Sure thing! It’s a shame it can’t be recorded and I don’t know if they stream cases like some of the Court of Appeals do.

Edit: I’ll give them a call and ask.

2xEdit: ITS BEING RECORDED. They are just awaiting determination on if it can be released.

It seems like every few weeks someone is shocked to find that an MMA fighter and/or Rogan is a right wing weirdo.

Should probably not be a surprise anymore.

Just lovely views, I briefly had a personal trainer in manhattan beach, who it turned out, did training for mostly MMA dudes and porn stars. A bunch of stories there, but a lot of the MMA guys have weird views on stuff from what I'm encountered like they are mostly liberal / libertarian but then come out as a total Trump supporter. [eg Tito Ortiz] I suspect part of it is to "protect the brand" publically with their target audience is my guess.

20,000 votes seems like a ridiculous margin to contest, meaning for every ~800,000 votes ~5,000 would have to be thrown out or switched.


edit: or about 1 for every 160 votes approximately.

They will pay for it if they think fundraising based on having to pay for the recount will bring in more money than the cost of the recount.

That's typically only if it's outside a certain margin to keep campaigns from wasting public time and money.

If it's within a very narrow margin, there's an automatic recount paid for by the government. Above that, gently caress you, pay me.

If you want to waste the public's time, you better be willing to pay for it. Why should the state of Wisconsin foot an $8m bill for recounting votes they've certified already as good.

If there wasn't a bar to clear, they would just infinity demand recounts and never accept the results. In theory the amount of money you have to fund recounts is a reflection of your popularity and hence the odds of it being worth counting.

Seems like it might be working as intended

This is loving wild, that the President-Elect and the VP-Elect can't get a loving security briefing because the President can't handle his hurt fee-fees.

Also, some concerning names on there, why is McChrystal on there? I don't recognize most of the names but I know McChrystal famously hosed up and got pushed out.

He was the architect of the Afghanistan troop surge (a bad idea), and then badmouthed the President and civilian officials (got him fired).

Extra wild is they let him keep the 4th star in retirement, when they by all rights should have stripped it.
