Does this mean our long national nightmare is over? Or should I still be nervous?

I think we're in pretty good shape, but I won't breathe a final sigh of relief until I see Biden take the oath from Roberts.

The pressure was mounting.
The money shot. Literally.

Apparently, the internal pressure went up on him, according to the NY Times. First, Schwarzman (the hedge fund guy, big Trump supporter) told him that it was basically over. And then, Meadows, Sekulow, and Cippolone went to him Monday and told him he could authorize the transition without using the word "concede". The Michigan board was the tipping point. Pennsylvania is set to certify, Georgia has already certified, and he needs three big states to flip to have a chance. (And Maricopa County has certified; the only county in Arizona that has not is the comparatively less populated Mojave County in the north.) | |||

His concession is now totally irrelevant to the process. It is only relevant to his supporters. He will never concede and they will never accept that he lost a free and fair election. That will continue to be the crux of the division that will not be healed. The right-wing noise machine will be proclaiming the illegitimacy of Biden's presidency continually for the next four (or eight) years. I also hope the new head of the GSA will review I-1's contract on The Old Post Office and sue I-1 for breach-of-contract. He violated the terms before his hotel even opened there... in typical fashion. Words on paper over his signature mean nothing to him because he has never been held accountable for contract violations ever before. He is trying to sell the hotel (which is only a notion, not the property itself because the property belongs to the Federal Government) and the best offer he's gotten is half of his asking price. The biggest sticking point is that the terms require that his name remain over the door. I'm guessing few people would want that albatross. But I digress.

I'm guessing Biden will get the actual briefing and notes, rather than the kids' paper placemat and four crayons version that I-1 gets.
