Nexus2's JournalIf this administration has opened my eyes to one thing...
Its how much our system of governance is dependent on, often individuals, not behaving like childish, even apparently delusional and/or sociopathic jackasses.
An intereesting article in Time
As the new day dawned and dragged on, it increasingly looked as though Biden was right. Having flipped Michigan, Arizona and Wisconsin, Biden appeared to be inching toward victory. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina remained too close to call as of the evening of Nov. 4. Independent forecasters believed Biden was likely to eke out the requisite 270 electoral votes when all the votes were counted, over the Presidents noisy objections.
Even with the White House nearing their grasp, Bidens supporters could be forgiven if they found it hard to keep the faith. The 2020 election did not go according to plan for the Democrats. It was a far cry from the sweeping repudiation of Trump that the polls had forecast and liberals craved. After all the outrage and activism, a projected $14 billion spent and millions more votes this time than last, Trumps term is ending the way it began: with an election once again teetering on a knifes edge, and a nation entrenched in stalemate, torn between two realities, two orientations, two sets of facts

It occurred to me: One the things a vengeful Trump might to punish the nation that 'betrayed' him...
...is veto any Stimulus bill that crosses his desk during the period before his term ends. And if McConnell is still majority leader of the Senate couldn't he block any attempts to 'pack' the Supreme Court?
When Trump did his victory announcement last night but took so long to come to the podium
Did anyone else honestly hope something had happened to Trump, perhaps medical or mental that incapacitated him or worse?
I LOATHE the damn EC.
You're running for Grand God King of your house against someone. 10 people are voting. 5 vote for you, 4 for him, 1 abstains. He wins because 3 the people that voted for him happened to be in the kitchen
Cripes, Trump is predictable
Biden makes a statement and, minutes later, Trump has declared he'll make one just as nearly all the commentators joked.
Is it too "tin foil hat" to to suspect something is off about the handling of mail-in ballots?
Specifically how the ballots from minorities and democratic areas appear to be getting rejected at higher rates (some as high as double) than ballots from whites or Republican 'stronghold' regions?
Is MSNBC no longer coming in on SLING for anyone else?
It stopped working (no sound or picture) for me at about 4pm EST.
