The reason it's worded the way its worded was because it was a reaction to how Bush had a rough transition cause he started so late(cause it took a while to steal Florida). And yet...

I imagine he was still the pick for SC until Ginsburg died of hubris. Getting humiliated and/or ignored by the Republicans only increases the opportunity for an Epic Clapback down the line.

If nothing else, there's certainly no recounts after the results are certified, and recounts take time. Also "eventually getting a result you like" is not statistically a thing unless the count is extremely close. Sorry that doesn't exactly answer the question, just applying a bit of common sense/context.

If Trump org isn’t committing tax fraud then they have nothing to worry about, they shouldn’t be indicted.Just ignore their charity scams and trump university.

ReidRansom posted:Sounds awful, so it's probably true. If Democrats win the Georgia special elections, appointing him to something lets you put a younger judge in the DC Circuit (one of the most important circuits), though I would lean more towards Doug Jones as well. But remember: right now, the transition team's job is to scrub the histories of a lot of potential candidates so Biden has options. Garland is a very safe addition, because you know that he passed that scrubbing already so it's very little extra work. Jaxyon posted:No. The answer is always no. Tax fraud is an excellent way to put a trump in jail (it tends to be pretty open and shut), and there's a lot of NY prosecutors that would like to do that.

A few months ago a cable fell and damaged the dish, then while they were trying to figure out how that happened one of the big structural cables that holds the whole thing together straight up snapped, casting doubt on all the rest of them and making it unsafe to even investigate. It'll have to be demolished (if it doesn't spontaneously do that to itself in the near future) and then we can start entertaining the idea of building a replacement if the money can be found.

Clinton raised $5.3 million in transition funds. Bush raised $3 million. Obama raised $4 million. Trump raised $6.5 million. It doesn't sound like this is a big deal unless you're specifically out there looking for things to be outraged by. I'm looking for a more authoritative source than CNN but it doesn't sound like you can legally use campaign funds for your transition fund: quote:But transition funding is a separate pot, and subject to different laws. The transition teams set up separate, tax-exempt organizations known as 501(c)(4)s where the money can be raised. The limit per individual is $5,000, by law, and private donations are disclosed publicly.

So, GA has certified, AZ has no more active challenges, MI has no more active challenges. Pretty sure this means that Trump no longer has enough active challenges so that even if they were all granted and all those remaining electors went to him he would still lose. edit: JohnCompany posted:If you're Garland, why do you take a demotion from current chief judgeship (and lifetime judgeship) on the second highest court in the country to a two-five year term as AG? I doubt that Garland wouldn't have been quietly asked if he would like to be considered before they started vetting him.

I'll be super happy if that day comes but I sure wouldn't bet money on it.

sexpig by night posted:yes, you just do the good thing for everyone and spoiler alert: they'll like getting free money and healthcare. They'll just justify it with their usual bullshit 'well actually I earned it by working hard and paying taxes so this is fine' poo poo. I'm saying they won't vote for it or anyone who proposes it. Others have pointed it out and explained it a little. I mean, sure, none of them declined to cash that $1200 check of course but the GOP isn't interested in helping anybody and their base has convinced themselves that government helping anybody is basically anti american and rewards laziness. Hell, half of them would probably prefer we all got sent a free Bible, a gun and a flag or some poo poo. I had a manager at my last job that was upset that one of our guys we'd recently let go was eligible for the extra $600 UEI even though he'd been fired before the lockdown in our state and for the life of me I couldn't understand why she gave a gently caress. The answer is because she's a Republican and anyone below their tier deserves to suffer, plain and simple. I tried to explain to her that is was a good thing the government was doing and that the idea behind it is precisely to keep people sheltering in place but she looked it me like I had eight eyes. I'm sure she would have accepted it but that's really the entire point. Since this one dude got clipped a month before the extra benefits kicked in, he shouldn't receive them while he searches for a non existent new job during a pandemic. They're ghouls with heads made of granite. Look at that loving tweet from that Q lady who thinks Omar married her brother. Where do you GO with this level of discourse and weirdness?

I was just reading through the sharpiegate trial twitter feed. The Trump lawyer called his witnesses who testified that they filled out their ballots with a sharpie and then the voting machine accepted them... "So, you put your ballot in the machine" "Yes" "And it took it?" "Yes" "and your ballot was counted?" "Apparently" https://twitter.com/tomryanlaw/status/1329894176335413248 Even better: https://twitter.com/tomryanlaw/status/1329906702397755392 https://twitter.com/tomryanlaw/status/1329910810789912577 edit: This. This is the best effort Donald Trump can make to over turn the election. His presidency started with lovely doctored images of fake crowds at his inauguration and it's going out on a pile of laughably incompetent attempts to destroy the foundational principle of the democracy.

eviltastic posted:The fact that a major function of the public education system really is that it doubles as childcare aside, people who are that weirdly puritanical about hard work are often not hard to lead straight into leftist rhetoric because they haven't actually heard much of it before outside the usual noise machine crap. Skip past the words they've been taught to associate with people wanting to be lazy or get free stuff, and go straight to talking about how people working hard at real jobs should get to keep the value they create, or how child rearing is hard work and the people doing it deserve recognition for it, and you might get them nodding right along. But on the other hand have you heard about George Soros rigging elections so Democrats can drink baby blood and make everyone transgender communists? The people that think it's a weird coincidence that it's mostly GOP legislators getting the rona (that's fake anyway) when their the ones flaunting safety precautions? Let's reach out to people that think like this and speak reason to them. Maybe you really do have to force money and help down their loving throats I don't know.
