Nearly every Trump accomplishment collapsed in the first day of the Biden administration

If you were to make a list of the accomplishments of the Trump administration, although it might not be long, it would include many of the things that Donald Trump set out to do when he ran in 2016. The United States pulled back from the global political community to become more isolationist, it revoked a number of the environmental and social policies of the … Continue reading Nearly every Trump accomplishment collapsed in the first day of the Biden administration

Here are all the times previously that Congress has gotten involved in a presidential election

Congressional Republicans are trying to stop the body from certifying Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election. Congress makes this certification on January 6 and by all accounts is expected to do so but with a bit of a delay while Republicans make their case that something about the November 2020 presidential election was suspect. A group of Republican senators is trying to … Continue reading Here are all the times previously that Congress has gotten involved in a presidential election

Joe Biden isn’t the person of the year – but ‘Time’ is trapped in a loop

Back on Thursday – if you can remember back that far – Time magazine named Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as its “Person of the Year.” This surprised no one, since the POTY has been the winner of the presidential election since 2000: Bush, Obama, and Trump all got the accolade in their election and (for Bush and Obama) re-election years. That’s as far back … Continue reading Joe Biden isn’t the person of the year – but ‘Time’ is trapped in a loop

Who The Fuck Are All These Fucks

President Kamala Harris

Back in 2019, a rumor began circulating. First, it flowed through prominent Democratic officials and donors, then through the outer ring of politicos, and finally through the press. The rumor: Joe Biden, the 77-year-old seeking the presidency for the third time in his life, was also seeking it for the last time. He did not plan to run in 2024, whether he won in 2020 … Continue reading President Kamala Harris

Trump could use this little-known loophole to still win the election

Ever since the liberal mainstream media called the election for Joe Biden even before all the votes were counted and with allegations of pro-Democratic voter fraud all across this great land of ours, the so-called “free press” has been proclaiming that Donald Trump can’t win the election, that he’s a “loser,” and that Joe Biden is going to be the next president. But these elites … Continue reading Trump could use this little-known loophole to still win the election

Joe Biden is the winner – but we don’t know how, yet

Across Twitter, armchair pundits and genuine pundits alike are a little frustrated by the lack of a call in the presidential election. No major network, nor the Associated Press, has called Georgia, Pennsylvania, or Nevada for Joe Biden. Without one of those states, Biden remains in limbo, stuck at a max of 264 electoral votes. He needs 270 to win. And he has them… somewhere. … Continue reading Joe Biden is the winner – but we don’t know how, yet

A Biden Win and Republican Senate Might Lead to Gridlock on Health Issues

Julie Rovner At the time of publication, the presidential election remains too close to call. This was expected, and does not indicate that anything is wrong with the process. Independent observers have reported that the election itself appears to be free and fair. This article speculates on the possibility that Democratic nominee Joe Biden will win the vote, but does not assert that he has … Continue reading A Biden Win and Republican Senate Might Lead to Gridlock on Health Issues

There’s a chance we look back on this and laugh, right?

Another Pyramid contributor challenged me to a simple contest: predict the outcome of today’s election and whoever is closest gets, you know, the honor of being closest. While he took the Road of Uncertainty, I’m making the bold prediction that by the end of the night, we’ll have three answers to three questions. And, sure, none of them are who will the president be next … Continue reading There’s a chance we look back on this and laugh, right?

Last, and Also Least

Yesterday was a milestone in our long national nightmare: the last debate of the 2020 election cycle!  Well, unless we really are in a time loop.  As FiveThirtyEight points out, probably more than a quarter of the votes in this election (including mine) have already been cast, and although voters who dislike both candidates and are still undecided in the last two weeks of the … Continue reading Last, and Also Least
