Hope old Joe don't tax the fek out of him
Hilarious to see you think that "Steal the Election" is reality. It's another conspiracy theory for trumpanzees like yourself who can't face reality. Too funny. You lost, crybaby. Get over it. Let me help you with your soreness by borrowing the famous words of trumpanzees in 2016: "F*ck your feelings, snowflake".

- Presidential electors will be voting Monday. Here's what that means
Electors will cast their votes Monday in the Electoral College and declare the winner of the 2020 presidential election. The ballots will then be sent to Washington to be counted by Congress on January 6.
What exactly is happening on Monday?
Federal law dictates the electors meet on the Monday in December that follow the second Wednesday, which in 2020 falls on December 14.
There are 538 electors. The number from each state is based on population and is equal to the number of members of Congress the state has, in the House and Senate, meaning the minimum any state can have is three. The state with the most electors is California, which has 55. Washington D.C. has three electors even though it's not a state.
All but two states, Maine and Nebraska, give all their Electoral College votes to the candidate who got the most votes in the state. Maine awards two of its four electoral votes to the statewide winner but also allocates an electoral vote to the popular vote winner in each of its two congressional districts. Nebraska gives two of its five electoral votes to the statewide winner, with the remaining three going to the popular vote winner in each of its three congressional districts.
Three hundred and six electors will vote for Mr. Biden and 232 will vote for Mr. Trump.
The electors will cast ballots, individually and on paper, for president and vice president. The electors count the votes and then sign six certificates, known as the Certificates of the Vote. The certificates are paired with the Certificates of Ascertainment provided by states' governors and are signed, sealed and certified.
The six copies are then sent via registered mail to the president of the Senate (aka Vice President Mike Pence); two are sent to the secretary of state of the state in which the electors met; two are sent to the archivist and one is sent to judge of the U.S. district court of the district in which the electors met.
The votes will take place at different times, starting at 10 a.m. ET and concluding with Hawaii at 7 p.m. ET.
The electors are not necessarily bound by law to vote according to the state's results, and there were 10 "faithless electors" in 2016. But most states have laws that nullify the votes of "faithless electors," and the Supreme Court ruled in July that states can punish them. FairVote found that since the founding of the Electoral College, there have been 167 faithless electors.
What are the next major dates?
December 23: All copies of the electors' votes must be delivered to the recipients.
January 6: Congress will count the votes of the electors. Procedure calls for Pence to open each state's "certificate of ascertainment" — documents prepared by the state after it has completed its vote count and ascertained the official results. He will then present the certificate to four "tellers" who announce result tallies. Once a candidate reaches 270 electoral college votes, Pence will declare the winner.

- Joe Biden To Nominate Pete Buttigieg As Transportation Secretary
The former South Bend, Indiana, mayor would be the first openly gay Cabinet secretary confirmed by the Senate.
President-elect Joe Biden has chosen Pete Buttigieg, his former rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, to lead the U.S. Transportation Department, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Buttigieg, 38, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who has never held federal office, would be the first LGBTQ person nominated to Biden’s administration and, if confirmed, the first LGBTQ Cabinet secretary to be approved by the U.S. Senate.
A spokesman for Biden’s transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A representative for Buttigieg also did not respond to a request for comment.
Buttigieg had been rumored to land in several different spots in Biden’s administration. As Transportation secretary, he would put to use his background in urban affairs by overseeing a sprawling federal agency that oversees U.S. highways, air travel and transit systems.
Buttigieg was surprisingly competitive during the Democratic Party primary, winning the first-in-the-nation caucuses in Iowa, showing formidable fundraising might and enjoying massive popularity on social media.
Once Biden took control of the race after winning the South Carolina primary in February, Buttigieg quickly dropped out and endorsed him, helping Biden consolidate the support of the moderate, establishment wing of the party.

I read yesterday that Putin called to congratulate Biden.
I wonder how Trump feels about that.
Like a jilted schoolgirl I imagine.

Well there's him and Harris taken care of as far as payoffs go for dropping out of the race prematurely, before Biden was in a hole too deep to climb out of. Meanwhile the progressives will be left out, and their voters will be ignored , as Biden will move to placate Republicans instead of the voters that got him there. Maybe the Dems will finally learn in 2024. Doubt it though.
^ You seem to think that policy is dictated by cabinet and president alone - and you know that's wrong. Congress is where the movement starts and there are many progressives there
