A buddy of mine said MSDNC also called it for Biden. I have a hunch the C-suites of the various networks met and of course, with the last blessing of the AP, decided it would be sometime this morning, after Penn’s mail-in ballots counted were at 85% for Biden.
It's ok to celebrate the fall of a tyrant. Goodbye Trump.

Jibber-jabber, tweets, videos, and sunshine.
I want to congratulate all those who worked so hard to make this historic day possible. Now, through our continued grassroots organizing, let us create a government that works for ALL and not the few. Let us create a nation built on justice, not greed and bigotry.

Tip Jar…
Now that the dem party defeated a monster, we can continue to try and figure out what important Bernie work has done and continues to do.
Bernie engaged people in the practice of democracy.
Bernie provided a language of politics. Bernie engaged his supporters.
What I did below was to take the final paragraph from an article which describes a famous intellectual when he worked as an elementary school teacher and prepared a dictionary for them. I made two changes in the paragraph.
For the name of the famous person, I substituted Bernie
For the word student, I substituted supporter.
Later I will post the answer
Guesses are welcome
I know the answer. I cheated.
OK. You can spill the beans
Here’s my cheat sheet.
How Ludwig Wittgenstein came to write a dictionary for elementary school students.
https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/roundtable/guard-against-confusion
“Wittgenstein carefully prepared his students to enter into the community of language as active participants. He emphasized learning through direct experience, taking responsibility, and honing their judgment in creating and discerning meaning. Instead of having students simply memorize words and their usage as though they were akin to multiplication tables, Wittgenstein insisted that students needed to build up their familiarity and make correct inferences about the relationships between words and meanings for themselves….”
And Bernie defines the battle that looms.
Sigh. In a perfect world that would have been Bernie’s acceptance speech as POTUS-elect. 😞
OK. Here are a couple of hints. He lived in the 20 th century.
And (I took out his name)
agree — Bernie fits well with the quotation for Wittgenstein in the modified quotation above
I have no idea 😀 it was fun give it some thought though.
And the answer is Wittgenstein
Guard Against Confusion
How Ludwig Wittgenstein came to write a dictionary for elementary school students.
taught in small villiages to elementary school students between 1920 and 1925
In WWI he was a scout in the army. That means that he was forward of the line in the most vulnerable position. From one of the richest families in Vienna, after WWI he gave up his fortune.
from wiki
I sent the reworded paragraph with Bernie in it to the poly sci prof who wrote the article. Since I did not say anything except put in the paragraph, there is probably an 80% chance she will respond. Usually with these kinds of things I put in too much and for whatever reason, the email ends up in the trash
Oh, I was so close, saw that name while I was trying to cheat, haha. That was fun and plus I learned something. Thanks Don.
Agreed, Were now just a Political website, you can increase your knowledge here as well..
I posted this the day Walker lost, and now for 70+ million americans today that decided they wanted Trumpcorp gone.
Spontanious celebrations breaking out nation wide
How’s your health today, wi62? Got most of your senses back? Breathing better?
I was wondering the same thing, too?
Best i’ve felt since this started, headaches are mild, can taste again body aches are less and fatigue still their but getting better. I think i’ll beat this thing considering I have High BP and diabetic. I really figured I would end up in the hospital because of those two conditions. This virus is an energy sucking vampire, it drains you. I’m hoping that I can shake the rest of it sometime next week.
Easy does it, wi62!
oh my gosh. so wonderful. thank the mrs. for us, too!
She’s been a great nurse for me.
I’m so glad to hear that and also the update. Mrs. wi62 sounds like a wonderful woman.
loooove it! shared this and the na na hey hey on FB. ty
Wish I was more computer literate, use the song and string several vids from across the US
My wife turned on MSNBC which just called it for Biden.
Earlier I sat and watched TV for less than 10 minutes and Joe, the shit Scarbough (sp) said that voters were afraid of democrats. Socialists!!! Fear them!!!
The pundits who do horse races are in heaven to have a non stop horse race that goes on and on for hours and affords them to talk about something other than the shit Trump throws over the wall.
Now that the propaganda to defeat Trump has been part, in some way, maybe what it did was to scare the shit out of people. My wife and her friends sent Lincoln Project info around, like Colbert who had a rant the other day when Trump held his unhinged press conference, and the Never Trumpers in the establishment democrats, …
There is a twitter feed up right now on the Lincoln Project. I will try my best to get my wife to understand how she has been manipulated by Republicans. This shows how weak the practices of the dem party, their collective attachments, how weak they are when subjected to hot buttons. The dems are not tied strongly to issues, but to the ebb and flow of opinion while supporting neo liberal economics, wars, American exceptionalism and slow walking response to The New Climatic Regime. That name is used to highlight the political nature of The New Climatic Regime.
Now shift to Lincoln Project. Important to put this on the table to fight it as part of the fight to move the dems to the left.
this one has an 18 min MUST WATCH takedown of the Lincoln project
here is a direct link to the 18 min youtube
(as an aside, my wife has MSNBC on and I hate them more and more and more….I can only hear enthusiastic talk, I am not hearing the words, but they are slobbering all over themselves as they call the winner of the horse race)
I think the next one is crap

there are many, many apologists and I didn’t bother to list them
Not a single progressive incumbent was voted out.
Progressive measures passed all over the country, even as centrist Democrat incumbents were defeated:
There Was Actually a Lot of Good News for the Left on Election Day
If Democrats are going to succeed in the future they will have to stop accepting the conservative framing on socialism, and embrace it to advance widely-popular changes.
excellent article
The Lincoln Project Was a Giant Grift
BY
DAVID SIROTA ANDREW PEREZ
The Lincoln Project said it would win over Republican voters from Donald Trump. Instead, Trump consolidated his base as the group burned $67 million that could’ve been spent better on real political organizing.
and they spent no money on GA Senate Race. Lets see what they do now that the monster is gone.
What the grifters/ con artists don’t personally pocket will go towards installing more FRightwing BS into political power. Man, do I hate this lowlife human trash!
see next comment for link
here is the link to the Onion article
Lincoln Project Immediately Releases Series Of Ads Calling For Biden Impeachment
Fuck them and the slime they slithered in on!💩💩💩💩💩💩
P.S.: know it’s The Onion, but my comment still stands.
Though some of their ads were good, But never turn your back on them unless you like puncture wounds.
lol, thank goodness for The Onion!
I endured that Scarborough rant right there with you Don, it was awful and I told Mr. Mags, “I’m not listening to this!!” and flipped to John King on CNN going over the numbers while we finished our breakfast. It was quite clear that Biden was about to win from the trends on those late votes.
All those never-Trump republicans are going to do their best to push the Dem party even more to the right. I expect Fox to go completely off the rails, while MSNBC and CNN will be more devious with their methods.
p.s. my sister got sucked into the LP. I’m curious what those jerks will do now.
Hannity, Limpballs must be going thru a major meltdown on Faux news, dear leader has been disposed
Hopefully, Limpballs will finally croak!
First of all, I avoid the boob tube. Second, I knew the Lincoln Project was a BS scam from the get-go. Wonder how much dough the LP grifters scammed off the marks?💩💩💩
I have a feeling that the LP bloggers are going to chased out of some places. I am glad no one here thought they would be good allies.
The 277 Policies for Which Biden Need Not Ask Permission
As president, Joe Biden could take action on hundreds of policies without having to go through Congress. The Biden-Sanders unity task force provides a road map.
short article because there are categories of various areas
well, might not be the case
he does have to check with his owners before he becomes too radical for wall street
just noticed, WALL street
what a great name
a WALL to protect capitalism
Meanwhile Haz-mat teams have been called to the WH for massive cleanup as heads exploding all over the place🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
If I were Biden, I’d hire a shaman to clear the WH.
seriously, It is a Covid Pit
still have your sense of humor. lol. they really will need a covid team, tho, right? amtrak is using Lysol.
Yeah, but Trick the Prick came back from the dead.
Oh, I would imagine the orange shizt will run again, but will have company this time as he has a record to defend. It will depend on Moscow Mitch ditching Trump.
Is that sunshine, or just the reflection off Biden’s teeth?
But let’s give credit where credit is due. Unseating a sitting president is not an easy thing.
And some good will come of this.
Shame she’s such a loser. Sure hope I am wrong.

Just sitting back watching coverage with people celebrating,some one had a bottle of champaign. running the star wars victory somg while i watch 🙂
