Oh god I can't wait, personally i'm thinking we aren't going to be seeing or hearing from him for a couple of days at least as his staff tries to calm him down.

Rudy Giuliani is not gonna be one of those. I bit the bullet and got a KlowdTV account just so I could see the goobers on One America News Network have a meltdown, and he's ranting about dead people voting and how they're going to take everything to the Supreme Court. He's also alleging the fraud specifically happened in Democratic counties only.

Imagine if 9/11 never happened, and this clown just faded from the spotlight as an unpopular New York City mayor.

A victory for the enlightenment and a defeat for base tribalism. The dark shadow has passed over the U.S.

I never really thought he would win a second term, but I don't think the U.S. would have survived it either. He would have torn your social frabric apart, and let COVID spread rampant amongst your grandparents.

The great thing this election proved, at least for now...it's hard to impossible, and unstable to plan a campaign with the intention to not even try for the Popular Vote. Trump went into 2020 not even trying to win the popular vote which his 2016 campaign despite his extremism did make some kind of play for at least, as did McCain and Romney and W.

An Electoral Vote campaign without any attempt to appeal to a popular base is a loser's proposition. The GOP know for a fact that their maximized base cannot beat the full Dem maximized base electorally and popularly even with all the attempts to put thumbs on the scale.

Oh man. I heard people outside cheering and yelling. Didn’t know what the hell was going on. I checked my phone and then a grown man shed tears of joy.

Lol..New York has gone into carnival mode.

I think I’ll do some celebrating myself.

Maybe at some point in the near future a new, post-trump, politics thread should be set up

2020 has a good ending finally

2020 has a good ending finally

2020 isn't over. Trump is sill the president. Covid is still fucking decimating shit everywhere. The Senate is undecided. Things are still fucking awful everywhere.

I don't want to be a ruiner, but...

2020 has a good ending finally

As this is a comic book site, it feels appropriate to think on the last panel of Busiek's "The Dark Age," answering when the brothers are asked "how did you know when it was getting better," with an image of The Samaritan rescuing the space shuttle Challenger.

Hyperbolic I know, but it's a hell of a good day.

I can only say this in songs



Finally, Trump is gone.
