Election Night (+4) in America - Result: Biden Elected President (8 Viewers)

[GrandAdmiral]

I'll probably be flipping between CNN, NBC, and probably PBS if they have coverage.

What station you got?

 

[gummbo]

Yeah, I saw that. He said it's gonna take some getting used to.

Not for us it won’t, I called him President Biden on Monday the day before the election

 

[LA - L.A.]

Someone in my work chat said CBS reported Trump was told during his golf game? Please be true.

I'm getting images of the famous Hitler scene from Downfall playing out with Trump on a golf course.

I will admit I'm a little sad though. We won't get to see @Saint by the Bay celebrate with champagne in his neighborhood.

Damn you, Texas.

Time to update the thread title?

Naw, I think it will take a lot longer. Not just policy, the environment, executive orders etc, but the rampant explosion of nationalist, far right, Q-people, all of that bullshirt that trump stirred up. Theres an argument that it was there all along, but I feel like trump was like lighter-fluid to a smouldering fire

The difference with right-wing white supremacy is that Trump was not a cause, but a symptom. It's been there all along and Trump just gave them reason to come out from under their rocks. The policy stuff can be reversed in short order.

20 years to get back to where we were before is my prediction.

Fake arse liberal media.

 

[Neworleansfan]

It’s a landslide both EC and popular votes.

 

[wardorican]

Glad to see there is enough data out there to make the call. Glad the AP, Fox, CNN, etc all eventually made the call.

Let's remember, it's not official until each State Certifies their elections. That will either be in the next week or month. It's done, but not done.

The news doesn't elect anyone.

The real work is to stop the spread of misinformation. The bunk claims of more voters than what was eligible, poll watching not there or no access (vs wanting better access), late ballots, etc. Let's make the truth our ally, whatever it may be. Remember official sources of information, actual court orders, and other verifiable pieces of information. I fully expect a full court press of disinformation to try to keep shaking institutional confidence. I've already seen a bit of it, and as usual, it resonates with us, because many have a natural inclination to distrust government.

Anyway, congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Our first ever Female VP.

Must not gloat, must not gloat... Must not rejoin Facebook....

The meltdown will be glorious!

Seriously, what happened to Trump's Four Seasons Total Landscaping presser?!

 

[Mr. Blue Sky]

I cant wait to see the MAGA tears a couple years into Joe’s first term when he turns 80 years old and hands the reins to KAMALA.. i liked her more in the beginning anyway, and she is exactly the kind of no-nonsense, former prosecutor, PITBULL that we need in the White House.

 

[saintmdterps]

The meltdown will be glorious!

And every day brings us another day closer to the firings of Billy Barr, Betsy DeVos, and the rest of the Trump cabinet

 

[Sledge Hammer]

Let's keep the conversation somewhat elevated please. Joy or disappointment is expected. Let's keep it classy.

Remember, you are responsible for whatever is in a graphic. Edit it if it has anything objectionable.
