    This is probably better suited for the bourbon thread but I don’t think I’ve ever jumped from a glass of blantons straight into a glass of stagg. Blanton'sis my go to bourbon, my favorite reasonably available bourbon. Going from that right into the stagg really smacks you in the face with how huge the stagg really is. 

    I'd like to hear more about this mythical land where Blanton's is "reasonably available"

    Up until about 2 years ago I could walk into my local liquor store and grab a bottle off the shelf at any time. After that it started getting more and more rare. 

    By a year ago it was hard to get. For Xmas my wife happened to somehow luck onto the PA liquor website and they had a bunch for sale with a 3 bottle limit. She got me 3 for Xmas. You had to have it shipped to a liquor store. A week after she got those bottles she got a call from the liquor store that her 3 bottles had arrived. So for Xmas last year I got 6 bottles of blantons. 

    thats reasonably available.

    Production values are mainly a function of providing enough funding to let visionaries do whatever they want. Throughout history, the visionaries in film have come from all sorts of ideologies; Birth of the Nation was taught in a class I took at UT, and we also looked at Lemi Riefenstahl and Sergei Eisenstein and the effects of Nazi and soviet propaganda respectively. The ultimate common factor I noticed was having a leader that pumped money into those programs.

    Michael Bay has no problems doing right-wing stuff. Fox News follows the same template news machine aesthetic very well because it has significant funding. Trump's administration just wasn't interested in producing more than WCW levels of production is all.

    Example:

    Dude a laptop from 2001 and a hacked version of photoshop can do better than this rinky dink shit.

    If I’m still alive in 50 years that will still be my favorite image of Trump’s presidency. A man so incapable of admitting that he has ever been wrong about anything in his life that, instead of admitting that he misspoke based on outdated information, he drew in his favorite fucking sharpie on a map that he expected ANYONE to believe that he was actually right all along. Holy fuck, what a clown.

    What is Pence’s motivation to do this? I would imagine he fucking hates trump and I can’t imagine he is delusional enough to think he has any chance at the 2024 nomination with or without such a stunt especially since any charges to come (other than tax issues which would likely not involve jail time) most likely will be from NY state

     

     

    Pence is definitely going to run in 24 and his only hope is to win the support of the Trumpers and be viewed as the only republican that supported trump when the election was stolen.

    Their ultimate goal is to reverse the PA Supreme Court's interpretation of the statute and invalidate the votes.

    But that's not going to happen until the Supreme Court reaches the case on the merits if it happens at all.  It won't happen on the "shadow docket" of interim or interlocutory orders.

    I am of the understanding that there are not enough of those "post election day" votes to make any kind of difference, whether counted or not.

    If Fox News was right last night there are about 4,000 of them in Philly. That would equate to a little more than 30k state wide. But they are meaningless because they are going to skew to Biden and he’s going to be ahead. 

    Trump thinks he’s going to get all or some of the Philly mail in votes invalidated because he doesn’t understand the reality of the situation surrounding his lawsuit about the poll watchers.

    I actually saw a Republican -- maybe Rick Santorum? -- say that segregating those votes was not legal and they should be rejected.  They are basically arguing both sides of the coin.

    Santorum at one point tried to claim that they counted them. They didn’t. They are sitting in shrink wrap waiting.

    The republicans just wanted them segregated and not counted. The Supreme Court wasn’t clear if they could be counted or not. Not added to the total count, just counted so we know the numbers.
