Sarah Burris: I think every time Don. Jr. tweets, the IQ of Twitter goes down. The words are coming out but surely I missed something--that can't be correct. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Rick: All I want for Christmas is for @Jack to throw the Trumps off Twitter so we never have to hear from them again. #RickShow
Rick:I can't wait till Trump goes back to FL & NY awards him some shiny new bracelets & a 6x8 cell
Sarah:Trump accused E. Jean Carroll of lying & she filed suit against him--she wants his DNA sample b/c she has something to compare it to.That's one hell of a souvenir @SarahBurris
Sarah Burris: We're to a point where we have a lawless president who's committed all these crimes. We need some precedent that says this will not be allowed & Trump will be punished for it. Can't we agree that crimes should be punished? @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: They're trying to find a lawyer who knows something instead of Rudy Giuliani--apparently his legal briefs were written in crayon. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: We HAVE to put the law first in this country. If we don't, who are we? @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: Before the count was even finished, McConnell already said Biden would have to choose really moderate people or they wouldn't be approved. Yes, because no president should have the people he wants to appoint. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: We have to work our butts off for the next couple of months. That will decide if we get to govern.
Rick: And restore the people to the voting rolls who've been kicked off in the last two elections. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: I asked a friend what we need to do to get people to show up for a special election & she said, "Coffee and donuts." Apparently that's all we need to do! However, during COVID, that might be harder to do. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: Giuliani has the look of loss in his eyes that my grandfather had while he suffered from dementia. You would think Rudy's loved ones would have him retire so he doesn't tarnish his legacy any further. How the mighty have fallen. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: Four years is a very long time. If you remember how Trump was in 2015, & you look at the change in him from then till now, there's a big change. Then imagine another four years in the future. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: My mom's favorite joke was to scream out "No collusion! Witch hunt!" every time someone started discussing politics. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Rick: I would love to be a fly on the wall when Lindsay Graham has to go look Biden in the eye after all the things Graham said about him.
Sarah Burris: He's going to have to eat crow & apologize to Biden for being an a$$. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Rick:There will still be fun things to talk about going forward [w/ Biden presidency].
Sarah Burris:We've relied on Trump for entertainment for so long. What will we do without him? He won't disappear, so it's not like we won't have anything to talk about. @SarahBurris@RawStory
Sarah Burris: I think there's something very wrong with the polling models. If you watch what Biden did & where Kamala went, they were in the states that are competitive. They weren't wasting time. Their numbers are probably more accurate than nat'l polls @SarahBurris@RawStory

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: We've had 111,000 new COVID cases today, and it's going to keep going up. Remember in Feb. I said every hour we didn't act would cost thousands of lives? We could have prepared for this fall but we didn't. @MtnMD#CoronavirusPandemic#CoronaVirusUpdate
Dr. Kelly Sennholz: I go back to the lily pond story where 1, 2 cases a day doesn't seem too bad, & then it suddenly blows up with the number of cases. It all comes down to math. The people who understand it are held captive. We just have to stay away from them. @MtnMD
Dr. Kelly Sennholz: I've been talking to physicians who told me they have patients who KNOW they have COVID but are walking around in public without masks b/c they think COVID isn't going to be that bad. @MtnMD#CoronavirusPandemic#CoronaVirusUpdate
Jessica Goodheart: This is the pandemic election. The pandemic itself really laid bare the extent of economic inequality in our country. Some people are doing okay while others, incl on front line, have lost their jobs. @JGOODHEART1@capitalandmain
Jessica Goodheart: The circumstances shifted Biden's platform. He became more of a candidate who was about change. People have expressed disappointment that the blue tsunami doesn't seem to have happened. @JGOODHEART1@capitalandmain
Jessica Goodheart: I wonder if not being able to do the normal election door-to-door part affected this election, but we still had a record turnout even without that part of the process. @JGOODHEART1@capitalandmain
Svante Myrick: We can get you a home mortgage in 20 min. We can sign you up for the Marines in 10 min. It takes us hours to vote. Why? It's by design by the people who want to silent our vote. @SvanteMyrick@PeopleFor@RightWingWatch
Svante Myrick: There are two groups in our country: Organized people, and organized money. The organized people want every vote to count. @SvanteMyrick@PeopleFor@RightWingWatch
Svante Myrick: What the Repub party is intent on doing is proving the federal gov't doesn't work. The first order of business for Biden is working on infrastructure. @SvanteMyrick@PeopleFor@RightWingWatch
Bob Ney: They need to fire a few people in the national news & hire me instead.
Rick: You were spot-on about the presidential race. You had your thumb on it the whole time.
Bob: In my map, PA goes to Trump, AZ to Biden. That puts Biden right at 270. @bobney
Bob Ney: I predicted the Dems would pick up 5 seats in the House but we lost some. I had the Senate at 50/50. @bobney
Bob Ney: I've been talking with former colleagues & staff members today. I'm watching some people say "The people have spoken." Yes, but the people spoke closely. If I were a Biden advisor, I'd be talking to him about what to do right off the bat. @bobney
Aixa Rodriguez: NY is now dealing with a hybrid plan. Teachers are trying to teach w/ windows open b/c we were told that's all the ventilation we needed. It's 41* in classrooms. It's either a COVID trap or hypothermia mill. @bxeu4j@BadassTeachersA
Aixa Rodriguez: We don't know what the plans are for the winter [ventilation in classrooms]. We still don't have enough electronic devices for each child. @bxeu4j@BadassTeachersA
Aixa Rodriguez: Some schools have put together boxes of food for students since some suffer from food insecurity. Someone did a fundraiser, raised $15,000, & bought laptops to donate to the school. @bxeu4j@BadassTeachersA
Robert S. Weiner: The GOP is throwing spaghetti against the wall & it's not going to work. The only changes made were for COVID accommodations. Otherwise, state laws haven't been changed regarding counting ballots. Trump's got nothing but creating a feeling of chaos.
Robert S. Weiner: Biden should be at 270 very quickly. I'm a little concerned about AZ but he's got NV, & if GA & PA come in for Biden...
Robert S. Weiner: Negative politics works, unfortunately.
