RESULTS thread

[goldengirlz]

I’m amused that so many people are only now discovering Philly.

If you love the Northeast corridor urban lifestyle, and don’t want to pay NY, Boston or DC prices, Philly is the place for you!

Also, eat at Zahav and thank me later.

As thrilled as I am over the way the race is shaping up, I feel equally happy for Mark Kelley

I've been awake today for 1 year already.

I'm really starting to believe now. I can't believe this nightmare is over. I still remember the sense of dread waking up in 2016 and then remembering that it was only for 4 years. Well 4 years is here.

I feel the same way! I’m in shock and have been happily crying off and on all day. I am so glad the nightmare is coming to an end!!

SOMEBODY CALL SOMETHING, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S HOLY.

I'm picturing a group text of people trying to get someone, anyone else to make the call first.

I have this image in my head.

Pennsylvania and Georgia: Nevada! Get off your ass and finish the election.

Nevada: I'm getting to it....

Pennsylvania and Georgia stand there tapping their feet for a moment.

"Forget it! We'll do it ourselves!"
As they storm off.

It’s such a joy to see this thread go from anxious to hopeful to ecstatic. Such the opposite of 2016. 💙

MSNBC finally called it for Mark Kelly.

I would like to know this too.

I heard them say yesterday on I think NBC that it just takes so long to bring everything to the counting location since everything is so far away. And then they don’t have as many people to count.

Yes. A lot of mail in due to remote locations you can only reach by plane and then wherever they count the votes can only be reached by plane or boat so all ballots have to be transported there.

I saw you post and got so excited!  This is great news but I was hoping for something else, lol!

[taratru]

I keep imagining they are making sure there are safety plans in place before calling anything, as depressing as that is.

Is Kamala Harris still in Delaware with Joe Biden?

I hope not. I don't trust trumpets not to go after them if they are together when it's called. Safer to be separate.

[bimbi284]

Biden planning to give a speech during prime time tonight.

The rational part of me knows this is the right thing to do.  But damn...

Jake Tapper just referred to Trump's "spawn."

lol

The FAA has set up a temporary flight restriction over Joe Biden. This is common for the President/ Presidents-elect but not for candidates.

Yes. PDQ I work with a member of {redacted} political family who has had front row tickets to this show before and they don't do this unless you have the full belief of the military that you're the president-elect. When I saw this announcement I had legit chills down my spine. 

[babsbunny]

I hope they drag it out so trumpers get more and more deflated. As soon as someone calls it, they will be reenergized, and dangerous.

Agreed and I actually find a lot of comfort in that.  They are going to wait until there is a safety plan in place and hopefully someone is able to keep Trump in check.

Agreed.  I have suspected this for the last day or two, that they are being exceptionally cautious because of the volatile and litigious nature of Trump and his team.  They have to be.  It's been agonizing, but I appreciate that they appear to b e leaving absolutely no opening through which the legitimacy of the results can be questioned or overturned.

LMAO!  It is going to be so much fun watching the gloves come off and the GOP rats deserting the ship.

I saw a Tweet that said something like:

From the year that brought you six months of April, here’s Tuesday, Part 3

Well Biden is going to be speaking prime time tonight so it better be before then!
