Mandy, Stephen and all the other deniers of the Biden Presidential Election 2020 VICTORY - the time has come to stop that Copy/Paste/Submit loop that has jammed your circuitry over the past week. We have a WINNER in Georgia.


...
US President-elect Joe Biden has won the state of Georgia, the BBC projects, the first Democratic candidate to do so since 1992.

The win solidifies Mr Biden's victory, giving him a total of 306 votes in the electoral college, the system the US uses to choose its president.

President Donald Trump is projected to win North Carolina, reaching 232 votes.

Mr Trump, who has not yet conceded, alluded for the first time to a possible new administration in January.

Looking subdued, the president stopped short of acknowledging his defeat during a briefing of his coronavirus task force at the White House. These were his first public comments on the election since his defeat was projected by US media.

As the country faces growing outbreaks of Covid-19, Mr Trump said he would not impose a lockdown to fight the virus, adding: "Whatever happens in the future, who knows which administration it will be. I guess time will tell."

The president, who did not mention Mr Biden by name, did not take questions from reporters. Pressure is growing on Mr Trump, a Republican, to acknowledge Mr Biden's victory and help prepare the transition from one administration to another.

Let's not forget where you heard the history making call first ...

Rep. Chip Roy, a Republican who does not support the election coup, has challenged the seating of the House delegations in all of the states that Trump is contesting. Rep. Roy is sending a message to his own party that they can’t have it both ways. House Republicans can’t claim that the same results that elected them are valid while disputing the presidential election results from the same vote.
...
The flaw in the Trump election fraud claim has always been the common-sense problem that if the presidential results in these states are invalid, then all of the results in the five swing states are also not valid, and those members should not be seated.

This term is being frequently thrown out and about lately in various threads. To avoid any misunderstandings, this is what applies in relation to our ToS:

Our rules clearly state:

"you shall not post private or confidential information via AnySubj, including, without limitation, yours or any other person's credit card information, social security or alternate national identity numbers, non-public phone numbers or non-public email addresses."
...
That means that the unauthorized sharing of any information that is regarded as Private or Confidential, is strictly prohibited.

1. The definition of Confidential information includes information designated as such and most importantly treated as such by its proprietor. That means that if the proprietor is negligent in safekeeping or willingly discloses in whole or in part information that he has designated as Confidential, the status of Confidentiality and its protection from our rules is invalidated.

Generally speaking, information such as credit card information, social security numbers, national identity numbers, bank accounts, IRS identifying codes etc are all automatically regarded as Confidential.

The following DOES NOT constitute Confidential information:
(i) information publicly known or in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure, (ii) information publicly known and made generally available after disclosure through no action or inaction of the recipient, (ii) information already in the possession of recipient, without confidentiality restrictions, (iv) information obtained by the recipient from a third party without a breach of confidentiality, and (v) information independently developed by the recipient.

2. The definition of Private information includes information of a personal nature as defined in the Personal Data Legislation. That is any information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, such as name, date and place of birth, maiden name, medical, educational, financial, and employment information. As with Confidential information, the proprietor should exercise caution and demonstrate sufficient and reasonable steps in safeguarding his/her Private information. Negligence and/or Willful Misconduct in the personal treatment of such data, invalidate the protection by our rules.

Disclosing profile identities from/in other social media sites is strictly prohibited. This is especially so when these profiles afford the capacity to trace an individual's true identity. That means that any Private information already in the public domain is STILL regarded as Private and should be treated as such.

The Scottish Parliament voted unanimously to pass a measure that makes free period products available to anyone who needs them, the first country to do so.

If you are a loner , no worries, you have a special set of characters, that some others do not, you show respect, are self aware, are kind and caring and have a plethora of gifts to share with others, but only if you want to. Focus and willpower, alone time will allow you to recharge in boosting up those defense mechanisms, adventurous, don't really like crowds, but have strong values and are faithful to self with love, and those boundaries, do not get in the way, and it is just fine to be confident in yourself while keeping apathy right by your side and have a faithful intuition....but wait there is more....... ... just saying.

On Jan. 20, 2021, around noon, Joe Biden will take the oath of office as president and Donald Trump will lose both his job and one of its most important perks.

Trump has faced investigations involving his campaign, his business and his personal behavior since he took the oath of office himself four years ago. As soon as he becomes a private citizen, however, he will be stripped of the legal armor that has protected him from a host of pending court cases both civil and criminal.
...
He will no longer be able to argue in court that his position as the nation's chief executive makes him immune to prosecution or protects him from turning over documents and other evidence. He will also lose the help of the Justice Department in making those arguments.

He shouldn't have messed with me. From then on it was personal.

Trump has the worst jobs record of any president since Herbert Hoover in 1933.

Twitter on Friday permanently suspended President Donald Trump, citing his recent comments ahead of a mob of his supporters that stormed the Capitol.

What took so freaking long?!?

This is funny as hell if it does turn out they can stop him

Prosecutors have recently interviewed employees of President Trump’s lender and insurance brokerage, in the latest indication that he still faces the potential threat of criminal charges once he leaves office.

From Ed Norton:

“I’m no political pundit but I grew up w a dad who was a federal prosecutor & he taught me a lot & I’ve also sat a fair amount of poker w serious players & l’ll say this: I do not think Trump is trying to ‘make his base happy’ or ‘laying the groundwork for his own network’.. ...or that ‘chaos is what he loves’. The core of it is that he knows he’s in deep, multi-dimensional legal jeopardy & this defines his every action. We’re seeing 1) a tactical delay of the transition to buy time for coverup & evidence suppression 2) above all, a desperate endgame ...which is to create enough chaos & anxiety about peaceful transfer of power, & fear of irreparable damage to the system, that he can cut a Nixon-style deal in exchange for finally conceding. But he doesn’t have the cards. His bluff after ‘the flop’ has been called in court... ·His ‘turn card’ bluff will be an escalation & his ‘River card’ bluff could be really ugly. But they have to be called. We cannot let this mobster bully the USA into a deal to save his ass by threatening our democracy. THAT is his play. But he’s got junk in his hand. So call him
... ·I will allow that he’s also a whiny, sulky, petulant, Grinchy, vindictive little 10-ply-super-soft b**ch who no doubt is just throwing a wicked pout fest & trying to give a tiny-hand middle finger to the whole country for pure spite, without a single thought for the dead & dying. ·But his contemptible, treasonous, seditious assault on the stability of our political compact isn’t about 2024, personal enrichment or anything else other than trying to use chaos & threat to the foundation of the system as leverage to trade for a safe exit. Call. His. Bluff.
Faith in the strength of our sacred institutions & founding principles is severely stretched...but they will hold. They will. He’s leaving, gracelessly & in infamy. But if we trade for it, give him some brokered settlement, we’ll be vulnerable to his return. We can’t flinch.”

"In fourteenth-century England, one of the only ways a woman could get a divorce was if her husband was impotent. But first, she had to prove it in court." And so begins this eye-raising piece on narratively.com. Who knew that there were people tasked by the court, sometimes even female and male friends of the couple, with attempting to arouse the accused hubby.
...
Often the witnesses in impotency cases were women, either married female acquaintances, widows, or local sex workers. They might be tasked by the court with inspecting the man's genital equipment, or they might expose their breasts and genitals to the allegedly impotent man, give him ale and tasty snacks, kiss him, and rub his penis in a warm room to see whether he became aroused. But other times, these witnesses were men who looked on as the husband in question tried to have sex, or even lent a hand and stroked his penis themselves, reporting their findings to the court.

Impotence was a pressing concern for men and women in late medieval England. Multiple poems from the time feature women gathering in groups over copious amounts of alcohol and complaining about their impotent husbands, comparing their flaccid penises to maggots, snails and bumblebees. Other poems are voiced by the men themselves, who mourn their impotence and offer advice to others about preserving their virility. "All ye lovers take heed of me, for I was once as lusty as ye," laments one poet.
