I've been searching high and low for Doug Emhoff's secret service call sign but I can't find anything yet. Kamala is officially "Pioneer" so it'll likely begin with a "P". Have any of y'all seen anything yet?
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?

No idea but from all of my friends on sm there's a big push for mensch, lol. Which basically translates to one hell of a guy in Yiddish.

They tweeted out a pic of a “Gore Wins” front page from The Washington Times from 2000 with a snarky comment about how the media doesn’t get to choose the president.
Except The Washington Times replies that they never ran such a headline and the front page that the Trump campaign is spreading is a fake.
Plus the first paragraph of the doctored Gore article clearly says that Bush was declared the winner.
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.
Oh, this is interesting. If interest rates go up, debt service payments go up. You know, like if just for example, you have >$1billion in loans where “about half ... is secured by assets the president and his children own outright.”
"Hung up on me when I called to ask about their special 'we will build a wall & have Mexico pay for it.' Seriously where is a gal to find a honest racist landscaper?"
I saw Joe went to church this AM. But nothing much else. I hope this means Joe and Kamala are having the best Sunday dinners with their loved ones to celebrate. I hope they are getting a bit of a break. And all the staffers as well.
A Trump appointee is refusing to sign a letter allowing Biden’s transition team to begin its work this week, another sign the incumbent president hasn’t acknowledged Biden’s win and could disrupt transfer of power.
So he’s just gonna finish his presidency by making more people sick
brandish obituaries of the 230,000 humans we have lost to COVID instead, you sociopathic fuck
Right?!
This story went around my cancer twitter buds awhile back. 20 year old submits absentee ballot while in hospital. So happy to vote. Then dies and vote doesn’t count. Makes me think of the 230,000+ people who dies before the election.
probably an @ tag because it talks with her mom, so family @s

Wouldn’t it be great if Biden found some absolutely iron-clad grounds to elevate this to the Supreme Court and Trumps own appointees were forced to rule against him because of the obvious legalitarian merit?
