It’s official: Joe Biden won the 2020 election with 306 electoral college votes. Lol.

It’s Friday the 13th, so be careful out there.

Anyway, here’s a house beaver:

Political Crap

Look. It’s been a long two weeks, so I’m going to keep this section short and sweet, so we can all get to our weekend already and not think about President Crybaby for one second longer than necessary:

CISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which operates under the Department of Homeland Security, put out a statement yesterday declaring the election “the most secure in American history.” Lol. Read the whole thing yourself:

“The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result. 

“When states have close elections, many will recount ballots. All of the states with close results in the 2020 presidential race have paper records of each vote, allowing the ability to go back and count each ballot if necessary. This is an added benefit for security and resilience. This process allows for the identification and correction of any mistakes or errors. There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.

“Other security measures like pre-election testing, state certification of voting equipment, and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s (EAC) certification of voting equipment help to build additional confidence in the voting systems used in 2020.

“While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too. When you have questions, turn to elections officials as trusted voices as they administer elections.”

(They bolded that sentence, not me.)

Here’s how President Gibberish responded:

IT WAS THE SAFEST ELECTION EVER BECAUSE OF ME AND THE ONLY REASON I LOST IS BECAUSE OF HOW UNSAFE THE ELECTION WAS.

Well, he tweeted that and he fired Bryan Ware, the Assistant Director for CISA, and Chris Krebs, the head of the agency, expects to be fired at any moment.

Meanwhile, things continue to go south on the legal front for President SUE ‘EM! Another law firm has abandoned him; his team has acknowledged that the lawsuit in Arizona isn’t going to change jack shit; a Michigan judge has thrown out their lawsuit to delay the vote certification in Detroit; and North Carolina has been called for President Get the Fuck Out of Here, while Arizona and Georgia have officially been called for Biden. This means all of the states have been called, and Joe Biden has 306 electoral college votes, the exact same number President Habitual Liar had when he won in 2016.

YEP. HISTORIC.

And as for Trump TV being a thing, IndieWire outlines a number of good reasons why it’s probably not something we’ll need to worry about — at least not being a cable network like Fox News or even OAN. However, they left out the two biggest reasons: 1. he’s lazy as fuck and 2. it’s hard to run a network from prison.

Going Viral

Y’all. Things are terrifying. Daily cases have risen above 160,000, 1,190 Americans died of it yesterday, and we’ve hit a national hospitalization record yesterday: 67,096. I know we’re all tired of living like this, but you have to wear a mask and should think REAL HARD about having that slumber party or dinner party or carpool.

The Washington Post is reporting that 130 Secret Service agents are infected with COVID-19. ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY. If anyone should be filing a lawsuit …

“The spread of the coronavirus — which has sidelined roughly 10 percent of the agency’s core security team — is believed to be partly linked to a series of campaign rallies that President Trump held in the weeks before the Nov. 3 election, according to the people, who, like others interviewed for this report, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the situation.”

Elon Musk may have the virus he swore would go away by April. Maybe.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is in quarantine after his wife tested positive.

Richard and Liz Uihlein, conservative megadonors, have contracted the virus after downplaying it for months.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is ut here whinging that scientists with their “science” are trampling our right to gather together in churches and give each other a highly contagious and deadly disease. It’s not the only shitty thing he said, by the way.

In Europe, they keep the schools open and close restaurants and bars. MADNESS.

HEY, MATRIX 4 CAST AND CREW, NOT COOL. (Also, my cousin is definitely somewhere in these pictures, goddammit.)

Dr. Fauci knows you’re probably going to get together for Thanksgiving, he’s just asking you people to be careful. WEAR A MASK.

The Ivy League is canceling all winter sports.

Disneyland will stay closed through the end of the year and the CEO is SO MAD.
