    Interesting.

    General Services Administration recognises Joe Biden as 'apparent' winner of US election, clearing way for presidential transition to begin


    The US federal agency responsible for officially signing off on the presidential transition process has recognised Joe Biden as the "apparent winner" of the US election.
    The recognition from the General Services Administration clears the way for the start of a transition, despite US President's Donald Trump's refusal to accept the results of the election.

    She made that claim in her letter to President elect Biden.

    To be clear, I did not receive any direction to delay my determination. I did, however,receive threats online, by phone, and by mail directed at my safety, my family, my staff, andeven my pets in an effort to coerce me into making this determination prematurely.

    OK, great party- made all the more memorable because trump turned up as Bozo the Clown. But the party is over- now back to business:-


    Biden will have the presidency. But Republicans still have the power



    President Trump’s efforts to overturn the outcome of the 3 November election, which appear to be over, provided his opponents with a source of sadistic amusement. Trump’s self-humiliation in the eyes of the liberal world is complete. To his followers, of course, the fight goes on. And his Republican colleagues have reason to be cheerful. We should not allow the schadenfreude to distract us from this basic fact. Yes, Biden defeated Trump. But in that same election the Democrats failed to gain the majority of seats that the new president needs to actually put an end to the era of Republican dominance. Things might still go right in Georgia, but that would leave the Senate hanging by a thread.

    Four times, at moments of historic crisis, the US electorate has handed the White House to a Democrat – 1916, 1932, 2008 and 2020. But this year is the first time it has done so without also handing the Democrats a clear majority in Congress. The basic difference between Biden and his predecessors is that he lacks a solid political basis from which to wield power.

    Full Article- Biden will have the presidency. But Republicans still have the power | US politics | The Guardian


    I think we can safely assume, the incoming government can expect nothing else but Republican intransigence. Just like with Obama- who at least had a majority in Congress, but lacked one in the Senate.
    The GOP playbook is quite clear- do everything they can to stymie the Democrat policy agenda, so they can call it a "Lame Duck Presidency".
    Sigh. Not like Biden has a balanced, or friendly Supreme Court either.

    Hardline ticky-tacky partisan politics shouldn't play a role in intelligent discourse.
    Unfortunately, it does.

    Imagine a body political made up of those who didn't subscribe to an invented political identity.

    An interesting article in the Atlantic:

    ... few figures in modern history have done more than Gingrich to lay the groundwork for Trump’s rise. During his two decades in Congress, he pioneered a style of partisan combat—replete with name-calling, conspiracy theories, and strategic obstructionism—that poisoned America’s political culture and plunged Washington into permanent dysfunction. Gingrich’s career can perhaps be best understood as a grand exercise in devolution—an effort to strip American politics of the civilizing traits it had developed over time and return it to its most primal essence.

    It is not all bad in fact it is better than many of you lot are making it out to be. The orange moron is done for and Biden will still be able to use his sweeping executive powers to roll back a lot of the idiotic things he did including rejoining the Paris Accord for starters. Because Trump used executive orders to enact many of his policies they will be wiped away with the stroke of a pen. Not to mention that it looks like the moron trumpanzees may torpedo the Georgia run-offs in January.

    Even if the Democrats lose those races they face a favorable path to retake the Senate in 2022. So it could be a lot worse than it is.

    As Bill Maher said, the fundamental problem is still the senatorial imbalance:

    E.g. Four seats for the redneck trumpanzee Dakotas (pop. 1.6m) vs Two seats for California (pop. 35.9m).

    The founding fathers were fucking idiots.

    Exactly.

    They should have built in a mechanism to adjust.

    Sadly they didn't have any fore knowledge of the future type of liberal/socialist/communist shitbags that would be working to destroy the USA back in their time any more than they knew about the internet and social media sites which would attract the dregs of society with a similar mind set.

    But whiny hypocritical right wing fucktards like you who vote outside their own best interests and are the ones who actually are the recipients of the largest amount of social welfare as all of your poorly run red states are broke and need federal assistance. Not to mention that you fucking hypocrites are totally ok with Socialism for corporations and the rich. You only take issue with it when it is poor people and minorities who benefit.

    This clip explains the GOP and its policies in a nutshell...

    Sadly they didn't factor in that the miniscule populations of these red states would forever be poorly educated, toothless racists.
