I actually had to play with a Trumper today who showed up in his MAGA hat. He was looking for an engagement. I thought this was going to be a brutally awkward round, especially when the news arrived of Biden's win. Of course the Trumper went off on a bit of a tirade about losing and how Trump was one the right path with MAGA. I let him say his piece then told him that Biden is going to be making his own MAGA hats and give one to every American as a show of faith. He was a little miffed and confused until I told him MAGA for Biden means, "Malarkey, America's Great Already." After some good laughs over that the rest of the round was peaceful and pretty enjoyable.

Twitter needs a function like CalgaryPuck has that turns any ALLCAPS posts into all lowercase. It would be funny to see him lose his mind over the "censorship".

glad to see that the "lid" the WH called doesn't apply to Trump's twitter account

I just remember something vaguely along the lines of “I am only going to respond to the things *I* deem worth responding to”.

Maybe it was in Covid thread.

I disagree, it’s never someone else’s choice whether you decide to treat them with respect or not and I don’t see what you stand to gain by dismissing them in any manor that is less than respectful.

Fox News (I know, I had to look) reports that the WH is saying once legal avenues are exhausted, Trump will concede.

Just watched a video of Kamala on the phone with Biden with a Secret Service detail visible in the distance. Maybe they’re on duty as soon as candidates are nominated by their parties.

Given that the Democrats have now won 7 of the last 8 popular votes, I would suggest it’s the Electoral College moreso than apathy or ignorance that has led to the current state of things.

The Dakotas shouldn’t have twice the Senators California does.

It’s like Wpg having twice the representation of Canada.
