Biden now has the lead in Michigan. I just woke up after a couple hours of sleep, so I have no clue what his odds of holding it are.

Big. There's a good reason Biden is now the clear favorite to be the new US president.

The US officially withdraws from the Paris Climate Accords today.

It's bizarre (but not surprising) that the president himself simply seems incapable of understanding the simple fact that votes are counted in different orders and so swings either way were entirely expected. 

 

He is more and more like the kid who can't have a candy and gets angry about it.

And her sister Helena too 

I had never in my life heard of Helena, Montana when I read this a while ago. Then half an hour ago I was walking while listening to a podcast.....and I kid you not, Helena, Montana of all places was mentioned

Especially as it's mainly due to republicans that it's how it's done.

Helena is the capital of the state, but it’s not a big city (I wouldn’t even use the word “city” to describe it). The more notable towns in Montana are Missoula, Billings, and Bozeman, the later of which has floated the idea of a Winter Olympics bid on a few occasions.

Bozeman, which I only know from the aforementioned Big Bang Theory scene  

 

Is Montana like North Dakota? You know, "North Dakota, we're not even the best Dakota!"?
