All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

We do in fact live in interesting times.

I'll say this, if Stacey Abrams ever turns up on my doorstep and demands a home-cooked meal? I'm obliged to get my ass into the kitchen for her. S

I don't know how Republican voters don't realize that all the policies the country and even they support, the people they elect don't enact them.

We're talking about people who want more Covid-19 stimulus money, and re-elected Mitch McConnell, who could give f*** all if they starve. Hell, he probably touches himself with his purple hands thinking about it.

His dick doesn't work anymore.

I just don't understand poor republican voters. If you have a lot of money, I get it. If you don't you're just fucking yourself.

Lyndon Johnson knew exactly what his opposition was doing.

Seriously, she played a huge role in keeping a major red state from breaking early for DJT and sending 2 senate races to the runoffs. That's MVP right there.

Arizona and Georgia...the land of the two Johns -- McCain and Lewis.

Biden's friendship with John McCain, endorsement from his widow, and Trump's political suicide of insulting McCain and refusing to do enough stops in AZ, alongside the Latin turnout and influx of Californian transplants fleeing gentrification (which is I think about the first good thing gentrification has done, sending Blue voters to Red States to dye it purple) won him AZ alongside some important campaign stops Biden-Harris did there.

Georgia is the home of John Lewis, icon and legend, Clyburn's endorsement helped turn the African-American vote on Super Tuesday and of course Stacey Abrams.

Whoever comes out ahead... it's looking like the race in Georgia will be within .1%, which is an automatic runoff.

Whoever's ahead at that point... won't get the state called for them until after that recount. Good thing Georgia isn't the final deciding state, or we would have Trump v. Biden and the SCOTUS would have f***ed that chicken for Trump hard and fast like three of them did back in 2000 for Bush.

It's just gonna be gravy when Biden gets Georgia.

Damn, didn’t know about Georgia’s run off rule. So how does that work exactly? Is it mainly just a recount or do people have to vote all over again?

Just to twist the knife, Abrams should announce,

"I beg to offer to you as a Halloween present, the state of Georgia" to Biden.



Since I'm that guy who likes explaining the jokes, this is a riff off a famous telegram Sherman sent Lincoln during his famous "March to the Sea" which Confederates never stop kvetching about. Sherman's March was the action which won Lincoln Re-Election.

Bonus points if it's sent via telegram.

We have to vote all over again. So for senate it will be Jan. 5th. If there is anything local that run off will happen Dec 1.

I remember reading in a novel (horror, natch, not even recent) that old rich people that can't **** anymore still feel important by hiring, with their remaining available might (money acquired whatever way), high-power lawyers to do whatever they feel is important.

I assume the same trickles all the way down to Cletus Joe's thinking. They deep down know they're some kind of all fucked, but they're still entitled to see someone else suffering more.

Should be a recount for president. The runoff is in statewide races like governor and Senate.

Trump's statewide margin in Pennsylvania is down to 26k votes.

[The no face guy]

Mail in ballots cometh! For whom the bell tolls for Donald Trump's Presidency.

Only a matter of time now.

Oh I wasn't talking about president. But yes it is only a run off for the senate. We already knew we would have a runoff for the second seat because of the jungle primary. Now it looks like we might also have one for the first.
