I say we go back to arguing over whether Dems are progressive enough, or too progressive.

Congratulations america

AP, CNN, and various REAL news sources (>.> != Fox news <.<)  declare Joe Biden victory in Pa.

[Rose]

Fox news declared joe biden the winner all over the place now.

[wierd]

Well good. Glad they decided to stop peddling fake news.

[Mephisto]

Keep an eye on the Georgia senate race. It's not over til then.

Unrelated:

The Lincoln Project losers are already releasing attack ads calling for Biden's impeachment.

Fox News going against Trump feels less like rats fleeing a sinking ship, and more like rats eating through the hull after they ate all the cheese in the hold.

Are you sure? That was an Onion article from this morning.

More like rats in denial about ever getting on that ship that is currently sinking.

Look there are many rats. Some are jumping off the boat, others are getting on the lifeboats, some chewing through the boat to get out. Some are staying put and denouncing those worried about the tilt of the boat or water on the floor as "low energy". Some in the latter category want to keep chewing through the boat to own the libs.

Shit. I've never fallen for one of those. My source shared the picture but not a link so I took it at face value. My bad.

[Rolan7]

It's a particularly believable Onion headline, until you consider that they surely prefer Biden to Harris.

[Random_Dragon]

Now we just have to see whether we get a coup attempt from ex-president Duck, and wait out the boogaloo'ing.

[Dostoevsky]

Gotta say, despite my earlier predictions of litigation, recounts, and long uncertainty, the margins right now make it look pretty darn unlikely for Trump to eke out a win. Still a chance their lawyers could find some proper evidence and mount substantive court cases across several states, but thus far they've been... not doing that. At all. Technically not over yet, but looking pretty cinched for Biden.

Very astounded Georgia went blue - a recount could flip it back, but would be an abnormally-large recount shift for that to happen. The folks working turnout there must have lifted mountains; will be interesting to see how the Senate runoffs go.

All that said, Biden's got a tough term ahead of him regardless of the Senate situation. If McConnell remains in charge it might honestly be a little easier for him as there'd be somebody to blame for lack of legislation. With a 50-50 (plus Harris) Senate, they could nuke the filibuster and do substantive legislation on their own, but that'd require getting Manchin Sinema & co. to go along with each and every vote.

Last night, at least, Meadows said that if Trump loses he'll run again in 2024. (This was before Meadows was confirmed to have COVID, for what it's worth.)

Between the win margin and the early cases that got thrown out, we're probably past the "legal shenanigans" phase and awaiting the "illegal shenanigans" one, yeah.
