Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
This is based on the results in Pennsylvania, which put Biden over the threshhold. Just remember that Professor Ceiling Cat (Emeritus) was the first to call the election.
Nope. Heard it from Axios first! Neener neener poddy woddy, to employ a standard Trumpian triumphal expression.
I might sigh with relief, but whether the sequelae will be comical or frightening remains a tad too uncertain for comfort.
But I am not so proud as to deny that, right now, a part of me is delighted to know that somewhere, on a desolate stretch of Virginia golf course, a giant turd of a human is wandering, isolated from his handlers, alone, ranting and fuming and eating his heart out. Yes indeed, I feel the warmth of that.
Hurrah! I’m having a drink in Edinburgh to celebrate. Tough times to come, of course, but this is a great victory. Congrats, America, though it was too close for my liking. Vive la République Américaine!
Sample: “Counting. These un-American monsters just want to count. It’s all you hear about from the fake media: Count, count, count, COUNT, COUNT. Count, count, count.
And you know what they do? They say that if you count all the votes and there are more votes for Biden than there are for Trump, then Biden wins the state. Can you believe that? It’s a fraud. It’s cheating. It’s math, and you know who else uses math? Globalists. Evil, evil people who want to destroy us and all of the 58 states that make up our great nation.”
With a 4+ million popular vote lead, it should not have been this close. Anxiously awaiting vote counts from scattered counties in AZ and NV. Ridiculous. The Electoral College must go, or be reformed to have the Electors determined in proportion to popular vote rather than winner take all.
Putin will not give a damn. Agent Orange has not done a good job, because he could not even manipulate a simple presidential election as Putin had done in the past.
My prediction on November 2nd matches the current situation almost exactly but I imagine Biden will win more electoral votes. IMO, it was an excellent prediction. I said
“The most likely scenario is that things continuing to turn in Trump’s direction with Pennsylvania being the decisive state. It will be a few days to a week before the count is decided there. Left wing rioting will occur during this time.
I expect Biden to be projected the winner 279-259 on November 9th. I expect Trump to claim voting fraud and China using coronavirus to sabotage him but from him to leave office peacefully. I expect his supporters to follow suit with lots of kvetching and armed but mostly peaceful protests. There will be more antifa riots (e.g. in Portland and a few other cities) than riot wing violence.”
“I could not be prouder to congratulate our next President, Joe Biden, and our next First Lady, Jill Biden.
I also couldn’t be prouder to congratulate Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff for Kamala’s groundbreaking election as our next Vice President.
In this election, under circumstances never experienced, Americans turned out in numbers never seen. And once every vote is counted, President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris will have won a historic and decisive victory.
We’re fortunate that Joe’s got what it takes to be President and already carries himself that way. Because when he walks into the White House in January, he’ll face a series of extraordinary challenges no incoming President ever has – a raging pandemic, an unequal economy and justice system, a democracy at risk, and a climate in peril.
I know he’ll do the job with the best interests of every American at heart, whether or not he had their vote. So I encourage every American to give him a chance and lend him your support. The election results at every level show that the country remains deeply and bitterly divided. It will be up to not just Joe and Kamala, but each of us, to do our part – to reach out beyond our comfort zone, to listen to others, to lower the temperature and find some common ground from which to move forward, all of us remembering that we are one nation, under God.
Finally, I want to thank everyone who worked, organized, and volunteered for the Biden campaign, every American who got involved in their own way, and everybody who voted for the first time. Your efforts made a difference. Enjoy this moment. Then stay engaged. I know it can be exhausting. But for this democracy to endure, it requires our active citizenship and sustained focus on the issues – not just in an election season, but all the days in between.
Our democracy needs all of us more than ever. And Michelle and I look forward to supporting our next President and First Lady however we can. ” = http://www.facebook.com/barackobama
MY TOAST to Dr Jill Biden, the F I R S T
First Lady who earned a doctorate. She, too,
plans to become the F I R S T First Lady
to hold down a full – time job OUTside
her newest home … … concurrently with its
First Lady – duties.
Also try, really really swiftly, saying
this twister in re Mr Emhoff nine or ten times: First Second Gentleman.
The current government of the State of
California will select for the United States’
Senate the person to fill Vice President –
Elect Harris’ seat there. Thus, ¡ Y E A !
¡ a Senator … … Democrat !
Will somebody count and inventory all the silverware, China, carpets, VCRs in the White House before the crime family are evicted by the DC Marshall’s service?
Check that blonde with the Louis Vuitton luggage as well. She’s a shifty one.
Thank you for some other informative website. The place else may just I get that kind of information written in such a perfect method? I have a venture that I am simply now running on https://9jabee.com , and I’ve been at the glance out for such info.
I appreciate
THRILLED to be able to say “Congratulations, PCC!”
Well done, everyone!!! Votes do matter, indeed.
Nope. Heard it from Axios first! Neener neener poddy woddy, to employ a standard Trumpian triumphal expression.
I might sigh with relief, but whether the sequelae will be comical or frightening remains a tad too uncertain for comfort.
Finally. And now we enter a very dangerous couple of months.
Yep. I’m a bit worried about that actually.
But I am not so proud as to deny that, right now, a part of me is delighted to know that somewhere, on a desolate stretch of Virginia golf course, a giant turd of a human is wandering, isolated from his handlers, alone, ranting and fuming and eating his heart out. Yes indeed, I feel the warmth of that.
Yes, indeed!
Moody Bluesesque…
Time, now, to watch the child melt in ways that make Chernobyl look like a playground.
😀 I’ve been more into Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye.
I have a bottle of Rotkäppchen Sekt in the refrigerator. I just wanted to enjoy it tonight in a relaxed way.
But now I’m going to toast to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Congratulations!
Let’s not forget to mention, Kamala Harris is the first woman VP-elect in US history.
And, the first child of immigrants, and the first African American/Indian VP.
“first African American/Indian VP” – Yes, but interestingly not the first American Indian veep:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Curtis
Most interesting. I never knew.
Ms Harris’ mother was ‘Indian’ from Southern India, Mr Curtis was an ‘Amerindian’, a ‘Native American’.
Best birthday present ever. That is all.
Happy Birthday Yazikus!
Bye, Don.
Don’t let the door knob hit you in your ass on the way out of the WH.
Hurrah! I’m having a drink in Edinburgh to celebrate. Tough times to come, of course, but this is a great victory. Congrats, America, though it was too close for my liking. Vive la République Américaine!
An hour ago Trump tweeted from la-la land: “I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!”
https://mhoefert.blogspot.com/2020/11/blue-cheeseheads.html
This is unbelievably good news.
There will of course be massive problems for the US in the coming years, but however bad it gets, it would have been much worse had that idiot won.
Perhaps tonight I won’t have the dream about being strangled by a screeching, orange gorilla.
Happy to do that. As long as everybody remembers I was the person who coyned the term “President Eject”.
Kudos for term “President Eject”. I used a few minutes ago on a German blog. 😃
Finally some relief!
Thank Americans!
Congratulations to all the sane Americans! Thanks to all of you, the world is safer today.
Life is better already, a lot better.

A suggested Trump end-game speech—not
so different, I would guess, from what we will soon hear—can be enjoyed at:

Damn shame, Putin may have to recall his puppet.
Putin will not give a damn. Agent Orange has not done a good job, because he could not even manipulate a simple presidential election as Putin had done in the past.
I’m ecstatic! So overjoyed for your country, and we can breathe now that we’re out from under the yoke of that yoker.

Finally, one bright spot in this, the annus horribilis of all anni horribiles.
Will somebody count and inventory all the silverware, China, carpets, VCRs in the White House before the crime family are evicted by the DC Marshall’s service?
