Not to mention that Biden's lead in Georgia's risen to a little over 10,000 by now - I would be extremely surprised if somehow Trump still manages to make up that deficit at this point. Even if Arizona does end up red, Biden will almost certainly get 295 electoral votes altogether. That's a convincing electoral victory (not to mention that he's up by over 4 million votes nationwide).

Sadly, given the plague, I think it's probably a safe bet that Biden will have a smaller inauguration crowd than Trump did, and we won't loving ever hear the end of that.

It seems crazy to imagine now but you remember how before Trump, nobody even considered "inauguration crowd size" as a thing to think about ever?

That whole poo poo just came out of left field and we all suddenly had to deal with one man's crazy narcissistic obsessions until they became OUR obsessions even if all we wanted to do was refute them

When Trump was elected, even though I was very unhappy about it, I actually thought there was a good chance that he'd just enjoy the fact that he was elected and the most famous/powerful guy in the world, let a bunch of bog standard Bush type GOP bureaucrats run things while he enjoyed black tie state dinners, and the limelight but wouldn't try to really run or do much of anything beyond bog standard GOP tax lowering and deregulation and not push hard on "kill all immigrants" because it already got him elected.

Then day 1 of his presidency here's Sean Spicer spitting out Trump grievances about the Inauguration crowd size thing and that was like a cold glass of water in the face, like what the gently caress, THIS is your priority? But also, literally gaslighting away obvious objective truth.

Right after that first Sean Spicer presser, I had dinner with my friend who had mostly voted GOP but has voted for both parties, but saw Trump as a problem and voted third party. I expressed my alarm about the signs this gaslighting and petty vindictiveness about the crowd sizes was showing us, and he kind of pooh poohed it and said that the structure and institutions of the US government would be strong enough to withstand even a would be dictator. Since then he's super alarmed and rabidly anti Trump. Unfortunately until he's actually out of the White House, physically, and Biden is sworn in, we're not done with him. And we may not be done with his worst supporters for years longer if ever.

I'm seriously obsessed with this whole Four Seasons fiasco and can't stop thinking about it. Every logical explanation I can come up with makes sense from a certain standpoint, but all of them are for the dumbest reasons imaginable. I need to know WHICH dumb reason is the reason.

They said something about logistics and geographic proximity to highway exits and I'll buy that. Makes some sense. No way they'd want to hold it at the FS hotel since it's dead in the middle of center city Philadelphia, one block from city hall, where Biden voters are celebrating and out in force. But, still, there had to have been at least 10 other places right there in that industrial park alone that were better choices from an optics standpoint at a bare minimum.

It can't possibly be a coincidence that the business' name is Four Seasons though. It's one of the most bizarre things I've seen in a while.

The owner looks to be an Hispanic woman who's a member of a minority owned business group in Philly and nothing really jumps out about her being a crazy Q person or anything with a casual glance at the company's FB and website. I didn't dig really deep.

I'm convinced they really did mean to do it at the hotel and just called this place by mistake and she was like uh yeah sure it'll be $$$$ amount of money in advance"


The entire thing has basically made my month I'm going to be laughing about this for a looong time. What an absolutely perfect way to end these particular folks' presidential campaign.

Speed raceway and axe throwing is such a weird business name that I did a little digging and it has filled me with delight. They have a quote on their page from a Mike L that says, "The adrenaline of Axe Throwing is the perfect compliment to high speed go kart racing." They will also accomodate your desire to have a sith dinner party.



And what are they serving?



Yes I know they are set up for catering from other places shut up

Anyway it looks like a good time, I would like to throw axes and drive go karts and that will be all the sweeter now that the orange gently caress is a bigass loser.

Hey, I'm from Brooklyn. I'm going to call myself Mr. Friendly.

Why are they even bothering? It doesn’t matter if Trump concedes, everyone has moved on and accepted Biden as the winner. He was never going to cooperate with the transition. He was never even going to be around for Biden’s inauguration.

These story’s of Trumps inner circle just reek of toadies trying to say they did the bare minimum after the fact. gently caress them all, they made their bed.

I've always assumed the only reason Trump doesn't drink (or at least says he doesn't) is because his Brother had an alcohol problem and Donny wanted to be able to use that against him when vying for Daddy's approval..

Everything the Trumps do is either part of an underhanded scheme, done out of sheer spite, or both.

I’ve heard reports he has been seen to drink albeit not to excess. The whole thing about him never touching a drop is, surprise, an exaggeration.

Lawfare has a good article on it but most media companies have quietly worked to limit obvious disinformation.

Google in particular has worked hard to remove an exploit where when a new “fake news” story appears that all traffic gets driven to a few sights set up ahead of time to exploit that information void.

Think of the fake local newspaper website in 2016 that had a story of Hillary killing a deputy. There was no such thing so when anyone googled for information they got realish looking websites amplifying the story. That doesn’t work as well anymore.

Apparently YouTube and tiktok are still not good at this so expect misinformation to come through those outlets more than others.

Does this mean Chrome has stopped recommending RT articles? I used to get almost exclusively "news" articles from RT recommendations when I opened a blank tab in my phone's browser.

No. He can tweet it, then later he can claim whatever he wants. "They took my account from me after the announced Biden." He will never give video of him conceding. Again, if he concedes.
