> A stack of messages from foreign leaders to Joe Biden are sitting at the State Department but the Trump administration is preventing him from accessing them, according to State Department officials familiar with the messages

@TimStone Your government is run by children. Luckily they'll be gone in 2 months.

@Wipqozn assuming things go the way we expect them to

Pompeo was just saying they were going to have a smooth transition into a 2nd Trump Presidency

sorta ominous even if they are lying screw-ups

Oh wow, Newsmax went in a different direction and is now suggesting Trump "retire" and make Mike Pence handle the transition

Extreme "my work here is done" energy

Can't believe I have to agree with Newsmax on the premise, that would be incredibly funny

Has anyone seen stats on a by-state breakdown of mail-in ballot Biden/Trump ratios? I'm real curious but can't seem to find them

Someone just claimed to me that PA has unrealistic ratios and I wanted to see how it compare to other states

I'm not sure if that information is directly public, though I guess you could try and figure it out for states that gave sufficient information about when they were counting?

> US ambassador to Denmark @CarlaHSands claimed her vote wasn’t counted in the presidential race because she couldn’t find evidence of it on Pennsylvania’s election website. So we found it for her

lol

> Absolute bombshell of a report from The Courier Journal: LMPD hid almost 750,000 records documenting the sexual abuse of minors by Louisville police officers, and then lied to keep the files from the public

jfc

@Sterno Here are the main-in ballots returned by party affiliation, which isn't sufficient to answer the question but suggests a heavy skew just makes sense

> Panic buying? DON'T. Tonight at 11, @nydia_han talks to supply chain experts about what you need to consider before you go on a spending spree and why there is no need to overstock supplies

At first I thought this was a really bad political take but then I remembered we're in the middle of a severely worsening pandemic and it made more sense

The ambassador bar has been so low that I wonder why Trump hasn't made very Apprentice participant an ambassador to somewhere

Wasserman: I've seen enough. No path back for Trump in AZ.

My house is built out of toilet paper. I WILL NEVER BE WITHOUT AGAIN

(not really though)

Utah police arrest man driving 130 mph claiming he was going to kill former Missouri senator, Claire McCaskill (D)

I think when you are caught driving that fast; they can charge you with some pretty heavy duty intensions.

why'd you pull me over, I'm not discussing my day, am I being cited or detained, or am I free to go, (if detained) I invoke my right to remain silent and will not answer any questions without an attorney

like come on you literally do not have to tell the cop that you plan to cross state lines to kill a former senator

The kind of people who drive 130 mph to go kill someone probably aren't the kind of people rational enough to keep that intention to themselves

@TimStone Karl Rove is the voice of reason. My god.

> Stahl stated that he was on Adderall and LSD and beer

I mean, that probably helped

He was drugged out also.

Those were the days of muscle cars that could cruise at 130 mph.

Time to see if Trump tweeted any more batshit stuff before I go to bed

LOL of course he did

The only legal votes were the ones for him

Sleep well.

@TimStone i feel that the reason to do this is knowing Trump has lost and to get himself immunity from prosecution when he leaves

it was something that was floated by a guest on ABC the other night. Trump would quit making Pence President and as outgoing President he would pardon Trump, just like what happened with Nixon

They didn't call Nixon "tricky Dick" for nothing.

Trump is more a "trumpet"

Pence can't pardon away state prosecutions.

Jon Voight says the leftists are evil, this is a battle against Satan, and that Biden is a lie

Give me a break old White men

pre boomers

Samuel L. Jackson: First, you gotta stop looking at this insanity!! The Civil War was about Slavery so pay attention to the symbolism. Lastly FUCK. John Voight!!!

@user6232128 Fox is going full Trump again.

Really? I guess they got some advertising endorsement.

I was just browsing our Donnie boy's tweets. He retweeted a clip of Tucker baloney that wasted five minutes of my life where he says "the corporate media is telling us to shut up and believe their verdict"

"Corporate media" is suffering due to the lack of sports due to CoV.

Hopefully there'll be a vaccine out for the Jan 20 ceremony.

91 years ago the United States had a Native American VP

> Kamala Harris's win is historic, but the 1st U.S. VP of colour was elected 91 years ago

> “That would be a question more for the White House,” Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary, says on Fox News when asked if Joe Biden will receive access to the presidential daily brief

@EddieKal I think you mean "ok boomer"

@TimStone doesn't the White House usually pay some person to speak for them?

Look she left her alter ego at home I guess

But yeah, serious gaslighting. They should have just changed camera angles and said they were going now to the White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, for comment

It's Fox but it would have been the ultimate production decision of the news cycle

> The largest law firm representing the Trump campaign or its allies in post-election litigation challenging votes in key states has withdrawn from an election lawsuit in Maricopa County, Arizona

> The craziest part about this story is that the postal inspector told this guy he should ask for his lawyer and the dude STILL wanted to keep talking without one

lmfao

When even the feds are like "Bro maybe like, call a lawyer?"

> @kenklippenstein pranking Ric Grinnell makes it to @CNN

lol

> MCCARTHY on QAnon sympathetic Rs coming to Congress: these are new members — give them an opportunity

Okay, but, and hear me out, what if we didn't?

The President is just mass-retweeting people mad at Fox News

It's getting increasingly frustrating to read Trump's tweets about fraud, google them, and find them easily disproved (in many cases, days ago) in about 10 seconds... yet see a million responses to the tweet says "OMG DEMS ARE SUCH CHEATERS"

How is that any different from the last 4 years?

Sheer volume

Also, who even Googles those things? Either you know they're bullshit or you "know" they're true.

At some point everyone has to live with the fact that the democracy in that country has been severely tainted (or rather tainted a lot more than before already) for the foreseeable future and a significant part of the country will just continue to believe a coup d'etat has happened (rather than having been prevented) and that Biden isn't a legitimate president. I can't see how you can convince a lot of those people of the opposite.

@Sterno Many of those are definitely bots. That's the problem with prominently displaying replies from any account

Kevin Sorbo is a bot

Now the President is tweeting about OAN claiming Dominion voting machines deleted Trump votes (a claim which is, of course, baseless)

I guess they can all go there to have a place to whine about liberals and their safe spaces

> Local 10 News has found evidence to suggest three such candidates in three Florida Senate district races, two of them in Miami Dade County, were shill candidates whose presence in the races were meant to syphon votes from Democratic candidates

lol saw some "fraud election" nonsense in some random comment on a friends wall. When I checked, the commenter was from ALberta. SURPRISE! (Narrator: This wasn't actually a surprise)

@TimStone How did some random nobody who did no campaigning get 6300 votes?

@Wipqozn The article points out he had the same last name as the actual Democratic candidate

@PrivatePansy I somehow completely missed that

Okay then this is hella shady, and was obviously an attempt to steal siphon votes.

Fuck the GOP. Seriously. They always scream about election fraud, yet they're always the ones doing it.

I'm always careful reading stories like this because A) We don't want to sound like Trump and B) I'm curious if there are stories of it happening to Republicans too

Gotta avoid the "They're cheaters and we're not" trap. Though, indeed, it may be true.

@Wipqozn it's always projection.

Lewandowski now also has COVID

I can't find the Daily Show clip that said you want to be named Aaron A Aardvark to maximize your vote, because people will often just pick the first choice on the ballot if they don't know anyone

'S 'he problem wid Alberta?

I assume that's not Lewandowskis' Robert? ;-)

@NapoleonWilson It's basically the Texas of Canada

Wow folks we did it

We abolished ICE('s Twitter account, somehow)

London-based costume designer decides to make a "Grittney" costume to celebrate the election

@Sterno lol

Oh no

@fredley STAHP

I wonder if we'll see the evidence of voter fraud before or after the damning Hunter Biden documents that Tucker Carlson lost in the mail

Did he ever run those?

UPS said they found the package he claimed was lost but then I don't remember anything else actually happening

Wait. Fox News is talking about COVID getting worse and not saying it's fake?

In case you didn't yet know how absurd Youtube copyright strike system is: A Mashable journalist got a content strike for a SCHEDULED livestream. As in something with no content yet

@TimStone He did not

Oh, it's so they could spin it into Biden wanting a month long lockdown. Okay, that's the Fox I know

@Sterno You didn't hear? They're a liberal mouthpiece now

Now Fox is talking about some video from April where Nancy Pelosi had expensive ice cream in her freezer.

Like what even

Truly, an important issue to our country

@fredley I have been informed that a man called Peter Gammons is running for mayor of london under the UKIP banner

I still do not believe that that's that guy's real name but

> Senior U.S. cybersecurity official asked to resign amid Trump transition tumult

@Sterno Well now they can blame it on Biden, so it's real again.

> Justice Dept: Ex-Labor Sec. Acosta used 'poor judgment' in handling Jeffrey Epstein case when he was Florida prosecutor

Oh yeah, you think?

Georgia SoS's wife has COVID

> Jared and Ivanka were apparently asked to withdraw their kids from the Jewish day school they attend in DC because parents at the school were concerned the couple were flouting COVID safety guidelines the school requires of parents

@TimStone is this krebs or someone else?

It wasn't Krebs but now Krebs is reportedly expecting to also be fired

> Federal judge dismisses Trump campaign's defamation lawsuit against CNN

@TimStone L. O. L.

Jim Oberweis has lost again

@TimStone Didn't even realize he did this.

How absurd. luckily it was dismissed, as it should've been.

I like how in Trump's world, the Dems cheated by changing votes, deleting votes, throwing away ballots, making fake ballots, having dead people vote, and I guess just flat out recording the opposite of who people voted for. Like, they didn't just pick one fraud strategy... they went with everything possible

@Sterno yeah the GOP just went with fake candidates to soak up some rando votes

in addition to other voter suppression things, of course

@TimStone I mean Trump doesn't know enough to strategically replace people, so I assume it's just people that annoyed him or something like that. I'd be really worried if those replacements were part of a plan, but so far this kind of stuff has been more impulse

At least in this case it's because CISA ran a page debunking conspiracy theories about election fraud like the HAMMER crap and the White House thought it was mean and nasty to Mister Trump to not suggest the CIA had installed software to siphon votes away from him

And they applied pressure to change the page and CISA was like "…No"

> White House officials have asked for content to be edited or removed from the Rumor Control website, which has pushed back against false claims about the election. CISA officials have refused to delete accurate information

> Mark Zuckerberg told an all-staff meeting that Steve Bannon has not violated enough policies to be suspended from Facebook. The ex-Trump adviser suggested in a now-removed video that FBI Director Christopher Wray and Dr. Anthony Fauci should be beheaded

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

@TimStone Oh my god, lmfao

ICE got itself auto-suspended by changing its age to < 13

why does the site even allow that?

I guess so you can accidentally tell on yourself if you're a minor

@TimStone slow clap

> Alaska GOP lawmaker Don Young tests positive for COVID-19

Of relevance to @Jolenealaska

@Sterno you could save yourself some trouble and not google them and assume, based off previous evidence of Trump lying, that he is always lying

@Memor-X That path would turn me into a lazy(ier) thinker

@Sterno in this case it wouldn't

Yeah, it would.

So our school district just sent out a notice to make it clear they have no plans to go virtual proactively. It will only happen if enough students and teachers get sick that they have no choice

the time you save having to fact check a pathological lair could be spent finding several other sources who when they do need to be fact checked, it's generally lying by omission due to their bias, not just flat out lying

Fake Twitter account called "Stan Ford" claiming to be a professor in the "Computer Science Department at Stanford University" eats up everything Trump and OAN vomit, and gets retweeted by OAN

@TimStone The first half had me going, "Say what?!" And then I am like: oh okay progress is good.

So, it seems today Macs stopped starting non-Apple apps because the Apple service that checks binaries for malware was down

or maybe not malware, but certificate revocation, or something
