@Steve1thebuilde That makes two of us! 😎

Great hoax, my rear. Here I sit in the ICU with a COVID-19 diagnosis with all sorts of treatments being applied to try to keep me from dying from this thing.

No fun.

[Charlie Summers @CFSummers]

@C_hrissyMiller Thanks, kid - love you all, too. Hug the kids and keep them safe.

[Charlie Summers @CFSummers]

@GShinjin Thank you, my friend. Will hold onto those wishes - folks in hospital are being great, risking themselves to keep me in one piece.

Isn't like they have any marketable skills other than grifting, so being in the seat of power gives them covers and protection... https://t.co/nt6jULLweq

Screw the Secret Service. I want to see the military stick an assault rifle in his back and shove him out the door. https://t.co/9Q5B26MLdj

[VANITY FAIR @VanityFair]

Trump has signaled to allies that the Secret Service will have to drag him from the White House kicking and screaming https://t.co/hGxPyyAHNs

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney: “I think what the president needs to do is, frankly, put his big boy pants on."

The @washingtonpost cute little AI "results for where you are" is an epic failure, because it depends on IP geolocation which does NOT work. I am in Pennsylvania. I am using a VPN exiting in New Jersey.

Clair is giving me results for Virginia.

Any politician prefers to deliver a victory speech, but a gracious concession speech can do much to honor a defeated candidate. Some of the best:

Bush 41 in 1992: https://t.co/vtIwxJ9Dsn

Gore in 2000: https://t.co/gH17eoq8VM

McCain in 2008: https://t.co/NBlaAkMoYq

Even as America has been riveted by the election drama, doctors, nurses, orderlies, paramedics, and all the others on the medical front lines have been battling a deadly pandemic made worse by a horrendous government response. Let’s remember these heroes as well this morning.

[Charlie Summers @CFSummers]

Being sick at any time is no fun, but for a news geek like me this is the WORST possible time. Not tracking all this in real time, instead catching up once/day if that, is killing me.

[Adam Kelsey @adamkelsey]

Important Pennsylvania point, since many Republicans are saying otherwise:

ABC News has confirmed that ballots that arrived *after* polls closed on election day are *not* currently part of the vote count.

They're being sequestered at the moment as the legal fight continues.

[Michael McKean @MJMcKean]

Fucking hilarious.

[Charlie Summers @CFSummers]

Of course they are... https://t.co/XFiWqB9M4n
