Let’s see… what was the advice given to us by Trump supporters after he won the election in 2016? Oh yeah, “Fuck your feelings, your candidate lost. Get over it, snowflake.” Seems appropriate here, now. ---

Elon Musk wants very very badly for people to think he’s cool, so he tweeted a photo of his nightstand - which features a replica painting of Washington crossing the Delaware, two toy guns, and four open cans of Caffeine-Free Diet Coke.

Cochise County AZ [is refusing to certify its election results](https://news.yahoo.com/conservative-arizona-county-refuses-certify-053736414.html). Not because they have qualms about _their_ processes — heavens, no! — but because something something Maricopa something fraud something something. What makes this an especially SRIOTD (if they follow through) is that Cochise is heavily conservative/Republican, so not including their results can only help the Democrats. Which is probably why they plan to revisit the issue on Friday, four days after the county deadline and six days before the state deadline. ---

> Hobbs’ office also threatened last week to reluctantly certify the state election results on Dec. 8 without Cochise County’s votes. Excluding the votes from heavily Republican county “would threaten to flip the victor in at least two close races — a U.S. House seat and state schools chief — from a Republican to a Democrat,” Oh, please, oh, please. ---
