GET OUT: US politics November 2020

will tell a story the rest of his life about how he didn't want to hurt the secret service agents

Imagine how bad his bathroom is going to smell by the end.

Yeah he’s not doing anything of the sort

Omg it's glorious reading him cry about losing his lead

he's going to create an alt-right version of GAthering of the Juggalos

I mean honestly you know what we all secretly want.

Like I'm not going to front: if Trump pulled a Budd Dwyer, I'd throw a huge fucking block party.

from the Perlstein tweet:

Rush's contribution is that that the only reason the CNN and the networks aren't calling it for Biden (having already, of course, wired Biden's victory) is to force Fox to do it, as a ritual humiliation.

I don’t know how much stock to put in Rushbo’s media evals but this is kind of funny if true

I KNEW IT

you know what fucking sucks is that we can't party because we're all stuck inside thanks to this moron

cheer out the windows, iirc, heartwarming videos sure to come

:)

Reminded of Saddam Hussein's spider hole... hopefully Trump can find something similar in the Rose Garden, where they'll never find him.

caek you should include the recount threshold along the y-axis

Biden now 20k ahead in PA

Notable update on the 538 live blog:

Biden will name Gary Gensler as an adviser on issues involving Wall Street and regulation of markets, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday. It’s not clear exactly what this means in terms of Gensler’s role, namely whether he will be advising Biden on which policies to propose as president, working during the transition to help Biden choose his presidential economic team or being positioned to take a key role on that team himself.

This news is interesting for two reasons. It suggests Biden is moving forward in trying to start planning his administration even though he has not yet been declared the winner of the election by most outlets. Also, Gensler is allied with Sen. Elizabeth Warren and favors more strident regulation of Wall Street, so this choice is getting plaudits from more liberal Democrats who have worried Biden might pick figures more resistant to regulations of Wall Street firms.

another Allegheny County ballot dump

🤞 xp

Nevada case denied in federal court. Judge even cited Kavanaugh as to why!

The PA votes have been coming in a trickle. Seems like the big thing to wait for is 60,000+ Maricopa County votes in AZ that have been promised for later tonight.

xp the accounts of the various hearings have been interesting, and the comments from the judges involved have been scathing

xp wow shots firedx

(that xp was to Ned, denying Kavanaugh legitimacy seems like big news?)

or am I misreading

xps re that PA dump

Allegheny County military absentee ballots just went 4:1 for Biden.

xp I think the judge was saying that federal courts shouldn't overrule state legislature/state court decisions, which was on of Kavanaugh's arguments

xp that is fucking awesome

fuck yeah re: military ballots

I happily stand corrected!

So calling fallen soldiers 'suckers' and 'losers' didn't exactly endear him to the troops...

Olds, troops, Kudlow, Limbaugh- welcome to the # resistance

Dan S is correct re Kavanaugh mention. Meantime:

In the middle of a bunch of false claims about the media and the counting process in his video, Giuliani, who is urging the president to keep contesting vote counts, does a commercial for a cigar store https://t.co/9shErDjcCJ

Btw the people who know still think Biden will win Arizona. If everyone calls it, then they are going to call it properly?

Trump still winning the late Pima drops, but not at all what he needed from this last batch. https://t.co/J9mRWG1FgU

Maricopa drop tonight could end it. https://t.co/NC17WmK3ki

At least Rudi kept his hands where we could see them.

Lmao saw a number of chuds claiming the PA military ballots could put Trump back in the race

how dare you insult cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers like that????

xp I think the judge was saying that federal courts shouldn't overrule state legislature/state court decisions, which was on of Kavanaugh's arguments

that was nice of you to explain (no sarcasm)

Wait do the people on this board understand “chud” as a synonym for Republicans

caek you should include the recount threshold along the y-axis

happy to! what is it?

Such skill

I asked Newt Gingrich what proof he had of claims he made on Fox News today about poll watchers being blocked from observing. A spox emailed back: “When Speaker Gingrich made his earlier comment, he was speaking on the best information he had at the time.”https://t.co/K9Jz99xepa pic.twitter.com/MVA2dPi7Ej

Aw

Breaking on @MSNBC: NBC's Pete Williams reports the Supreme Court has issued an order in the Pennsylvania case, but it’s not what Republicans wanted. Justice Alito repeats the guidance that post-Tuesday mail ballots must be segregated, but it doesn't direct them to stop counting.

looollll Newt

yes thanks Dan S I was super confused about that Kavanaugh thing

That’s my wife’s ballot in there.

thx mrs ed!

The margins are pretty thin relative to the outstanding uncounted votes in all four contested states that are leaning Biden right now, I guess it makes some sense that the networks are reluctant to call it just yet, but I don’t remember such an excruciatingly slow vote count like this in 2016.

My memory is that Sinema/McSally took longer than this, right?

Yeah, election was Nov 6, AP called it for Sinema Nov 12
