US Politics XXX: The type of film Donald wants to watch Ivanka in

[Irvine511]

was the reporter named Rick Mercer?

He was small, white haired, and Québécois.

I described the last four years as like being trapped in an Uber with a drink driver. I’m wearing a white mask and a gay shirt.

I hope someone else saw that Don Lemon rant on CNN. 5-10 minutes of personal anecdotes, scathing rhetoric and real passion.

Bwah!

You could also sing (to the Beatle's tune) of "You're gonna that girl job".

 

[dazzledbylight]

So I just totally did a short interview with the CBC.

Cool! Whaddya say?!

They just said on MSNBC that Biden is going to sign a bunch of executive orders, including ones for the U.S. to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord and to rejoin the World Health Association.

THIS.
(among other things, but this can be done quickly!!!)

Good lord, this. I wasn't just voting for Biden, I was voting for both the party and an overhaul of the White House as a whole.

THIS.
It was also about all of those horrible people, and their hideous policies !!!

 

[dazzledbylight]

Watching this with my daughter and it's so great to be able to show my little girl that Americans can and will choose a woman for office. This is a special night.

"Every little girl watching tonight knows this is a country of possibility."

I loved when she said, "I may be the first woman on this ticket, but I won't be the last." Damn right .

ETA: Oh, god, how nice it is to hear a president talking about women in a respectful way again.

Yes. And yes.

A Presidential speech that not only had nothing offensive, but was actually inspiring. What is this thing I don’t recognize?

I figured Kamala would as going to be really good+.
But I was (somewhat unexpectedly) really inspired by Biden's speech.

 

[dazzledbylight]

Lol Rick Mercer is a second cousin of my brother in law.

Cool!

Wow that was such a wonderful speech from Biden and Harris! It’s so damn refreshing!! I am so happy for my American neighbours! Today America truly does turn a page! And so awesome to see a women elected to office too! Just such an amazing day all around and something that we all needed given how horrible 2020 has been for all of us! A huge congrats to my American friends!!

Thank you!
Not fun to be neighbors when a country veers so out of whack ( though we'll being dealing with (the drumphists , too after 1/20/21 them, too).

ah so he could definitely relate.

i've been on poorly-built amusement park rides that were safer than a quebec taxi

Bwaaahahaaaa!

I even know what that is!!

 

[dazzledbylight]

Andrew Yang is moving to Georgia to help with the Senate races.

Cool!

Canada is a small town.

This has to be the priority for every Democrat over the next 2 months. The new administration should proceed with transition, but there are many other players who could make a difference.

Somebody get Oprah.

Def going to send some $ !

 

[dazzledbylight]

Somebody get Oprah.

"You get a donation, and you get a donation!"

I love that Kamala spent her teenage years in Montreal. There's basically a Canadian in the White House!

Heh, eh?

I had wonderful Canadian friends, and acquaintances here in Interland!

Great series. I liked the inclusion of the "anonymous sources". No regime survives without enough cowards to sustain it.

They just said on MSNBC that Biden is going to sign a bunch of executive orders, including ones for the U.S. to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord and to rejoin the World Health Association.

And for at least four years, the global gag rule will be archived again.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Welp, now that the celebration is over... this is going to be a crazy two months. We have a pandemic that is flaring up just in time for the cold weather and a president who doesn't care, the same president who is still sending messages via social media and his campaign email to supporters claiming that he won the election.

And oh btw most of the GOP still hasn't acknowledged the race being called, and there's going to be two incredibly contentious senate runoffs.

Nobody said it was going to be easy

 

[phanan]

I’m a bit surprised most of the GOP aren’t coming out and recognizing the election. They pretty much accomplished what they wanted these last four years and now can continue without the headache that Trump is.

 

[phanan]

Unless they feel they still need them for GA.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Mrs. S. I'm sure she is looking on and cheering from the hereafter!

Thank you

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Ooh, I like Kamala's suit.

As much as I dislike focus on her clothes, as a lover of fashion I thought it was beautiful. She also makes me want to buy a pair of Chuck Taylors.

Not only is she so close with her husband's adult kids from his first marriage, she is good friends with his first wife. I think that says good things about Kamala. And about his first wife too of course. The first second gentleman is a lucky man, he seems very likeable.

What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

70 million people voted for Trump, second most in US history behind only the 75+ million who voted for Biden.

This will cause some hesitancy on the GOP's part, especially with an important runoff and then again in 2022.

 

[BEAL]

Nice to celebrate on the weekend. Maybe the media planned that all along. Sunday to recover.

Dems need to stop fighting in public right now and focus on GA.

There needs to be a mix of moderate to progressive ideas from this administration. What plays well in NY doesn’t translate 100% somewhere like GA.

Read that the Yang Gang is heading down to GA to help mobilize turnout.

 

[Bluer White]

I'll say it first-hope you are well. #obtuse

You're going to love the nicknames and memes coming for our president-elect, Mrs S.

You can cool it with the "sexy" wink

 

[gump]

GOP is scared shitless of losing the Trump vote especially with the two GA primaries on the horizon.

Exactly.

And they have a brutal 2022 Senate fight. You can bet the left is coming for a number of their senators who aren’t even liked among Republicans. Val Demings likely to pursue Rubio’s seat, for example.

 

[Irvine511]

Val Demings likely to pursue Rubio’s seat, for example.

Please let this happen.

Yes, Republicans got the best of both worlds. Traditional Republicans who hate Trump and voted him out. But who also voted R down ballot because they think “socialism” and defunding the police is completely stupid, and the non-voting Trump voters who voted red all the way down.

I’m still watching Alaska, too.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Ya everyone seems to have forgotten about Alaska. They won't start counting their mail in ballots until Tuesday and that senate race will be tight. I think the republican will hold on but it's far from guaranteed.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I think you’re grasping but I’d love to be wrong.

 

[womanfish]

Also, I know its a huge reach for NC, but shouldn't they be releasing numbers this weekend?

They did release a lot and it didn’t do anything

 

[Popmartijn]

Isn't the big update for NC expected until after 12 November, when absentee/overseas ballots have to be in?
