And that’s the exact reason the majority of the country is breathing a massive sigh of relief right now.

I can only speak for myself but i kind of viewed it as a throwaway line, of sorts. She chose to be unfaithful. Some people don't take that lightly and while it's her's and his personal business, it does speak to her character, so i just saw it as tit for tat. Not that big of a deal. This is my only thought on the matter so i won't keep it going but i would expect and respect your reply. 

Back on topic. As much as i'm not a fan of career politicians, i do expect things to calm down a bit as far as the current social outrage goes and it should be good to finally get some people in positions that are more deserving and able to (hopefully) get jobs done moreso than focusing on nepotism and how unqualified someone is. I just hope we're not about to go back to $4 a gallon of gas and higher interest rates because i'm still planning on selling the house and moving to Florida in the next 2-4 years. 

Well that's because you missed the strong defense of the new SCJ when some DARED call her a handmaiden or something.  It was deemed AWFULLY sexist and something that should be frowned upon.  However saying someone got whey they are on her knees is totally cool with them.

Biden knows how things work.  He will adhere more to the norms that Trump didn't like/understand which will help everything move smoother.  I'd hope America learned is lesson with the cult of personality election of Trump but from what I've seen this week it might take a while for that to sink in.

But Harris really isn't likable. She bombed early in the primaries. She's only a name because of the Kavanaugh hearings. 

They need to prop up a younger moderate. 

Millions of people disagree with you.

Republicans don't like her.

Most likely why she did so good in the Democratic primaries.

That doesn't mean she is "unlikeable". 

Millions still like her.

Maybe because who think she's a ho it affects your perception of her?

They liked every Democratic candidate better than her.

No matter how hard you try you cannot make it because I'm sexist. But I think we've all seen why you're allowed to try.

The Trump campaign is asking for donations so he can fight the results.

However up to 50% will go toward Trump's campaign debt.

He ran his campaign like he ran his business...as a losing business with hopes for a bailout at the end.

50% of each contribution, up to a maximum of $2,800 ($5,000), to be designated toward DJTFP’s 2020 general election account for general election debt retirement until such debt is retired.

Biden met with Pence on November 10th to start the transition process for the Trump admin. This idea that anyone ever waits until certification of results is a complete joke and you won't find one Republican who was demanding everyone wait to declare Trump the winner in 2016.

On the hyperbolic side of things, did god die the day PA was called for Biden or will god die the day Biden does his old man jog into the WH?

I think it died Sunday while Biden was at mass and Trump was golfing.

I do. 

The Trump defenders cannot admit being wrong.  Period.

I've seen protestors on the streets being asked what it would take for them to accept this election and they said something along the lines of when Trump tells us to.  Or it was more like I'll believe it when I hear Trump say it, in regards to it being legit that Biden won.

So they'll admit they are wrong when Trump admits he is wrong which so far has been never, I think.

I don't know about "god", but apparently, COVID is gone so there's that.

I didn't realize this until Saturday; Biden is Catholic, pretty proud and strong-practicing one as well.

So where TF did the whole, "Kill the Bible," shtick, come from?

Yeah, evangelicals and some other Protestants don't exactly look fondly on Catholics.

Good morning from Nevada, where Joe Biden keeps extending his lead. It is now larger than Hillary Clinton's win in NV. Biden is up by 34,000 votes and 2.5 points. It's really not that close, and his lead could reach 3 points-plus. ICYMI, Sheldon Adelson has a message for POTUS: pic.twitter.com/wRCtbb9bmq

Trump is still president for 71 days, but hey I'm sure he will gladly put aside his personal agenda and focus on the well-being of this country for the next 2 months and change, right?

I don't know if you've heard, but there's supposedly a vaccine that is 90% effective and should be ready for distribution around January. I'd say we should give kudos to Trump but I know how many people can't give the man credit for ANYTHING, soooooooooooooo ....
