America has voted its way out of trouble, but it was a squeaker!
The NYT follows suit

“Harris Is First Woman Elected Vice President”
Is it me, or was expecting some additional hip pronouns and modern spellings too progressive of me? E.g. “cis” or “Womxn”.
Please, no!
The WaPo headline says “Harris makes history as the first woman of color elected vice president”. They should have added “any” before “color”!
Indeed, but not the first veep of colo(u)r: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Curtis
Giuliani is giving a live press conference now in Pennsylvania and we got to see the moment when the audience informed him that the national race had been called. Hilarity ensued!
Not to rain on this parade, but even though Trump will soon be gone, Trumpism is alive and well. How do we know this to be true? Simple: Trump got more votes than last time. THAT is scary.
Sadly, you did rain on this parade. Why don’t you let us enjoy this moment for a while?
It’s about ten posts in a row now that you are asking people who disagree with your opinion that America is “out of trouble” now to hold their tongue so you can celebrate this squeaker win of a 78 year old who voted for the Iraq war and promised to not ban fracking but did promise to block universal healthcare and did not promise to do anything at all about the growing wealth gap between the rich and poor.
Goodbye, Jerry, you’ve officially jumped the shark. I will now leave you to celebrate this great victory free from my dissenting opinion. I hope others will also oblige your request to not counter your deeply held beliefs.
“It’s about ten posts in a row now that you are asking people who disagree with your opinion that America is “out of trouble” now to hold their tongue so you can celebrate this squeaker win of a 78 year old . . . .”
I am not worthy to genuflect before, nor able to survive the shekinah of, your exquisite loquaciousness. Perhaps Gad Saad should designate you “Honey Badger of the Week.”
Tim, before you go, I haven’t received an email regarding the payment to FFRF on our bet on the presidential election. Perhaps there was some confusion in the communication of my email address. It’s kenkukec@gmail.com. Thanks.
Hope you’ll be back after the celebrating is over.
Onward to 306, a landslide by Trump’s own admission.
Looking forward to helping make Biden’s inauguration crowd truly the biggest ever.

Any estimates or projections on whether Trump can pull it out through some shenanigans in the Supreme Court?
Limited knowledge, but I’d guess the Supreme Court will turn down every appeal request, as a group, won’t even consider them. We’ll see.
I agree. Their legal challenges seem to have such little substance that they’ll just get laughed out of court. My guess is that he and his team are used to coming up with crap aimed at only convincing his sycophantic fans, letting his media amplifiers blow it into something. He also doesn’t have real lawyers, probably because they refused to work for him now that he’s got the loser’s stink about him.
