  1. The MAGAs on my time line are too concerned with dunking on Nancy Pelosi to worry about such petty things.
  2. All four officers are in court this morning for pre-trial motions, in a heavily barricaded Hennepin County Court House in downtown Minneapolis. Full docket of things, including separations of the trials, change of venue, and other things. Just getting under way, follow the thread for updates.
  3. I think it only got the Court back to 4-3, correct me if I'm wrong.
  4. Breaking this afternoon out of Planet Cheese:
  5. Looks like a total goat rodeo down in Madison. UW-Madison goes fully online for the next two weeks, and quarantines two dorms. https://www.kare11.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/uw-madison-shifts-all-classes-to-online-for-at-least-2-weeks/89-90c104d9-77bd-46fc-9f37-a5a42648e97e From that article: https://wkow.com/2020/09/10/uw-madison-students-in-several-residence-halls-begin-2-week-quarantine/
  6. I'll even give you another data point on Minnesota. On the same general election ballot as Mitt Romney were two state constitution amendments: one to ban gay marriage and one to mandate voter ID. Both measures were pushed hard by the GOP, both measures got more votes than Romney, and both measures lost by daylight. Also, the GOP Legislature that put the measures on the ballot were swept out of both chambers.
  7. I'd put Montana and South Carolina in front of either of the Georgia seats. Bullock is as good of a candidate as Montana has, and Leningrad Lindsey hasn't had to run a legitimate campaign in my lifetime.
  8. As for Wisconsin, I'm not quite sure what to make of the cheese heads. They voted for Scott Walker 3 times in 4 years, and the Republican Assembly that he brought along has been a stain on basic human decency. On the other hand, it was special elections here that showed the 2018 blue wave building up steam. And a "crawl over broken glass and through a pandemic to vote Democrat" vibe among voters earlier this spring when they were forced to vote in person for their primary. I have no clue what to expect.
  9. Nope. https://minnesotareformer.com/2020/08/24/a-fascist-manifesto-is-gaining-fans-on-the-right-including-state-sen-roger-chamberlain/
  10. The last 3 GOP statewide wins in Minnesota (Norm Coleman Senate 02, Governor Tim Pawlenty in 02 and 06) required three-way races and/or deus ex machina events in the deep stretch for races to go their way. The last Republican statewide win where the Republican candidate got more than 50% was 1994, and Arne Carlson has been thrown out of the party for being too liberal. Could a Republican win a statewide election in Minnesota? Sure. Will the current iteration of the GOP need to be burnt to the ground first? Yes.
  11. This piece was from June 24, but I didn't see it in this thread. 538: The Republican Choice
  12. The PRCA announced yesterday that the National Finals Rodeo won't happen with fans in attendance. https://www.nfrexperience.com/news/read/313?fbclid=IwAR1wfclS3wa36kOrLGN2iQujHtUMtstoIWitG-gPHF7XF73dl10yTso8MPA They're still working on other options, including moving out of Vegas for this year. Big loss for December.
  13. O/U is 5.5 rounds and I'm heavy on the under.
  14. I also like that everyone keeps pounding on the point that Donald Trump is a failure. Kamala is kicking ass right now.
  15. Put South Carolina up in the "live underdog" tier with Iowa, Montana, Georgia, Bama, and Favorite for Dem pickup: NC, AZ, ME, CO Favorite for Dem loss: Bama (although I'd love to be totally wrong) Live underdogs for a flip: IA, MT, SC, AK, maybe KS? Lottery tickets: KY, GA x 2, TX, and the rest McGrath is turning out to be an awful candidate against Moscow Mitch. The favorites coming in gets the chamber to 50/50. Somehow I think all the underdogs all go the same direction.
