No When I left home this morning it looked like last night and I was poised to sit down at my desk at work and start building spreadsheets to see what percentages of uncounted votes Kamala was needing in MI, PA, and WI. But when I got to my desk those states were reporting pretty much all...

I stayed up way too late last night and I'm glad I didn't stay up later. Nothing changed while I was asleep.

Comeuppance is such a funny word. I wanted comeuppance for Trump and he wanted it for himself. It is looking right now like he's gonna get the kind he wanted. I'm going to bed soon. It isn't impossible for her to come back, but right now Trump is the smart money. I have been in your...

Six?

I did my 5th Grade Presidential report on George HW Bush, who had just been elected and it was likely at that time that I took the impression that the VP being elected to continue after the President finishes was normal. It is actually fairly unusual. 1/3 of our Presidents were Vice President...

I may have counted North Carolina out too soon. For what it's worth, the governor of North Carolina thinks Kamala will win the state. If she does, she can win with Nevada and without Pennsylvania. Edit - An of course that weird Iowa poll over the weekend may not have been crazy. It could be...

NBC nationwide exit polling: 73% answered that Democracy is threatened. I understand that the GOP can use that talking point too, but I think it is much more used by Democrats.

Last word I see is that NV and PA are polling 50-50. It doesn't matter who wins NV. Unless there are unexpected upsets (sometimes it happens), Pennsylvania decides.

You are forgetting, it takes FOREVER to elect a Speaker.

It is hard to kick out the incumbent. And people aren't very good at the calculus you are talking about. By and large, Republicans are probably fairly happy with him. He has a lot of influence. He made a decent run at the Presidency once. I don't think most Republican primary voters believe...

How creative they are will be an interesting show. I'm sure Trump won't publicly pressure the VP not to certify the results this time. Surely there will not be anyone willing to be a fake elector. I am sure random Joes on Facebook and Truth Social will say the voting machines got rigged, but...

Facebook showed me a post I made 4 years ago that told how many early votes had already been cast. I had been thinking about it today and I figured that because of the pandemic, there would be a lot less early voting this year. But it has actually already blown 2020 away. More than 50% more.

That's not a great look. Mollusk, I hadn't thought about it before. It'd be kinda funny if he called out another mob and Biden just had them all arrested on the spot.

Couldn't happen to a better guy.

I will not quibble here with anyone about the truth of the Bible, but taking it at its word there are only 2 forms of government with God's full support. In the Old Testament, Moses wrote down the laws God told him and when they came into the land of Israel the followed those laws more or less...

"Universal suffrage is not God's design" is such an amazing phrase. the Bible says SO MUCH about who should and shouldn't get to vote....

They have obscured the meaning of "most current time". Strange New Worlds, probably 2260 by now Section 31, early 24th century Lower Decks, 2382 Prodigy, 2385 Starfleet Academy, 32nd century Those are the going concerns right now. Picard season 3 was set in 2401 and I think that is what you...

If she wins Iowa, then Pennsylvania decides the election. Also if she doesn't.

I'm not for sure that a knighthood from the descendants of deposed monarchs with no actual connection to government of any real sort is technically meeting the criteria there. We maybe didn't hear about it because it is legally a nothing sandwich. BUT. I also don't understand the point of it...

That does seem like a lot.
