"Some degree of abuse is inseparable from the thing itself"
- James Madison


Overall, the election was much closer than it should have been.
But the final results were fairly good at the presidential level.
Biden flipped back the 3 Midwest states Trump narrowly won in '16.
Also flipped AZ and GA, GOP strongholds not long ago.
306-232.

Florida was a disappointment.  As is the fact that OH and IA were not terribly close.
With NV, AZ, NM, & CO, really the West is even.  The GOP gets more states, but emptier ones. 
The EV's are just about even.

Obviously the next step is NC and shoring up GA.
Dems could have the entire Eastern seaboard except SC and FLA.
And at some point, Dems will crack FLA.

Again too many real close states this go.
But at least they fell BLUE for the first time in a long time.

GA on everybody's minds.

Next step is to expand efforts in Alabama and Mississippi.

The excuses start already

"It is a blessing that we have so many vaccine candidates - on the threshold - and that credit has to be given to this administration and this NATION.  Without this nation, these vaccines would not have been possible"


AMEN

Pfizer would like to disagree. So would the Russians and Chinese.

Me? I am willing to give them credit for having pushed to get them done, brickbats for trying to push things through prematurely, and a grade of incomplete on finishing the job.

Plus... it would be far less urgent, if Trump had just done his job.

Well run - and kind of celebratory presser today - complete with reports from key figures in COVID fight - and a zing at Governor Cuomo.

Thanks for the great work, Trump/Pence administration

Too bad for the press that they were unable to blurt out their asshat questioning.

----

So, do I have this right - Biden is planning on getting rid of the leaders of this operation, General Perna and the lead doctor?


As evidenced by this presser Trump has something in common with dogs; both can lick their own balls.

Elitist Andrew Yang , former corporate lawyer and democrat presidential candidate ( he won all of 22 delegates), and Ivy League educated egghead, is moving his family to Georgia and hoping he can vote in the Senate run-off elections.

Moreover he is suggesting other democrats do the same.
He was joined in that advice by fellow leftist Thomas Friedman a columnist of the New York Times.

Both Yang and Friedman are encouraging FRAUD!

It is illegal — a felony, in fact — to move to Georgia solely with the intention of voting, and not to establish a permanent residence.

It is also illegal to vote in a Georgia runoff if you have already voted in a Senate race in the general election in another state.

If Yang and his family move to Georgia for the sole purpose of voting in the runoff elections and have  cast votes in previous Senate race then they are pretty stupid.

But then, Yang is a partisan politician.

I guess Friedman removed all doubt as to what he is.

I’m sure they’ll have no trouble getting the appropriate yet unnecessary PHOTO ID.

No links,  no evidence,  no reason to think this account is true and accurate.   We can dismiss it,  on that basis.

Too fucking funny.

Ward is accusing somebody else of being a partisan, with Mitch McConnell in the Senate and Donald Trump (still) in the White House.

You have no idea whether Yang would establish permanent residence there or not nor whether or for whom he voted in his prior Senate race this year.

But you could have. It's a matter of public record, but you preferred to make stupid accusations, instead.

Prove me wrong.

Nobody can prove anything to you, shithead.

We've demonstrated things to you, shared facts with you, and broken things down for you piece by fucking piece, but it never matters.

I did not coin the phrase "lie, deny, and obfuscate" about you out of thin air. You LIVE that approach to anything that disagrees with what you have claimed.

You cannot even admit when you misspell something.

So, I proved that Yang would be breaking the law by voting for Ossoff and Warner. It has been shown that it is not a felony for him to move there and establish a household and vote.

Prove you are not a lying shithead.

Go ahead.

I dare you.

It's been 100 days since our average daily death rate was this high. August 5th. The next mark is August 4th. Might take us a day to get there.

The one after that is May 24th - nearly 25 weeks ago.

It would still be a steep climb to pass our high for average deaths, just over double the current rate. I'm still hoping we won't get there, but with assholes like Ward spreading misinformation about masks, I fear it is all too likely that we will.

Kid wants me to chill, while the LIAR-in-Chief he continues to support keeps saying crap like this:

“We test far more than any other country so it shows obviously more cases."

Again, our daily cases have QUADRUPLED. Our testing has not. And our death rate is up about 57% in a hair under four weeks.

Shockingly enough, the death rate does not increase as a result of increased testing.

Meaningless response illustrating my point.

You have no ability to point to a thing in your post that counters what I said, so you don't, while pretending that it does.

Like I said, Ward:

PROVE that you are not a shithead. Behave like somebody who can illustrate a point, instead of perpetually claiming that others just cannot fathom your simple prose.

I dare you.
