HRC lost because polls showed a strong lead, so her campaign focused on winning purple/light red states at the cost of hammering home wins in blue-going-purple states, because they (fairly) thought that she’d need some kind of 300-point win in the EC to have enough of a mandate to prevent Republican fuckery after the…

On Sunday, we were feeling bored, so we drove out to one of those drive-through safaris where you can feed deer and llamas and whatever from your car, totally socially-distanced (well, not from the animals). Took our tiny 10-pound pupper, who barked his lil’ head off at an elk and tried to bite a zebra.

Harris County includes Houston, one of the state’s few Democratic-leaning cities.

The thing to remember is that the closer Texas is to tipping, the more money Republicans have to spend to hold it. It’ll also be good to get some national attention (half the reason high fructose corn syrup is in everything is that Iowa grows corn, and they’re a big purple state).

If the election is stolen, then what? We’ve already seen how mass protests will be brushed off as looters and rioters (complete with right-wing provocateurs causing a lot of the violence).

And lost in this calamity is the fact that, with one week until the 2020 presidential election, Trump hosted a rally in Nebraska, a red state with five electoral votes which are split using the congressional district method.

Recent polls have had Biden functionally tied with Trump in Texas. That’s a problem for Republicans because if Texas becomes reliably blue, no Republican will ever be elected president. That nukes their ability to, say, appoint extreme judges and SCOTUS justices who will overturn abortion rights and hand elections…

Keep in mind, that statement was made in support of the state’s right to impose its own rigid line.

I’m not sure if I’d agree that they won the war just yet. The Republican party is crumbling, especially as its base ages and dies. They’ve been unable to make inroads into new voter blocs, and they’re in real danger of becoming a regional party. Democrats have an immense opportunity to use this outrage to pass…

The fact that the dude didn’t post the DMs is maddeningly disappointing.

Of course! This is the same guy who got rich off of suing the folks that put him in that wheelchair, and then used his political power to ensure that no one else could ever get a settlement like his going forward.

at least three of her seven children attended its branch in South Bend, Indiana.

She wasn’t really a last-minute addition. She was on Trump’s 2017 list for the seat that Kav took.

This is the weirdest scandal, but it benefits from being impossible to walk through without a flowchart.

What I’ve found is super fun is to ask whoever it is complaining about the 4 dead in Benghazi to give their names.

This also underscores the potential that a less bombastic, less confrontational, more savvy, more competent, but equally hateful asshole, could come along and take the presidency and do a ton more damage than Trump did.

his ability to walk on glass,

I’m assuming the AI is trained to always err on the side of allowing whatever the content in question is to stay up?

The most efficient way to stop this is to initiate an impeachment, because the Congress is forced to stop all business. Impeaching Bill Barr or someone right now, this close to the election, is a phenomenally bad idea. Short of that, there is some partisan trickery to slow down the process (like forcing legislation to…

True, but I hear the other guy is a withered husk, pale and rather exhausted looking, and really only there due to the optics of his former post.
