GET OUT: US politics November 2020

i feel uncomfortably similar to a medieval peasant eagerly awaiting the beheading of some bigtime asshole noble

would rise early, race for good spot at olde gallows

i've gone hungry for the last 3 days because i've been saving my best onion to throw

My family and I will sing the most spiteful Organum.

I don't hope Jr dies from it, I just hope every time he nuts from here on out, green stuff comes out

The MI GOP leaders told Trump they desperately need coronavirus relief money and that they’re not going to mess with the election result.

Seems like the pretty blunt implication here that the president’s focus on the latter issue is distracting from the former. pic.twitter.com/1gGA1o8Sl5

Xpost Haha. Nice try Donnie

TRUMP: Don’t let the virus kill me! I’ll give anything!
DEVIL: Very well. You will be spared. But in return, I will need your first born s-
TRUMP: Deal.

h/t Ned:

It's the first time since 1944 a Democratic presidential candidate has carried Virginia by double digits. https://t.co/rnbATEzRwv

P good statement by those Michigan guys tbh

It occurs to me we could loose a few dozen congresspeople in the next few months

TURN 'EM LOOSE

Gotta have it their way

Sounds like the MI figured they might as well use the opportunity to do something good for Michigan.. unfortunately Trump is in no mood to govern.

A little detail, BTW -- consider that second sentence

Donald Trump Jr. adds to dozens of people associated with US president who have been infected by the coronavirus, including Trump himself.

Some aides have been more ill than they’ve let on, with rapid weight loss.

If GOP representatives die is there further election so the possibility of dems picking up seats or do they fill internally?

Virginia GOP record in statewide races this century:

President: Bush in 00, 04, nil thereafter

Governor: 1/5, Bob McDonnell elected 2009, indicted on federal corruption charges shortly after leaving office, convicted, though the verdict was overturned and the case remanded by SCOTUS eventually.

Senator: George Allen: won his first term in 2000, called an alumnus of my high school "macaca" on camera and lost in 2006 to Jim Webb of all people, who was succeeded by former Gov. Tim Kaine, of Clinton running mate fame. John Warner: won his fifth term in 2002, didn't run in 2008 due to being a thousand years old. Open seat won by former Gov. Mark Warner, no relation.

Stick a fork in it!

Not even two weeks ago:

It’s a miracle... just like that corona is over. 🙄 https://t.co/4OjgfvRvlR

Guess he shoulda gone to more concerts.

Is that Vid Rock?

More GOP Senators Have COVID Than Have Acknowledged That Joe Biden Won

When you even have the Trumpier types start to say it...

GOP Sen. Blackburn refers to Biden and Harris as “president-elect” and “vice president-elect”: https://t.co/dyk5p7gd3M

still 7-6 in favor of COVID

This is all getting very amusing

Fox News host Tucker Carlson continues to rip Trump lawyer Sidney Powell over her lack of evidence -- stating that many White House sources & Trump allies have told him they have not seen any proof of voter fraud from her either. pic.twitter.com/yuF8VXbmOU

Ben Shapiro's The Daily Wire just sent an email to its list urging them to "cut the cord" and instead subscribe to them, in part because Fox News called Arizona for Biden and "downplayed any questions about voting irregularities reported from the most important swing states." pic.twitter.com/bUU4sgUK5K

Some Trump supporters on Parler want to boycott the Georgia runoff — or even write in Trump’s name!#Genius pic.twitter.com/XpRu644jkO

hell yes

But I mean that's probably trolling

Oh could be...but with the way things have been invested over there, you never know.

Never donated to an election in another state before, but you bet I did for the GA runoffs. So go ahead and shoot yrselves in the foot all you like, GOPers.

It must be true

this is 5 minutes and 9 seconds of comedy. sidney powell says on newsmax:

- millions of dead people voted

- senate races were rigged too

-“we have a number of smoking guns”

-promises federal court lawsuits, not state

-her evidence is coming next weekpic.twitter.com/v8TvO3TS4T

Sidney Powell will gladly pay us Tuesday for a hamburger today.

*points, laughs*

Staff of U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn says she misspoke by calling Biden 'president-elect' https://t.co/R2pHp9L4YT

such courage

you all need to quit thinking of the election as an event. if you don't win on Election Day, you can win later! it's all about how you position the legos

shame that wasn't true in 16 though.

_Never donated to an election in another state before, but you bet I did for the GA runoffs. So go ahead and shoot yrselves in the foot all you like, GOPers._

Donate to Stacy Abrams’ org too or instead of the campaigns.

Good morning!

is it better not to point out the problems with them boycotting an election. or are they going to do exactly what the libs tell them not to to own the libs?
I mean the more people on that si8de boycotting to get their voices heard teh better surely.

It is illegal to donate to US electoral processes from overseas innit. Just want to check that cos it would be great to ensure taht good prevailed.
Also to make sure they continue having GOP maskless gatherings so there's more egalitarian distribution of the vid amongthose deserving of it.

How many people voted for that North Carolina far right candidate that Jaime Harrison promoted, ostensibly to trick his opponents into owning the libs to his benefit?

Totally not overcompensating or anything:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/21/donald-trump-jr-coronavirus-isolation

I guess it was always there to some extent but I’ll never not be amazed at how sweaty and desperate and performative conservatism has gotten post-Obama.

soc media is likely the major culprit there though, and it was probably always going to end up *this* at some point, regardless of Obama or Trump

Sincere thanks to all non-GA contributors to our Senate races, especially those helping Stacy get out the vote vs. those helping the campaigns and parties pay for more goddamn TV ads:

I read that headline as "Donald Trump Jr says he will pass time in Covid isolation by cleaning his gums" rather than guns.

well, yeah

Rubbing them, to be precise.

DJTJ - cleaning guns
Eric - cleaning gums
