SE Hoya Containment Thread (aka Politics) - Page 2244 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Other observations I've had on US elections having watched coverage for the last 4 days :

1) It's such a strange culture that the moment where everybody and the president-elect himself claim the victory is based on a threshold set by data scientists for a television channel.. Here I see that they all follow each other but what if one of the channels just decides to go with a particularly bold threshold and called Pennsylvannia yesterday instead?

2) Seems GTO to just nominate somebody from the swing states as your candidate. Tough to lose if you're a democrat from Florida

maybe what will truly heal the nation is all of us coming together and admitting how funny it was that shillary lost to him

not even sure how much i'd pay for a video of her green room watching the results come in

So nice how working with Republican deplorables like John Kasich was totally made worth it by Biden winning Ohio!

Establishment Dems already all over Twitter and MSNBC blaming AOC for their own failures in Congress. Ridiculous.

Let's take a sec to celebrate Betsy Devos, AG Barr, and all the other cabinet trolls losing their jobs too.

The Four Seasons thing is so hilarious. Even for the Trump campaign it is too stupid. And then Rudy's meltdown in front of the landscaping store when he found out everyone had called Biden as winner.

Trump goes golfing and then it gets called while he's out so he has to drive the motorcade back through crowds of cheering Biden/democracy fans waving and chanting.

"Look at them all through the darkness I'm bringing! They're not sad at all, they're actually singing!"

Yeah this is amazing. We need a complete oral history about Four Seasons Total Landscaping and how it all went down. I can’t get enough

Yea a long form interview with the dude who works at the landscape warehouse, picked up the phone, and heard someone asking to schedule a presidential rally there would be quite interesting. Bonus points for going into how they got stiffed when they sent the bill out.

One lesson for me from Obama’s first term is that picking your cabinet based on optics or messaging purposes is dumb. Choose the most progressive, competent people you can find. Keeping Bob Gates at DOD gets you a day of good headlines followed by two years of headaches

oh ****, the boys have become radicalized after pod did not save america as they expected

Lol Mitch is gonna spend two years denying Biden any cabinet appointments that aren't 70 year old white dudes unless we win GA runoffs.

Eliminating student debt and college reform is actually pretty achievable via the Dept. of Ed Iwould think. I realize that doesn't help the right people/Doesn't do enough/Isn't the way you would it/whatever excuse I'm forgetting but it would be a major achievement.
