i guess rudy hosting a press conference in front of a landscaping company next to a dildo shop is just the exclamation point on this absurd presidency

The crematorium and sex shop didn't want to sully their reputations with Rudy so he got the actual bull shit store instead.

So I'll say this a 'lil prematurely in order to provide an answer in kind and in spirit, but nonetheless: "Biden/Harris won, get over it."

What ever it takes right Donnie. Violate peoples privacy and agreements with the USPS. Can't be, he's the law and order president

Trump campaign lawyers may have violated Privacy Act and USPS rules

Lawyers for the campaign say they accessed an exclusive USPS database in order to cross-check voter information

It just irks me. New York is pushing the social distancing restrictions hard... unless it's a political rally for their party. Then it seems to turn into a free for all.

This was not a planned event, you can't contain the joy and feeling of relief people are experiencing now that
Captian bone-spur is gone in January.

This was assumed to be the case when the George Floyd protests started, but no super spreader events happen. Can't be said the same for a certain loser's political rallies.

I was going to mention the same thing. Looking at these crowds as with the anti-fascist protests over the summer, it looks like these people are mostly wearing masks.

Weird how that works, huh? Almost like stupid people should probably start listening to smart people.

I certainly understand, but I mean, this country has been in a figurative prison for the last 4 years. People gonna let it out.

So absurd that it's like an episode of Arrested Development. The trolling is merciless-

So fitting for the past four years. The President giving a deranged speech in some back alley. Hopefully it's the last he ever gives.

Fox pundits saying nothing is decided until Dec. 14 when the electors meet. Just more reality aversion.

I look at all the footage of the celebrations and think "Shit, you guys are still balls deep in the pandemic!". But I can understand the celebrations. The Trump presidency has been a four year pandemic of lies, corruption and incompetence. Four more years of Trump would have been far worse than this pandemic (although I say this as someone who is privileged to live in a state that hasn't had local transmission of the virus in over six months).

Personally I'm pretty stoked about the result and I don't even have a horse in the race. Even my apolitical wife has been following the election. I think that's because this election has true global ramifications.

I found a picture of Trump on his way to celebrate his win earlier this morning:

Outdoors with nearly universal mask wearing is reasonably safe. Obviously not everyone will be smart and so it's not an entirely risk-free environment.

You're in New Zealand? American politics aside, I think the entire world has a horse in the climate change race.

Something Biden can do quite easily and can't be blocked by the right guard resistance. He will be able to bring some calm and reassurance to our allies.

Maybe someone needs to explain to Trump, that conceding now, does not mean he can't do anymore damage before he has to leave.

Nothing we do is entirely risk free, but I can totally understand taking the risk to celebrate this result.

I currently live in Western Australia. We've gone even longer than NZ without local transmission.

Agree re climate change. Hopefully a Biden win will force our Federal Government's hand on climate change. Going to be really hard for us to justify not having a plan for net zero when both China and the US do.

Are you kidding me? I said competent

You really MISUNDERESTIMATE covfefe!. Since when has competent been their brand?

Good article about the mixed impact of COVID on this election. Conventional wisdom is that Trump lost voter share because of his erratic and incompetent handling of it. But there's another side. Trump had a massive ground game that they spent over $350 million on, 2.5 million volunteers doing door to door knocking in swing states. Modelled after, of all things, Obama's 2012 campaign which they studied.

While Biden, to stay consistent on COVID, did a modest ground game, calls and mailers only. This increased republican turnout and probably hurt the down ballot races.

This IMO was a huge mistake which probably cost us the Senate and some House seats.

Not just that, the isolation pushed people to the conspiracy theories.

That can't come soon enough for Australia and the UK. The Murdoch/Facebook/Trump Trinity has wrecked havoc on our democracies too. Trump was a great enabler of despicable behaviour among like minded demagogues.

In Trump’s home county of Queens, 81% voted for Biden. In Manhattan, where Trump has done business and lived for most of his life, 85% voted for Biden. To know him is to really not like him.

Something is going on in Fulton county GA. Some irregularities with the vote scan and they are redoing Friday’s tally.

Nightfall coming. Let's hope the crowd disperses before the opportunists come and make the celebrations into looting or even worse Trumpards cause damage and set things on fire. And yes orange loser defenders, it's agent provocateur that made the peaceful BLM protests look bad.
