    Speaking of still counting, apparently California by itself, with just 2/3 of the vote counted, accounts for Biden’s national 4 million popular vote lead over Trump. I cannot overstate just how much he is loathed by most people here, and that’s why it’s shocking to see how close this election was for those of us out West.

    He should lose by somewhere between 6-7 million nationally and that will mostly be y’all. That’s awesome!

    Meanwhile, Bannon wants Trump to start beheading Fauci and other “traitors.”

     

    STEVE BANNON (HOST): Second term kicks off with firing Wray, firing Fauci.

    Now I actually want to go a step farther but I realize the president is a kind-hearted man and a good man. I'd actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England, I'd put the heads on pikes, right, I'd put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats. You either get with the program or you're gone -- time to stop playing games. blow it all up, put Ric Grenell today as the interim head of the FBI, that'll light them up, right.

    JACK MAXEY (CO-HOST): You know what Steve, just yesterday there was the anniversary of the hanging of two Tories in Philadelphia, these were Quaker businessmen who had cohabitated if you will with the British while they were occupying Philadelphia. These people were hung. This is what we used to do to traitors.

    BANNON: That's how you won the revolution. No one wants to talk about it. The revolution wasn't some sort of garden party, right? It was a civil war. It was a civil war.

     

    I’m glad they agree that traitors should be hung. Looks like they want to be first in line.

    Here's my quick question -- folks are saying that if Biden wins, we must engage the other side, and work to heal this country.  I think that is sound reasoning.  It is indeed what we should do.  I don't know if I have the willpower to do it, but I agree that it's what should happen.

    Now, run that same play....if Trump wins a second term.  Do you think team MAGA will "reach out to the other side to unite and heal this country?"  Or.....will it be an unrestrained orgy of overreaching and "SUCK IT, LIBTARDS!" around the clock?  Come on.  We all know the answer.  The Trumpkins who have the guts to post around here have admitted as much (and provided their example of how it would go).

    There is a path to healing this country if Biden wins.  It will be tough, but there's a path.

    There is no path to healing if Trump wins.  In fact, the mission will be to inflict as much pain on those who "betrayed" him as possible.  It will be four years of vengeance and cruelty, and policies aimed solely at inflicting pain on those they want to hurt.

    And we don't know which will happen yet.  Thus, a LITTLE BIT of anxiety.

    So the reasoning is sound on if Biden wins. I agree with it. 
     

    If Trump wins I agree with what you said there too. 
     

    I am fairly level-headed and have a really good ability to listen to others and their worldview. Prepare to read the following in Stephen A Smith’s voice. HOWEVER, I do not have the wherewithal to listen to someone talk about an entire political party participating in some wildly ridiculous conspiracy involving a child pedophile ring. I also do not have the ability to listen to a party full of our fellow human beings just randomly say COMMUNISM is coming with Biden and Antifa will be marching on our neighborhoods along with MS-13. There are people who are professionals at working with cult members and reintroducing them to the real world. My younger brother voted for Dotard. I have never heard him go the conspiracy route. He votes R because he thinks the economy will continue to crater with Biden as best I can tell. Trying to explain to him why that is not accurate in any way, shape, form or fashion is something I am not prepared to do at this point. I can be kind to them like I would anyone else, but not I will not listen to wild Pedo-driven conspiracies and the Deep State whatever you want to call it.

    Well, in Q-aggon's defense, the sudden impact of unfiltered reality would have to be akin to having a jet airliner collide with your brainstem.

    Folks say that to heal this country you are going to have to engage with the other side to do so. I am not prepared to engage with people who have a completely fictitious and made-up reality that take their direction from a carnival barker soon to be evicted from the White House as well as fervently believing in that absurdly insane Q conspiracy theory.

      Cube knows what it is. Niggaz mad at him because it was a bitch-assed Uncle Tom move. Sometimes the pride of your people needs to take precedence over collusion. Get off your knees and wipe your mouth off Cube!

     

    I have always liked Cube (Die-hard Laker fan like me and I grew up listening to him), but it would serve him well to just admit he screwed up. Something about his personality says that admission will not be forthcoming though.

    I like King but I feel like these segments have gotten incredibly repetitive. I wish they’d do more projecting with the numbers as more votes come in. I’ve been watching all day long. There are five states in play — I know each candidate’s path. You don’t need to keep showing them to me.

     

    I probably like him more than the average viewer because of how repetitive he is with the numbers.

    related: nothing matters.

    This says more about the emotional and actual intelligence of the people who live in those two states than anything else. You have a mountain of evidence and reasons to stop electing both of them to the senate, but their emotional intelligence leads them to vote for those two just to be able to say “Suck it libs!” These votes are not being cast for them for any actual policy reasons.

    I can but can't believe what I just heard.

    I am glad that I have a pretty strong faith in God so I don’t worry about this stuff.  However, I am disappointed in hearing him stand up there in front of the country and world and lie and sound like a strong man leading some banana republic. It was ridiculous and really without precedent.

    Was thinking about waking up my girlfriend and telling her the nation she thinks was here tonight won't be here tomorrow. My daughter (18) just texted me asking now what. I could not answer. 

    I have been an election monitor in a few developing countries and this is fucking amazing and agree, it saddens me to the core. Even if you hate Biden realize one thing, our experiment ended tonight. 

    I am taking in what he said and yes if he follows through on what he said and gets help from the Supreme Court we are done. I will say I do not think they would allow him to throw out these votes, but any scenario that ends with them being thrown out means we are done.

    There's going to be a lot of violence as a direct result of things dotard is saying right now. 

    He doesn’t care. His voters do not care. More dead or severely injured minorities and libtards is acceptable when your cult leader gives you the ok like he just did. Sewing as much discord and violence is a feature and not a bug.

    Same. I'm afraid I'm going to curse or throw my drink at the TV and wake the wife and kids. I will exercise all possible restraint.

    I’m listening to CNN and think what you will of them, but when Acosta and Tapper are warning viewers the President is going to get in front of the nation and lie, this lets you know exactly where we are at.
