  1. Dude, you know Ted Cruz is going to be checking Pornhub on the reg to see when the Amy Coney Barrett parody pron hits ...
  2. Are Social Distancing Sticks permitted at voting locations in VA?
  3. An update from Jonathan Last of The Bulwark on the WI / Foxconn "JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!!!" plan ... TL/DR - Wisconsin provided Foxconn with billions in subsidies and in return got a whopping 281 jobs ... You mean that the corporate welfare for which the Rs always advocate never works out for the public???
  4. Yes, if Biden wins PA + WI + MI + MN + NV + NH, that puts him at 278. That's why the Rs have been jacking with PA so much - they really need to be able to contest one or more of those states. Of course, the fact that Biden is also leading in AZ, FL and NC means that they're going to have to unveil some master class fuckery pre- and post-election.
  5. I keep waiting for the payoff from all of the villainous buildup in this simulation (a la 1:56 in this clip): I don't know why I get my hopes up. To quote the bishop, "there is no God."
  6. Just curious - is there anyone in the D slate that is so egregiously bad that I should consider voting L / 3rd party? At this point, I refuse to vote for anyone with (R) after their name, but would also love to avoid electing any absolute loons. Sorry in advance if this was already asked and answered.
  7. Good thing Trump solved that NK issue and that they're no longer a nuclear threat ... Prepare your asses - Trump's going to arrange a first strike in the coming weeks.
  8. My understanding is the runoff will be held at the start of January, and intervening events (including Coney Barrett's appointment and the ACA case before the Supreme Court) may help drive Democratic turnout in an election where Trump will not be on the ballot. Not sure if it will be enough to overcome the apparent R lean in GA, but who knows.
  9. It would appear that it doesn't take much to make Steve Schmidt go off like a scorned ex-wife ...
  10. The Dems really need to get to 51 because I just don't think they can really rely on Manchin for anything significant.
  11. We might get rid of Mitch as Senate Majority Leader, which definitely wouldn't have happened without the bright light being shone on the GOP majority's rank hypocrisy.
  12. Of course that's what they're doing. Trump realized that, after throwing his bitch fit on Twitter, the failure to get a second stimulus done was certain to get laid at his feet. I don't think Mitch and the GOP senators had any intention of approving a stimulus bill in the $1.5B + range, especially without protection for his corporate overlords. Layer in the fact that it's become clear to Mitch that Trump is very like to lose in November, and I think that Mitch is now intent on laying the groundwork for a significant economic downturn following the election. I mean, what better way to get those swing voters back on the GOP side than having Biden take office and the stock market crash in the weeks / months after? Just watch - we're going to be hearing "look at how the Dems killed our economy" and "we have to get control of our national debt" for the next 4 years, and a good portion of the country will buy it.
  13. Just waiting for Bill Barr to step in and explain that this is just "self-defense" against Whitmer's attempts to re-institute slavery through quarantine (and NOT slavery of the right people) and that all charges will be immediately dropped.
  14. Hopefully, the story about a second mistress isn't true. The only stories I've seen refer to a story on NationalFile.com - this one: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/national-file/ I suspect that this is the GOP smear machine kicking into gear here, but I suppose that we'll find out soon enough.
  15. That's going to leave a mark, especially in light of the historical Rasmussen results: 9/9: D+2 9/16: Even 9/23: D+1 9/30: D+8 10/7: D+12 That would seem to be a trend ...
  16. On PBS, they said the 123 cases was back to March.
  17. Is this like Parscale's Death Star foreshadowing? Because if so, I'm all fucking in.
  18. If he doesn't end up having to be re-admitted to WR, the next few months are going to be an absolute COVID disaster ...
