From Julia Azari on 538: "Since 2000, Dems have had someone from a historically underrepresented group on the ticket — Obama, Clinton, Harris. Joe Lieberman, the 2000 VP nominee, was the first Jewish American to appear on a major party presidential ticket. ... 1/2

who is going to urge republican politicians to “listen to what the other half of the country is saying”

Does ... does this mean we no longer have to check the news every hour?

We watched Twilight and Biden was elected. New Moon should have an ever bigger karmic payoff because BOY did it stink. If we make it through the whole series the pandemic will end, right? 💩📽️🧛‍♂️✨

I’ve introduced a constitutional amendment to end the Electoral College, and I will continue fighting so the people get the president the people want, every time. 2/2

FFS, the "your iCloud account has been breached" roboscam calls are now coming in several times an hour. Any ideas how to to stop this? I refuse on principle to pay for caller ID on my land line. #WhyWeCantHaveNiceThings

So what's it like to have a beaver for a pet? It's all fun and games until the beaver starts living out its Mother Nature-given instincts and starts building a dam... https://www.sadanduseless.com/crafty-beaver/

By the end of this Trump & the Mooch will be hiding under the oval office desk, their ties askew, their faces bruised, pistols in each hand.

Mercury is the closest planet to each of the other planets in the solar system because, due to the way orbits line up, it is closest to them most of the time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SumDHcnCRuU

That Joe Biden speech was strange.

He didn’t cuss or say anything racist or blame stuff on other people. He didn’t even start a “locked him up!” chant

He was just up there speaking in complete, coherent sentences, not lying, acting like a goddamned adult...

It’s just weird, yo

Some states will be close and trigger recounts. The Democratic leadership won't try to shut them down like the GOP did in 2000 and are trying to do now ... because Democrats actually believe in democracy.
