SerenitySTAT: That group was marvelous and the harmonies were wonderful considering that a stairwell was their "concert hall".
Jackie, loved the meme about the fired MF's especially happy to see the press secretary will finally have her lying ways silenced.
Rudy Guiliani needs a muzzle in addition to his straight jacket; and might I suggest one that looks more like a tennis ball and related to S&M?
I want the Joe Biden "We did" cap. Second the sentiment on the 2016 shirts and 2020.

Trill, it's a joy to wake up and go through all these memes that just hit it out of the ballpark. The reference to Friday the 13th and knowing that 20 minutes remain in the film after Jason's supposed to be dead is exactly how I feel.
Everyone's memes here are spectacular. I love Lady Liberty in blue. I spent all weekend absorbing and processing the news. In some ways, I still am.

Last night, a 60 Minutes segment interviewed men overseeing the vote counts and the one man was emotional about Trump interfering with this democratic right. The other man seemed to be saying in a wonderfully controlled, very classy way "Trump's full of shit."
Things I've heard from Trumpers:
"The machines can flip those votes from Trump to Biden." Really? Then why didn't they also flip the Senate and House elections to give the Dems a majority?
"It's like they waited till all the votes were counted for Trump and then they could see how many more they'd need to make Biden the winner." Oh please.
"I don't see how Trump could have handled the coronavirus crises any better." Whaaaaaaaaa???????

1 big thing ... Scoop: Trump allies brace for 30-day war

GOP leaders and confidants of President Trump tell me his legal fight to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's victory — which they admit is likely doomed — could last a month or more, possibly pushing the 2020 political wars toward Christmastime.
- Why it matters: Most top Republicans have followed Trump's orders not to accept the Biden victory, and to allow all legal options to be exhausted. That could mean weeks of drama — and, more importantly, distractions from the vital work of transitioning government for a change of power.
I'm told an internal effort is underway to dissuade Trump from pursuing a blitz (with Rudy Giuliani as the tip of the spear) that could mean three to six weeks of legal challenges, discovery and rulings — at the same time that Biden is talking daily about a message of healing.
- Some top sources tell me Trump has no plan to call for national unity. "No chance," says a person who talks often to the president.
- A senior Republican who talks often to Trump told me the president is "angry ... volatile ... disconsolate."
The backdrop: Alayna Treene scooped in Axios Sneak Peek last evening that most people close to Trump know the race is over, although no one wants to tell him.
- Trump plans to hold rallies focused on the litigation, and brandish obituaries of people who were recorded as voting but are dead, Trump advisers told her.
The senior Republican said there's a real split in the extended inner circle between people pushing Trump to keep fighting, and those who are "trying to gently nudge the president toward giving in."
- The second camp, which includes the senior Republican, argues: "You have a real future as a kingmaker. Don't screw it up by going out in a bad way, leaving the brand diminished and radioactive."
The bottom line: Republican operatives told me they worry that Trump's scorched-earth fight will divert money from the real remaining prize for the GOP — the twin Georgia runoffs on Jan. 5 that'll determine control of the Senate.
- A top Republican said of the legal fight: "It is a distraction. And a gigantic waste of time."
The person who talks often to the president told me: "Republicans ... are very concerned about the Senate. Trump is not."
- A former top Trump West Wing official said: "Surprise — it's all about him."

What happens now?The tumult continues with rapid news cycles reckoning about the future. We see recriminations and outrage, second-guessing and breathless prognosticating. What will the final vote totals be in the popular vote and in the uncalled states? Are the portents for Democrats ominous in the long term? Is the party split? What will Donald Trump do? What will the Senate Republicans do? What do we make from parsing the demographics, and the electorate, and the statements from the politicians on both sides?
My hope is that there are a few things we can all agree on. One is that we never know what will happen. Think back over the last 40 years, or 4 years, or 4 months, or even 4 days. How much did we really see coming? The present changes the future. It always has. Always will.
The other thing I hope we can agree on is that our nation is broken in ways that need fixing and it is always easier to fix things when you try to work together. This effort must begin with a realization that America has always been broken in some significant systemic and historic realities. It has been a long and arduous process to try to fix those injustices. The sight of Kamala Harris, in a white suit speaking as the Vice President-elect, is a sign of how far we have come and how far we also have to go.
Right now the temperature is hot, if not in the air, then in the hearts of many of our fellow citizens. This was a pitched battle for the soul of the nation, fueled by propaganda and distortions that made it all the more passionate. We have a winner and a loser. There is a lot of damage that can still be done, but let us reflect that the worst fears of violence at the polls or in the aftermath have not materialized yet. Not by a long shot. And that gives me hope.
I think we all need a reset in a way, to take a moment to breathe, to think of our communal health and our common humanity. I understand the fear, and the distrust, and the dislike. We can't give up on fighting for justice or the truth. We are all in this together, whether we like it or not.
I remember in the aftermath of World War II there were very strong feelings, to say the least. There was so much death, and hatred, and horror. But within a few years, Japan and Germany were well on their way to becoming allies of the United States, where they remain today.
Minds can change. Hearts can open. Ears can listen. Speech can be used to build bridges. There are many reasons to be cynical but I for one choose to not succumb. To make that choice feels like a step towards healing. I am glad you are reading this, but I also suggest you tuck away your phone or computer for a while. Read a book. Call an old friend. Take a walk. Hold out hope.
We have big challenges ahead, starting with a deadly pandemic that is escalating. It is a potent reminder that none of us can fully wall ourselves off from others, or reality. We will need to invest in our own determination to make the world better and then to do the hard work to make the present determine a future we can't fully imagine or comprehend.
