I see what you mean - they’ll expect a Biden administration to prop up the Affordable Care Act, things like that?

I doubt it, why do you think that?

He's meaning enacting progressive policies. The ACA is not a progressive policy (in 2020, anyway), M4A is.

Reminder from PA Secretary of State

“We are the only ones that can actually declare results of an election or an election count being over," said Boockvar. “Everyone should have patience.”

The fifth day in a row, the US Postal Service moved fewer ballots on-time in critical battleground states than it did in the previous day, according to new court filings.


5 of those states do not count ballots received after election day, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, New Hampshire and Maine.

Just 52% of the Atlanta district's ballots, and 69% of ballots in wide swaths of North Carolina moved on-time on Sunday and Monday, the USPS reported. The two districts had the lowest processing scores in the US.


Fewer than than 80% of ballots in Pennsylvania and Ohio were moved on time, with Central Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley sinking into the low 70s. Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Maine all had processing scores well below the 90% mark.

USPS says the delays are due to staffing shortages.

A more simple time it seems, and catchy jingle too.

When he was Supreme Allied Commander during the war, they had to tell Ike to be more discrete with his mistress, but he seems to have gone straight by the time he became president (unlike a few others).

I think she wrote a couple of books (I Was Ike’s Mistress - something like that.)

I love that title. Supreme Allied Commander Europe. SACEUR.

Better than President.
