Yes it's one the funnier bits of this horrible event.

f*** Trump

Imagine if the GA SoS was corrupt enough to go along with this though. Scary thought.

Trash senators propped up by trash constituents.

Wow. Came here to post exactly this.

Not from the UK, but I would think Brexit would a big and relevant development since the last referendum material to a lot of people's votes. Especially given the overwhelming rejection of it in Scotland.

Can someone clear this up for me? Can Trump really pardon himself right now? Don't you need to be convicted or have pled guilty to formal charges to be pardoned?

This is sad. RIP.

Can his case end up in the SCOTUS on appeal? Or is the state supreme court the final appellate authority?

I'm hard

DoJ + SDNY will be enough to take Trump down

A big challenge over the next few years will overturning the influence the lying right wing press has on rural America

Why not tax someone who rides the bus, because he's not contributing to gas taxes or the occasional traffic ticket, or the economies of auto sales and car insurance?

See how stupid that is? So is a WFH tax.

This, pretty much. The article is right - taxing individuals based on their engagement with the economy is dumb in part because it's impossible to identify an objectively "acceptable" level of engagement.

Simpler alternative is to increase securities transaction taxes - make money off of those who made money in the stock market.

It's recognition that democracy there is dead. They're making a statement that they're done pretending and giving Hong Kong the false illusion of a standing democracy. There's no point if they can just be tossed out for vague reasons if they vote against whatever the CCP wants anyway.

In this case, the other side was going to get what it wants no matter what. This just robs them of the ability to claim it was democratic.

This. It's sad to see Hong Kong go down this way.

Is the implication that Stacey Abrams registered only progressive voters?

Unnecessary but not undeserved

Wow no wonder Trump took Texas by that margin

Politics isn't easy mirite? She should learn from Bernie about sticking it out.

Man I wish there were some recordings of this

Georgia has 2 runoff elections in January. They will win at least one Democratic Senator in Raphael Warnock and after the Biden win, hopefully voters turn out for John Ossoff so we can add 2 dems and be at 48 Dems, 48 Republicans, and 2 independents.

Only one independent or republican has to vote with Dems, and then Kamala can cast a tie breaking vote

How do you see a path for Warnock? If you combine the votes for the two R candidates in his election, he lost by a landslide.

**** Trump

Unlike Bernie, AOC is not particularly mature. Don't see her being capable of building any kind of support base other than hard left progressives. People who are asking her to run for the highest office as soon as she is eligible will see her lose fast. She needs some of the maturity that comes with age.

Well done America

One thing not many people are accounting for is that once mail in ballots in solid blue states like California come in, Biden is going to have a mammoth lead in the popular vote. No SCOTUS judge, however Red or however inclined to accept the technical grounds Trump's lawyers put before them, is going to support overturning that result. Maybe Thomas and Alito because they are hacks, but not sure about the others.

If this state holds for Biden it'll be the story of the election (and there have been some great stories so far)

As long as they're not intimidating election officials or are not otherwise getting violent, they can do whatever they want imo

this shit is delicious bro, they're literally exposing themselves to people who might not have realized that

Who are these people who might have not realized? All groups swayed by them either shares their beliefs or is more than happy to turn a blind eye

iirc, historically between 2:1 and 3:1 republican:democrat. but it might be closer to parity this year than normal with all the trumping the president was doing.

I see. Thanks. If the historical pattern doesn't change, though, Biden may not be able to flip GA given that large proportion of military ballots in the remaining vote

How do military ballots typically go? Red or blue?

Still trusting AP's call

I have found Phil Mattingly's analyses to be particularly informative and engaging. Boy knows his stuff

I would rather his cult stick to praying than resort to violence and intimidation

I just saw a statement from NV that they expect they'll be impenetrable to a Trump challenge. It could really be that NV and AZ are doing their best to prevent f***ery from legal challenges.

On CNN's election feed

I totally agree. Given the ****ery Trump and his lackeys are capable of, better to have this than a fast count.

Are they legally allowed to count these votes?

Much fewer Green Party voters than previous elections though, right? Looks like Dems or voters leaning to the left did rally behind the "no-third-party-vote" principle in large numbers.

Wouldn't Libertarian voters be more likely to vote Republican if Jo Jorgensen was not on the ballot?

Great success

Why didn't she offer to help then?

Limited brain power from all the knocks to the head

They can **** off now

Yes, by trump officials

I would really like biden to take PA or GA as buffer to make it harder for trump to get a particular state's count set aside.

Polling can exist but people need to learn to what sort of reliance they need to place on polls

Can the judge do anything about it except hold the postmaster general in contempt?
