The medal was not given for economics.
Man, the Jets sure know how to screw up. It’s almost as if they’re actively trying to lose games. I’d be worried if I were Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields. I can’t wait for the day this economic illiterate shuts the fuck up. (I apologize for including that in the sports recap. She doesn’t deserve it.) And that’s pretty much it for sports.

Theological heavyweight and all-around religious badass Martin Luther was born on this day. He shares it with British King George II, infielder Jimmy Dykes, awesome Russian inventor Mikhail Kalashnikov, writer W.E.B. Griffin, comedic actor Sinbad, droning sportscaster Linda Cohn, Downton Abbey actor Hugh Bonneville, pitcher Kenny Rogers, hard-partying F1 driver Eddie Irvine, outfielder Shawn Green, and actress (who died too young) Brittany Murphy.
That’s it for birthdays. Some absolute heavyweights there who dramatically changed the course of humanity. And now on to…the links!

IDK if this place is on your way north, but their suasage gravy is righteous. I get a side of it to put on the fried potatoes. The apple fritter French toast was disappointing though.
Is the 15th not on practiscore? The most recent event is back in july.
It’s on there. I registered. Name is “SaraSpa Steel Practice 11/15/20”
Not showing up on search, nor under the club.
… it’s under matches. Why can’t this site have one unified search?
Because it’s kind of terrible. But free!
I have no idea why Dave can’t make up his mind whether to register as “SSRG” or “SaraSpa.”
Also, they are talking about over the winter setting up a single USPSA classifer in the adjacent pits during steel challenge weekends if you wanted ot bring hte PCC.
Also also, everyone currently registered is going rimfire pistol. Finally, I’m ahead of the trend.

Sausage Gravy goes on biscuits. Period. Full stop.
/goes to the local diner that has a sausage gravy drenched wet breakfast burrito
What was that?
Sausage gravy is the platonic ideal of French fry dipping sauces.
Most bought biscuits are terrible and not worth eating.
There is exactly one place near me that makes good biscuits, and they charge $4/per. I still get them occasionally.
Geography is destiny. New York can’t possibly have good biscuits or sausage gravy for that matter.
Not impossible. Just damned rare.
What’s worse is that Upstate has terrible pizza for the most part. In the past nine years (holy fuck I”ve been here a long time) I’ve found three good places, only one of which delivers to me. Still no good Chinese, Thai or Vietnamese.
Damn, I thought I lived in the boonies, but we do have good Chinese and Thai reasonably close. Vietnamese – that we have to go to Harrisburg for.
We have all of those things but we are a government town.
There is a particular style of Chinese food here that does not match anything I’ve had in Austin or San Francisco. Most other Asian dishes sold here are the same with different sauces.
There was a good Japanese place, but I think it closed peranently during hte shutdown.
We had a Shezchuan place here years ago. We’re out in the boonies so everything is Cantonese.
Well I was south of Detroit City
I pulled in this country kitchen

I’d like to start a new point of contention amongst us here….sausage gravy is disgusting.
You probably put pineapples in it.
Well, ya. What? Next, you’ll be telling me that spaghetti doesn’t need sugar and shouldn’t be eaten with a spoon.

I love me some sausage gravy over my eggs. I get a side of it at breakfast whenever I’m in the south.
I always made my own but being a Hypoborian have no idea what the Southron recipe is.
1. Fry sausage in skillet
2. Remove sausage. Pour off grease casually, do not wipe out.
3. Sprinkle flour over grease remaining in pan. Stir over heat until the roux gets melty
4. Add whole milk and stir. Add additional black pepper and/or salt if needed.
I assume somewhere in that process you chop up the sausage?
look at the 3rd wave feminist here.
Yanno, I thought about specifying that the sausage used in this case was the stuff that is removed from its casing prior to cooking, but I thought it was impossible that anyone beleived you made sausage gravy from sausage links.
NA, there are people who need to be told to remove the sausage from the packaging.
Huh. Was doing it right all this time.
That’s sawmill gravy.
Shit, forgot step 5:
5. Put the sausage back into the gravy.
My buddy makes a great gravy with biscuits, but he uses chorizo and corn starch instead of flour. Gives it a nice heat and great after a night of heavy drinking.
We called it “turd-burglar” and served over mashed potatoes.
Triscuits, biscuits…monoscuits?

“one of these things is not like the others…”
It’s better than the all vegan cocktail bar that opened up here in Cleveland. From the article:
All vegan? We went from beef to grass fed beef to just eating the fucking grass.
I was interested in checking them out (I do like a good cocktail) until that part dropped. They’re even avoiding honey in cocktails and using a substitute. Free the bees or some such.
agave syrup?
By definition, it is not a brisket sandwich without meat from the brisket, which is a particular section of an animal. You cannot have a vegan brisket sandwich. Period.
That train sailed way back when chicken and shrimp “fajitas” became popular.
There was a pizza chain that moved into the Cleveland area a while back, they sent out mailers and I noticed something. On their meat topping list, there was an asterisk indicating if something was pork free. Alright, there’s a not-insignificant Muslim population in the areas around them, that could make sense. Then I noticed that there was an asterisk next to bacon. Those bastards were trying to pass off turkey bacon as real ‘merican bacon!
They did not survive in this area.
*racks AK*
So I remembered the name of the place (PizzaBOGO), and found their menu. It gets worse now… they’re now saying none of their meat toppings have pork. One of those toppings is smoked ham. They’re selling PORK free smoked ham!
FFS, I would take pork roll over pork free smoked ham every day of the week!
I have a hard time finding actual sausage that isn’t made out of chicken.
Odd, I would have to go out of my way to find chicken sausage.
Yeah, we have a huge expat population onsite from countries that forbid pork and those that love pork.
Each station has vegetarian, pork-free, and pork-containing options. And every Friday serves meatless lasagna for the natives.
Is it at least loaded with cheese?
It looks to be, but I’ve never gotten it.
Duck bacon on the other hand is tasty
Seconded.
Leave Britney alone!
Still would, tho.
Paging Dr Lolzy McButthurt
Biden may still eke out a victory. But after the Trump administration undermined or contradicted its own medical experts on everything from wearing masks to reopening schools at the beginning of the outbreak, the tight race feels like a slap in the face for many physicians fighting the pandemic .
Texas and Florida — where there have been more than 960,000 and 827,000 confirmed cases, respectively, so far — solidly went for Trump even though Democrats thought the outbreak gave them a fighting chance in some red states.
“Many of us are now questioning whether we’re speaking into an echo chamber,” said Miami-based physician Dr. Krishna Komanduri. Miami-Dade County dealt a big blow to the Biden campaign in Florida and helped seal the state for Trump
——-
“I really thought that our experiences in the trenches would impact people’s voting decisions,” added Dr. Avital O’Glasser, an associate professor and hospitalist at Oregon Health & Science University.
Trump’s response to the virus reflects a disregard for scientific expertise, including his downplaying of the importance of masks. She thought Biden would win in a landslide, so the tight race is a real wake-up call, she said. Even if Biden ultimately wins, she’s been thinking about what she could do to communicate more effectively to people in the future.
“Our country doesn’t have the science and math education that a lot of other countries have,” she said.
When will we finally prioritize education spending, so our children can be properly indoctrinated?
We are a great disappointment to our betters.
I feel teh shame.
“Those assholes value freedom more than government-forced safety measures that the government condemned just a few months earlier? We need to be even harsher next time!”
NY went Democratic because of COVID – they had far more dead voters!
‘Even if Biden ultimately wins, she’s been thinking about what she could do to communicate more effectively to people in the future.’
Ah, the old “We just didn’t explain things well enough to the idiots” routine.
Obama loves that schtick.
Says it all right there.
“Our country doesn’t have the science and math education that a lot of other countries have,” she said.
I don’t think that we’re the ones having issues with math. Also, FUCK OFF SLAVER.
We also have a lower death rate from COVID (outside of NY/NJ) than a lot of other countries you innumerate cunt.
One of the biggest problems with the medical profession at large, is their generally inadequate grasp of mathematics.
It is a career refuge for people good at certain things. Math is not on the required list, based on my ex and my daughter, both in medicine. So it disproportionately attracts the innumerate.
“…she’s been thinking about what she could do to communicate more effectively to people in the future.
You could try not being wrong about everything. That might help.
You could take this advice: “it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to talk and remove all doubt.”
“Our country doesn’t have the science and math education that a lot of other countries have,” she said.
Yea, other countries aren’t using Common Core.
Some of us remember all those doctors that signed a letter saying protesting is okay.
Hell, I remember tose doctors writeing excuse notes for union memebers at the anti-Walker protests in WI.
Trump’s response to the virus reflects a disregard for scientific expertise
In what way?
“including his downplaying of the importance of masks”
Fucking gaslighting.
Social distancing is more important than mask usage.
Murphy wasted no time after the election re-imposing his medical dictatorship with the most arbitrary rules imaginable.
The one good thing that comes from Corona Virus is the hastening demise of the public schools. Unfortunately the price to pay for that is going to be really high.
I think I’ll pass on the McFaceplant.
I think it’s just a rebranding. There’s no way Mcburgers were ever made from cow meat, in the first place.
I damn well know the version I was served for school lunches was soy based but I’m pretty sure the McRib is animal parts based…too much gristle for it not to be.
The best part about those cheap burgers thirty years ago was biting down on actual bone.
*shudders*
Yeah, beef doesn’t make me fart like that.
Everything, and I mean everything, makes me fart. I may have a medical condition.
Others doctors have been doing a lot of soul-searching about what their patients might be going through, and how they can better relate to them.
Dr. Laolu Fayanju, a family medicine doctor based in Ohio, treats patients in so-called Rust Belt cities like Youngstown.
He’s heard from a lot of his patients that they’ve been having a difficult time during the pandemic and are feeling lonely and isolated. Others are concerned about their job prospects, and felt emboldened by Trump’s promises to bring back manufacturing jobs.
He’s recognizing that many of those patients handed Trump a win in Ohio.
Stupid peasants, thinking they should be allowed to control their own lives. Self-ownership is a dangerous, outmoded fiction in our kinder, gentler 21st century world.
You’re a doctor. Do your damn job and try to heal your patients’ physical ailments. Stay out of their lives otherwise. Arrogant asshole.
Once we purge the scourge of individualism from the world we will have the new Soviet man!
I like how Young adult Dystopian fiction is often cast aside as juvenile, yet the people who do so for political reasons never come up with new arguments. They repeat the same shit given in those novels.
“Been in practice 3-5 years” (source: US News)
I know a doctor who works in a pediatric unit in eastern Ohio; she is totally fed up with the ‘vid bullshit. Basically no chance that most of her patients will even get the sniffles from it.
It’s really hard not to get end of free society vibes from these types of articles.
Turns out locking people down, destroying their livelihood, and scaring them into being afraid of interacting with others has those stated side effects.
But i read a bunch of Austrailians on Twitter yesterday who were super thankful that the Government locked them down. Granted i don’t think it was the parents of any of the babies who died because the government wouldn’t let them be transfered to a different hospital.
My respect for the difficulty of gaining medical qualifications is so great that I don’t think doctors – as human beings – are capable of being experts on anything much else. That’s before you get into the messiah complex that people who are the last resort for the desperate develop.
Hayek and Feynman were right – the modern world is wrong. Most serious problems in life are too complicated for the understanding of any individual expert.
The most common disorders experienced by COVID-19 survivors within 90 days of their diagnoses are anxiety, depression and insomnia, according to the study published in The Lancet Psychiatry journal.
“People have been worried that COVID-19 survivors will be at greater risk of mental health problems, and our findings … show this to be likely,” said Paul Harrison, a professor of psychiatry at Britain’s Oxford University.
Unanticipated consequences. Take these anti-depressants, and you’ll be fine.
/Liverpool Care Pathway
Is it me, or has there been a concerted effort in the media since the election to push the “covid long haulers” story again?
nah it’s real. Read one the other day about how common rehospitalizations were among previously hospitalized survivors is at like 9% which seems scary until you look at those same statistics for pneumonia which is double or the flu which is a couple % points higher.
These fuckers are absolute malevolent clowns,
Oh yeah, it’s CNN. They don’t really understand how elections work or they don’t really care.
There was a lot of sputtering outrage over at NBC, too. “We called it. That makes it official!”
The media is very uncomfortable with losing their power?
Every time that I click on a link that stealthily mentions Rapinhoe, I immediately exit. You’ve got my click, cunte, but you don’t get my photons. Fuck you and the horse that your mom fucked.
They don’t really understand how elections work or they don’t really care.
They understand that if Dems win or “win” everything is good and just. If a Republicans win everything is doom and gloom in our new fascist America.
Small business Glibs – How much do you have to pay for private insurance? Did it go way up after ObamaCare?
Right now the 3 of us are on my wife’s insurance from her corporate job – which is more expensive than ever. Wondering how bad it would be if we went into business for ourselves.
If you’re young. Take out catastrophic insurance and invest an extra $500 /month to use when you get older.
If you’re older. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t pencil out, but that also determines how good your current insurance is.
One of the main reasons I haven’t unchained my golden handcuffs is the health insurance where I work is REALLY GOOD.
I was self-insured pre-Obamacare and it was cheap.
I was also male and single and in good health, so I am a bad comparison for most instances.
some catastrophic plans are back now that the individual mandate is gone, it just doesn’t qualify as a healthcare policy.
And you will pay for mandatory OB/GYN coverage and LIKE IT!
Several years back I worked for a govt contractor that had a solid-gold insurance plan with zero copay. That had to go away as a Cadillac plan. The small company I work for now I have to pay the whole premium (pre-tax at least) and holy hell!
Yep, that was the first change that happened to my policy, suddenly I was covered in case I got pregnant!
“It’s every man’s right to have babies.”
I will not speak on the steps I’ve had to take in order to afford insurance for my family because reasons…
But let me illustrate the issues with the ACA structure with a hypothetical situation:
Assuming you have a insufficient number of employees that you can get group rates, each employee is individually rated. This becomes financially untenable for almost all small businesses who aren’t employing white collar professionals.
So now you’re not offering insurance as a benefit. What do you do for yourself since it’s a very bad idea (hello, IRS) for the business to buy insurance for the executives and not for the employees?
Well you’re going to be using the ACA individual market most likely.
So the way the ACA works is that the individual plans are subsidized for a family that makes up to 400% of the federal poverty level. This year, I think that’s roughly $117K for a family of five.
The normal premium of the ACA family plans is somewhere around $28,000/year for a family of five and the deductible will be around $15,000.
However, if you qualify for the subsidies, that premium is offset by subsidies that bring the total cost of the plan (excluding deductible) down to about $5,000/year.
In other words, making a single dollar over the arbitrary line of 400% of the federal poverty level costs you $20,000 in subsidies. This is reportable to the IRS and is part of your annual filings.
So how do you think that affects business owners, particularly S-Corp, when they’re making decisions about their own salaries and business income reporting. To say the incentives are perverse is to put it mildly.
Wasn’t there a problem with funding the subsidies as well? I know the Dems wanted to hide how that worked.
Shit…
There is a similar cliff in the brewing industry, but fortunately it is high enough that it only effects the big craft brewers.
The numbers have changed since I was in the industry (taxes have been lowered) but i will use old numbers as I remember.
The excise tax on the first 60k bbls per year was $7. After that it was $18. Okay, normal marginal tax style situation. However, if your annual production exceeded 2MM per year, you didn’t get the 60k discount rate. So Bud has to pay $18 on every barrel.
However, it means if you are near that limit, the 2,000,001st bbl is taxed at $660,018. When both Yuengling and Sam Adams got near the cliff, they paused production at about 1.9MM per year for about 2 years, then jumped to about 2.5MM bbls. IIRC, that is why Yuengling went into Ohio.
Yikes, I always assumed the purpose of ObamaCare was to ruin the private insurance market and clear the way for socialized medicine. Seems to be working.
I was never able to afford a policy as a solo practitioner.

The Bloombergers had Jeffrey Sachs on. Talk about somebody who inhabits an alternate reality; that guy is out there. I thought he was going to start weeping inconsolably as he talked about Trump’s many and varied (and nonspecific) crimes against humanity. The cognitive dissonance required to believe a) Biden will revive the economy and b) Biden will cure the plague by completely locking the economy down is impressive.
You superlock down the economy for 6 months the covid magically goes away and then you fully reopen thus saving it
He can go fuck himself for what he did to Russia.
The only time I remember Russ Roberts getting agitated on Econtalk was the last time Sachs was on.

Every-time I think I get a handle on these assholes just being nefarious power hungry retards it still baffles my mind how much damage they are willing to do and expect zero repercussions for it I can’t imagine being that sociopathic and keep trying to rationalize it to some non-nefarious run of the mill stupidity and it never works. It’s just religous and non rational and it’s tough to imagine being that irrational and inconsistent.
The recovery can’t begin until Biden is in office?
It’s a distraction from the corrupt election.

McEnany said, “There is only one party in America trying to keep observers out of the count room, that party my friends is the Democrat party. You don’t take these positions because you want an honest election. You don’t oppose an audit of the vote because you want an accurate count. You don’t oppose our effort at sunlight at transparency because you have nothing to hide. You take these positions because you are a welcoming fraud and you are welcoming illegal voting.”
Cavuto said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, I just think we have to be very clear. She’s charging the other side is welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting, unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this.”
He continued, “I want to make sure that maybe they do have something back that up. That is an explosive charge to make at the other side is effectively rigging and cheating. If she does bring proof of that we will take you back.”

I do not believe Trump will have any success in the courts, but i have enjoyed the concern trolling from the left about how dangerous it is that he won’t concede and it’s going to the courts, when that is exactly what the signaled they would do if Biden lost narrowly.

Depends on how obvious the fraud is or isn’t once they really do start bearing down on it IMHO. Ambiguous well done fraud, you’re likely correct; obvious sloppy fraud, I think he has a fairly good chance to have it addressed at least although he could still lose in the end because he might have actually lost.
Best case scenario is that there is an acknowledgement of fraud but it isn’t large enough to overturn (I think it is, if they tracked it all down – but I don’t think courts are going to find it that way) and a bunch of people go to jail and OH/FL type improvements are made in key states to prevent it in the future.
GA should be able to make that latter happen.
Apparently their memories do not go back to 2000, where Gore refused to concede and fought it through the courts until SCOTUS slapped them down. Trump is pulling a Gore.

Former FDA chief Dr. Scott Gottlieb warned that the coronavirus pandemic is “about to explode” across the United States as the country confirmed more than 10 million coronavirus cases on Monday, a bleak milestone just 10 days after reaching the 9 million mark amid a record surge in daily infections.
On Sunday, the country added approximately 105,000 cases, and Johns Hopkins reported that it’s the fifth day in a row where Covid cases topped 100,000.
“The challenge is this virus is distributed everywhere across the country right now,” Gottlieb said. “We’re going to have a really significant epidemic wave across the entire nation and, unfortunately, it’s going to cause a lot of death and disease before we’re able to have this therapeutic counterattack, not just with the vaccine, but also with these therapeutic antibodies.”
What we need now is a huge spike in “cases” so Joe’s (PBUH) miraculous victory over the Trump Plague will look even better.
Bow down, America. Express your gratitude.

Talking Heads fan from about 1982 or so. David Byrne still makes interesting music – https://youtu.be/hpPYKJAnwUo
He has a special running on cable (HBO I think) right now. Does some new stuff and a few old Talking Heads tunes.
That’s really neat! They were never a top twenty band for me but they were always interesting.
Treat yourself and find Byrne’s “Rei Momo” album. He gets a ton of Latin musicians and there’s a bunch of different styles on it.
It’s an excellent album, IMO.

One sane Democrat.
“There’s a lot of people are concerned. There’s a lot of fear tactics are being used right now, Bret. If both of the Georgia senators were elected from the Democratic Party, then that would be 50-50 if both Dan Sullivan and Thom Tillis win. 50-50 means there’s a tie but if one senator does not vote on the Democratic side, there is no tie and there is no bill,” he explained to Fox News’ Bret Baier. “So I can commit to you here tonight, and I can commit to all of your viewers and everyone else that’s watching, I wanna lay those fears. I wanna rest those fears for you right now because when they talk about whether it be packing the courts or ending the filibuster, I will not vote to do that. I will not vote to pack the courts. I will not vote to end the filibuster.”
One Democrat that knows on which side his bread is buttered. If it became politically advantageous for him to do so he’d advocate for those things too.
The guy who wants to keep getting reelected in the reddest of red states.
I’ll believe it when I see it. He won’t be up for re-election for how many years? When Dem Reps were not voting for OCare, enough pressure was put on them to flip their votes even though they had to know it would cost their seats.

“Don Jnr accuses head of DOJ election crimes unit of being the ‘Deep State’ after he resigned in protest over Bill Barr authorizing federal prosecutors across US to pursue ‘substantial allegations’ of voter fraud despite little evidence
Donald Trump Jr has accused the Justice Department official who oversees investigations of voter fraud of being a member of the ‘Deep State’, after the official dramatically quit on Monday night.
Richard Pilger resigned after Attorney General William Barr authorized federal prosecutors across the U.S. to pursue ‘substantial allegations’ of voting irregularities before the 2020 presidential election is certified, despite little evidence of fraud.
Pilger, director of the Election Crimes Branch of the Department of Justice since 2010, stepped down within hours of Barr’s announcement, in an email he sent to colleagues that was obtained by The New York Times.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8931713/Barr-OKs-election-probes-despite-little-evidence-fraud.html
Being a career bureaucrat is kind of the definition of being Deep State, no?
I’d say if you’re investigating election crimes for the FBI for years on end, you haven’t actually done your job in a long time.
And that man didn’t do what my daddy told him to do!!!
“Don Jnr accuses head of DOJ election crimes unit of being the ‘Deep State’ after he resigned in protest over Bill Barr authorizing federal prosecutors across US to pursue ‘substantial allegations’ of voter fraud despite little evidence
Given that he met with Lois Lerner (who pleaded the Fifth) to discuss opportunities to prosecute the Tea Parties, I’d say Deep State is about right.
How do you get evidence without investigating?
It should be like IRS audits. You run statistics, find red flags, audit those. Plus audit a few random individuals. This should be done every single election. If the audits lead to real evidence, you dig deep.
That is always the game played with Election Fraud. “No evidence” so we shouldn’t investigate it. I in part think that the lethargy on the part of the media to investigate fraud is that Elections are sacrosanct and even implying that they may not be pure shakes the very roots of the state religion.
They’ve been elevating Stacey Abrams to holy warrior level for the past few years because the election was “stolen” from her, They’re fundamentally biased and sincerely do not care if anybody knows it anymore.
They aren’t biased, they have an agenda, and the agenda is to dominate you and your family from now for all eternity.
Can we send Jimmy Carter to Detroit to investigate?
I in part think that the lethargy on the part of the media to investigate fraud is that Elections are sacrosanct and even implying that they may not be pure shakes the very roots of the state religion.
Maybe. I think it’s probably more a bias thing. And not even intentional. I think most major reporters work out of a few select cities – NY, DC, Chicago, LA,, etc.). The thing is, all those cities have long histories of crooked machines that fixed the vote. And, in those cities, the machine politicians are sort of romanticized. So, a little bit of ballot box stuffing or greasing of wheels doesn’t get seen as “corruption”, it’s just the machine taking care of things.
And then the head of the Voter Fraud department resigned…
Hmm… I wonder what he’s been doing this last 2 weeks? His secretary?
Unwarranted NSA spying on all Americans = if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.
Statistically unlikely voting patterns that all favor democrats = you have no proof, so you can’t investigate.
*peels back the layers of the onion*
Hmm, which is the overriding principle here? Ah, I have it! All for the growth of the state, nothing for the reduction of the state.
And they call me a cynic ?
Weird the guy would quit the first time anyone asked him to actually do his job.
He didn’t join the government to actually work you know.

Update – I checked all of the outlets on my uninterruptable power supply and found that those marked “Surge Only” had power. So I pulled the battery, reseated it, and started it back up. Now I am getting power from everything I should. Apparently the battery came loose when I moved it.
And now my desktop is back on protected power instead of directly into the mains.
Yay.
Though there is an ergonomics problem with these monitors.
The comfortable viewing distance puts my hands about a foot away from the keyboard. I need to get or make some sort of keyboard shelf that will allow me to sit where I can see the monitors clearly and to type.
I’m slumming it. I used a bunch of old textbooks to raise my monitors to a decent height.
The height is fine, it’s the fact that they’re so big that the spot to see comfortably is further back. And I can’t move the monitors on account of there being a wall and no more desk behind them, so I have to move myself, and then the keyboard needs to float in midair to use it.
Swing arms for the monitors?
Even if I wall mount them and pull the whole desk forward, that would cause more trouble in random inconvenience than getting a shelf for the keyboard.
oooooh who called it? I did.
UT4 still hasn’t been called, and RCP has it within .2%. If this does flip back to the GOP this will be the second time in as many elections that this seat has flipped.
Re-apportionment will fix that!
I’m kind of puzzled at why UT4 was drawn as such a swing district. You look at a map of the Utah congressional districts, it wouldn’t be too hard to shave a bit off the SLC portion of that district during reapportionment and tack on a few deep Red counties farther south, without threatening any of the other solid Red seats.
Yeah, i don’t have access to the data, so i’m not sure, though Utah/SLC counties that UT4 covers has exploded in the last 10 years, so maybe it wasn’t as much of a swing district at the time it was made and so the Legislature thought it was best to have 3 completely safe districts and 1 more swing district.
Also at the time 4 was represented by Matheson at the beginning, so it was already a Democratic seat, so really it went from having 2 Safe GOP and 1 Dem to 3 Safe GOP and 1 swing district.
The most swing district of all seems to be Iowa2, where they’re showing as 35 votes apart.
I like Tim and his joke is decent*, but I know he also supports medicare for all. How are we any better at preventative medicine with the government officially in control?

Sure that is fine evidence but where is your evidence?
“Do you know that fraudulent votes were actually cast?” said one intrepid news person. Kayleigh McEnany responded, “Ronna just told you there were 131 affidavits filed in just Michigan alone. We are aware of the reports of thousands of votes cast in Nevada that were not eligible…right now we would point you to that. That information is publicly available.”
Lawsuit: Poll Workers Allege Voter-Coaching, Back-Dating, Cheating Occurred in Detroit Election Centers
McDaniel jumped back in to add that the whistleblower in Michigan has sworn an affidavit alleging: being told by a supervisor to backdate ballots that came in after the legal deadline; witnessing poll workers encouraging voters to vote straight Democrat; and even poll workers going into the booths with voters. These allegations of illegal votes being counted must be examined through the legal process. The press conveniently continued to ignore the evidence presented to them and pretended McDaniel never said it. “Why aren’t you worried about these irregularities?” McDaniel asked over a member of the press heckling her with stupid questions.
“Do you have any evidence you can show us today that illegal ballots were cast?” a member of the press asked AGAIN. An exasperated McDaniel replied that backdating ballots is illegal and that would mean they were cast illegally. The press did not seem to grasp any of it. And I would bet cash money that none of the mainstream press investigates any of the affidavits or incident reports submitted to the court. Instead, they will continue to gaslight us, claiming that there is “no evidence.” This is the narrative they will go with on the evening news and half of America will never hear of the 131 affidavits taken under oath or the 2,800 incident reports of alleged voter fraud.
That’s the thing, the evidence is now everywhere and overwhelming. I keep hearing there’s no smoking gun, but there’s thousands of smoking guns. The media has changed the definition of smoking gun to something along the lines of Biden hiring a plane to sky-write “I cheated and stole the election”.

They might be getting a bit nervous.
This always has been a full court press to get Trump to capitulate. This action only reinforces that premise.
Legally, he isn’t anything yet, as the results are not certified, let alone the EC ballots cast.
If you read the article it’s about having access to the Transition Stuff that you get when you’ve won the election. I guess there are some funds availalbe, and your team gets access to security breifings. (you know the stuff that Obama and Biden screwed around with Trump on). Anyway, GSA needs the federal agency to certify a “winner” so that the funds can become available, and that hasn’t happened yet (probably because enough states haven’t certified their elections yet). The Author assures you that this is “Unprecedented” even though 6 weeks ago the same media was telling you that we might not know who won for weeks or even a month after the election.
Everything. Everything, that the media says should be considered through the lense of “How does this keep the establishment in power”?
You’d never know it from the corporate media… I was stuck in a waiting room where there was some morning show on, and they were talking about “Trump disputing election results despite it being called for Biden by every major media organization including us”.
Joe Biden’s team is considering legal action over the ongoing refusal to grant the president-elect a formal transition into the White House, according to reports.
Refusal of what? The EC has not convened and inauguration day is Jan 20.
“something along the lines of Biden hiring a plane to sky-write “I cheated and stole the election”.

Re: Houston restaurant link: What is the new concept?
Some troughs are more equal than others?
Being in Houston
Sel serve beer taps. Lots of ‘em.
But I can’t pull a pint properly
I ask again, what is the new concept?
That was in Bowling Green, KY 5 years ago. And BG doesn’t get anything new. Except Corvettes.
A neat concept, but not new, was a bar (about a decade ago) that had a stock ticker for its beer menu. As beers were purchased, the price of it would go up and the others would go down a little. So popular beers rose in price and less popular ones got cheaper until people started buying them to reach an equilibrium.
I think they adjusted every 5 or 15 minutes, forget how it worked. And I am sure there were minimums and maximums. But the idea was interesting.
There was a bar in Prague where you could spend a fixed sum and it was all you can drink. But it was available since you went in the tap room until you went out. There was no going out and going back in again. The kicker was there were no toilets in the tap room so it was all you can drink until you really need to go
I think fixed sum, all you can drink bar specials are illegal in VA, at least it was a decade ago, to nanny-state against binge drinking.
The bar I used to frequent tried to get around this by having a Monday night special where they would fill any mug you brought in for something like a buck. Big gulps from the 7/11 next door were popular.
do they still allow bottomless mimosas at brunch? brunch is not a bar per se
In KY, you couldn’t see for less than cost.
One of the funny results is it was illegal to sell beer buy one get one free, as the free one was below cost. However, you could see 2 for the price of 1 as long as your mark up was high enough.
In KY, you couldn’t see for less than cost. – wow seeing costs money in the US? I blame savage capitalism
I have no idea about bottomless mimosas. Liquor laws are sometimes not enforced at high-end places. I remember my aunt occasionally taking me to dinner at her club and being able to order liquor while clearly being underaged.
I stand by the claim that New Orleans, LA has the only sensible liquor laws in the nation. No time/place restrictions, no bans on public consumption, grocers/gas stations/restaurants/etc. may sell both beer/wine and distilled beverages for onsite or to-go consumption; it was hard acclimating to a more restrictive location.
I imagine there were some discreetly filled pint glasses in that establishment.

Nothing to see here.
I directly observed, on a daily basis, City of Detroit election workers and employees coaching and trying to coach voters to vote for Joe Biden and the Democrat party. I witnessed these workers and employees encouraging voters to do a straight Democrat ballot. I witnessed these election workers and employees going over to the voting booths with voters in order to watch them vote and coach them for whom to vote. …
During the last two weeks while working at this satellite location, I was specifically instructed by my supervisor not to ask for a driver’s license or any photo I.D. when a person was trying to vote.
I observed a large number of people who came to the satellite location to vote in-person, but they had already applied for an absentee ballot. These people were allowed to vote in-person and were not required to return the mailed absentee ballot or sign an affidavit that the voter lost the mailed absentee ballot.
Absentee ballots that were received in the mail would have the voter’s signature on the envelope. While I was at the TCF Center, I was instructed not to look at any of the signatures on the absentee ballots, and I was instructed not to compare the signature on the absentee ballot with the signature on file.
Another thing everyon who is pushing the fraud angle is forgetting is that i highly down many people on Joe’s side even cares. It’s like “If we produce X amount of evidence, people will demand change”. This is not what is going to happen. The people who voted for Biden couldn’t care less if he won fairly or not (and vice-versa if the shoe was on the other foot). The fact that the vast majority of them will be spoon fed their opinion from CNN also means that they will never see anything that is “conclusive”, because CNN will never tell them that it is conclusive.
of course not orange hitler must be defeated at all costs, even if we become facists and destroy people’s business’s over the china flu or riots, lie and cheat in an election or get people fired for having moderate political positions.
I don’t think anyone is forgetting that. The fraud isn’t to convince people on Joe’s side or the media. The fraud is for the people who voted for Trump or care if we have finally made the jump into full-on tyranny with soviet style vote rigging. I’m not convinced the Supreme Court doesn’t care about popular opinion and there needs to be a very angry and riled up election-stolen side to counteract the pro-Biden side.
A fair Biden win would not be fun but is whatever. Fraud committed on this scale is a different story altogether.

I don’t think this is the own they think it is.
Stacy Abrams is entirely a media Creation, like Beto O’Rurke. She became a darling because she (like beto) “almost” won an election in a tradtionaly Red state. So she gets pushed from failure to failure upwards and onwards. I’ve said this before but i tend to agree with malice. the Media are not parts of the DNC. The DNC is the political arm of the Media.
Watching this just pisses me off for this reason… I’m not a Republican but that vid initially made *me* feel like a hypocrite. Am I becoming tribalized?

In the same boat.
In 2018 and 2016 very dismissive of the claims by the Dems of fraud. The Russians was fairly easy to disregard because it was so clearly had Hillary’s finger prints all over it.
So i’m trying to be skeptical of “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire” talk. As we’ve seen from Adam Shiff and many others over the last 4 years, saying shit is cheep and there are almost no repercussions for it. So, while i do think there is enough that it warrants investigation, i’m not sure i can say i think it’s definitive nor do i think it is guaranteed that it will flip the election if we reversed the fraud that is found.
Trump won the election, via Wisconsin, on election night, not days later. It was still recounted by

“To protect your hearing, your iPhone will measure headphone audio levels. If you exceed the recommended 7-day limit, a notification is sent and the volume is turned down. These notifications cannot be turned off.” A further link took me to some rubbish from WHO.

See what is unprecedented about this is not that the GOP is claiming the election wasn’t won fairly, but that they won’t conceede but continue to claim the election was won unfarily.
Gadzooks! I was a Socialist when I was a child and then I became a Man.
In 2016 Democrats contended that a handful of Russian funded Facebook ads stole the election. They then never stopped talking about it for the next three years.
In 2020 Republicans are contending that a wide ranging statistical disparity exists between this election and all other American Presidential elections. Presidents do not win Florida and Ohio, win the bellwether counties, pick up House seats, pick up state house seats, pick up governor’s races and then lose the Presidential election. That flies in the face of everything we know about American Presidential elections.
?
Its not even that, Viking. Its that the actual results from those states, especially the urban centers, are chock full of statistical red flags that are most obviously explained by fraud. Backed up with affidavits saying that, yeah, controls were overridden in ways that facilitate fraud.
While departing from historical norms of who wins what is interesting, its the other stuff that will win (or not) in the courts. The Repub strategy appears to be to have the courts simply throw out results from states that have sufficient doubt about the validity of their results, throwing the election to the House (per the Constitution). Interesting. The issue will come down to what constitutes sufficient doubt and what evidence will be needed to support that finding.
Probably their best strategy, but a long shot.
This has been the strategy advocated by Robert Barnes (on that Viva Frei podcast) from the very beginning; throw it to the House and make the Republican Whip earn his supper.
So you’re saying it will be a Dem Victory no matter what?
At least it would be legal.

Ah an independently wealthy man I see
I’ve been unleashing a shitstorm on social media this week. It does feel good. But mine is just a storm that’s blowing out; I’m making the jump to Parler this Friday.
Perfidy!
The attorney general, William Barr, has authorised federal prosecutors to investigate “substantial allegations” of voter irregularities in the election, despite a total lack of evidence. Trump supporters reacted to the news with joy, while lawyers and election officials expressed skepticism. The justice department official overseeing voter fraud investigations resigned a few hours later.
Where does “evidence” come from?
No one knows.
There was a time a few years ago when “respectable” broadsheet journalists would not have written “despite a total lack of evidence”. They would have thought it, and implied it, but style guides would have discouraged anything so opinionated.
In 2016 the media encountered political events they didn’t expect or understand. They explained this away by pretending that lies had convinced the thick electorate to do the wrong thing.
The journalist’s purpose since then has shifted from telling you what was said or done to trying to make sure that you’re not influenced in the “wrong” way by what was said or done.
The self-respecting hack can no longer write “Donald Trump accused Hilary Clinton of being the origin of birtherism”. The thicko reader might think that was true! You must now write, at a bare minimum, “Donald Trump falsely accused Hilary Clinton of being the origin of birtherism”. Now thicko reader knows what to think!
They’ve genuinely and irreparably damaged their own profession and reputations because they couldn’t understand why people might disagree with them.
^^^ Spot On!
Even the local station talking heads are tacking on “without any evidence” when reporting on this story. The delivery seems forced, though.
Step 1: Stipulate that you will not accept anything other than a sworn confession from Joe Biden as evidence
Step 2: point out that nothing meets your standard of evidence.
Step 3: state that there is no evidence
Step 4: repeat that there is no evidence
When the casual reader reads “No Evidence” it is much easier to assume there is no evidence than to go look for it.
I forgot:
step 5: when more “evidence” comes out, point back to previous times when you said that there was no evidence to show that the claim has already been debunked.
Thank you
Wasn’t an email from HRC’s primary campaign the origin of birtherism?
despite a total lack of evidence
If only saying it would make it so.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/breaking-exclusive-system-glitch-also-uncovered-wisconsin-reversal-19032-votes-removes-lead-joe-biden/
So, like, is this for real? Is it enough “evidence” to start an investigation?
Forgive my pessimism, but for all these “huge breaking exclusives” on fraud and computer glitches and nefarious activity at polling locations, I’m not seeing a whole lot of action. Maybe that’s because things are being held close to the vest, but the thing is:
For YEARS the conservative/GOP/right wing media have been making these overblown statements like some 3 a.m. infomercial. Nothing ever seems to come of them. Wouldn’t that be the definition of fake news?
Pretty much.
Don’t know what to say. It’s all political manuevering and posturing. There are still a lot of Democrats who think Bush stole the election from Gore, but mostly it was used for posturing during Bush’s presidency. It gets dusted out every once in a while. Likewise, the GOP will throw anything, see if any of it sticks and if not use it for rhetorical purposes in the future.
We are lied to from all sides incessantly. We choose the lies we believe and then angrily defend their truth outraged that others choose different lies to believe. TMITE is true, and no it does not just mean the left wing or mainstream media. Media is in the business of shaping opinion not reporting facts, all media.
Nope. This is akin to stepping on a cow-flop. It ain’t right. None of this is right. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it.
The fact that CNN and Fox are lying when they deny anything suspicious has happened in order to legitimize Biden does not make the lies from Gateway Pundit or PJ Media or Judicial Watch about “Trump has already won and we have irrefutable proof of fraud no court can refuse to accept” true. They are all pushing a narrative they want you to believe in and any truth contained in their articles is coincidental. There are no truly impartial honest reporters out there.
Do I think there was massive fraud? Of course I do. Do I want it over turned and the the perpetrators jailed? Hell yes. Do I think we should go to war if the fraud is allowed to stand? In my darker moments yes, but I believe that the side that is perceived as starting the war will lose. But none of that means that I trust media just because it tells me things I find comfortable or agreeable. And you should not either.
We are lied to from all sides incessantly.
This is true. Don’t take anything any political operative says at face value. Look behind it.
And looking behind the smoke around election fraud, I think there’s a fire. Probably a pretty big fucking fire.
Viking explains well why the demand for a smoking gun is naive at best, and duplicitous at worst. We already have multiple affidavits showing controls were stripped and shady shit happened. So the smoking gun goalposts will be moved and moved and moved.
The issue is that elections are a state matter. The premise is that even partisan elected officials will have a bare minimum sense of fair play and enforce the election laws. My contention is that after four years of TRUMP IS HITLER that even otherwise reasonable liberal types are willing to break the rules to get rid of him. I think you have enough people in positions of power and influence who are swaddled in the cloth of Russia, Racism, and RESIST!!!! to doing what is necessary to remove Trump.
There is no conspiracy. There is a total removal of election security, coupled with the injection of millions of mail in ballots, and then you just need enough elected officials to be willing to look the other way at a few crucial moments. The whole “there is no smoking gun” I have heard from Establishment Republicans and certain people at Reason is laughable, to me, because as libertarians we should be very familiar with spontaneous order, and decentralized people working toward a common goal without their ever being a Big Boss Who Calls The Shot.
Like, take the mail in ballots. They’re piled up in the counting facility. If you stop counting at 2 AM, and then at 3 AM someone comes in and dumps a bunch of ballots in the pile, and swishes it around….how could you sort it out? You don’t need a conspiracy. You just need a couple people willing to leave a door unlocked, and a couple other people willing to strike a blow against Literal Fascist Dictatorship.
Of course, the cognitive dissonance of thinking Trump is both a ruthless dictator and is also willing to be voted out of office is interesting.

“Politics Aside, Melania Trump Is The Most Beautiful First Lady We’ve Ever Had. Here Are Her 10 Most Fashionable Looks”
https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/politics-aside-melania-trump-is-the-most-beautiful-first-lady-weve-ever-had/
RACIST
Ok. I just had a funny thought.
Not that i think this is going to happen, or even possible. But what would be funny is if enough of the challenges went through and then Trump was declared the winner, and to see everyone flip overnight on the importance of investigating election fraud.
I say go Roman style and make em both president with the ability to veto each other.
And they swap each day on who is in charge of the military.
Originally, in the US, the runner-up for President won the office of the Vice-Presidency. They were forced to work together. That lasted until 1804, when the 12th Amendment was ratified. Mistake?
It’d be a mistake if Hillary or her ilk became VP.
“The president didn’t kill himself.”
No, because the election of 1800 was a clusterfuck because of it.
They’re all clusterfucks. Gridlock is good!
But it wasn’t gridlock. Electors had 2 votes each, so the electors on the “winning side” all voted for Jefferson and Burr. Since it was tied, it went to the House and the house deadlocked on which should be Prez and Veep.
Hamilton eventually convinced voters to flip and Jefferson won on the 36th ballot. This eventually led to the duel.
So, reduce that to only one vote per elector, have them vote for only one office (the higher of the two, presumably), and then tally the votes. Would that make it work better?
Well if they Democratic Republicans hadn’t fucked up and made sure the right person didn’t cast their second vote for the VP candidate, then it would have been fine.
Yep. I am guessing they picked a Burr supporter to do that job. Oopsie.
The Adams team got it right, as John Jay got one vote.
…while recent history is rewritten so that they were ALWAYS going fiercely after election fraud.
Actually, Biden’s lead in WI is about 21K votes, 15K in AZ, 12K in GA. Find enough fraud for SCOTUS to flip those three states, and its 269-269. Where ties are broken by the new congressional delegations, with each state delegation casting one vote.
The PA vote is 45k apart. Find enough fraud to flip that one, plus two of the others, and its an outright win for Trump.
So, unlikely, but possible.
The mail in ballots alone should be a rich vein of fraud to mine. Philadelpia County, per CNN, had 350k mail in ballots piled up waiting to be counted on E-Day. How many of those do you think have an actual live human being attached to them?
In 2012 when I ran for a state office as a write-in I was able to see my vote count (though, I was a registered write-in) I can’t find any info on how many write-in votes Kanye got in Wisconsin. Racists.
did you win?
If I did don’t you think I’d be too busy with cocktail parties to slum with the likes of this lot?
We may need a special prosecutor to investigate voter fraud, Chinese influence in the election and the foreign entanglements of the Biden family. If the Dems have nothing to hide then they should welcome such a thing.
Don’t forget Logan Act violations.
Presidents do not win Florida and Ohio, win the bellwether counties, pick up House seats, pick up state house seats, pick up governor’s races and then lose the Presidential election. That flies in the face of everything we know about American Presidential elections.
New Normal, FTW!
That’s not a case you make to SCOTUS. There, you need to prove something like this: “The vote margin was 12K in Georgia. We have documented 20K fraudulent votes, all for Biden. Y’all need to order the Georgia SoS to strike those 20K votes from the Biden vote count.”
Yes, the question is would SCOTUS accept something like, “Benford analysis suggests that there is a 98.6% chance that the fraud exceeds 12k votes. We can show examples of specific ones, but the total is a statistical analysis.”
I know the answer, of course.
How about a random, double blind sciency statistical analcyst using block chain micro AI?
“But riots!”
See OJ trial.

I think its high time we just give up on this democracy business.
I think we did many many many years ago. We just keep the vestiges around for traditions sake.
Serve everyone a bannock, the guy who gets the bean is king for a year. If the year goes well hand him (or her) a bag of money and wish him well. If it goes badly we cut his throat and let his blood revitalize the fields.
Do you have a newsletter?
I did but carving the runes into granite took up too much time, and I couldn’t afford the postage.
I have offered myself as dictator of America in the past. The offer still stands.
Oh sure, and as soon as we do, you’ll be having us sacrifice our beautiful vigins to you.
How about our beautiful v’gers?
Hell yeah! I propose a Constitutional Republic with a focus on personal freedoms and the restraining of governments.
I know we have a few Illinois glibs here — what is the actual on-the-ground state of things? I was in town (south Chicago suburbs) a couple of weekends ago — I am fairly sure that this was just a couple days after Pritzker announced a ban on indoor dining. Yet we ate at a lovely Polish restaurant — as a side note, I am fairly sure we were the only ones not speaking the native tongue. Further, it seemed like several other places we drove by over the course of the weekend were, in fact, having indoor diners.
Tundra – where are you seeing that Walz is going to lockdown further? Christ — that guy is a clown. Hopefully the powers-that-be in my town continue to ignore his enforcement orders.
There’s a restaurant in Barrington that is refusing to shut down in dining despite Pritzker’s orders. They basically said that restaurants aren’t spreading the disease and they can’t afford another shutdown. Guess where I’ll be eating at this weekend?
In da masssa’s house?! You fucking oreo! #RepublicansAreRacist
I don’t know about these reported “glitches”, but shouldn’t voting software be open source?
Open Source doesn’t really support the business model of companies in the “voting software” biz.
Sure it does, they are selling systems, not software. The hardware and installation and integration and a good money making source.
Cheekiness aside, you can’t really guarantee that the code being run is the code they say is being run.
Well, at least it could be investigated if it were open source. Now it’s just a black box.

No limits on pickles yet.
Costco was out of TP, hand sanitizer, wipes, and masks last week. The panic is back in full swing.
Yikes!
They’ve still got good stock on Amazon so get while the getting is good.
*orders back up case*
Got to use some of those Discover rewards points too.
We’re all in this together = hoarding
Did a grocery list yesterday and Walmart is limiting paper towels and toilet paper to one per customer again. I have been slowly accumulating TP so as to not run into trouble if there is another run on it by hoarders.
‘I hoard TP in case the hoarders come back!’
Over months to have extra on hand. I didn’t clean out a store…
My wife does the shopping and says the selection is getting thin again, so she’s starting to stock up.
anybody notice a lack of turkey’s in the stores?
Nope, the bunker cooler at the grocery was full yesterday.
Tonnes of Halloween candy at 75% off at every store.
Still bitter about utter absence of trick or treaters this year. Keep trunk or treating then, and my condolences about your bed-wetting parents.
What is the official glibertarian position on those wet wipes like toilet paper? Butt wipes, for men. It says fully degradable on the pack, but some say they are not and bad for the environment. But I like using them. But I feel guilty for clogging up the sewer.
A clean butt is the only thing known to man that has intrinsic value.
By all means, flush them down the toilet if you’ve got the hots for your plumber and want to see his butt-crack while he fixes your pipes.
It does not matter what they say on the package, those “degradable” wipes will clog sewer pipes.
I have a friend who is a plumber and his “clogged toilet and sewer line” calls have tripled since March.

Indeed! After shelling out for a Sunday emergency call and mitigating the effluvia flooded (sigh… carpeted) hallway, I bought my own snake (it chucks right into my drill). Only used it once but that was enough for it to have paid for itself.
Ugh! Yeah, it really pays to be able to do some basic repair stuff around the house. I had to remove a garbage disposal this weekend and take it out to remove a piece of metal spoon trapped inside it. I’m sure that would be at least $300 from a plumber here as I know they are all busy as hell now.
We feel that official positions are shitty.
What kind of commie shit are you pushing out that requires such a thing? ‘I needs baby wipes fer my ass to make me feel like a man!’
I use them when changing my dad’s diaper, and then they go in the trash.
“What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, three legs in the evening, and no legs at night?”
I miss my dad. When he died, due to my relationship as a caregiver for him, I lost my son, my dad and my best friend on the same day.
Sorry 🙁
Thanks, it’s been…OMG 6 years…time flies
when you’re having fun.I’m not trying to elicit sympathy though, but support this Jamie fellow.Ouch. Nobody should lose a child.
I didn’t, to be clear, I’m saying my father dying felt like all those things at once.
Ah, got it.
Invest in a bidet attachment for your seat.
I do not trust those things going into my septic system. Use a wet-wipes if you need to freshen up, but toss it in the trash.

Yet, as far as I can tell, all four of those stories are true.
This goes back to our discussion yesterday. I think it was Alysious who said he writes for an outlet with a Left Bent, and that even being presented with _facts_ that are in opposition to what one believes, generates a level of disgust.
This affects everyone (myslef included). It’s just easier to see when “the other side” does it.
For example, if you stated this facts, i’m sure you would get some kind of pained “what?!” reaction
– More people voted for Trump in his re-election bid than voted for Obama in his re-election bid.
How do you even begin to address this level of delusion? Those are statements of fact that just so happen to be accurate.
You are not allowed to even reference the notion that some people believe the election has not been decided yet.

It’s false because my faith says so!
The misinformation isn’t really false, but it’s might be used to support something I don’t want. So it is dangerous.
I mean from his perspective, it is perfectly cogent. Something making something i don’t want to happen slightly more likely is techincally dangerous.
For those who don’t know, the Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention is going on right now, and its open to the public (fedsoc.org). Listening to intellectuals talk liberty in a way that isn’t shaded by pomo leftist bullshit is refreshing, even when I don’t agree with everything said. The good faith used when addressing libertarian views is nearly impossible to find elsewhere in academia.
They are talking about libertarian views like they are legitimate?!?! This is the worst of “Both-side-ism”
Now I know the world is ending.
Thr current topic is stripping the “tiers of scrutiny” out of 1st amendment analysis and going back to the constitutional text.
“tiers of scrutiny” IANAL… so from an outsider’s perspective I’m reading that phrase as meaning a shit-ton of precedent that has to be considered, referred to, sorted out, etc. every time a 1A case comes up. I have wondered why all that’s necessary, why one can’t just look directly at The Constitution rather than through precedent-tinted glasses.
Because precedent lest third rate prosecutors who get selected to be judges feel important.
Ego uber alles.
Because!!111!1!11
Well, at the very least, precedent establishes that “Congress shall make no law” also applies to the executive and judicial branches besides just the legislative one, and it also establishes that the 14th Amendment incorporates the 1st Amendment against the states, or in other words that a state cannot restrict speech/press/assembly/religion/petition in ways the federal government is also forbidden from restricting them.
The problem is that precedent also gets used to undermine the text. “Congress shall make no law” even without precedent says, well, “Congress shall make no law” and yet several such laws have been made by Congress and tolerated by the courts, and that doesn’t even get into the 2nd Amendment’s “shall not be infringed”.
Ok, so some precedent is necessary to show the relation between some principles. Makes sense. But at some point some corollaries must be seen as obviously creeping too far from the lower level axioms and be discarded. I suppose that’d be a precedent that overturns precedent. Fuck.
“Are we really doing law here?”
Boom!
Thanks for the link!
I just had a brief gander at Sky News, on my way to the weather channel. Some Limey douchebag was interviewing a woman from Trump’s legal team, chastising her because President Cartoon Villain has not gracefully conceded and resigned so Ballgag joe can roll up his sleeves and begin the arduous task of healing the nation.
The Limey just about lost it when she pointed out the fact that Joe is not the “president elect” and will not be until the Electoral College votes.
Nothing like this has happened before!
Its always satisfying to see these types to face reality. Say what you will about Ted Cruz, but it warned my cold dead heart to see him lay into Fredo about CNNs coverage of Trump.
I’ve been in the back wood of West Virginia since the morning after the election, with no cell coverage, TV, or internet of any kind. . . did I miss anything?
Not much, you’re still a racist piece of shit wrecker, but now Joe Biden loves you and wants to smell your hair.
Cal 21, Notre Dame 72j
Lawsuits, election irregularities up the wazoo, media going full bore with “president-elect Joe Biden” messaging, FNC is dead, etc.
