If I grew 12 inch sideburns and combed them into the back of my head and pasted them down, literally everyone I met would be like "the gently caress is up with your hair?"

It's seriously Flock of Seagulls poo poo. I mean I know he sucks at understanding leadership on all levels and has no knowledge of basic governmental functions and that's more important.. well that's moot now. Why the gently caress does he have footlong sideburns?

schumer and co are also talking about an EO canceling student debt AND 15 buck hour stuff. probably more too. I think AOC and others will keep a fire under their asses plus other stuff. id like to believe biden can at least try to pull an LBJ with domestic poo poo.

Talking's doing a lot of work here. I'll believe it when I see it. There's a reason student loan debt is in the situation it is in the first place and that's because most of the people in power don't have to deal with it so they don't give a poo poo. There's no way a bunch of oxygenarians are going to be blow their freshly minted political capital on a bunch of college kids.

When you are rich and powerful you can to surround yourself with yes men. Anyone willing to speak truth to power gets weeded out early. Also his narcissism prevents him from acknowledging any sort of personal fault or weakness. And he certainly sees baldness as one.

I grew up not far from here (before they put in the ball pit). At the time, it was all poor/lower-middle, white and mostly not-Italian people. My neighbors were all union guys, city workers, or both. Almost adult I ever heard discuss politics hated Reagan for the very real and visible results of his policies. Same thing for Bush. On the other hand, they were all horribly racist, and voted for Frank Rizzo as a write-in for mayor up through this century (Rizzo died in '91).

What I'm getting at is part of me is blown away they could find a friendly venue there, but another part of me is blown away they couldn't find a *better* venue. Friggin' Tacony?! Where's that tweet about Republicans making blue-collar workers somehow turn and hate the people and policies that will actually help them?

Unfortunately the single best source of these, campaign "victory" parties gone bad, we're denied this year because of the election dragging out over an entire week.

I'm sure various cell phone video of chud meltdowns in various settings will appear over time, though.

In the meantime, enjoy an oldie but goodie! Still relevant because Sarah Palin was the first true chud politician of the current era, and kicked the door wide open for Trumpie to get elected:

don’t think they realize this, but they need to. I am a young, first time voter and without Trump, I would’ve never even considered voting republican. I went from not paying much attention to politics and thinking republicans were a bunch of bureaucrats, to being a proud American patriot and even donated to Trump’s campaign.
If they do not back Trump now I can never see myself voting for or backing the republican party ever again, save for a few lions like Ted Cruz. They need to understand this clearly and act now before they lose their supporters.


About that whole "just wait till the boomers die and Democrats will win every election", yeahhhh.

The last two elections have been a stark reminder that non-college educated white males are a demographic that is particularly susceptible to right-wing populism. Democrats need to prioritize expanding access to college and getting tuition costs under control before we end up supplying the opposition with an entire new generation of recruits.

Does anyone know of any historical instances with large periods of time between the president elect giving an acceptance speech and their opponent conceding? It seems like in all the elections I remember it's been the same day. Then again I guess this is the first election since 2000 that has taken more than a day to decide.

Usually the loser concedes before the winner gives their victory speech. For reasons that should be obvious.

Trump had several hours today but yeah that was never going to happen.

It makes sense to me if the winner has given the loser a little time, but no concession, that they should go ahead and give their victory speech. It seems gracious and good manners to wait for the concession, but if there is every appearance that there is no concession coming there is no reason to wait further, the winner does not NEED the loser to concede.

In the 2012 election Romney was pretty loving slow to concede, I think it was past midnight when Obama gave his victory speech. I think Romney expected to win and took some time to internalize and accept the result.

In the Alabama special Senate election, Roy Moore never did concede to Doug Jones.

The case of this Presidential election is thorny because the loser is the incumbent President and has to actually vacate the White House for Biden to occupy it. Of course there are all kinds of possibilities like Biden starting operations elsewhere and the power and water being cut off at the White House, but there's no reason to tolerate Trump being there one minute past the Inauguration. I'm hoping and assuming that Biden has a contingency plan worked out for if Trump chooses to squat the White House and force a confrontation and his forced removal. I'm worried about stuff like armed chuds congregating at the White House to protect their king.

True. I'm going to try, as an exercise, when I'm awake and sober later, to gin up a quick Presidential race concession speech in under an hour. I'll post the results here and you goons can tell me what you think of it, in case I actually have occasion to use it in the future.
