I'd give Dr. F a D grade.
He's tainted by his association with Trump's failed CV policies.
Dr. Faustus was wrong often enough and helped make the US pandemic worse.
Besides, he'll be 80 before the Biden Admin starts.

Important for Biden to start fresh with those who aren't wedded to past policies.
Scour all that's gone on and root out fraud, corruption, poor administrators and poor decisions.  Need to get this right.

If possible, run a whole audit on all the Trump deals and supply chains and mechanisms.
Determine what is proper, acceptable and effective.  Streamline and weed out cronies and waste and bottlenecks and improper contracts.

Unfortunately, Joe Biden is now president-elect and will become our nation’s leader Jan. 20, unless a series of long-shot lawsuits by President Trump and his supporters result in a surprise upset. But Biden won the Democratic presidential nomination and the general election by portraying himself as a moderate, not a socialist revolutionary

I think he won by not denouncing the extreme left.  Did a nice job in that respect

Like I said during and after the 2016 election - say what you need to to get elected (Trump DID) - then govern as you see fit and how you are able, given the makeup of Congress and what you can do with executive order.

Biden a looney leftie?  Nahh.....

Kamala?  Nope.

We'll all be fine - and guys like Larry and Fac will be banging their heads against a wall 4 more years wondering how his party could have chosen this guy.

Then we (very well may) get EIGHT years of Trump on top of his 4.

heh

Larry.......

You have to relax.....

You have to get a clue, but that requirement doesn't seem to be having any impact on you.

So, why does Larry have to relax?

And if you truly want Larry to relax, you will stop posting such asinine bullshit.

You should politely ask Larry to stop posting references to Nazis.  Clean the place up a little in your final days

You’ve been outed, you little fucking goose stepper. Cleanup you act. Burn your brown shirts. Shave your tiny little mustache.

Australia is ranked 43rd in the world for internet. :-)
That's part of the "backward" title.
CIA base at Pine Gap in the Outback probably has its own better system. :-)
Given that Australia is on the bottom half of the globe and the logistic difficulties in having to put poles and stuff in upside down, plus WFi signals falling down into the ether of space, 43rd is pretty good. If I understand the science correctly.

There would be little surprise if a Georgia recount had Perdue at greater than 50%
Considering the hand recount is for presidential votes only, that would in fact be a huge surprise.

Which is why I didnt say THE recount.

Funny you mention it though -

Is it strange to you that so many Biden voters did not bother voting for a Senate candidate?

How about that so many new voters registered who were over 90?

No?

Funny.

No.

Not surprising considering a lot of seniors realized Trump and the Rona don’t give a shit s out them.

Maybe Biden should keep Jared on board to ensure a smooth transition ...


An ambassadorship might make sense for Kushner.  Leader of the party working for the other side?  VINNICK!

Ha! More like he’s gonna have to answer before several courts.

Can't debate numbers if you don't post any.   You do know what's called "undervoting" is quite common in American presidential elections,  right?   And has never been linked to anything fraudulent.

Needs does this occasionally, repost when someone raises a serious issue and then doesn't engage with a reply.   Kid,  ball's in your court.   Do you have any evidence that undervoting is an irregularity?

Adelson's Las Vegas Review-Journal says it is time for Trump to accept reality and let the transition get going.

It's going.

Can you try not lying for a single day?

He isn’t lying.

He absolutely believes the shit he says.

Fwiw, RCP has called PA for Biden and has him at 279, with GA and AZ uncalled.


Quote
Biden even made inroads with the state’s evangelical and born-again Christians, who make up an estimated one-third of the electorate in Georgia. The Democrat won support from 14% of those voters, compared with the 5% who backed Clinton four years ago, according to exit polls.

Quote
The state has added 1 million voters since 2016, nearly two-thirds of which were people of color and almost half under age 35. Exit polls from Nov. 3 showed 88% of Black voters and 62% of Latinos backed Biden in Georgia, as did 56% of young people under 30.

Nothing is different.  Biden is making plans, as all incoming leaders do.  Is not being blocked at all.


So, the answer is no, you can't.

If you were right, then there would not be a push for Biden to have the access that Presidents-elect have had for decades to security briefings.

If you were right, then space and money designated for transition would have been released.

If you were right, then there would have been no memo sent out warning Executive Branch folks to not cooperated with the Biden team.

But since you are an incorrigible liar, "not being blocked at all" is the bullshit you spew.

It is a blatant disingenuous line of bullshit and he knows it.

After all, he admitted he trolls us.

I clicked on a right-wing RCP article on PA voting hoping to gain some insight into allegations of fraud. 

Well, Why Pennsylvania Doesn’t Add Up is some real weak sauce.  The first half has the writer talk to people in a  rural county and those who attended a Trump rally, and everyone of them swears no one they know voted for Biden.  Quite a case.  Then the 2nd half says mail in ballots are suspicious in every way, and I started laughing when the author cited Europe as mostly not allowing mail-in ballots.  When does the Right ever accept anything Europe does as right or a model for America?

There's a small attempt at numbers towards the end, but it's based on an unsubstantiated claim extrapolated from one polling station to the whole state.  Otherwise, looking at increases from Clinton to Biden, a 25% increase in one county is claimed to be almost 30%.

Really the whole piece is an embarrassingly weak effort.  And I'm sure if the author had any real knowledge of fraud or numbers of illegal votes, he would have led the article off with that instead of talking to hicks who all say they rather be red than dead, or however that goes these days.

In Georgia there is a wide disparity between TRUMP voters who voted only for president and BIDEN voters who did the same.

Something like a 90 K difference.
