The two Georgia senator battles go to a run off in January. Expect the democrats to show up for that, the campaigning in Georgia for democrats has been phenomenal in large part due to Stacey Abrams. They'll probably tie it up with Vice-president elect Harris having the final say.

Okay, cool.

I've just seen the senate is tied at 48-48, so interesting times ahead.

Brilliant mate. I have been quite emotionally invested in all this but you have had to actually live through this. I know that are far worse regimes across the globe but the fact that this has been happening in America, supposedly the the land of the free and the home of the brave makes it a harder watch in some ways because we are in the midst of it. Stuff that happens to an unfamiliar society thousands of miles away is just that but put those same traits in leaders and all of a sudden it seems that democracy has been savaged over the last four years.

I have been genuinely appalled by what I have seen over the last four years and I am so p[leased for you Carl together with all your fellow Americans that you now have some chance at normality.

Oh, as an aside, to all those false equivalencers out there, you are wrong. There simply is no comparison.

Enjoy your Pliny the Elder mate.

Cheers Doc!! Thanks for the kind message. I have to say the last number of years these threads have been a real salve. I don’t post about politics anywhere else. I did it here because I needed a regular sanity check from those not as embroiled in the mire, and both more objective and broad-minded. Anyway this has never been about politics for me. I was very happy to have so much support and so many who feel the way you do. Once this fucking piece of shit has his bags packed I’d wager I’ll rarely write about Biden and Harris. I hope Trump and especially his kids, toadies and enablers are punished if they’ve committed crimes, and lose influence if they haven’t, and I expect to keep writing about that! I always saw him as an incredible danger and he has proved himself that.

Hopefully. The risk is complacency followed by a backlash from angry right wingers.

So genuine question will Trump stand on the podium when Joe is sworn in on Inauguration Day.

No chance. Apparently 5 times the former president has not taken part in the inauguration - I don't know if that includes assassinated presidents, but the BBC were making out this would be less of a big deal than refusing to concede.
 
Wonder if Trump will get his supporters all riled up at first but then will do a deal with authorities that he won't put up too much of a fuss if they promise not to prosecute him for any misdeeds and his tax anomalies?

Presumably if he doesn't concede, he can't logically work on transition?

Plus if you believe the amount of votes that went missing because of the USPS they might have been a lot closer. A lot of mail ins never arrived in Florida and I have a feeling that'll be investigated when Biden takes office, Florida would have been a lot closer.

He'll put Fauci in charge of the USPS as a sideline
