Republican scum will just blame the democrats for Trump, and remain confident that their republican senators are all moral, godly people, only interested in the good of the country. If Trump is gone soon, it will take republicans about 2 minutes to start pretending that they never liked Trump and think that all teh healing is already done. ...that the Senate remaining as it is is just more vindication of how right they are.

These are all fucking horrible people, and the country can't progress until these republican bastards are gone.

To be honest, I would prefer they try to pull off this ultimate retcon rather than double down and try to find someone ever more outlandish.

Getting rid of the cult leader doesn't get rid of the cult.

The right-wing media has created a largely leaderless conspiracy cult that, with Trump, had found a leader and glommed onto him like hungry fucking ticks.

But now that leader is going to fall. And possibly became a martyr, (or a "loser.)" Yet, I can't help but think of how Trump will fuck that up like he fucks everything else up. Without the power of the office, his cult leadership in the leaderless cult will drop and they'll go back to following Q and the pseudointellectuals and fake news sites again.

Actually, he can now completely control his image with crafted and edited content that only he approves and will return to that fake-ass character that he was on the Apprentice. It could actually empower him but hopefully, as stupid and loud as he is, he could say something so brazenly stupid along the lines of slander and well, simply inspire some of this super violent insane supporters (which is basically any of the 60million+ that voted for him this year), to go out and commit massive violence.

....that will definitely get him in real shit.

Agreed wholeheartedly. Trump the candidate, barring a miracle, lost his re-election. But Trumpism won the night.

And what's Trump gonna do with that? The power of the presidency is gonna be removed from him IIRC at noon Jan. 21, 2021. Talk about a deflating experience! He's not ready for that, not a bit. He's gonna feel so disoriented it isn't funny. He's not a party functionary, he's had nothing but the presidency to give him any cache in the political sphere. He will have none come middle January. Those Trumpies will be looking around for a new hero, but won't find anyone like Trump.

The Biden admin needs to make sure to count the silverware when they move in.

I assume that he's going to order the long-delayed gut-renovation on the west wing that he's refused because it would mean it can't be inhabited for nearly half a year, I think.

You know he is going to do that. You just fucking know it.

Covid has been a huge wildcard though. As incredibly depressing as it is to say, it seems extremely likely that Trump would have won in a pandemic-free world. If he's a free man, I can totally see him trying to turn that fact into another run, and you know he'd go into the GOP primaries with significant support.

But still, he screwed up badly with COVID, and by doing so exposed much wrong with him (and our greedy grow the GDP at all costs capitalist society). As in money > lives. Meanwhile places like New Zealand and Australia are getting back to normal within their borders.

He touts energy independence yet he didn't completely close down the borders. Not sure the Dems would have either but... it is what it is.

Leningrad Lindsy would like to be their friend.
 
Nate Cohn is now predicting a Biden win in PA by 100,000-150,000 votes.
 
Biden is netting votes in the mail in votes being tabulated in Red Counties in PA which is why he’s going to win. It’s not just getting shit tons of votes near Philly but he’s picking up margins everywhere running down Trump margins across the state.

Still about 1million mail in votes left to count.
 
As for why the votes are taking so long in PA. They have to take it out of the envelope. Then it to the privacy envelope. Verify. Flatten. Scan. For each and every mail in ballot. All 2.5million of them.

Right now this is is the date of all the races based on data from the votes left to count and where they come from.

NC leans Trump expected to tighten as the next 7 days pass and last arriving mail in ballots are counted. Trump expected to ekk it out.

Georgia leans Biden. Essentially a true toss up.

Arizona leans Biden. Trump needs to win 62% of the remaining vote and it’s probably not going to happen.

Nevada likely Biden. Remaining votes are mail in and overwhelmingly come from Clark and Washu.

PA. Likely Biden. With 1million mail in ballot to be counted Biden is netting votes in every county not just Dem Strongholds. In Dem strongholsa he’s netting 65-80% of those votes.

Just saw that explanation on MSNBC. There is just no way for Trump to legitimately win at this point. Hell, James Carvel is even saying the race for control of the Senate really isn't a done deal.
