The media waited until they were absolutely, positively, unequivocally certain before officially declaring Biden-Harris the winners. Trump is officially a lame duck, but he will no doubt trash the place before leaving at Noon on January 20th.

Update: There will be a point in the next few weeks when Trump’s tweets will no longer be of ‘public interest’ when Twitter will no longer feel obliged to put up with his violations of the ‘terms of service’ and can cancel his account while preserving the past tweets for the National Archives. That will hurt him as much as the loss of the election.
