Ha. I’m watching the game.
I’ve pulled for Clemson and Notre Dame both since I was a child, so this has been a very conflicting past few hours for me.

As a USC fan (the real USC, not that shitty one down by you) I do not condone this.
the equivalent of a poli sci degree
In other news: Ivanka has been approached by her father about filing for a divorce from Jared Kushner.
What can I say? I went to the same high school as Tony Rice...
feck him, he broke a little WI_Red's heart in 88. I barely remember anything other than it may have been the first time sports made me cry.
Biden sounds like a preacher in pulpit, but he has more charisma than Kamala. Good speech by both of them though.
I'm sure the calls for unity will fall on deaf ears, but hopefully the senate can work together (though I doubt that too). With the 2022 elections, a GOP senate would do everything to derail Biden presidency. Winning both Georgia senate seats is of paramount priority now!
He might be tempted to go down Trump route and get 'acting' cabinet members and sign executive orders to get things done.

I don't think he will, but he should at least use it as a threat (assuming we don't get those sweet sweet GA seats). Trump was allowed to use acting cabinet members for almost 3 years and his party controlled the Senate. If Mitch tried to make a scene he would have little to stand on, although integrity has never been one of McTurtle's qualities.
Do I have terrible taste for thinking Kaitlan Collins is rather cute?
@WI_Red Keep these ragamuffins away from my scotch!

Absolutely not, she is my CNN fave.
You know, there IS a way to get me to stop discussing this
Seriously, how good is it? I remember it being amazing.
Those eyes and eyebrows....meh!
that smirk though.....
I didn't think I would enjoy this as much. Centrist/IDW Twitter is having a proper meltdown over this, but one that's disguised as a series of nuanced intellectual takes. It's actually hilarious.
Its even so weird to see the word 'integrity' and McTurtle in the same sentence.
She apparently worked to mitigate online bullying believe it or not. And that's not ironic at all.
Ah, I see what you're saying. I get that to a degree, but Biden seems very traditional to me too. He ticks all the same traditional boxes of married, white, Christian, male for starters. I appreciate he doesn't signal to the religious folks as often, but I can't see why he'd put off the religious folks? It wouldn't be hard to argue that Biden lives his life more in accordance with Christian values than Trump, and he speaks often about his Catholic roots. His upbringing too would be much more traditional than Trump's. And while there's issues that Trump is more aligned with them on, surely there's an equal number that Biden is more aligned with them than Trump on? Looking at how he lives and what he stands for, I struggle to see many areas where Trump is better placed on a values judgment.
Which sort of brings you back to xenophobia and abortion as the things that seem to override most parts of the argument about who would best protect traditional values.

Abby Phillips is where it’s at.
Hear, hear.
I'm sure Jared can broker a peace deal, must be a walk in the park after dealing with the middle east
He got a good deal with 4 seasons landscaping!
Is there any realistic chance of smooth transition on January 20, or is it more likely Trump will barricade himself in the White House and refuse to concede?
Surely Republicans at some point will distance themselves from the man?

Even if he doesn't end up in jail, as a businessman, he's fecked.
My guess is he will never acknowledge defeat and always say it was rigged, but don’t think it’d quite get to the point of him being forcefully removed from the White House. It won’t be a peaceful transition and he will fight in the courts and even if the courts rule against him he still won’t accept it though.
Oh imagine him going bankrupt and then removing the word “Trump” from all of his skyscrapers.
Can you imagine Trump doing what Obama did and greeting the president elect on his inauguration and having lunch with him? Isn’t this a tradition of some sorts from an outgoing president to the incumbent?
i'm starting to increasingly believe Pence is about to become President.
And the good vibes keep coming, GA lead for Biden is now 10,195.
There's also a traditional dinner where it's like a comedy Central roast style, it's where Obama insulted Trump so much he went to undo everything Obama did, I can't imagine he'll be attending.
That recount is going to be meaningless at this point.
I hope he accuses Georgia's fully Republican leadership of stealing the election from him though.
That was the White House press Corps dinner which is seperate to the inauguration stuff. That happens every year I believe.
That would be the white house correspondents dinner. Trump didn't do any of those during his term
