Tbh while I'm happy, I'm not ready to celebrate. Trump is not going to take this lying down and he stacked the supreme court for exactly this situation. On top there is a very real danger of violence and protests in the wake of this. Unfortunately it is not over.

I'd worry far less about the supreme court most legal followers of it don't think it's going to make up anything without evidence that doesn't exist. There's a reason he's ****** at his legal team.

But that because he's use to bullying people into settling or being undresourced rather than actual winning in court.


The violence we shall see.

If republicans hadn't (Well very likely to win now TBH) performed in the senate, I feel the DOP might have been a lot more active in ****.

But with them most likely getting the senate and how quiet they are I think it says all you need to know about Trumps chances of overturning this.

Aye,
It showed that the people are happy with republicans just not trump - as far as losing goes it's the best version of it for them.
If they can replace Trump with someone more reasonable, and not Don Jr/Tucker Carlson/whoever then they could make strides.
Wonder if Ted Cruz will run again - he's become a lot more popular since throwing his wife and father under a bus and sucking up to trump for the last four years.

Trump is out playing golf and was when he had to be told rather unsurprisingly.

Reading that AP have also called Nevada for Biden. And projected to win 306; same as Trump in 2016 who called his a landslide win at the time. But Biden will also win popular vote.

He'll also win the popular vote by miles. He's already about 4 million ahead with 8% of ballots still to count most of which are mail in.

Hell, most of which are California and New York mail-in!

Yeh will be interesting to see where final tally of votes ends up as that'll reinforce the win.

Trump will still cry all those extra he lost by votes were illegal though. Like he did for Hilary's 3 million.

Next weekend's #1?

the best way to put it is that it feels like every city (except for Dallas, **** you Dallas) just won the super bowl

I'm always surprised how recently the civil rights movement was.
When Kamala Harris was born, people of colour weren't allowed to vote

It's a bit like for my generation knowing I was taught at school under section 28. It's seams almost madness that was only repealed in 2003 (when I started University).

As much as America likes to portray itself as the world leader in liberty, democracy, freedom etc... the reality is it is still a very conservative and prejudiced country. There are huge swathes of America where racism is not prevalent, but open and unapologetic. Fundamentalist Christians and Evangelicals still try to use Christianity to justify their intolerant points of views. For me America represents all that is wrong with capitalism, liberalism and democracy. Everything is about greed and power. Almost none of it is about what is best for the country and the people. Those in power want to grab their slice and everyone else below fights for the scraps. If we are to move forward towards a sustainable, democratic future as a species then America will not be the answer.

Sound like we might get a peaceful transition at least politically.

Emmm... So this Dick Cheney rumour better be either a lie or a joke.

Anyone been watching CNN all day who could verify? Hahah
