I think Cruz has exceeded the limit of winning that award.

I suppose that means Giuliani is out, too.

But I thought this was extra special, even for Cruz.

If Biden's lead expands 68348 votes from where CNN has it now, he'll have doubled Clinton's lead over Trump in popular vote.

79 million people have spoken. 

Trump defeated AGAIN and by nearly double the votes.

This is Biden's country and he has his mandate to govern.

Why is Giuliani in charge now?



Why would you be concerned?  Your side has quite a low opinion of him

The cousin fucker has earned every bit of ridicule, distain, and disrespect that comes his way.

What mandate is that?

Biden’s mandate is to further socialize healthcare coverage, rebuild crumbling infrastructure, improve the financial standing and security of 90% of Americans at the expense of the richest .2%, expand access to top quality education for all Americans, end racist and sexist practices in government, halt and prosecute republican crimes and trump era scumbag crimes which often overlap. Biden also has a mandate to squash terrorism by government agencies and victims of right wing violent propaganda. He has a mandate to realign our foreign policy and immigration policy to reflect our values so they are no longer driven by cracker fear, cruelty, and insecurity.

Fortunately Biden is getting help from some important local officials already. It’s a good sign that he will ultimately succeed.

Pa. Supreme Court rejects Trump campaign claim that Republicans lacked access to Philly vote count

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Republican monitors observing vote counting in Philadelphia were given sufficient access under state law to view the proceedings.

In a 5-2 decision, the court overturned a lower court decision that ordered monitors with President Donald Trump’s campaign be allowed within six feet of tables where ballots were being tallied.

“We conclude the board did not act contrary to the law in fashioning its regulations governing the positioning of candidate representatives,” Justice Debra Todd wrote for the majority. “Critically, we find the board’s regulations … were reasonable.”


...Trump observers complained that in Philadelphia they were originally positioned between 13 feet and up to 100 feet away from counting tables and, therefore, couldn’t meaningfully see ballots as they were counted.

Lawyers for the city argued that despite claims to the contrary, GOP monitors were allowed in the room from the start and were subject to the same restrictions also applied to Democratic monitors. State law only requires that monitors be allowed in the counting rooms, they said, and makes no mention of how close counties must allow observers to get to the counting itself.

To raise your taxes.
LOL!
Only if any tax hike is agreeable to the GOP.
Maybe you missed some key takeaways from the election.
Democrats won the aggregate 2018 midterms in the House by 7 points. They lost half that margin this year. Instead of Pelosi’s promised double digit gain her party could LOSE 14 seats. Pelosi’s caucus lead is so fragile she is telling Biden not to tap democrat legislators for administration jobs. They owe their prob­lems ,according to CNN exit polls, to as­so­ci­ations with a range of un­pop­u­lar is­sues from de­fund­ing the po­lice to rais­ing taxes, end­ing frack­ing and open­ing up bor­ders.
And if the Georgia run-off elections don’t deliver two Senate seats to the Dems then Mitch McConnell will have a lot to say about any tax hike that will pass Senate muster.
