  1. I think the methods developed for accurate polling are now insanely outdated. It needs to either catch up with the times or it will just be junk science used to generate clicks during election season. In fact, that's probably where it's going to stay. Nate Silver still made a boatload.
  2. Quietly over $40 today.
  3. Today I learned that the Hodge Twins turned from social media comedians making fun of fitness trends to conservative pundits. Wild.
  4. So it was just laid out on Hannity by Kayleigh McEnany that they are bringing a time, manner, and place argument that their poll watchers weren't allowed to properly observe the poll workers, complaining about distance and not being able to see, specifically in PA. What she didn't do is lay out what PA law is regarding poll watchers. That leads me to believe that the law itself wasn't violated, otherwise she would have said it was. Looks like they are going to march into court and basically ask for the judge to legislate from the bench and have them declare that the poll watching laws are constitutionally insufficient. That is an insanely steep hill to climb, especially if the poll watching laws have been on the books for several elections with little changes.
  5. The intelligence community is not a fan of Trump. Too many assets and operatives left hanging out to dry and too much ground work that took blood to lay that was bulldozed over the last 4 years. If the CIA is cozying up, it's because they are looking for a spot to stick a knife.
  6. Let's take a look at the whole picture: all major NATO allies have now congratulated Biden. Even Turkey. If you think that NATO is going to allow its largest contributor, both militarily and financially, and the most technologically advanced nuclear power in the world turn into an authoritarian nation with favorable ties to Russia, you're out of your mind. I don't think the Trump family and Kushner have the stones to take it where it really needs to go for them to keep Trump as president. They're bluffing the hell out of it, but they're quickly running out of gas.
  7. Their party went farther right than they were comfortable with. The bulk of the active posters in here were Republicans in the old Cloak Room.
  8. Yeah, all this flailing over PA doesn't matter as long as AZ and NV hold. They can fidget spin all over the legislature and in front of the Supreme Court and Biden still has over 270. For Biden to not win, you need 3 of the 4 out if PA, NV, AZ, and GA to flip. If that happens, then we won't see stability in this country for a long time.
  9. Lotta profit taking here at the end. Red candlestick.
  10. Peak narcissism. "I wasn't wrong, you were just mistaken."
  11. Up almost 10% today. Time to start boat shopping...
  12. Pfizer gave the market a boner.
  13. Get ready for the conspiracy theorists going HAM on this news being released after Trump lost. As a Pfizer stock owner, they announced well over a month ago that they would probably have results some time in November.
  14. Dow futures up 300 this evening, right now.
  15. Trebek, Connery, and Reynolds gone. Someone needs to check in on French Stewart.
  16. Biden just quoted scripture more times in his acceptance speech than Trump in all of his presidency.
  17. I think SCOTUS is holding out on granting cert until AZ and NV are wrapped up. If AZ and NV go for Biden, it renders the PA decision moot so it doesn't matter how they rule. SCOTUS has until 11/25 to answer.
  18. McNelly looks nothing like his avatar. I much rather prefer his avatar.
  19. What matters now is the status of AZ and NV. SCOTUS has until the 25th to grant cert on the PA challenge. If AZ and NV turn blue, it basically renders the PA case moot because it would no longer matter who wins PA.
  20. Such a confusing and befuddling move that it got Lobo down to one sentence. That's how baffling it is.
  21. To expand on this, poll watchers can be partisan, but there has to be an equal representation of R/D/I in the room. Trump poll watchers wanted in, but there weren't any additional D or I watchers to allow the additional Trump watchers. Additionally, there are mandated distances that poll watchers must be from the ballots. They are entitled to watch the process, but are not entitled to access the personal information on the ballots. They are also not allowed to have cameras. The instance of throwing up the cardboard, which some of us saw live on TV, was because Trump poll watchers were not allowed in because the maximum were already in, so they took out cameras and tried to film from the other side of the glass. That is strictly prohibited unless a member of the media is doing it. Some claimed to be the media, but did not have acceptable press credentials. So far, all of the evidence is actually evidence that Trump poll watchers either didn't know about the poll watching laws or flat out ignored them.
  22. "Begun building the wall" was the very first.
  23. I'm sure Cruz is doing the circuit and complaining and saying what Trump COULD do, but what we haven't seen is Cruz, with extensive experience in election litigation, offer any legal insight as to how Trump can succeed. Nor does it seems like Cruz is hitting his rolodex and getting a coalition of legal hitters together to properly challenge the election. For example, I really want to know who recommended the Michigan attorney that slid that hot plate of garbage in front of the courts.
  24. I had this queued up if Texas turned blue. Karl Urban would have been Beto wearing a cowboy hat.
