I’m also thinking about how Jen O’Malley Dillon was hired as campaign manager on...March 12th. Damn. This was a campaign like no other and Biden still won despite the covid challenges.

[lilac05]

I like to think of this Four Seasons nonsense as someone on the campaign team who at some point became disenfranchised and pulled this stunt figuring they were out of a job anyway!

Also...it’s a LANDSCAPING company. Couldn’t they have at least pulled a decorative tree or plant or garden gnome out for decoration?

I just finished rewatching the DNC roll call and I’m bawling.

That feels like a lifetime ago.

Was that from this election?! 😂

Why is there football? I went SNL

[vamoose]

I’m really curious whether the comically ridiculous press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping will improve or torpedo their landscaping business.

Correct we are all drunk.

Macho man.

I think I know what’s probably behind Kushner’s push to concede. If Trump doesn’t, it could be only the second time in history that the U.S. loses its AAA credit rating (which happened once before during the financial crisis, in 2011.) At least one major credit rating agency has warned of a downgrade if Trump refuses to leave.

That would mean that interest rates would likely go up and it would cause a shock through the financial markets (other countries feel safe holding U.S. debt precisely because we have a peaceful transition of power.)

So basically his rich friends aren’t going to be happy if Trump lets this drag on.

I think very little of Trump, but I do wonder if he’s enough of a narcissist to burn down the entire economy out of spite.

You HAVE to check out Spitting Image on Youtube (It's a revival of the 80s show from the UK). It's puppets of the world leaders and other famous people. You will laugh so much, and I'm sure now that Cheeto has lost, it will be even better.

OMG he absolutely is!

I think it's a matter if his handlers/adult children with their eyes on the future are able to talk him down.

Likely. And he will blame it on Biden/Dems cheating.

Unlike Don Jr, Kushner isn’t stupid. He sees the true writing on the walls and knows that there’s no widespread election fraud. Getting Trump to concede peacefully preserves their family name and increases their chances of one of them running in 2024. 

Not all Republicans are willing to admit that they think so little of our democracy and voting system that they’re willing to go all the way down for him. If all of this was riding on Georgia, a typically red state that Biden won by a very slim margin, that would be one thing...but multiple states with thousands of votes is another.

I am so here for all of this! Today is a great day!

And where’s the best place to buy some Harris merch?

I just bought this in the vintage Royal Tri Blend Blue - can't wait to get it!!!!

They also have a shirt that simply says I'm Speaking :-P Tempted to add it to my cart!

[basilosaurus]

An early birthday present! I'll be 40 on Wednesday, and new lockdown starts tomorrow for the next month. We've been used to dining in, not because we're assholes, but the last case locally was early April. So I'm at dinner, alone but I don't mind that at all, and they're running a special on prosecco. Yes, please!

DAMMIT. I've been wearing Kamala Harris for the People all day. I have the neon Adios Trump from his campaign when he ended it, and an 8645. I've been celebrating all wrong! (but all right, too!) Looks like I'm spending tomorrow in layers. lol.

[bears]

I want some timelines:
-when Kimberly Guilfoyle breaks up with Don Jr, seeking greener pastures
-when Javanka are shunned from a NYC party
-when Kayleigh gets a job on Fox News

Maybe we should just be thankful they didn’t borrow urns and dildos as decor from the neighboring businesses?

Not sure where to put this, but I have to share

It's located in the only semi-Trumpy part of Philly, so probably improve.

So... my dad has pretty much refused to talk politics with me since his mother died and he came out as a Republican who voted for George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney, and who followed Glenn Beck.

HOWEVER he did tell my brother in the last year or so that he did not vote for Trump. I'm 100% sure he didn't vote for Hillary, but he might have left president blank or voted for Gary Johnson or whatever, which is fine, he lives in NY.

But then yesterday, his fiancee posted a video of them cracking open champagne after the election was called! And recently she's been posting about how it's nuts that there are people who don't think all the votes need to be counted, because that's not Democracy.

Anyway, it means a lot to me.

Lauren Underwood WON!!

[eport]

I haven't seen it called yet, but heard this morning she is up by about 600 votes

Sent from my SM-G930V using proboards

[scout8]

I am seeing that Underwood is behind by 600 votes according to the AP. NYT has her ahead, but the results seem behind. Where are people seeing that she won?

My Republican aunt and uncle voted for Biden. I was floored by how thrilled my aunt was yesterday; she calls Trump the orange monster. I know he got a lot of votes but you've got to love the wins. My mom (imagine Emily Gilmore but less in touch with her feelings, lol) had also been a Republican until the early 2000s and I think she'd gladly kick Trump right in the balls if she could.

OMG, you should check out the Yelp reviews people have been leaving (if they haven’t been deleted yet.) Pure gold.

So far my favorite is: “This place is a hotbed of coronavirus super-spreaders” 😂

[redheadbaker]

This is HILARIOUS. Twitter account belongs to a photojournalist with Defector Media.

Wasn't allowed into the Four Seasons press conference, so he went next door and interviewed the owner of Fantasy Island. Caption: "Since I couldn’t get in to the Trump press conference, I went to Fantasy Island next door. Zarif Jacob, an ex-architect, could not fathom why the presser was near his shop—or even happening. “He lost. He knows he lost.” Also, people were taking up the spaces in his parking lot."
