Joe Biden projected President-Elect in 2024 Election

[Hards Alumni]

Lock it if you want, but it must be said, if even once.

To borrow from Hamilton:   Winning is easy, old man, governing is harder.     

Time to go to work.

Remember, you heard it here first. Your President Elect for 2024, Joe Biden. 

[TedBaxter]

The same emotion many Indiana alums/fans had after Miles Brand made the call to FIRE Bobby Knight.  Behavior was everything here.  Trump was a total putz.

Now hopefully John King can get some much-needed rest...although he may have a body double like Melania who helped out this week

306. And, the winning and losing popular vote difference will be more votes than the total number of votes in 35 individual states.

This is big and important news.  Though the announcement was really yesterday when the MUScoop statisticians called it (they aren't to be doubted).

If you can keep it civil, we'll allow it.  But little chance of that happening for long.

I'm incredibly relieved. Hopefully for the next 4 years, we can not have to think about politics so much. I know we are polarized, but I really hope Joe Biden's intention of being a president to all the states resonates. We have more in common than what divides us, and while I am definitely on the left end of the Democratic spectrum, there's no reason we can't see progress and a way forward together for everyone on both sides of the aisle.

It’s a great day. The video of Van Jones after the announcement was eye opening. The things he talked about are things I’ve never had to deal with. But they’re incredibly important and you can see what this means to him on a personal level. He’s one of many.

It’s fitting 45 got the greenie weenie while on the golf course, the place he promised he would not be because he’d be too busy working for the American people. Had he held up on his promise we’d have a much better handle on covid and he’d be celebrating a second term.

I think a lot of republicans who disagree with Joe will still accept this and  try to make this country better. I think the nearly 50% that embrace all or part of QAnon will dig even deeper into divisiveness.

As difficult as it might be, I'm trying not to make this too much about the person who lost or any kind of feeling of schadenfreude.

I'm trying real hard to concentrate on the fact that a compassion, decent, hard-working man and a brilliant, talented woman soon will be doing their damnedest to lead our democratic republic back out of the moral, ethical and spiritual abyss.

Have a great weekend, everybody. Time for a beer (or 6)!

Just a reminder, Trump may not concede (he doesn't have to).  The electoral college votes on Dec 14.  That's essentially the path Gore took in 2000 (conceded on Dec 13).

First Pres and VP without an Ivy pedigree since 1977-1981.

Didn’t think I could admire Van Jones more than already did. I was wrong

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

It’s been inevitable for a couple days. But I’m glad for the result and glad it’s over.

Now MU starts in a couple of weeks and we can go back to being separated by what really matters: Projos v. Nojos.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Welcome to the White House, Major and Champ!  Reminder that only sociopaths don't like dogs. 

[tower912]

I've been bitten 7 times by dogs.    I am not a sociopath, but I am not a pet person.   

[GooooMarquette]

A great relief!

The next four years will be hard, dealing with a raging pandemic, its economic fallout and a fractured populace. Maybe the biggest sh!tball handed to an incoming President since Carter. Still, at least we have someone who will try to do the right thing, instead of constantly worrying about the 'brand.'

It's a good start....

I'm in NYC.  I was on a Hidden Places of Central Park Tour when news broke.  We heard screaming and horns and clapping loudly through the entire park.  Our guide and tour group we're ecstatic except one woman who was angry and said Biden "only won by cheating and it will be overturned".  The group went quiet and stopped talking about it and she actually just went and left the tour 15 minutes later.  City lis peaceful and oud with happiness the entire day and still going.....

[Galway Eagle]

Chicago and from what I've seen of many other cities looked like the ending scenes from Star Wars Return of the Jedi where there's celebrations everywhere.

Hope that the right gives him an honest shot with a pandemic going on it's important he gets it.

He's on Twitter with a Marquette avatar embarrassing anyone with any connection to the university.

Damn, tower!

Did those bites happen because they freaked out when you showed up in firefighter gear? Bad luck? Do you give off a bad vibe? Or are you just too damn delicious?

I love dogs, especially larger breeds like retrievers and other working, hunting or sporting pups.

Between innings when I'm umpiring youth baseball, if I see a cute pup, I'll go up to it, talk nice, pet it (though I always ask first), and say to the owner: "Dogs love umpires. That's just science!" It always gets a good laugh.

Yeah he apparently doesn’t know that the electors have already been chosen by the state legislatures.

3x when I was a paperboy.  2x by my MIL's dog when we were watching him, he hid under beds, and I had to (at the request of my daughter and wife) go fish him out.   Once by the dog of some family friends.  Once by a dog who didn't like firefighters.
