The 2020 election is more or less over with but the certifications. Yesterday, Arizona was called for Biden, and today Georgia was called for him as well. North Carolina went Trump, so the official EC is 306 Biden, and 232 Trump. Biden was also the first candidate for president in history to have more than 77 MILLION votes cast for him.
Not that Trump or his groupies will accept the outcome. Tomorrow there is supposed to be something called The Million MAGA March. I would be surprised if it is more than a couple of thousand in the march. Their idol has been mostly hidden away trying to plot his next move or hide in embarrassment.
Meanwhile, the shameless Charles Koch is trying to save face and say he is sorry the current political landscape is so messed up in no small part because of his and his late brother David's donations to various organizations and think tanks, but he doesn't appear to shed his sociopathic "libertarian" ideas. He admits "we screwed up," but Charles himself is a massive screw-up.

Speaking of Trump: He is crazier than a shithouse rat:
______700,000 ballots were not allowed to be viewed in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh which means, based on our great Constitution, we win the State of Pennsylvania!

Meanwhile, the campaign mounted half-assed legal fights in states they thought he still had a chance to win — not because they thought it would bring them the election but because there wasn’t much else to do but fight. The New York Times reported that the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, said he was looking for a James Baker–type figure. Instead, they got Rudy Giuliani, Pam Bondi, Corey Lewandowski, and Dave Bossie. “That’s not a legal team,” one of the president’s friends told me. “It’s all so bizarre.”
This person, who speaks to the president often — or, more accurately, who listens and says uh-huh as the president speaks — said that Trump is not just done for, but done. “He wants to lose. He’s out of money. He worries about being arrested. He worried about being assassinated,” they said. “It hasn’t been a great experience for him. He likes showing people around the White House, but the actual day-to-day business of being president? It’s been pretty unpleasant for him.”It's reality, not reality television.
