Former Maryland state Sen. Gloria Lawlah, in a state Biden won easily, said the votes for the Democratic ticket were “a repudiation of hate, a repudiation of divisiveness.”

Is a little hate OK?

Biden secures the EC just as Barr gets fired (or resigns if you want to believe that). Christmas has come a few days early.

Out of curiosity, does this mean that Trump won’t be able to pardon himself? I find it hard to believe anyone in the DOJ would sign off on that so, can he just announce pardons without the DOJ being involved? If he does, would they count?

Gretchen Whitmer is on with Melber talking about domestic terrorism and the need for the state and country to come together.

She’s so awesome.

The loser should direct his worried thoughts to upcoming lawsuits and prosecution in New York State. Not to worry, though, the rubes will donate to stop the steal websites and thereby fund his legal representation.

P.S. I watched live on MSNBC as the CA legislature applauded giving our 55 EVs to Biden/Harris. Wonderful moment that I won’t let the loser spoil.
