Day 238, and the Republicans are about to really lose it...

• Just about time to install Joe Biden as presumptive President-elect.
• There will, however, be at least one state recount:  Georgia.
• The Oakland Raiders were fined for violations of the NFL coronavirus policies -- and, for repeat offenses, not only was the team fined half a million dollars, Jon Gruden was fined $150,000, and the Raiders forfeit a sixth-round draft pick.  Penalties which owner Mark Davis then later called "draconian".  That's a good way not to win another game this season, Mark.  You should know from how bad the league was against your father.  Put your goddamn masks on or be without fans NEXT SEASON too!
  
• And they aren't alone in being fined -- the Steelers and their coach were also fined -- team $250,000, coach $100,000.  Mask violations.
• Utah-Arizona is off due to COVID concerns, joining another game (Louisville-Virginia -- ten Louisville players plus others positive) which has been deep-sixed and probably won't be rescheduled.
• A second Conference USA game was called off this evening.
  
• Olbermann: 

• Mark Meadows, Trump's chief of staff, has tested positive for the virus.  As it is becoming clearer BY THE HOUR that there is very serious concern of a violent backlash the moment this election is called for Biden.  Otherwise, it should be called.
  
• Justin Turner will not be punished for violations after a positive test before Game 6.  Partially because MLB is fucked up, partially because MLB fucked up, and probably completely because he'd already exposed the entire Dodger team in any event!    
• The Patriots, Dolphins, and a third team have all been exposed enough that they have entered intensive NFL coronavirus protocols.  This season is not going to work, people!!!!
