Mitchell is also leaving in January, so it's purely symbolic. He specifically calls it out in his letter, though, so it's not like he's pretending otherwise.

For those interested in election betting, all of the "iN cOnTeSt" states are back down to 0.94 after being up as high as 0.97.
It is possible they dip back to the 0.89/0.90 range if the MAGA crowd gets desperate and delusional again about the elector route. I've already see a change in attitude at TD. Basically free money if it dips in that range so keep an eye out. --- Moops? "I thought you were making up diseases? That's spontaneous dental hydroplosion." ... Copied to Clipboard!

And the tally was just read for CA's Presidential vote. 55-0 to Biden as expected; no faithless electors. (They're now voting on VP but yeah)
EV count (for president) now at: 302-232. The only 4 Electoral Votes yet to be cast are Hawaii's and as I mentioned this morning they plan to vote at 7 PM Eastern. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard!

He switched to Libertarian in April and announced an exploratory campaign for President under the Libertarian nomination but cancelled that in May. And in July he announced he wasn't seeking re-election for his House seat. He didn't run in the Republican primary. He received, but declined, the Libertarian nomination for his house seat. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Apparently the Hunter Biden tax investigation was ongoing for months and Barr made sure it stayed secret until after the election. He must not have told Trump about it either. Kind of a shocker, but Barr handled this much better than Comey did!

Most of the country didnt choose to go this route, theyre just stuck in a weird system devised by a bunch of long dead people that allows a smaller group to have disproportionate power. They dont deserve this.Minority protections in a tri-branch system of checks & balances isn't a weird system. It's the longest running federal system in modern history and has been copied many times by other countries. What's weird and undeserved is the erosion of balances, especially in the legislative which is explicitly meant to be the voice of the people. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = azuarc ... Copied to Clipboard!

its so wild that there are still people buying into this like its more likely that every Conservative in a position of authority who they previously trusted have just simultaneously decided to sell Trump out than Trump just being wrong This. For there to be a conspiracy to get Trump out of office regardless of the vote, there would have to be so many people of both parties in on it that you might as well just draw the conclusion that lots of people wanted Trump out of office. Donald Trump never won a presidential election on his own merits. He was just there at the right place at the right time in 2016, and it turns out 2020 isn't 2016. And yes, this does mean I believe Joe Biden did not win this election on his own merits either. --- Why do people act like the left is the party of social justice crusaders? ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Senate in particular I think is about to completely turn heel and start shifting the message.
Not just because the college, but GA early voting for the runoffs yesterday demolished the first day early voting numbers for the presidential election, with an even higher Dem turnout ratio. Not good for them, obviously. Trump is about to be abandoned en masse in favor of the runoffs. --- ACAB ... Copied to Clipboard!

IIRC reporting was saying that McConnell was trying to keep the Senate in line and not go full crazy "reject the certified electors" like the House seems priming to do so yeah, the EC vote probably is going to be the turning point for them.
Still only need one Senator to turn January 6 into a circus though even if it'd be an entirely futile gesture. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard!

I got into an argument with someone who proclaimed that the electoral college gave Trump all the swing states (what?) and that the EC certifying the results means nothing because they still need to be taken to the Senate to be counted by Pence. Actually this just sounds more stupid the more I realize, I have no idea why this worried me into thinking Trump won the election.

New excuse why the election results must be fake: they don't follow the trend over the past 20 years shifting away from both Republicans and Democrats. Yes, because elections must follow trends. And more nonsense about Hillary Clinton having more force behind her than Joe Biden did behind him, although that may be true in a sense.

The former HPD captain told authorities the repairman was hiding 750,000 fraudulent ballots in a truck he was driving, but it turns out he had air conditioning parts and tools. Aguirre allegedly never told police that he had been paid a total of $266,400 by the Houston-based Liberty Center for God and Country, with $211,400 of that amount being deposited into his account the day after the incident.
