We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
But she's in there for another 6 years now, whereas if she took a Cabinet position, she'd have to worry about potentially being out in 4. And she apparently doesn't worry too much about what Trump and company want her to do, since she has broken with them a couple of times and still got re-elected.
Biden won, but the Republicans can still steal it.
At this point, the court cases don't seem likely to win, but there may be a very small chance to delay certification which would send it to congress.
The other risk are faithless electors not giving Biden enough electoral votes to win, also then sending it to congress for a Trump win.
Both chances are low, but I will not rest easy until the electors vote in December.

I keep doing my best to give Greenwald the benefit of the doubt because of his work with Snowden and in Brazil, but this is just so disingenuous.
If he really and truly believes that there is a parallel between Flynn and what Biden's campaign is doing then I'm sorry, but dude is dumb as fuck.

It won't happen. Collins recognizes that she has much more power as a veteran senator in an incredibly safe state than she would in a presidential administration. A Biden presidency with a slim R majority is perfect for her, because Democrats are going to be courting her as the key swing vote on a lot of legislation and she'll be able to negotiate something favorable for her constituency because she's going to be that flippable vote. Susan Collins, Ben Sasse, and Mitt Romney end up becoming the three most powerful senators in the country, despite being outside of the ideological norm of their party.
Similar, Joe Manchin has never left West Virginia because he's a safe Democrat in a Republican state, which makes him one of the most powerful members of the senate.
Also Susan Collins just has to be riding super high. Maine is going to go like +10 for Biden, and yet she won easily against "the perfect opponent" (like, an opponent that seemed to be perfectly crafted to beat her). As frustrating as it is for us, that's a strong show of approval from voters in her state.
Biden wins even without AZ and PA because of Georgia and Nevada.
Ugh. Bring back pork barrel politics. Give the asshole what he needs so we can actually accomplish something.
At this point, I'm more concerned with open conflict due to a clear power grab rather than any sort of manipulation. I'm not terribly concerned about that even, but I'm more concerned with that than the fact that any "legal" efforts actually work.
Biden will take AZ and PA. No judge is going to allow a stoppage with no proof of any wrong doing. Just like the many lawsuit he did before the election.
That piece of shit Manchin is part of the electoral uphill battle Dems face, as his existence means they need one more seat.
Whatever happens, there is no way Biden is moving in on January 20... the whole place needs to be sanitized and aired and disinfected.
I'm sure they'll be finding McDonald's wrappers for weeks after he leaves.

Imagine the world where he doesn't exist and the seat is a super solid R seat. That's... better, somehow? That is what you're arguing?
Manchin, Senator from Trump's best state, a year after the closest race, voted for Trump's impeachment.
I remember when Manchin threatened to switch parties in 2014 if Rs took back the Senate. They did, kept it, and he didn't. I remember when he was thinking about endorsing Trump and then a few months later he voted to remove Trump from office. He's a Reverse-Collins and it's crazy people can sniff the bullshit off her but not on him.
Hell, at least Collins's fake moderate bullshit inadvertently helped stop the ACA repeal, I don't think Manchin would ever fuck up like that on a clutch vote.
Reading through that he just out and out makes things up to support his narrative. At least the Intercept required some evidence of those conclusions BEFORE you reach them.
It's actually pretty damn scary seeing how many people actually voted for Trump, good lord. I can't wait to see him get the boot!
It's true. I think it's not impossible that if it came down to it he would vote for D.C. and PR statehood. And if we can't get rid of the filibuster, we can change how the filibuster works to make it irrelevant.
Yea, needed to be on that shit from Sunday. They have to know Trump is going to keep this shit up.
How are you doing lately? I know the thread leading up to the election had you really stressed. Hope you're breathing a little easier.
Thanks, I'm good now. Was definitely the most stressful time ever for me like most people.
when will these remaining trump lawsuits be looked at/thrown out? i still can't figure this out. if there's no evidence, a judge should look at it today and say "there's no evidence goodbye don". with these things threatening the state of the election and the stability of the country you'd think they'd be taken up pretty rapidly, right?
Absolutely agreed. I have no idea what they're waiting for at this point.
They didn't get the GSA refusal until Monday. It's only Tuesday morning.
Yep, hence why he left lol. Can't have any of this evidence business in 2020!
You need standing to sue. Until they've had an injury, they can't sue as their case isn't ripe.
There's a fair chance they'd lose, I think. Technically, they're not owed anything until December. No one usually waits that long, but yeah.
He's not arguing anything. He just wanted to call a Sen. Manchin a piece of shit.
I mean, what's the context here? This is an easy, and safe, thing to say right now when it's more likely than not that the GOP holds the Senate and won't be bringing these things up for a vote anyway. Come back when the GA runoffs go in our favor and it's an actual question.
Y'all misunderstand Manchin. He's as blue as you're gonna get in that area. What he says vs. what he does when it comes to a "in case of emergency, break glass." Situation are very different.
That being said, I don't think he'd vote to end the filibuster.
I read through the PA lawsuit and spoke with a couple of lawyer friends and they said the case is completely meritless - they make a lot of statements with no hard evidence- it's a series of "well this could have happened" scenarios. When suing the burden of evidence is on the party filing the lawsuit.
They tried to claim an unfair two-tiered system- however, a two-tiered system implies that one party has no access to one of the tiers when it is simply not the case. Trump's own words can be used against Trump's team as well as he was the one telling people to avoid mail-in voting- so the damage is self-inflicted.
I would imagine that a lot of the lawyers writing these lawsuits are not happy to be a part of them.
Good. The sooner the better, this circus show is old. No more taking the high road.
which means that even the purported 'routing" in the House is not nearly as bad as once thought. Again, people fell right into the red mirage shit.
Debunking all fraud claims - the Twitter megathread
On what basis can Biden's team sue for resources? No state has certified any results yet. Yes it was customary in the past but it's hard to imagine being able to legally enforce it without at least vote certifications.
You mean like plotting the kidnapping of people on U.S. soil and surrendering them to foreign tyrants?
No?
Then shut the fuck up.
It's worth noting that our congressman here in ME-2, Jared Golden, is a former marine and gun owner who leaned heavily on these two factors in his advertising when he was running for his first term two years ago. A veteran who supports the second amendment in a state with a lot of hunters has bipartisan appeal. He hides his liberalness well in his ads.
Sara Gideon is from out of state and currently lives on the coast. She doesn't have any of the characteristics that attract rural conservative Maine voters like Golden does. Collins played up her "I'm a county girl" angle hard in the campaign.
We're stuck with Collins for another six years. Hopefully she retires at that point.
