this is actually the first Foo song I ever listened to, I didn't hear their earlier stuff until Rock Band

Foos are one of those bands that I understand are great and very talented but I don't get as hype for them as I probably should. Like Jack White, although lots of White Stripes songs bang

Episode was alright. 4 years ago the show was written around Dave, and this felt more like Dave just being thrown into sketches haphazardly. Neil Brennan brought closure to the Chappelle's Show mess with the 2016 election sketch/Walking Dead parody, and his absence from the writing was greatly missed tonight.

Loved Dave Chappelle opening with a long anecdote about his great grandfather, which you expect to turn into some profound observaiton about the promise of America, only to end it with a joke about how he gets no royalties from Netflix for Chappelle's Show.

Surprised we didn't see a reprisal of the "election night" sketch from 4 years ago:

That's a particularly pessimistic take! He's definitely gonna keep having a hissy fit but there isn't really a legal path back from this, even with the supreme court on his side.

I struggle to imagine him actually staying in the white house after January without the country going full molotov. Elected conservatives will be content to hold on to their do-nothing split senate and jettison the Trump liability.

I legitimately wanted to let everyone enjoy this victory this weekend before responding. I wrote this last week in the Wisconsin thread and it�s what�s been keeping me from getting much good sleep for the last ~~six~~ seven weeks.

Mackieman posted:
[Wisconsin state speaker and noted shitheel Robin Vos] is not actually involved with certifying the election... right?

The power to appoint electors lies with the legislatures, and they�ve been openly discussing their plans to take advantage of people�s ignorance of how elections work.

quote:
Trump�s instinct as a spectator in 2018�to stop the count�looks more like strategy this year. �There are results that come in Election Night,� a legal adviser to Trump�s national campaign, who would not agree to be quoted by name, told me. �There�s an expectation in the country that there will be winners and losers called. If the Election Night results get changed because of the ballots counted after Election Day, you have the basic ingredients for a shitstorm.�

There is no �if� about it, I said. The count is bound to change. �Yeah,� the adviser agreed, and canvassing will produce more votes for Biden than for Trump. Democrats will insist on dragging out the canvass for as long as it takes to count every vote. The resulting conflict, the adviser said, will be on their heads.

�They are asking for it,� he said. �They�re trying to maximize their electoral turnout, and they think there are no downsides to that.� He added, �There will be a count on Election Night, that count will shift over time, and the results when the final count is given will be challenged as being inaccurate, fraudulent�pick your word.�

The worst case for an orderly count is also considered by some election modelers the likeliest: that Trump will jump ahead on Election Night, based on in-person returns, but his lead will slowly give way to a Biden victory as mail-in votes are tabulated. Josh Mendelsohn, the CEO of the Democratic data-modeling firm Hawkfish, calls this scenario �the red mirage.� The turbulence of that interval, fed by street protests, social media, and Trump�s desperate struggles to lock in his lead, can only be imagined. �Any scenario that you come up with will not be as weird as the reality of it,� the Trump legal adviser said.

quote:
We are accustomed to choosing electors by popular vote, but nothing in the Constitution says it has to be that way. Article II provides that each state shall appoint electors �in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.� Since the late 19th century, every state has ceded the decision to its voters. Even so, the Supreme Court affirmed in Bush v. Gore that a state �can take back the power to appoint electors.� How and when a state might do so has not been tested for well over a century.

Trump may test this. According to sources in the Republican Party at the state and national levels, the Trump campaign is discussing contingency plans to bypass election results and appoint loyal electors in battleground states where Republicans hold the legislative majority. With a justification based on claims of rampant fraud, Trump would ask state legislators to set aside the popular vote and exercise their power to choose a slate of electors directly. The longer Trump succeeds in keeping the vote count in doubt, the more pressure legislators will feel to act before the safe-harbor deadline expires.

To a modern democratic sensibility, discarding the popular vote for partisan gain looks uncomfortably like a coup, whatever license may be found for it in law. Would Republicans find that position disturbing enough to resist? Would they cede the election before resorting to such a ploy? Trump�s base would exact a high price for that betrayal, and by this point party officials would be invested in a narrative of fraud.

The Trump-campaign legal adviser I spoke with told me the push to appoint electors would be framed in terms of protecting the people�s will. Once committed to the position that the overtime count has been rigged, the adviser said, state lawmakers will want to judge for themselves what the voters intended.

�The state legislatures will say, �All right, we�ve been given this constitutional power. We don�t think the results of our own state are accurate, so here�s our slate of electors that we think properly reflect the results of our state,� � the adviser said. Democrats, he added, have exposed themselves to this stratagem by creating the conditions for a lengthy overtime.

�If you have this notion,� the adviser said, �that ballots can come in for I don�t know how many days�in some states a week, 10 days�then that onslaught of ballots just gets pushed back and pushed back and pushed back. So pick your poison. Is it worse to have electors named by legislators or to have votes received by Election Day?�

When The Atlantic asked the Trump campaign about plans to circumvent the vote and appoint loyal electors, and about other strategies discussed in the article, the deputy national press secretary did not directly address the questions. �It�s outrageous that President Trump and his team are being villainized for upholding the rule of law and transparently fighting for a free and fair election,� Thea McDonald said in an email. �The mainstream media are giving the Democrats a free pass for their attempts to completely uproot the system and throw our election into chaos.� Trump is fighting for a trustworthy election, she wrote, �and any argument otherwise is a conspiracy theory intended to muddy the waters.�

In Pennsylvania, three Republican leaders told me they had already discussed the direct appointment of electors among themselves, and one said he had discussed it with Trump�s national campaign.

�I�ve mentioned it to them, and I hope they�re thinking about it too,� Lawrence Tabas, the Pennsylvania Republican Party�s chairman, told me. �I just don�t think this is the right time for me to be discussing those strategies and approaches, but [direct appointment of electors] is one of the options. It is one of the available legal options set forth in the Constitution.� He added that everyone�s preference is to get a swift and accurate count. �If the process, though, is flawed, and has significant flaws, our public may lose faith and confidence� in the election�s integrity.

Full read, and everybody should read it in full. But to make it short (and I reiterate: Read the full story): Trump will almost certainly declare victory on Tuesday night, when early results show him ahead, and probably even if they don�t, because lol, and then he will be on the trail and on the tweets, rampaging about fake ballots and magically increasing Biden votes as the millions of absentee ballots are counted over the coming days and weeks. You may see him holding rallies (these will not stop with the end of voting) and people chanting, �STOP THE COUNT! STOP THE COUNT!� And with the deadline approaching for the electoral college to convene, states with Republican-controlled legislatures may carry out this evil plan.

Point is, the only real hope of overthrowing the fascist is an overwhelming victory, on or as close to election night as possible... and that�s not likely.

Go read it

I was extremely heartened that the media at large has taken the approach of treating Joe Biden as the next president since Saturday morning, rather than giving Trump oxygen. But the slow burn is burning, and the point of all the lawsuits and recounts continues to be not to achieve results in the court of law, but to achieve results in the court of public opinion. After weeks of this poo poo, it�ll seem �okay� for republicans to ignore the will of the people.

I hope it doesn�t happen. Just being aware that this is the goal of the fascists. With any luck, they�ll be unsuccessful. I�m theorizing that this hasn�t been widely spoken of in the news media because they are actually acting responsible for a change and do not want to legitimize the idea by dint of discussing it as a possibility. But I�m a dumbass who writes about SNL so what do I know

P.S. Vos is already started on doing his part to destroy democracy.
