Surely you mean Antifa will be rioting and looting in celebration. Antifa HQ has been planning it for months!

The Proud Boys and their ilk are going to go off and they’ll be looking to cast blame on minorities for anything that happens (like the police station in Minneapolis that was burnt down during the Floyd protests....a Bugaloo Boi was arrested for that a couple weeks ago).

I see the blue check, but you know how some people will say big whoop, to that. I just mean they're not some fly by night outfit, you know? They're viewed as credible, etc.

Maybe it's 2016 PTSD. I just need a "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" minute here.

There are extremely high stakes for the major network that first calls it, so that's why they're waiting. They all know it's over but literally lives depend on the call and the first to call will be under attack by the right so... an understandable abundance of caution.

Long, deep exhale of relief. I'm surprised by how emotionally invested I was for these past three days.

Good bye, President Trump, you odious toad. I hope today will be a good day, and not marred by violence.

Good or bad, I’m just excited to have an actual statesman back in charge of the most powerful country in the world.

Trump was a Thin skinned, narcissistic ticking time bomb.

Wholeheartedly agree

Although the caveat is the time bomb still has time to go off.

Whats the correct form of address going to be for the new VP?
Maybe a little lost, so far, in the whole thing is the historic first of a female VP.

The craziness is beginning here in Arizona. Alex Jones is in Arizona to protest the count. Paul Gozer is inciting the crowd as much as possible. The police are doing nothing. People are out with their rifles and the election staff are being escorted to their cars and off property.

On the count, they appear to have wisened up a bit on the count and are now trying to normalize data with the senatorial race so the two are consistent, so either it was completely in error or the ripples in social media made an impact.

Good news out of Georgia is the tranches are started to become very small, so they are down the last of the mail-ins. The last significant tranche that Trump had go in his favor, over the 59% he needs, was 19 votes, and it was split 68/31 18 hours ago. We need to go back two days to find a 1,638 tranche, and it went 61/38.

Should it be something other than Madam Vice President?

I have no love for trump but I dont see any reasons to celebrate this, he didn't create an evil empire, he inherited one from the same class of gangster politicians who just got right back into power.

The silver lining on the Trump presidency was he called a lot of negative attention to s*** the US has been doing for decades. My Hope for this is that everyone rebrands their Trump pitchforks as Biden pitchforks instead of just going back to sleep and thinking they defeated the evil empire because it wears a more comforting mask now.
