Transition finally beginning.

The President does not seem to be ready to fire her, either.

I did, however, receive threats online, by phone, and by mail directed at my safety, my family, my staff, and even my pets in an effort to coerce me into making this determination prematurely.
Crazy right wingers giving her death threats if she didn't decide for Biden... that's weird.

See you for Trump 2024.

Yeah, that happens to me all the time. I'll come into a forum, comment, then realize there's a whole other page of posts.

So those "lost" documents were found, and nothing ever happened from them.

I thought the migrant caravan got dispersed by the Mexican government before the midterms.

Nope, it was dispersed/reached its destination after the midterms.

You made me google.

Looks like a mess overall. Thousands start crossing from Central America, big percentages get dispersed, but still big numbers make it to Tijuana. 58% of Mexicans oppose immigration from Central America, because they're clearly super racist and that's the only reason to oppose immigration.

It's funny how illegal immigration is frowned upon throughout the world, but the U.S. must allow it or it's racist and evil.

Closing the borders and having detention facilities is going to be ok again, under Biden.

Like when Gitmo was only bad when W was president.

A federal appeals court denied the Trump campaign’s appeal in its Pennsylvania case, striking another blow to the president’s dwindling legal avenues to contest the outcome of the election.

The Philadelphia-based Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in its ruling Friday that the campaign’s claims had no merit and that the number of ballots it had challenged was far smaller than President-elect Joe Biden’s margin of victory in the state.

“It never claims fraud or that any votes were cast by illegal voters,” wrote U.S. Circuit Judge Stephanos Bibas, a Trump appointee, for the three-judge panel. “Plus, tossing out millions of mail-in ballots would be drastic and unprecedented, disenfranchising a huge swath of the electorate and upsetting all down-ballot races too.”

The ruling leaves the Trump campaign with few remaining legal options. It could appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which would then decide whether to take up the case. Jenna Ellis, a Trump legal adviser, wrote on Twitter after the ruling, “On to SCOTUS!”

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a last-ditch Republican request to block President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in Pennsylvania.

The court, in a one-sentence order, denied a bid by a Pennsylvania congressman and other Republicans who were pressing an emergency challenge to the state’s vote-by-mail system.

No justice noted a dissent to the Supreme Court’s order.

Does that mean we can finally call it an election and move on?

Now Rs and Ds need to worry about Biden's term lulling people to sleep and Trump making another run in 2024.
