    Seems to me that the Dem's "let the process work itself out" approach is nearing the end of its utility. What if they took a page from the Trump playbook? Start accusing Trump of various crimes, start a "lock him up" campaign on social media, and start blasting out information about sedition and treason for all involved. Threaten Emily Murphy with federal crimes. File criminal action against Trump's lawyers, including Giuliani, for frivolous lawsuits and contempt of court. Start an information campaign that Trump is only in it to avoid prosecution and to drum up cash for his own TV deal. Link the Republican super-spreader events are linked to 1257 confirmed deaths (I just made that number up, but who cares). Blast out photos of trump as tired and sad. Go on the offensive. 

    100%

    Dems are acting like this is the fucking 1990s. Get it together and go on the offensive. Instead, we've got the fucking president-elect begging civilians to crowdsource his administration.

    Have to say I’m proud of my parents. They voted for Trump in 2016 but since then have completely opened their eyes to the reality of what he is. Which puts them in a difficult spot because so many of their friends and family are Trump cultists.

    I worried that the influence of their deep-rooted social circles would drag them back into apologist mode. Nope. Instead, they’re speaking the truth and are backing away from longtime friendships and close family relationships. It’s got to be fucking hard. But they seem disgusted that people they love and respect have become brainwashed fools. 

    Same. My folks are lifelong republicans who abstained from voting in 2016. They thought Don was a chump, but that our institutions were too robust for him to do too much damage in 4 years.

    This year they both voted straight Dem tickets. Couldn't be prouder.

    How much of the blue’s food comes from the red areas?

    it’s almost like it should be a symbiotic relationship instead of adversarial. 

    Over 1/3 of the nation's vegetables and 2/3 of the nation's fruit and nuts come from California.

    There's also this:

    California ranks first in the United States for agricultural cash receipts followed by Iowa, Texas, Nebraska and Illinois.

    Ten states generate more than $10 billion in agricultural cash receipts:  California ($43,544,001,000 and 11.63 percent of U.S. total), Texas, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas, Indiana, Wisconsin and North Carolina.

    So of the top 10 food producing states, 4 of 10 are currently "blue."  

    Just food for thought.

    I haven't kept up with the news lately but recently decided to catch up tonight and WTF is going on? Dripping hair Rudy is rambling on like a fucking loon, Tucker is now too liberal along with Fox News, Tuberville confirms that Alabama is the dumbest fucking state in the nation, etc...

    Whenever I plug back in after being unplugged during the Trump era it's like returning to work only to find a bunch of midgets dressed like clowns having an orgy in the lobby while Rudy is in the corner performing a donkey show.

    wtf GIF

    Also, like half this board bought t-shirts with the philadelphia flyers mascot riding a lawnmower.

    TAMU Law? 

    I don't know how that's even possible. 

    No, I think a T3 in California. Before I arrived at that branch, a colleague took me to lunch with the express purpose of warning me about her. Called her the worst attorney he's ever seen in his 3 decades of practice. Told me to watch out bc she'd throw you under the bus too. I assumed he was exaggerating. Nope.

    I never want to hear any of you lawyers bitch about it being difficult to pass the bar

    There's always those few that make you shake your head. I worked with a woman who knew NOTHING about the law. She'd been a criminal defense attorney for like 6 years and didn't know basic terminology. But get this. She didn't understand case law. Like did not know what it was. Where you found it, how you are supposed to use it, precedent, etc.

    It happened after she asked me yet again for some advice on an issue. I told her to find some case law on it. I could tell, despite her agreement, that she had no idea what I was talking about. I asked her specifically "Do you know what case law is?" She said "Yes, I know what it is. I just have no idea where we are supposed to find it or when to know to use it."

    This woman has conducted multiple solo jury trials. I guess when judges ask her if she has a case on point, she always says "no."

    Mensa wanted, many of us said "Hell No" and the "scumbag contingent of UT athletics said otherwise."

    The ethical contingent got shouted down for the rape enabler and the drug dealer. You have had your say. You haven't delivered. Time to go another direction and that isn't deeper into an ethical sewer we should have never started down to begin with.

    He's right. We have no other choice but to hire Bill McCartney.

    Also, hey, you fucking TRUMPKIN PIECES OF SHIT -- you told us, unequivocally, that "COVID WILL MAGICALLY END ON NOVEMBER 4TH."  You insisted, stated it as a known fact.

    You fucking ignorant, brainless pieces of shit.  We're in a world of fucking shit, a week after the goddamned election, and this is just thing number eleventy fucking billion that you were wrong about and flat out lied about.  You live in a world built entirely of lies and delusions, so fuck you to hell.

    Incorrect. They said it would end when Joe is elected president and we all know that didnt happen.

    Dems have a major messaging problem, IMO. 

    The Dems have an inherent disadvantage. They are up against a party that runs what has consistently proven to be the most successful political platform in human history: invaders are coming to take your freedom, your jobs, and your identity.
