It is incredible. The closest scenes I can recall to the dances and celebrations have been when dictators were ousted.

The look of a man who has realized he won't be able to cry, sue or lie his way into a second term.

He looks defeated. He sounded defeated before. He is defeated. The people have spoken.

This wasn't really a win so much as a "Do less harm" placeholder.

Though I do love the whining about a rigged election where dems didn't manage to take control of the senate and barely hung on to the lead in the house. 'Cause if you're going to cheat, you're going to cheat big, right? Seriously, if Dems were going to cheat, getting control of the House and Senate would be a much more valuable avenue than focusing on the president. Especially in this election where all eyes were on the presidency and very few people were paying attention to the other races.

A Democratic House and Senate would have been a bigger victory because Trump would have been kneecapped and likely had laws pass that would prevent him from doing more harm without the backing of both checks in Congress, Especially if they had cheated their way to a supermajority in both. There were better ways to grab power than cheating Trump directly.

Republicans gaslighting about the election result is such BS. Going to be a few weeks of nonsense serving no purpose but dividing the country further and keeping Trump at the center. People in this country could really use stimulus checks now, it’s going to be a brutal winter.

It’s be perfectly laughable to see them spin what is an overwhelming victory for Biden into anything but. At this point Biden has smashed PA and the Blue Wall states and they just called Arizona. There’s no scenario where Trump wins or does even a bit of good. But their standing internationally keeps sinking. If you can’t even accept results of a democratic election that is as transparent as humanly possible, you can’t be trusted to govern. At this point it feels like sanctions and embargoes wouldn’t be out of place.

But the other problem is that by not starting the transition you worsen the ability for Biden to hit the ground running which is bad as his first priority is a Pandemic that is now worsening exponentially.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Commander in Cheetodust is squatting soggy turds in every room of the white house before he leaves. It would be totally in his character.

The Republican Party is afraid of Trump, his die hard supporters and the QAnon cult. They've allowed a huge chunk of their base to go completely insane and have no idea how to fix it.

At this point the rate definitely need to jump ship as this is getting out of hand. Betting the PDB they won’t give Biden access to is rife with how secure the election was and hence why they won’t let Biden see them. Trump must be thrilled he conceded via his wife too.

What percentage of the electorate thinks the election was stolen just because Trump said so?

I’d love to know what the plan is to get these people back to motherfucking Earth. It isn’t healthy for such a sizable population of this country to continue carrying out this unsavory fantasy. Also, unfulfilled QAnon promises are leading to suicides. This right wing conspiracy culture is killing people.

Just sad. I didn’t like that Trump won but at no point did I assume it was fraud

Brian Karen overheard someone at the White House calling Trump the Lame Duck a l’orange and that makes me happy.

Looks like Biden finally has all 306 electoral votes that were projected. Finally.

Absolute thrashing after all. 306, 5m more votes, historic turnout, historic mandate. Quite impressive.
