Election Day [Week][Month[s]] [Year] 2020 follow-along thread

Without the trump name attached to his comments, no one will listen. Heck, a lot of people are going to stop listening to him in any case. At least I sincerely hope so. trumpism needs to be consigned to the dustbin of history.

Best joke I’ve seen today, and have now stolen.

“Only way Trump gets to 270 now is with diet and exercise”

I don’t believe the Australian parliamentary system for choosing the Prime Minister is hugely different than the UK system, and here a faithless parliamentarian is entirely possible, if unlikely. Suppose a party has a leading minority after an election, and has the ability to create a coalition with another party in order to form a government with the most minimal coalition majority. Two MP’s from either the leading party or the coalition party announce that they are unwilling to support the coalition, and will instead be independent and support the opposition. If all the MP’s from the other parties support the opposition, they’re no longer the opposition and you have a different government and Prime Minister.

I won’t relax until I see Biden take the oath of office in January.

(And then we start with McConnell and the new Supreme Court so the slog is only starting.)

I was an Ayn Rand fan when I was 17. We all have our phases.

Gotta look for a list of Trump’s Executive Orders. Just rolling those back will be a HUGE improvement, not to mention enacting new ones moving in the OTHER direction. :smiley:

Stacey Abrams for DNC Chair!

This.

And, sadly, this.

Did I read it here or someplace else that Mitch said he plans to block confirmation of all of Biden’s cabinet officers?

Maybe it’s just me, but on NBC, Chuck, Savannah and Hoda seem to have dropped their veneer of neutrality and sound positively giddy.

Looks like Biden is now up 1100 in Georgia, still very narrow. Need that to grow.
NC won’t friggin move. Bastards! 94% reporting.
PA is still 7000. 98% reporting
AZ is 47,000. I would like them to report soon. 90% reporting.

I’m going to leave my Biden-Harris sign up in my front yard for the next 4 years, regardless.

Hadn’t heard of that, but Trump avoided confirmation procedures for a lot of appointees (not Cabinet, as far as I know) by appointing “acting” such-and-such.

as expected Trump says he will never concede.

Thanks drm, I appreciate it! I hope to God it’s just a phase. I’m hoping now that trump is history he’ll find a more appropriate hero.

Maybe he can find a nice villa in Vichy, France. As long as they don’t want cash.

Or a dacha…

In a city where the tradition is to keep the Christmas lights up all year, this is just puro San Antonio.

All my signs are still up as well!

Look, it’s very simple:

  • Democrats told their voters to vote by mail, and they did.
  • Trump told his voters NOT to vote by mail and to vote in person, and they did.
  • · In-person votes are counted before mail-in ballots; thus:
    • First-counted in-person returns showed a Trump lead
    • Later-counted mail-in returns show a Biden lead
  • Legal ballots postmarked before the polls closed, but received after the polls closed, have not been counted yet (as of 10:00 EST 11/06/20).

Trump complains that he’s being cheated. But he’s ALSO bragging that Republicans made gains in Congress. They’re not separate ballots, folks. They’re the same ballots. Trump supporters may not know this, but people are not required to vote for representatives of the same party as their choice for president. It’s called ‘splitting the ticket’.

Bannon talks like a smacked ass. Why has no one slapped the smug right off his poxied face yet?
