and then The Mooch quit not long after joining

because Team Trump was too corrupt and incompetent for a wannabe mobster whose nickname is �The Mooch�

our landlord is selling our place b/c of covid and now i can't sleep, ugh

we have options (hell, we might even buy it if they don't ask for too much) but still loving sucks we may end up having to move. at least if we do we get a free month's rent though.

it brings me peace that trump is having a much worse night than i am though

why would you have to move if your landlord sells, do you not have strong tenant protections where you live?

also you could always negotiate with your landlord to buy the property, you might be able to do something like take over their mortgage

the reason you are seeing such hateful poo poo from the Republican Party is because their time is limited demographically and they know it.

i wish we had someone better than Biden but for this election the choice is between a bad milquetoast candidate and donald trump and given that choice I�m definitely voting for the milquetoast.

yeah, the Republicans are seriously worried that they may never hold this degree of power again, so they�re pulling out all the stops

assuming that we�ll wind up with an awful fascist as the Republican nominee in 2024 isn�t a stretch, but assuming it�s a foregone conclusion that they�ll win definitely is

for example, this could be the election that turns the right statehouse that puts the interstate electoral vote compact in effect�and a turned Senate could result in a favorable court when it�s inevitably tested

I'd say there's at least 50% chance Biden dies in office, and president copmala is, despite all her flaws, at least a youngish lady. That appeals to more people than ancient white man.

Anyway it's stupid to litigate stuff 4 years from now. You cross that bridge when you get to it. In the meantime, work on your local causes

you have to start litigating it now to have an effect at the national level four years from now

the most effective way of doing so is to take over the local parties and drag them kicking and screaming to the left

the squad was successful in doing so and successfully re-elected, despite the party working hard to ratfuck them in the primary and the right trying to outspend them in the general

now we need to do this to evil shits like Diane Feinstein in the Senate

I just figured they were some sort of streaming system of arguable-in-court legality (i.e. �every customer technically rents their own piece of hardware including ATSC receiver so it�s technically legal for them to stream the data from it�) rather than anything Epstein-adjacent

maybe nbsd should�ve asked a few questions or gamed out a couple scenarios before doubling down on his assumptions

the point of these lawsuits isn't to get anything accomplished. they're just milking their rube followers for more money. it's literally the only game trump knows

they�re also hoping to get a state to direct its electors to Trump despite the vote tallies because the votes �aren�t trustworthy�

and if they don�t win that way, they hope to send the election to the House, where each state will only get one vote

trump got even more votes than he did 4 years ago. the gop establishment are terrified of him and the base he commands, as evidenced by their refusal to declare biden the winner even when he obviously is. republicans are supposed to be about conservative values. what conservative values has trump EVER exhibited? yet they love him unconditionally. trumpism has taken over the gop in a way that the tea party movement perhaps suggested but never truly predicted. it took a trump to make trumpism. but now it's out there, and it's not going away, because HE refuses to go away, and his followers aren't going anywhere either (except maybe the covid ward)

this is probably why Koch is trying to rehab his image and profess to be more liberal (surprise: he�s not)

with Trump involved Koch and co can�t control either the message or the agenda

new zealand also implemented strong measures to keep it out, only difference being they were able to stop it at the border mostly, instead of quashing a local outbreak. i would hesitate to call those measures authoritarianism,

that doesn�t stop conservatives in the US and elsewhere from doing exactly that

they literally say NZ is suffering under tyranny and needs to be �liberated�

the messaging out of the Trump camp is that they need to �match signatures� as if the votes are all directly tied to individuals and can be matched

I don�t know about Georgia but I know that in some states they�re intentionally not tied together; a signature match is used to validate a vote, and then that vote goes into the pool

trump has backed into doing a thing or two that is positive and i am almost sure is entirely by accident

the ones he did on purpose he did for the wrong reasons

like he pulled out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which was good, but he did so because of xenophobia rather than because of the bad process during negotiations (giving giant companies a seat at the table but making everything else secret) or the specific bad changes to the law that would have resulted from TPP, such as criminal penalties for DRM circumvention and trade secret disclosure (which some people worried could have been a potential Constitutional end-run around California�s blanket prohibition on non-compete agreements)

basically �China bad� is the worst reason to oppose TPP but that�s why Trump pulled out

�taxes are bad and hard and complicated� is a meme that was systematically developed by right wing think tanks, focus-grouped on self-identified libertarians, and then rolled out to the larger public using fairly sophisticated marketing and advertising techniques (aka propaganda)

it was etched onto his mind intentionally, in order to justify lowering taxes (because taxes bad and hard and complicated) on the rich (which you too will be someday)
