2020 Presidential Election Thread: IT'S THE FINAL (vote) COUNTDOWN! [update pg 61: Joe Biden elected 46th POTUS]

[Clyde_Style]

Looks like Biden's "good friend on the other side of the aisle" - Mitch McConnell - is supporting Trump's efforts to undermine the election. But I'm sure that once this is all over with, Mitch will agree to work with good ol' Joe, his good friend, so that together they will move America forward. It'll be just fcking great.

What's with this baby talk that Mitch is his friend?

Biden will say whatever he has to say. Saying he gets along with guys on the other side of the aisle is just a convenient white lie he feels works at this time.

You think he doesn't know Mitch is Darth Vader in turtle drag? Of course he does

But Biden is smart enough not to bait them. That's what he's doing. Not giving them any additional emotional tinder to set his presidency on fire with

Who cares if they lie and cheat and steal and are crapping all over Biden already? Of course they are. This is the GOP. They play dirty, It's the DNA

Should Biden play dirty? Yes, but not like that. He's not feeding a base of trolls and he's not falling for their trap by being so damn reactive. You're the one being reactive and judging Biden for some really pointless criticism. I thought you were going to save your smoke for the first 100 days, then evaluate. Stop falling for the easiest, stupid things like crapping on Biden for saying nice things about Republicans. He's better at this than you. He knows exactly why he is saying these things and it is not because he wants to spoon Mitch on a warm Kentucky night

Stop being so fcking literal minded. Geezus

Did you forget the Obama years already? Anyhow, you'll see. When have these guys ever thrown down the gauntlet? I'll tell you when. Never. We always get our asses handed to us by McConnell even when we win. Why is time going to be different? Please, win me over.

It's like you expect him to flame these aholes.

all I'm asking you is to read the tea leaves with more subtlety. This latching on to any Aha! evidence, no matter how flimsy, that the Biden administration is going to be an appeasement machine serving GOP interests is wildly neurotic

McConnell said his greatest personal achievement was blocking Garland. Biden knows damn well what he's up against. He knows we need those two seats in GA and he's not going to set himself on fire by giving the idiotic right wing tabloids fodder. He's going to offer them foot baths and aromatherapy and act like a chivalrous romantic towards the GOP when that stance suits him. So between now and the run-offs expect lots of cooing that is going to irritate the crap out of you, but for pete's sake don't be so literal minded about it. Biden's not a fool. He is playing to win so let it play out

P.S. You know whom Biden also irritates by acting nicey-nice? The Republicans. They fcking hate it, but what are they going to say? We hate it when he's nice to us? How can you not see how that is artful game playing by Biden?

Over and over again these centrists make the same mistakes thinking this time it will work.

Republicans get power and say nothing about compromise, just that they have a mandate to push their whole agenda and they do it in anyway they can get it done fair, honest or not. Their policies hurt people, destroy the economy, run up the debt handing trillions to the wealthy and corporations, ruin programs that help people and then hand it over to Dems in shambles. The GOP also blames the dems for it which they have no coherent reply to that.

The dems gain power then talk about compromise, reaching across the isle and already have given up half their policies before they even get into the office. Reps obstruct in every way they can fairly, honestly or not, just because they can so little gets done. Also all of a sudden rediscovering fiscal responsibility so push for cuts in social programs which the dummy dems parrot their talking points and let them control the narrative.

Rinse repeat....

What is the Trump pathway to the Supreme Court?

Kavanaugh said this a concurring opinion a month ago,
“Late-arriving ballots open up one of the greatest risks of what might, in our era of hyperpolarized political parties and existential politics, destabilize the election result,” New York University Professor Richard Pildes wrote in a June law review article about the challenges posed by this year’s election. “If the apparent winner the morning after the election ends up losing due to late-arriving ballots, charges of a rigged election could explode. The longer after Election Day any significant changes in vote totals take place, the greater the risk that the losing side will cry that the election has been stolen.”

The case decided whether Wisconsin GOP could set firm deadlines for absentee, mail-in ballots to be arrive by election day. There's no word of significant amount of ballots arriving late in any state. A few states have laws saying not to count till election day. AG Bill Barr just opened up a DOJ investigation into "voting irregularities."

We are being asked to wait around as the Republican Party desperately conjure up evidence and throw fire into the flames of the same "hyperpolarized political parties and existential politics," Brett Kavanaugh talked about. The Republican Party operates in conspiracy. The Democrats couldn't possibly have won a fair election! If the Supreme Court stops it good because socialism! If that's the way it's going to be America is not going to survive the next 100 years.

Can any legal minds break down how the Trump team could pull this off?

Oyez, Oyez, Oyez. The Honorable Harthorne J. Wingo presiding. God bless Judge Wingo and God bless the Knicks! Good evening, Your Honor.

After reading the briefs and listening to oral argument, I hold that Trump's legal challenges to the 2020 election are but a pretext to fraudulently extending his tenure as POTUS in order to avoid going to jail and paying back hundreds of millions of dollars in loans he's defaulted on. Trump's lawsuits are DENIED WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE.

BY THE COURT:

/s/ Wingo, J.

William Barr is just almost as dumb as Rudy Giuliani and he certainly is not any more effective

He is the guy who whiffs in the dugout before he even steps to the plate

EVERY SINGLE THING BARR HAS DONE FOR TRUMP HAS FAILED.

This election is OVER

The only reason Barr goes through the motions, AND THE ONLY REASON, is, wait for it:

HE WANTS A PARDON FROM TRUMP

(because if he doesn't get one the incoming AG is going to crucify him and Barr knows it)

every little gesture like this is for an audience of one, his stupidness in chief

The Epic Fails of Bill Barr
https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-epic-fails-of-trump-attorney-general-william-barr

Seriously, any media outlet that acts like Barr is going to accomplish anything with this phony "investigation" just wants your clicks. It's complete and utter BS like everything else the Trump team does

The media loves these stories to stoke your paranoia. It's rubbish. Don't fall for it

I wasn't going to give them anything until they came up with some evidence to support their own claims because I know what will happen. Give a million and one excuse why this isn't proof of what it so plainly is evidence of and then not come up with any of their own to support their own...again.

I'm not falling for it. You might be surprised how many people are willing to fall for it *wink wink*. Facebook is flooded with this Alex Jones like victim to conspiracy mentality. I've seen a few cases rejected but bet the Georgia governor plays ball.

[Clyde_Style]

Everything the Trump adminstration does is an epic fail

The difference is now that they've lost they no longer have the power of the executive branch fueling their BS.

This is a team on its last legs playing their hacky greatest hits of lie, lies and more lies to a diminishing audience and none of it will stick just like always

The fear of four more years of BS has passed. Their BS holds no remaining clout with a dead president walking, so how about none of you fall for their BS too?

The Bots were on a roll today posting the same exact message over and over about how this is their last election and they're getting a divorce because they couldn't believe their wife supported Biden and the results.

I was responding to you, but definitely broadcasting to everyone to just pay it no mind. It's just more fugazi spin for the news cycle. Trump is delusional. His advisers tell him to concede, but he won't, so everything you see happening are just half-hearted gestures by his lackeys to appease the stupid orangutang until they lose interest in this silly I see dead people stuff. Barr desperately needs a pardon. He's a treason weasel and will go to prison if he fails to get one. All of his weak sauce litigations are theatre for Trump and Trump alone.

https://fb.watch/1FI4XpUpHH/ We cannot underestimate the Republicans ability to tow the company line. They moved that line in a death grip by design. There is no objective truth anymore.

Well the list you posted doesn’t match up with the what was posted by Phish. And there’s a reason for that because it’s a deceptive tweet that’s only showing a picture that’s favorable to Progressives. Here’s another list of Progressive challengers that lost as well. I’m assuming that the majority if not all of them signed onto Medicare4All and keep in mind it’s a lot tougher for a challenger but to save you time the guy goes through the list and 25/30 LOST their house race. I would also like to see the results from Centrist Dem challengers as well, but one thing is for sure the argument that if you supported m4all you won is simplistic and isn’t even true.

It’s possible that neither of us are right and that policy doesn’t matter (I’m convinced of this) and maybe a great candidate can overcome any attacks against them. Here’s an interesting article from Slate discussing this:

Fck John Kasich up the ass with a red hot poker. If Biden let's him anywhere near this Administration there will be a revolt.

David Doel has the data.
