanking those that helped him.

We have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. They're AMERICANS.

Yes r381

She congratulated him on Twitter I believe r381. But she knows this isn't her night, it is his.

Yes RESTORE the Rose Garden. How dare she.

Honestly, could there have been a better candidate? This isn’t a speech. This is his heart and his gut. This is that rare thing: a politician who means what he says.

No one else could have done this. They were all good people but Biden is in a class by himself.

Joe is TOTALLY ON FIRE

Jan 20 2021!

Somewhere Fauci is laughing & drinking whiskey right out of the bottle

[quote]Honestly, could there have been a better candidate?

No. And Black women knew it the entire time. And they should never, EVER let us forget that.

Bedrock science...empathy... compassion... concern.

Yea! Science is back in fashion!

R387, that’s what said about the Obamas.

R391 although it should have been.

Ooooooh.... grim era of demonization.... go, Joe!

Mandate... sticking it to Orange.

"Cooperate"

Very smart of Biden. He's setting up McConnell to do what he knows McConnell will do- obstruct.

The American people want us to cooperate in their interest

Is it too evil for me to wish that Trump is watching this, has a stroke and is unable to speak or move for the rest of his presidency?

I'll admit, President-Elect Biden was not my first choice in the primaries, but boy has my respect, admiration and affection for him grown so much in these last several months. I feel like he saved us from destruction and evil.

Lol of course trump is watching this

I mean it sounds good, but what happens when the Republicans refuse to cooperate?

What song did they play when he walked out?

I’ve always liked the term “better angels.”

Then Dems need to put them on blast every single day.

Is it too evil for me to wish that Jared is madly dialing Rupert, who is now blocking his calls?

This is really a fantastic speech

Does anyone remember anymore Joe isn’t officially in the office yet? I mean his speech makes everyone to forget the idiot still sitting in the WH! Trump will vanish as a bad dream, tonight!

R409 then that's on them.

And that's why we need those two seats in GA.

A chicken in every pot and two scoops on every plate.

Second ever Catholic president after JFK.

America is a beacon for the globe. We will lead not by the example of our power but by the power of our example.

R410 Think it was the Springsteen song "We take care of our own”

r409 They look like the obstructionist assholes they are and always will be.

Can you imagine the dangerous, self-congratulatory drivel we COULD have had tonight? Thank God Trump is over.

R416 Yes and it looks like the seat in NC may be in play too!!

Thanks r420

R415 Imagine never having to see that face or hear that voice ever again after January!

In one speech, BIden has been MORE presidential than Trump has ever been in 4 long horrible years.

Now if the stock market soars on Monday, Orange wouldn't be able to take it.

After that it’s over for trump

This speech is inspiring as fuck

OMG! What a way to start! Wow!

R262 PPG=President Pussy Grabber

People are cheering outside my window they are going nuts.

I'm crying again

WHAT A SPEECH

WHITNEYYYYYYYY

Hunter's there!

Biden misplaced his mask

They crushed it!

Sexy Hunter is there!

Now we see family who loves and respects one another, who are happy and relaxed!

So weird after the last four years to see a presidential family that actually loves each other.

I wish I didn't have that bottle of wine! I am bawling. I am a messy drunk now. Thanks Joe! Wow. That was wonderful.

Wait, they're using the Kygo/Whitney Houston "Higher Love"? As if I couldn't love him more.

Hunter came in from the coast for this.

or to get his lap top LOL!!!!

This was worth waiting for

I wish Hunter had walked out holding a sign that said FUCK YOU, RUDY on it.

And you know damn good and well all of the artists whose songs they've used eagerly granted permission.

Biden’s all “Yeah that’s MY SON Hunter! Suck it Trump!”

Who was that woman cutting a rug on stage? 💃

This was the barn burner speech he couldn't give on the nomination from the basement.

He kept his powder dry!

Oooh fireworks

Why is it you never hear artists complain about Democratic presidential candidates/elects using their music....

Joe needs to get a mask on, now.

Dope fireworks!

Kamala's poor husband was clearly freaked out when the started setting off the fireworks/confetti; the threat level must be high

Wonderful speeches by both Kamila and Joe. (pssst, Joe, put your mask back on.)

Every song they play, I remember they got permission to play them all. No cease and desists here.

On January 20, 2021, America will have a president and vice president again. We will join the Democratic and Sane World again.

They are showing to Trump and his cult how many a-listers gave permission to use their music!

We won't ever have to wonder when he will finally pivot to being presidential.

Hiow are they doing that with the images in the sky?

Fox News: BIDEN MASKLESS!!!!!!!!! HYPROCRITE!!!!!

Hall and Oates, nice shout out to Pennsylvania and Philadelphia!

Not even American but shamelessly bawling my eyes out anyway.

R454 Yeah they both jumped.

Philly natives Hall & Oates! Go Philly,

Tina! Crying again. Fool am I

[quote]Hiow are they doing that with the images in the sky?

Probably drones.

Biden is holding his newest grandchild; Hunter's son with his new wife.

[quote]Hiow are they doing that with the images in the sky?

Gotta be drones.

Jill and Hunter both started, too. I thought Kamala’s husband looked uncharacteristically tense and alerted when they first came out together.

I love these song choices. I'm rockin' out on my couch right now.

Where's Chachi?

Okay, we are seeing cranes in the background. Some kind of display device.

Yes, the light display is from drones. I heard that on news this morning.

Goddamn it I'm happy!!!

It’s nice to see all the little kids. The Bidens are a close family. Probably the Harrises too.

Do you realize we’ve never seen a Trump grandchild since Inauguration Day? They probably keep them in a closet when they’re not using them.

This is so awesome!!!!!!!!

Dammit started crying after seeing "46" in the air.

R471 Back in the basement with other Hollywood f-listers.

Biden is every inch a President.

But “grim demonization” is what I’m all about!

Wow. I'd forgotten what it's like to feel inspired by a president. The man exudes compassion and empathy. The exact opposite of Trump. We are truly purging a parasite.

I’m so freaking happy!

I liked Joe's speech and message. He clearly wanted to deliver it with great energy and commitment. I kept having to turn down the volume as to my ear he seemed to shout the entire thing.

I thought Kamala’s husband looked uncharacteristically tense and alerted when they first came out together.

I though that too - I can't imagine the death threats they're getting

Feels good to be proud to be an American tonight for the first time in 4 years

They just paved Trump and his evil cohorts in to the ground tonight; and this isn't even the inauguration!

I loved how he said he understood what it means to lose a loved one and spoke to the families of 230,000 who've died from COVID. He's what a President should be.

And then quoted "On Eagles Wings"

He's putting his mask back on FAUX NEWS

Love that they played “Won’t Back Down” right after Biden finished speaking. So perfect! Bring it Donald! LOL

I wish RBG and John Lewis were here to see this

2021 BABY!

Just noticed (duh) the plastic barrier between the stage and the crowd.

MSNBC: Confirming that the sky display was drones.

I know for RBG, it's just a long sleep, but I know Lewis is watching.

Ending this god awful year on a high note.

Let’s see Trump try to sell the idea he won after that.

To be a fly on the wall in the White House right now

Damn... checked into Fox... Karl Rove giving Biden raves. I don't know why that moves me so much...

I am loving how the media is basically just ignoring Trump. My fear was they'd give in and give all his bullshit oxygen, but nope.

R497 Even flies would find being that close to Trump too disgusting to tolerate

R492 they were well-protected.

Decency is back!!!!!

Anybody notice Jill is wearing a dress with a Rose Garden on it?

R498 I’ve been saying, FOX has dumped Trump.

I'm celebrating with mimosas. Cheers, my friends.

What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man!!

R498 I did the same and thought has the world gone nuts? No, Trump made it and now we are getting back to normal. But Fox will lose their far right viewers. They must be in rage.

R454, I noticed the Secret Service behind them looked really grim as the principals were walking around. They must have gotten a lot of threats.

The Coldplay song was Beau’s favorite and it was played at his funeral, per Dana Bash.

Do you think Trump's personal household staff in the White House are still suppressing their hatred or are they basically just sneering at Donald and his whore behind their masks. "Sorry Mr. President, we don't seem to have any toilet paper left, sit tight, I'll see what I can do."

This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes!

I'm in tears.

What a bunch of utterly normal looking and acting people.

R503 hidden message, kind of what Queen E would do

R454 for a second it looked like Biden was also spooked.

And they won't get sued for using any of that music either.

I wish I could have been at Obama's inauguration, but I really want to attend Biden's. Can you imagine all the people attending, more than now? It will KILL Trump.

Love that the little granddaughter from Hunter’s brief “relationship” was on stage too, carried by another granddaughter. That’s Joe, he wants his whole family there.

Interesting article from Politico, this will be a very interesting sign as to how the civil service is going to respond to Trump's bullshit.

[quote]You likely have never heard of Emily Murphy. She’d actually prefer to keep it that way. But the low-key civil servant has sole authority over whether or not Joe Biden’s transition can officially move forward, pushing her center stage in the presidential contest.

[quote]Murphy, the administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA), must make an “ascertainment” that Biden has won the presidency before the transition can contact federal agencies or access the millions of dollars set aside for the team. While the Associated Press and POLITICO have determined that Biden has won the election, President Donald Trump has not conceded and recounts are ongoing. “The simple fact is this election is far from over,” Trump said in a statement Saturday. “Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.” This has put Murphy in an awkward position.

[quote]As a rule, the GSA avoids any hint of partisanship. Even as the media declared Biden the winner on Saturday, the GSA was reluctant to immediately follow, saying in a statement that “an ascertainment has not yet been made. GSA and its Administrator will continue to abide by, and fulfill, all requirements under the law.” Every passing day, however, also stalls what was already a historically difficult transition. Making matters even more complicated, the law on the subject is vague and leaves it up to Murphy to determine when Biden is officially president-elect.

The transition is going to show the great importance of having an establishment candidate like Biden. No inexperienced staffers here. He's going to have the best of the best, and that's going to be so vital with Trump likely doing his best to derail an orderly transition.

Back in the realm of NORMALCY and GOOD SENSE!

I sort of wish we lived in a world where Biden could make HRC the head of the DOJ and she can just Prosecute everyone like Orange, Barr, Dejoy... all of them. Just round em all up and be the awful monster they all think she is anyway.

Fox asking hard-hitting questions

I am a bit bummed out that, thanks to the overall message of unity; healing; and cooperation, Biden couldn't do the "(Trump) You're Fired!" bit.

I can't believe how much Kamala and Joe moved me. Its such a big deal to have a sane, mature good people in the White House.

[quote] I really want to attend Biden's. Can you imagine all the people attending, more than now?

There’ll be massive crowds. Real ones, not imaginary ones. And yes, Trump WILL be pissed.

R510 Perfect.

America's back baby!

[quote]I am a bit bummed out that, thanks to the overall message of unity; healing; and cooperation, Biden couldn't do the "(Trump) You're Fired!" bit.

Twitter took care of that. Hell, I joined in.

Fuck, it was cathartic.

R515 just think about if the sun is also out!!!

SNL needs to recast Biden STAT! We can’t be tortured with Jim Carey’s dreadful performance for 4 years!

(R515) I am going to the inauguration! Hope to see you there!

ELECTION 2020 Part 20 here:

Why wasn't any network or media outlet fact checking their speeches?

Your concern is noted, r531 ...

I don't know about the huge inauguration crowd as Covid will still be an issue in January. He may just make it into a huge drive-in event, which would be pretty cool.

R509, no because they are professional. People in that trade take pride in serving everyone graciously.

Of course that dunderhead Brian Williams is already asking Biden's campaign people "how they plan to reach out to the 70 million who DIDN'T vote for you?"

Gag.

lol, r531.

Pathetic.

[quote]People in that trade take pride in serving everyone graciously.

Yes, I am like that always but only if de check clears! Be Best!

R534 Though bear in mind these people exposed those workers to covid twice...

I noticed the Secret Service behind them looked really grim as the principals were walking around.

Yeah, I thought that too; I mean it's not like they're typically smiling like they're at Disney World, but considering the tension of the primaries on stage & the grim *red alert* on the faces of the SS, I was a bit unnerved. But glad it went off without a hitch

How refreshing to see non-plastic people on stage.

It was fucking joke! Because you know, Trump lies all the fucking time.

I'm pretty sure R531 was being sarcastic. As in "funny how there's no need to fact check these speeches"

They will have to sterilize the entire White House and they can use Covid as the excuse.

[quote] Of course that dunderhead Brian Williams is already asking Biden's campaign people "how they plan to reach out to the 70 million who DIDN'T vote for you?"

My response would be: "By sending them welfare checks. You know, the socialist stuff."

Silliness... but really funny... and from some guy:

Replying to @gtconway3d Just rang to report a man on tv now pretending to be president elect, they hung up...

Daddy Jon meacham is on msnbc right now

Just invite everyone Trump fired to the inauguration. It'll be huge.

isn't democracy and socialism sort of the same thing?

I’m so content right now: we did it, hot toddy at side, watching A Hard Day’s Night from that happy window of time......

We did it!!!!!!!!!!

Children to save.

American people to save!

I'm not watching any tv coverage. Just the evening news, rest of the time, I'm getting info from DL. Just can't stand listening to the same BS every 4 years...

These cunts on tv will rot your brain.

MSNBC: Pulitzer Prizewinning writer John Meecham making a good point that the arc of the moral universe bends toward justice only if we have people like John Lewis and the suffragettes and others willing to fight for it and if we're ever vigilant...

R519 Why can’t HRC be assigned to that? I hope they don’t pull people from the Senate and Congress. We need everyone on there

I'm going to miss Bill Barr.

LOL Faux Noise with Karl Rove worrying about how President-elect Biden is going to handle his social distancing at the Inauguration and at the Inaugural Balls.

The chiron says BIDEN ELECTED 46th PRESIDENT.

Donald is toast.

[quote] I'm going to miss Bill Barr.

[quote] —Said absolutely no noe

Except for Trump.

Not that it matters anymore, but is anybody aware of what's going on in Arizona? I see Biden's lead there down in 19,000 votes. How are the new vote dumps breaking for Donald Trump?

Trump can’t catch up in Arizona

Rick Santorum is awful. Not insightful at all and sounds like Debbie Downer.

I wonder how long Trump will keep up this I win thing. The longer he dies the even more crazy he appears.

I can fully enjoy the holidays this year for the first time in 4 years. I'm putting up the Christmas tree before Thanksgiving this year. Thanksgiving and Christmas are saved!

lol

R539 Interesting that the secret service were so noticeable on stage. Don’t think I’ve seen that before.

We can go back to saying "the holidays" without shame for folks who aren't Xtians

R554 there'd not be enough votes to actually get him impeached and removed.

The Republicans are too funny with their “the media doesn’t call elections” - where have you been? They have been doing that for decades. It’s flat out sad for then that they cannot admit they lost.

I know I'm petty, but I want everything to be a slight for awhile. I want the first cabinet meeting to have everyone start giving these ridiculous, over the top, effusive "Thank you Mr. God Emperor for giving me the supreme honor of serving you ..." Until everyone just breaks out laughing at the stupidity of the kind of president who would need that shit.

Murdoch is finished with Trump, LMAO!

Fun idea, r574, but no... maybe if Pete's in the Cabinet he'd do it.

That NY Post cover is a photoshop.

Pete is going to be Chief of Staff.

Fuck. Remember those hair-raising adulation sessions where his cabinet had to openly grovel in front of him and lay gold at his feet? That was fucking INSANE!

That post cover is fake

Here’s the real one

But Murdoch is def over trump

R578 no, he isn’t. Keep dreaming. Maybe VA secretary

This all feels good - but it kinda feels like a horror movie where the monster dies but there's still 20 minutes left.

No, r582, trump can whine and shriek, I'm sure he will but it doesn't mean anything. He's already experiencing the power slipping away, the attention turning to the next center of power.

We'll have to put up with Donald for a while as we move the next President in but Donald's significantly weaker already.

Lol what r578. No, Pete is not under consideration for Chief of Staff.

It will probably be Ron Klain who was his Chief of Staff as VP. You realize Biden has been a politician a while and has a network of people he is significantly closer to than Pete.

You know what becomes of a clown when everybody gets tired and leaves the circus? A sad clown. And nobody likes the sight of that.

Yes, Pete will either get the UN or the VA.

I like Pete a lot, but chief of staff for Biden makes absolutely no sense. But that's what DL does: I like this person so let's stick them in the most inappropriate job possible. Thanks but no thanks.

Pete should be Secretary of Defense or Secretary of State.

Pete should get a minor cabinet post and be a very good surrogate for the administration on Sunday talk shows. he'd be quite good. He has no business being Secretary of State or Defense.

They're not going to make a one time small city mayor SOS. Jesus, people.

[quote]Trump can’t catch up in Arizona

The only way he could get a recount is if he pulls within 200 votes of Biden. The it would be automatic. There is no provision in state statute for a requested recount.

The only place Pete's name comes up for State or Defense is with Pete lovers on the DL...

There is real journalism out there letting you know who Biden is considering.

Being part of the transition team will look good on his resume when he's up for the next VP spot after Kamala.

It's weird how some DLers think like Trump: I like him on TV, let's come up with a totally stupid job for him.

Bitches, I can't believe we actually, finally, just elected the first female Vice President in our nation's history. As much as I wanted Hillary Clinton as president, and the first female president, electing Kamala Harris with Joe Biden puts us that much closer to finally having our first female president. For the first time in 4 years, I'm happy & proud to be an American and maybe even a little prouder to be a Pennsylvanian. To the rest of the country, we Pennsylvanians say: You're welcome! ;-)

He's already Pounder In Chief!

it really is a hell of a thing, long overdue r595. But it really is awesome. Just one more thing to love today.

R594 - to be fair, the last selection of department heads were based on less than that under Trump. So, this is progress.

I mean - the wife of the WorldWide Wrestling Federation, Linda McMahon, was in charge of the Small Bus Administration? And then Betsy DeVos in charge of Education?

I mean - c'mon man.

Pete will get something good and he will be amazing at it. I hope it's the UN, so that he and Chasten can move to NYC and Chasten can be even more fabulous.

Reports are Pete wants UN Ambassador.

Secretary of Veteran Affairs and Press Secretary have also been bandied about as possibilities.

Ambassadorship for Pete. I need to see glamorous Pete and Chasten living the jet-setting life. Rainbow High y'all.

I don't think it's Pete lovers. I think it's Pete haters and Biden haters, shit-stirring.

I did say he's be fantastic as a chief of staff in some ways but not in others (no connections in DC) so he'd never get that job. Klain is a good guess.

Pete is headed for Secretary of the VA with liberal appearances on the Sunday shows.

It finally hit when Kamala and Joe gave their speeches - we are free. The era of decency and tolerance/respect we had with Obama is back. I cried. Not as much as I did with Obama - but I realized how utterly drained I’ve been by the last 4 years and how it’s affected my whole outlook on life and the world. The flood of emotion that came with the realization was unexpected. It’s just feels like I’ve been let out of a dark prison into the sunlight. And there is hope and optimism.

Here you go.

Huh? In what Bizarro world did that happen? In his desperate efforts to smear and destroy the Democratic party and remain relevant, addled Berner (anarchist) Michael Moore has continued to shit all over Dems and tout purist fantasies that only the unelectable Bernie Sander would even listen to. Moore is another Trump-like narcissist who pretends to play for our team, but is just another fat, white multi-millionaire living in a mansion telling the rest of us how everything should be.

He'll be giving out instructions, warnings, and side eye for Joe and Kamala before Monday, bet on it.

[quote]I mean - the wife of the WorldWide Wrestling Federation, Linda McMahon, was in charge of the Small Bus Administration?

Yes, and believe it or not she is widely seen as having done a perfectly fine, non-partisan and professional job there, almost the only Trump appointee who has turned out to be competent in their job. Who knew?
