Wait, so does this mean that Trump has finally conceded? Or are we in some weird Schrodinger’s election where he still claims he won, yet also claims he is the one allowing the Biden transition to move forward?
This “man” doesn’t represent every conservative.
But he represents an alarming number of them, at least on this one:
I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump never actually concedes; it’s like Fonzie from Happy Days being physically incapable of saying “I’m wrong.” After Michigan certified, the writing was on the wall, and the pressure from the GOP to stop obstructing the transition likely increased.
I suspect that he will insist, until the day he dies, that he actually won the election, if one were to count only the legitimate votes.
This.
He will never admit he lost and never concede. He will maintain forever that the libruls and socialists stole the election from him, and he only backed off 'cause he’s such a good guy. He removed his knee from Emily’s neck overtly “for the good of the country” (as if that was a reason for anything he has ever done
), but in fact, because of the prospect of losing financial support from corporations. I don’t think he ever feared the wrath of the Republican party because he (correctly) knows that NOW and probably for the immediate future, president or not, he is the Republican party. And they can have 'im!
Or even #NotMyPresident Biden
And some damn fine chocolates.

Trappist Ales. Thank you, Belgium!

Both of you can have my share of the beer and ale if I can have your chocolates.
… the Grand Palace. Oh, and the canals.
… OK then. Apart from waffles, chocolate, the beer (Trappist ales), the Grand Palace and the canals, what have the Belgians ever done for us?

Hercule Poirot!
That sounds like an eminently fair trade. Done!
It sounds like the Biden transition being officially Belgians would be met with rousing acclaim.
And toasts 
and desserts 
!!
One of the many splendid traits of the Trappist monks is that they knew that you (well … that they) couldn’t just drink all day.
I give you …
I, for one, welcome our new Belgian overlords.
We’re going to have to learn to speak Belsh.

Toward that end, I highly recommend the Flemish series Professor T. It’s fascinating to hear the blend of Dutch, German, French, and English that (apparently) is spoken in the north of Belgium:

Just as he insists that he actually won the 2016 popular vote, due to the (made-up and incorrect) “fact” that Hillary’s 3 million-vote margin was 100% made up of “illegitimate” votes.
Trump has never lived outside a dream world. He’s not about to start living in reality now.

A pretty good movie? “In Bruges.”
On edit: I forgot about “Professor T!” Excellent show. I love listening to the mix of languages.
