ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
Where is Bigfoot and why no he come…and by cum, I mean come
Interesting to see that most of the VA house races – the blue ones up north seem to have higher % reported so far…guess we’ll see if there are any late dumps.

And the gift of the gun too right?
My worst fear did not come to pass. I was semi-terrified that the Deep State would decide that the way to nail down the election would be to have a MAGA guy assassinate Kamala.
Sure, Kamala wouldn’t be president, but King Walz would be. That would be worse.
They are building some sort of platform at the White House.
Wild ass speculation was that they were going to install Kamala early to replace Biden
At one point I guessed that, if Trump won, Biden would step down early so Kamala could have her spot in the history books, but now I’m pretty sure Biden hates her guts and is going to claim he would have won and spend the last months of his presidency rubbing that shit in her face.
Good news is she’ll have a ton of free time to day drink.
By the by, NRO was giving at least 52 senate seats to the elephants in their podcast yesterday. Dan McLaughlin was leaning up to 54 – but then he couldn’t remember which was the 54th.
Florida has 79% reporting 8 minutes after the polls close. The 3rd largest state in the country.
Pennsylvania… 3%
8:15
100% of the Florida result is in.
Sorry. Website glitch.
88.4%
8:18. Pennsylvania
7.2 %
Really?
In contrast, NY Times provides this useful info:
Arizona: First results are expected around 10 p.m. Eastern time. Most voters cast ballots by mail, and counting typically takes days. Officials in Maricopa County said full tabulation could take 10 to 13 days.
Perfect system for cheating.
Yup. Wait till the tallies are in, then figure out how many votes you need.
I remember when retirees with pencils got it done by dinner time.
Fox News called some states for Harris with 0% reporting. Like IL and CT. Not REALLY a surprise, but come on. At least act like you’re going to make it connected to some data.
Bret Baier wants to go to bed early again.
Fuck Fox News.
The interwebz and social media is where it’s at, Jack. Fox News friggin blows.
Social media blows, present company excluded.
I’ll flip between the Sabres and Fawx news but no way I’m watching intertube videos.
PS. agree with earlier thoughts about modern televisions and hawkey. It’s real nice to be able to follow the puck now.
In the olde days I could barely follow the game (and mostly didn’t watch because of that).
Get in, losers

I truly would like to think of Marc Elias in litigation against STEVE SMITH…
Ealy warning
Ohio showing “leans blue”
Isnt that where they dumped a few hundred thousand illegals?
AP is showing the bulk of OH leaning red for House. Blue areas are clearly the cities. If the cities are reporting early, the leans blue on the president map doesn’t mean anything.
AP now showing OH leaning red on the Presidents race.
I’m seeing a lot of cities reporting early, which is the opposite of every other election I have paid half-attention to before.
Abandon Harris and regroup for 2026?
That’s already gone the other way.
At this moment in time I am seeing Trump 105, Harris 72. The R’s are comfortably ahead in both house and senate. The R’s must be ecstatic . They may have another record breaking opportunity to drop the ball.
Where is my goddamned Obamacare repeal?
Repealing Obamacare wouldn’t make anything better in terms of our healthcare system. All that would happen is the toothless mandate wouldn’t even be able to gum you.
Now T 111 , H 72
This is historical.
And sad
Hysterical.
The newer spell check is killing me
Who is the fucking lurker?
I like it.
“Who is the fucking lurker?” I’m guessing it could be morganisawizard.

LOL
My wife laughed when I showed her.
All of the parties are jokes, the Libertarian party is the joke that isn’t funny.
VA is actually looking really tight with a lot of blue supposedly already reported (other than some “cities” up in NOVA). Guess we’ll see about surprises.
There’s 150,000 blue votes yet from their most populous county and this exact thing happened in 2020.
Don’t get too excited yet.
180,000 if it needs to be…..
Yup. Virginia going blue I think. Not enough of a lead for Trump.
Florida up at 93% in
VIRGINIA at 42%
FL 22+ million
Virginia < 9 million
According to current results, Harris leads in Loudoun by 36K and in Prince William by 35K. In 2020 Biden carried those by 66K and 61K respectively.
Hopefully it will be like 2021 when NoVa told McCunteface that they could not fix it for him.
So has NoVA been counted or not?
No. In fact most places are now calling Virginia for Kamala
An early call smells fishy.
They are holding out enough in case the rural/red areas get too uppity.
Fox is at least being careful but there aren’t enough trump votes for VA I don’t think.
so far no surprises.
Looks like they may need to start cracking out those stored votes.
As of 9:43 with 63% count, Trump is ahead 47K votes in VA.
It’s still in play.
I posted about this on ded thread – but wordpress is completely borked on firefox all of a sudden. Seems to be normal here, but on my normal view – as of the 8 PM update – whenever I open page, I only see any new posts – I see a total post count and any posts since the last refresh but nothing else. Really weird. Even happened to previous threads.
I don’t know what to say, I’m getting normal behavior (firefox 127 on Windows 10)
Not happening to me. (Firefox v 132 on Linux)
Nerd

When you’re talking about “my normal view”, are you referring to the main page? Any scripts blocked through extensions? Any extensions installed? Does it happen in a Private Window?

Breaking news! The LP found someone less compelling that Jorgenson or Johnson.
Last time I looked Oliver was down 50k to Jill Stein.
*adjusts tinfoil chapeau*
A deliberate misdirection to throw right wing Libertarians into Trump’s arms (that largely worked it seems).
Being the number 3 party was just too demanding.
I always found it telling that people would say “I understand the assignment,” especially in light of this quip.
Same people, for the most part.
Pennsylvania still only 13% in.
GOP counties: if you report anything before Philly area reports, you are idiots.
All of the liberal northeastern states being called…. with only 3 to 4% of the vote in.
How is it that slow to count votes?
Florida is closing in on having counted 11 million votes.
Yeah it’s kinda interesting how Florida really nailed down their election laws and now it’s solidly red.
Nailed down = vOtEr sUpPrEsSiOn

rhywun:
It’s racist to require an ID or proof of citizenship to vote, it’s also necessary to ban shirts and hats with wrongthink from polling places because people might have their vote influenced.

Looks like Travis Corcoran got re-elected to NH house – shifted from floating district 40 to Hillsborough District 28.
Massie was the first house seat called – unopposed
He had a great tweet. Said “it looks like i won, since I’m running unopposed and I just voted for myself…”
Well, it’s neck and chicken neck for pres. in VA right now.
Weird that Senate is a little lower – maybe because Kaine just has more name recognition than Cao.
Me from a bit ago:
Rebel Scum on November 5, 2024 at 6:37 pm
Forgot to mention…Clearly I voted for OMB and the Hillbilly, the Chinaman* (ok, ok he’s Vietnamese…) and some no name that has no chance in my House district.
*He was Cao-ing down on the polling gap recently, but Kaine the Kunte is probably too entrenched to be unseated.
Kaine has the establishment/deep state backing.
I’m not surprised Trump won the Puerto Rican vote in Florida. Word salad doesn’t translate into Spanish.
Oh, and Milwaukee had a problem with tabulation machines not being properly sealed…. so they are going to reset and start over, delaying the reporting of Milwaukee until Wednesday.
Let’s see…. Milwaukee, Atlanta….
Charlotte very slow.
Hmmm…. no problems in Miami (which is a basketball case compared to those cities). Or NYC.
Somehow swing states blue strongholds just have bad luck and get delayed…. every time
*whispers*
It’s by design.
I don’t know the in and outs of federal electoral laws but if the GOP wins big in the House and Senate, the first thing they should do is make Election Day a national holiday and absolutely dissuade early voting unless you are living or going to be abroad. The idea that our elections especially in swing states are this disorganized is a gotdamn disgrace and most likely by design.
Endorsed!
Federalism is a good thing – for states rights – but you need some standardization for common sense.
No exceptions, no for expats or military.
Yeah, that’s a good idea.
In good news, it looks like Issue 1 is going to fail. In bad news, it looks like 55 is going to pass.
Disenfranchising military serving overseas isn’t a good idea.
No military seems grossly immoral.
Take leave. Same with any other American absent from their polling location. It’s time to stop enabling everyone. Either arrange to be there or don’t be.
I do think public employees of any stripe should not hold or run for political office and I’m on the fence whether they should be disenfranchised entirely.
Any public employee, or an employee of a government contractor, or any other institution recieving government funding in the form of grants, loans, subsidies, or tax breaks, is not permitted to vote in any election related to those levels of government which funds their employment.
Too much conflict of interest there.
Same with welfare recipients. Any handouts from any level bars you from voting relating to that level.
Only the One True Scotsman will be eligible. Or would if they were a citizen.
“Any public employee, or an employee of a government contractor, or any other institution recieving government funding in the form of grants, loans, subsidies, or tax breaks, is not permitted to vote in any election related to those levels of government which funds their employment.”
Insane and unworkable. Right now, they can’t even enforce citizens over 18.
Oh, it’s easily workable – cut spending to next to 0 and ditch the tax carveouts and there’s just the direct employees left.
Milwaukee having shenanigans.
My current fantasy is to see NY (called super-early for Harris) flip as the night goes on.
I really want to see NY flip.
I’ll settle for Prop 1 going down in flames, but the best of all worlds would be a legislature that dismantles the downstate fraud machine.
I’m aiming high for VA but y’all are reaching for the stars there. That said, I agree that it would be awesome.
It’ll flip a la Guam with too many people on it before it flips politically.
I seriously doubt Prop 1 goes down given the propaganda surrounding it.
I’m more concerned about upstate House seats flipping to the Dems.
What about downstate coattails flipping the other way?
Trump got 80+% last time in Brooklyn districts with lots of Hasidim. Queens are SI are loaded with ethnic whites who vote GOP.
NYC is a bit more politically diverse than most people think. It’s not like some of the smaller cities in NY that are less diverse in most ways.
As I expected, it’s sailing to easy victory.
Chalk up another win for shameless propaganda.
Ukraine called for Harria
Hahahahaha!
Likewise for this carpetbagging cunte.
Remember folks…any numbers from a news agency are projected and speculation…
Harris looks way ahead in PA.
Will be interesting.. Here is the SOS site for PA.
https://www.electionreturns.pa.gov/General/VoteByMethod?officeId=1&districtId=1&ElectionID=105&ElectionType=G&IsActive=1&isRetention=0
Repubs have been claiming for the past week they were ahead in mail-in votes….
Where’s the % counted value on that page?
Up by 200k votes with 27% reporting
Last go-around, they waited until all the election day votes were counted to begin the mail in ballots.
Trump only has a 200,000 vote lead in Georgia, with Atlanta holding back.
Printing press goes brrrrrr….
Watching Tucker stream from Mar-a-lago. They’re only occasionally mentioning vote counts, but he’s talking to some interesting folks – since I started watching, Vivek, Don Jr., and now Nigel Farage.
Is that on X?
YouTube. Now talking to Dana White.
Whenever I see that name I keep getting confused with Vana White.
Thanks 🙂
WHy did he stop streaming????
I think I heard him say something about going to join the party (and he didn’t mean a political party.)
There’s free food!
Wife is watching NBC. They seem oddly calm and collected about the results. Have used the phrase “threat to democracy” several times… but seem unconcerned about how trump is doing.
I wonder if they know something I don’t know?
Dont look way into it.
Most of the stations are ok just for reporting results. Nothing much they can do now.
Also nothing so far happening different than 2020.
They try to create a buzz of inevitability to supress the west coast vote
I remember in 2000 they called florida for Gore and said Georgia was too close to call.
Georgia went 60-40 for Bush, and we all know about Florida.
But they went on national TV and said this basically made a Bush win impossible, driving down the west coast republican vote. (This was 7 pm eastern, before the polls in Florida even closed. Some west coast polls had 5 hours left)
You’re harshing my buzz, pickle.
Well remember these states Trump lost by tiny margins so we might not know for awhile.
They put up the margins over time from 2020… and … yup everything looking very similar so far but it’s hard to drill down and really see.
Idk. ABC called PA last week during a race.
Trust NYT….didn’t their IT crowd vote to strike?
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/11/05/us/elections/results-president-forecast-needle.html
Unless they shut off the computers on their way out, you have a few days before the wheels come off.
Interesting. I wonder what the model is.
Check out Jill Biden’s outfit today. Wow they hate Kamala.
https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1853922302989361167
Tbf she considers Kamala to be “the help”…
Oof
Red doesn’t equal MAGA.
Tell that to Juicy Smolliette
She wrote in Mao?
In fact they used to switch the party’s colors every election until the 80s.
I doubt she voted for Trump.
Write in for Joe?
That bitch totally new how her choice would be interpreted. Doesn’t matter who she actually voted for. It’s inconsequential.
But yea…there’s plausible deniability to say she just wore patriotic colors.
RCP has CT at 4% and DC at 0%. What the everliving fuck?
Its projected…its speculation. What does their Secretary of State say?
DC polls are not closed.
Why?
Dunno.
Do they even have an electoral vote? Or is this just for their local officials and non-voting rep in the House?
23rd amendment says they get treated like a state for presidential vote.
So they get 3 electoral votes.
That is two too many! They don’t have Senators.
Wonder who is going to win DC.
nailbiter.
DC gets 3 per the 23rd Amendment.
That is two too many! They don’t have Senators.
They also want those and a rep.
You know what would amuse me to no end – if they put all this effort into delaying PA and the state ends up irrelevant to the victory totals.
That would be awesome.
if Trump gets Michigan or Wisconsin doesn’t need it.
I’m holding out for Trump loses the election but wins the popular vote. All of the advanced thinkers completely reverse course and abandon their “principles”, explaining how the electoral college saved democracy. Throw in the GOP taking the Senate and things get really fun. Oceans of blather from the pundits, pollsters switch to selling real estate.
I’m not holding out hope for that because that complete reversal of taking points has happened about everything for my entire life. I am bored of it.
No.
That would be epic…
Except they would take out all free speech. So pyrric victory at best…
What principles?
Howdy

Trump won NC.
The “suppress the vote with a hurricane” ploy didn’t work.
Welp. I really thought my hurricane machine was gonna do the trick there.
It’s nothing to HAARP on.
Darth Cheney is weakening.
I don’t see anyone calling NC yet.
I did. I was going to give the link, but it has been pushed off the bottom of the site I was following updates on
Breitbart reports DDHQ called NC for Trump No legacy networks tho
Lots of big blue counties in NC with only 30% of votes counted. but I’m no expert.
270towin has.
Trump by a quarter million in NC with 3/4 of the vote in.
Looking likely
I’d love to see Mark Robinson as NC Governor, but I doubt it’ll happen.
Too many fumbles by that guy I think.
So: Hunter Biden pardoned tomorrow morning or do you think Jill strings him along for a couple months out of spite?
WMUR called the NH governor race for Kelly Ayotte.
No real dog in that fight, but good – the Craig ads just would not stop.
” pointing to neighboring Massachusetts, where Democrats control the state government and dominate the congressional delegation, Ayotte made her slogan “Don’t Mass UP NH” her campaign’s rallying cry.’
She’s not wrong.
Craig campaigning with Maura Healey only sells well in certain segments.
270towin has Manchester at 71% reported with Ayotte ahead of Craig, which is not at all surprising given that Craig’s handpicked successor lost the Manchester mayoral race.
AP says GOP has picked up 2 House seats.
I thought the sentiment was they were losingl the house. Interesting.
I’m almost more wanting that + the House to at least get a split if the sacks of ballots put First of Her Name on top.
Watching MSNBC and looking at the NYT website. The NYT projections are getting better for Trump.
Looked about the same at this time in 2020 though so I’m cautious.
I’ll feel more confident when the MSDNC talking heads start crying.
If that happens I’m switching over.
The Young Turks in 2016 was a classic.
I don’t look directly upon them, but I am getting secondhand reports of despair.
I know that’s very poor evidence.
Absolutely. That is a must see live moment.

She doesn’t turn any of my parts to stone.
I’m actually working (mostly) but will 1000% switch on the TV if it comes to a re-run of the Young Turks losing their shit.

Fubo.tv doesn’t have CNN. Buy I just realized I can watch CNN on Max.
My wife doesn’t care for the Fox coverage but I like the fact that the ticker keeps going during commercials.
Lefty channels are only worth watching if tears are imminent.
The Fox coverage is fine so far ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
NYT: Trump’s chance of victory is 82%.
How is the LP doing? Bad enough to get a better draft pick next election?
They should pick SugarFree. No idea if he is a felon?
Convicted? No, never convicted.
He wrote that’s why he can’t vote?
PA showing as “leans republican” with 50% in.
Shenanigans have not yet begun. But….
If this continues, it may not be such a long night after all.
Trump was leading PA until 8pm on Wednesday in 2020.
Fox was saying earlier that Harris needed to get 700k votes from Philly to win PA. That’d be 100k more than Biden, roughly.
Trump team is fighting to keep them counting tonight in PA.
Uh… Was Wisconsin supposedly a swing state?
Uh are you sure that’s correct?
I have no idea
Because i am just watching the tv and they’re only showing like 25% counted
That was an error it turns out.
Trump by 10k with just shy of half the vote
NYT says 49% counted.
I don’t trust them, but it’s the first additional data point I’ve found
Been acknowledged as a mistake.
That woulda basically been the election.
Oh well.
Yeah got really excited for a sec
Google (via AP) still has Wis 49.8/48.7 Trump with 50% counted.
Gotta look at the county breakdowns. Big blue counties still outstanding? Not a good lead.
Yup.
Milkwaukee has a machine issue.
Giant blue county delayed.
Virginia, Biden by 15k with 2/3 of vote in
Harris. Whatever.
Has Fox called AZ yet? If not..they are late
It’s funny people are still mad at that though because actually their math was correct.
Right or not, they called it erroneously no? I get projection, but people were still voting I believe and ballots were still be counting.
Well. There were some shenanigans going on in that state but I think they extrapolated correctly from data at that time.
Politico has an interactive vote map
https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/11/05/2024-election-results-live-coverage-updates-analysis/jordan-detractors-reelected-00187602
But it’s also politico.
Yes. Regardless they have excellent maps each election.
The

NYT predictor has Trump at 82% chance of victory.
Isnt this the model they were using that said Hillary was a lock?
Are they punking me?
Yes. I am with Urthona. I have seen this before.
They have Trump winning the popular vote
Definitely punking
Yeah NYT had trump way up this time in 2020 too.
I’ve seen this. But things are ticking up by about 2% for trump. That may just be enough.
FWIW, NYT predicts Trump takes electoral and popular vote now.
Punking us because of 2016
Is there a livestream of the Harris watch party anywhere?
This is something the world needs
Those people don’t party, laugh or have fun. I bet they are just sitting in chairs, blaming each other.
RCPhas it at
211 Trump
112 Harris atm
Virginia still under 20k votes separation with 68% in
What source?
Using Politico map. Seems to pull directly from state data
Some ridiculous reporting delays on the Fox map. Lynchburg still at 0%.
They seem to vary a bit from DDHQ.
GOP losing a couple House seats in AZ. Will GOP lose the House?
A D House is the worst for fiscal sanity.
D house would wreck the country
If Trump wins they would impeach on day 1
And if Harris wins they will push more massive spending bills.
Yeah, that’s the most important “race” tonight.
Not if repubs get senate or presidency.
NYT: Trump’s chance of winning is 86%.
Team Red is plus 3 in the House right now according to RealClear. If Trump wins he is going to have both Senate and House.
After which they will promptly do nothing with it.
Hopefully they’re fiscally smarter than Trump because I actually don’t want tariffs and was counting on congress to take back that power
That would still be an improvement.
Arizona essentially tied with half the vote in

Wisconsin Trump by 20k votes with 54% in
Not enough to overcome the printing press
Looks like the traitor Vindman is picking up a house seat.
How? He couldn’t remember what district he was running for and held more events outside of it than in?
It’s a carpetbagger district ever since redistricting put Hoodbridge as the core.
Man, VA is the worst.
It was already a D seat so not a D pickup but definitely a dishonorable douche pickup.
Ha
Isnt he the brother? I can’t remember which is which
Yes. Lt. Cunte Vindman is the brother that insisted on civilian leadership addressing him by his military title in a committee hearing. Both are assholes of the highest order. They need to get out of my state and country. Send them back to Ukraine where they belong.
Fuck both of them with a rusty chainsaw.
Good night all. I expect the scheduled overnight dump will go as planned.
Mass is only partially retarded:
https://www.wcvb.com/article/2024-election-results-massachusetts-ballot-questions/62522396
Yes to rideshare unions – bad: let’s add another $25 to every Uber ride.
No to forcing tipped workers to the minimum wage – good: that would have killed restaurants dead.
Yes to dropping MCAS as a high school graduation requirement – bad: because objective standards are raycist! Or something.
The other two I’m ambivalent about – yes to auditing the legislature but the auditor is an elected executive-branch position, which isn’t great. My registered-R buddy things the rump Republican Party in this state should be laser focused on the state auditor race next time around for this reason.
No to “legalizing” psychedelics – it created a whole huge raft of new licensing with all the associated opportunities for graft.
The restaurant tipping question was the only one where I agreed with the rest of voting Massholes.
Pleasantly surprised that didn’t pass.
I guess enough people know servers; I don’t know a single one who was for it.
Have Lyft and Uber said what they will do?
Also, sorry MA has voted for the endumbening. Speaking for CA, enjoy the ride down.
Dunno – only certain thing is that consumers will lose, unless the drivers are smart enough to tell the union organizers to get fucked.
I was just in Boston visiting my daughter. Among the intelligentsia, unionization would be easier. Among the Lyft drivers I met, I’m not sure.
No to forcing tipped workers to the minimum wage – good: that would have killed restaurants dead.
Maybe in the short term. It’s been that way forever here and still have restaurants.
Yes, in the long term some restaurants will figure it out. We have “no tipping” restaurants now, which just tack on 20% (or more) onto your bill vs. you tipping.
Any resturant who wants to do so now can do so. Notably, they’re all higher-end places.
In the short term it will blow up a lot of restaurants, needlessly, and will have a disproportionate impact on more downmarket places.
Are we still abolishing the filibuster and packing the Supreme Court? Unless something has changed….
It doesn’t look like even if Harris ekes out a win that will be possible.
Yep positive is split government. Which is what we should always be.
Do you have the results of the Florida vote? My internet is down.
They enshrined the right to give weed to fetuses in their constitution.
Do you have the results of the CA election yet?
Newsome 35%, Biden 20%, Trump 30%, Stein 10%, Harris 3%, Other 2%
Looks like we’re making theft illegal again and not raising the minimum wage, and, surprisingly, the rent control prop is going down too.
OTOH some stupid bond issues passed and we’re funding Medi-Cal until the end of time.
Also, more gay marriage.
Looks like at least 3 GOP House seats lost in NY. Mike Johnson probably puckering up.
Looks like the illegal mid-census gerrymandering is working as advertised.
Oh yeah.
NYT: “OK it’s 2300 on the East coast, so California’s closed. We’re gonna go ahead and mark CA and WA blue on the map and tag those electors to Kamala, but at the same time our model’s gonna creep Trump’s % of winning up to 89%.”
Yeah, Trump’s not picking up shit on the west coast. Makes sense to me.
Polymarket:
https://polymarket.com/
Whoa. Trump with 94%. Harris is toast if that’s right.
I’m out for the night.
It looks like Republicans will control the NH state government with the Federal “stuff” staying Democrat.
I do not understand your people.
Sherrod Brown loses 51 to 46
Libertarian pulls in 3.5% well played!
The momentum is on our side. 4% in 2028.
The LP performing like it has with a Trump victory is surprising to me.
Green party pulling more no?
No candidate in that race
We had a Libertarian in the Senate race as well as the Presidential (Green only were on the Presidential).
Where’s that cunt Hype?
Sticking to a 300+ EC win for Trump…not some smackdown, though he will claim it is.
For modern elections, it is a pretty thorough beating.
So, what’s everyone doing tonight?
*looks at glass of bourbon* None your business Fed
You are the smartest of us.

It’s an office day tomorrow, so I need clean work clothes.

I’m working here in Korea. Pretty great to keep up a site that is streaming results and watching things change.
For a long time Minnesoda was leaning red. I was soooooo hopeful. It is leaning blue now. I’m sure the early results were from Outstate Minnesoda that hates Walz’s guts.
I don’t know why they early reported. I’d wait until Hennepin and Ramsey county posted their results (home of Mpls and St. Paul). Make them show their cards first. Don’t let them know how many trunkfuls of ballots they need to “find”.
Come on Kami you can do it!

Yeah, Tucker’s an oddball.
I’ve never been any sort of fan of any of the political talking heads – they all come off as weirdos to me.
Surfing several websites. I’m still worried about 3 AM ballot dumps. Some sites have said this is Gen Z’s election, a big FU to Gen X.
Gen X bitch slapped them.
Interesting. Could be true.
Whatever.
Under 30s are way underperforming for Herself compared to Joe.
Gen X?
Who the fuck are they?
MSNBC says mail in ballots will win Pennsylvania
Didn’t the news report that PA counts the mail in ballots first?
No. By law they cannot open them until the other votes are counted.
Supposedly, Trump is doing much better in mail ins in PA this time around. 66/33 Harris compared to 75/25 Biden.
Sounds like roughly 175k ballots left in Philly, and even at 80% Harris, its not enough for her.
“Wait a minute, we just found two million ballots in the back of this truck. Turns out they’re all party-line (D)”
WTF is an “in person absentee ballot”?
It’s where you arrive in person, get the paperwork, fill it in and hand it over in the same visit.
Bitcoin is pumping this indicates a Trump win I would say
Fox is saying it looks like Dems will retake the House
This is funny because it looks like all electable pieces of government have a good chance to flip.
If that happens and Trump wins, it could actually be the end of the republic.
No chance they don’t go right back to impeachment
It’s not going to happen. R’s will control all (narrowly).
Fox is calling the Senate for the GOP.
Poly market says that it’s 20% chance of D’s taking House.
Hakeem Jeffries is going to make me miss Pelosi, isn’t he?

MSNBC saying Kamala is in great shape to “thread the needle.
Convincing half the country she will win
I have been flipping between NBC and Fox. NBC talking heads are trying hide their nervousness. Fox talking heads seem genuinely curious how this is going to turn out.

Ugh. my FWB just texted me to ask if I voted for Kammy.

It’s a shame their National Guard hasn’t gone full Kent State.

Michigan is still nowhere near counting half of their votes. That is insane.
Something is fishy with that
Is that the official SoS site? Or new reporting?
As of right now, 38.2% .
11:43pm now
Polls closed at 9
2 hours and 43 mins.
FL was at double that in 10 minutes.
California will probably not finish for a week. Both states could take a lesson from FL.
It’s a lesson they have no desire to learn.
Maybe it is the GOP districts not wanting to post their results until Detroit does? Like I said above, it might be a game of chicken where they don’t want The Machine to know how many votes it has to “find”.
Hopefully.
Force the fraudsters to commit first.
Could explain why I saw a while back the cities were reporting way earlier than they usually do.
Well, a memo must have gone out.
Dems on every network saying “all the votes must be counted”
Which tells me the fortification plan is a go.
All votes are ballots, but not all ballots are votes…
I am feeling confident b that Kamala will not win.
https://media.tenor.com/rfukGxv_r9oAAAAM/wwe-kamala.gif
Not really seeing Harris win here.
I still want to know if this is past the margin of fraud
That’s a big question.
The next would be trying to disqualify him.
Define “fraud.” Jamie Rat-skin said a Democrat House would not certify a Trump win.
Now that Trump’s the crown prince or heir apparent or whatever, do I still have to go to work tomorrow? Can I claim emotional distress because I’m partying too late?
Right there with ya
Nope.
There is a cacophony from dem shills “let’s count all the votes”. The steal is on.
Wondering if the Journos are working off the old script out of reflex.
Not sure if this is true.

Amazing how 100% of the late shifts or recounts always end up going the Democratic way?
The first time they tried this it was when Franken beat Norm for the Minnesoda Senate seat. Every single adjustment went the DFL way. They were always minor clerical errors that were just being rectified. But these minor changes kept happening until Franken got more votes and then all the counting stopped.
The MSM flooded the airwaves with stories about how on the up and up it all was.
After 2020 I’m doubly worried we are going to start seeing barriers put up at the counting sites and massive vote dumps showing up.
If that happens, there need to be massive mag dumps at those sites to deter future repeats.
Yup. That was my first “wow, they just stole that election ” moment.
A couple of places went 100% for Franken, and had more votes than Voters
I’m going to bed. If they pull up truckloads of fake ballots, there will be trouble tomorrow.
Eh.
Maybe, but the RNC seems to be much more on top of this stuff than four years ago.
Who was chairman of the RNC last Prez election?
I just looked it up; it was Ronna McDaniel.
From Wikipedia: During McDaniel’s tenure as chair of the RNC, the Republican Party lost eight gubernatorial elections, four seats in the United States Senate, 20 seats in the House of Representatives, and the presidency. In December 2022, Axios wrote that McDaniel “has thus far failed to preside over a single positive election cycle.”
The article bills her as a staunch Trump supporter, but she is also the niece of Mitt Romney, who hates Trump.
Trump’s fuckup in 2020 was not suing everyone before the election started.
In Minnesoda the DFL SoS agreed to “settle” on some huge changes in election law. The group sued saying that the pandemic meant that the laws should be loosened up.
By settling, the laws were changed without the legislature’s approval (and the state constitution says that they are the only ones who can change them). A few of the GOP wanted to sue, but the others all wussed out.
Trump should have stepped in and sued at that point. By waiting until after the election to challenge, there was no hope to rectify things.
It’s almost like the pandemic is over and the laws should be returned to where they were.

Withholding making calls
Some 350k votes outstanding in Georgia. Trump up 120k
Even 70/30 doesn’t do it.
Wonder what will happen?
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said at a press conference Tuesday night that “Donald Trump has an insurmountable lead with the number of votes outstanding.” – ABC
And yet…. not called
Whose statement do you count as “calling”?
Would that put Trump over or does he need another cheater state?
I don’t know.
I can’t remember what these states are worth in EVs.
Would that put Trump over or does he need another cheater state?
Trump needs three out of four of GA, PA, MI, and WI.
Per RealClearPolitics, GA has 16 electoral votes. They show Trump/Vance with 232 and Harris/Walz with 216 at the moment.
WI 10
MI 15
PA 19
GA 16
Needs to get 38 EC votes.
Ignoring AZ at this point.
He has Georgia, even CNN has admitted it now.
NBC has called GA for Trump.
Trump is up 115K in WI; 210K in MI; and 170K in PA.
Even in big cities, manufacturing 100 to 200 thousand votes out of thin air is going to be obvious.
Brazen is the word I have been using.

I’m wondering if the Democratic Party is willing to cheat for Kamala (in the glaring way it did for Biden).
The saner people in the party must realize how bad she would be as a president. They also know that their Trump hysteria is bullshit.
My gut feeling was that this election was a flyer that the Dems took on just how effective an entire campaign of gaslighting by the entire MSM could be. If Kamala wins, great. They now know that with the MSM they can get anyone elected. If she loses, also fine. She’s not going to get to jump to the front of the line in 2028 as a black/asian/woman who’s turn it is.
Kamala the Loser.
The jockeying will begin. Shapiro and Newsom circling like the beginning of STTOS fight.
She’ll be shredded in the primaries. If she’s still alive after a 4-year bender.
Zero chance she’ll run again if she loses.
Zero chance the party lets her on any ticket if she tries either.
Yeah, there is no way she ever wins another office.
Of course, she is from California, so maybe they can still grease the wheels to get her something.

The pants shitting by the talking heads on the NBC broadcast brought a smile to my face.
I think Dana Bash is on the edge of tears.
Trump wins, the real excitement begins.
My only election prediction I’m giving this year:
The lib tears aren’t going to be nearly as free-flowing and delectable as they were in 2016. Harris didn’t offer much to women. She wasn’t an icon for aging lib voters like Hillary was, she was hated by the hardcore pro-Hamas youngsters, she had no real runway, given that her plane never taxied, so she couldn’t really excite anybody, much less the minority voters Dems think are theirs by right of conquest or whatever. I don’t think Dems, whatever their histrionics up till now, will be super surprised or all that upset about her loss.
I’m sad to say it, but I think the tearful tragic 2016 lib voter footage is a thing unique to 2016. We’ll always have those moments to reflect on and chortle over, but in 2024, we’re all a bit wiser and more cynical and frankly surlier and more aware of the cameras constantly on us.
I’m afraid, friends, I’m finally sick of winning.
Pallets of ballots are currently being delivered to a “counting center” in Philly. You know, to save democracy.
Maybe the GOP learned something in 2020.
https://x.com/ChairmanWhatley/status/1853994922350678200
This is what I’m hoping, that the GOP has learned from the disastrous Trump years and are zeroing in on the real pressure points that Dems have been exploiting for years. You don’t want them to cheat? They’ll always cheat. So shine a light on the cheat, watch the roaches scatter.
My question is – what degree of certainty do I need that some kind of graveyard shift shenanigans aren’t going to shift the results before I can stop watching and go to sleep?
A Harris spokesman just said she won’t address the crowd. She’ll do it tomorrow a la Hillary. It’s done.
Odds she’s too drunk to speak?
Never stopped her before.
I know I am.

How is Kari Lake going to explain her loss?
Too many leftist fags in AZ?
Probably. Let’s hope Trump throws her under the bus and calls her a loser.
Hope not. She is fine. AZ is a basket case.
Minnesota stopped counting.
Why? What scam are you pulling? More trunk ballots?
union break?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPvIQ82rd1g
I don’t see anything about them stopping counting. But I did see these live results. The only county that hasn’t reported their results yet that will go for Harris is Olmstead (Rochester and the Mayo clinic).
Trump is only down 50K votes there now. That has to be a kick in the nards for King Walz. The most perfect end to this race could be Harris losing and Minnesoda going for Trump. Watching Walz slink back to spend his last two years as gov with that shame hanging over his head would be epic.

So the MIC/DS decided that Harris was just too stupid to be workable?
T-dog is currently ahead on the popular vote, no?
That would be delicous.
Incomplete count from DDHQ says 64 mil to 59 mil.
It looks like he is going to win the popular vote and EC. I can’t wait to see the Colbert/Kimmel meltdown.
Desert you say?
Who or what is Ralston?
No clue.
At 71%, Trump is up by 20K in Nevada, a 2% spread. Still a toss-up.
DDHQ has Trump at 51-48 in PA with 91% reporting and Trump currently at 251 in the EC. PA ends it. Time to call.
Is he beating any likely 3am ballot dumps?
The poll monitors and legal teams have been much more aggressive at preempting attempts in this round. It might be possible.
Fox just called PA for Trump.
Welp, Fox just called it for Trump. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was coming here to tell you guys that.
Time will tell. It depends on the dead vote. But they’ll need 230,000.
…aaaaannd it’s called.
MSNBC is calling it too. Also President Popular Vote.
Where’s baked penguin?
Whoops, that’s just the individual states. Still blathering on PA.
Loving the D Senators losing re-elections, not just open contests. Eat it, bitch.
Looking ahead:
Looking at the OBVIOUS conspiracy theory here:
He’s being allowed to win. Harris was a stooge. Trump is walking into a political disaster Democrats realized they’d never resolve. More likely: they laid these tripwires knowing they can’t be resolved. Immigration: obvious. Too many illegals in the country to expel, too many coming in to repel. Social services: the income ceiling is dropping steadily and the outgo is rising rapidly. Home ownership? no resolving this, also a consequence of limitless illegal immigration. Let alone subsidizing healthcare and social security. And it’s not like Trump has resisted promising socializing these concerns. He’s been pretty flagrant about it. He’s kinda dumb that way.
TRUMP’S WALKING INTO A TRAP
PANIC
Agressive deportation. Deploy the army to assist, we’ve got lots of airlift capacity and boots on the ground to remove invading aliens is the army’s job. Plus a lot are already concentrated in known locations.

Nah, that’s too much 8D chess. Too many cooks in the kitchen, too many hands on oars pulling this way and that.

DDHQ says Harris still has a 4.3% chance to win, even after Trump hit 270
::shrugs:: Alaska’s actual count is only 30% finished.
Alaska is not realistically in play.
PA could still drop a few hundred thousand lost ballots.
I said it six months ago and I will say it again; this is the Arc of the Hero (or antihero if he prefer). America could not resist another few seasons of the Trump Show. My greater hope is that the Dems return to some sort of sanity. It’s bad for the country to have a Dem party so hard left. It may take Vance winning the next time for it to truly sink in, but you could bet on before that election if they saw the writing on the wall.
I bet Shapiro is smiling. He made the right call not hitching his wagon to Kamala. Now he’s ready for 2024.
Shapiro and Kamala? Does he wear the little hat during sex?
MSNBC is already trashing the Trump administration – RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA!

Cavalier beat me to it. If Trump did pick up PA then game over. 267 plus Alaska =270. She could take all the rest and wind up with 268. No matter how badly they beef up the remaining ballots, the EC is the same.
He’s got a lead of 300K and widening in PA with not that many left to count.
*200k? Sorry My math is bad because it’s quarter to 2 am
Couple hundred thousand in Philly to drop in the morning. Trump should still win but they will probably pull Casey through.
Couple hundred thousand in Philly to drop in the morning.
Fuck that noise. Regardless of tonight’s outcome, there’s a real need for electoral system reform.
McCormick currently has a lead of 85K over Casey with 94% counted. But of course it isn’t over until all the ballot boxes have been delivered.
You know what they say, it’s not over until Lizzo sings.

Yup. It should look like 1984.
Well…I wish I looked like I did in ’84.
There was a lot of really shitty music in the ’80’s but that wasn’t some of it, they were just wrong, that’s all.
The Dems needed a spanking. They got a big ass one. It feels like the Woke Moment has passed. Let’s hope it gets pushed even further to the side and the Dems start having to worry about the guy that is waiting in the number 2 spot, that is far more intelligent and well spoken than Trump.
Seems like the MSM isn’t declaring Trump the winner.
Other than Fox News.
Kamala won’t give a speech until tomorrow.
Maybe she’s waiting for the fake votes to arrive.
Go to bed President Trump. Wake-up President Harris.
Sounds familiar.
And the NY Post. Every other outlet I checked is saying Trump has 248.
NYT and AP are holding out until the last. The cope is strong.
I look forward to more scream at the sky rallies.
Fox just called WI for Trump, so even if PA has a late dump, Trump only needs one of the remaining states (NV, AZ, MI).
PA is around 95% counted, according to all the news sites.
I don’t think any fraud ballots can be used, now.
Wow. Just a quick trip through the media shitheads and they are all turning on the regime.
Too little, too late I hope.
One of the first things that President Trump should do is start pushing for a Constitutional amendment to safeguard Federal elections.
I think federalizing elections would backfire bigly. A constitutional amendment would allow Team Bleu an avenue to wheedle something like making voter ID illegal or otherwise undermining the EC out of the nazgul.
Yeah. It’s a state issue.
Agreed. We must preserve Federalism.
At the same time, states on an individual level need to sort themselves out.
Kamala lost because 20M voters failed to turn out for her. Also Trump didn’t do as well as 2020 because he’s a loser.
Which makes 2020 even more ridiculous.

I’m kind of glad I didn’t go to sleep.
I am honestly surprised that this seems to be resolving tonight.
Praise allah
This really the best possible outcome. Not just because some of my pet policies might be made real, a resounding Team Blue win (as unlikely as that seems in retrospect) would have been a better outcome than a protracted battle.
Agreed OBJ- it is good for the country to have certainty. The election ‘stealing’ talk from either side is not good.
Too big to steal
Never change MSNBC! Trump is declaring victory early.
Also, “Noncitizen voting bans pass in state ballot measures, despite lack of evidence”. Yeah despite the increasing revelations from illegal friendly states.
I guess they think Harris can win Alaska
The Des Moines Register thought Harris could win Iowa, and Trump carried it by a *larger* margin.
So the early signs were that team red would lose the house.
That may not happen now.
And by virtue of a 4-6 seat majority, the Senate is not going be held hostage by the likes of a Romney or Collins.
Wherein a compromise means Team Blue gets everything they want except for one thing and Team Red gets nada.
Fuck you, black pillers. Fuck you very much.
I’m usually one of those. WOW
again, what do black pillers have to do with the election?
There is a great deal of bigotry against black licorice jelly beans.

I just stepped in the door from Yellowknife to find the weather worse here than it was there; both colder and snowier. I had no idea what I would find from the election results when I got off the plane but I will say, with a flair for understatement, that I was pleasantly surprised.
I am, nor have I ever been, a Republican. I’m far from a doctrinaire conservative. However, I will unashamedly say how happy I am that Trump won. The man has many deep character flaws and I find the cult of personality surrounding him to be creepy and gauche. But, I do believe that he actually loves this country and he stands for common sense on many issues that the Commies have hijacked. So to that end… USA babes after dark!

The one thing I truly like about Trump is that he seems to be the only President in my lifetime that really loves the country.
Not loves it because they elected him president, but just loves the people and the idea of the US.
Maybe Reagan, but I am unsure about him. But all the others always seem to like the US mostly because it gave them a bunch of power.
From my distanced observation, I would say that Trump actually liked people.
The McDonalds event showed that.
I’ve heard that he’s good to his low tier workers (janitors and such).
My buddy has met him many times and says that he is the anti-politician. Asshole in public and nice in private. Usually pols are the exact opposite.
The other anecdote I have about Trump is that he ran into some guys I knew late night on the roof of the Trump Tower in Chicago. The guys all gushed about how affable Trump was. Trump made fun of them because they were a sausage party and real guys should be able to find young ladies in Chicago.
Agree Jimbo. I don’t think you can fake the love of America Trump displays- not the way he does it.
My whole life the Dems have been saying how much America sucks, like fundamentally is bad. Glad we are getting away from such ideas.
Yeah, it used to be you had to read between the lines to see how much every Dem hates this country. Obama made it acceptable to say it out loud now.

@Suthen, but even stuff no one would have a real interest in, like random stocks… almost always 100% opposite. He must be shorting things or something, it is weird how often he’s wrong.
I have a relative like that. She has never been right once, not once in her life. Broken clocks got nuthin’ on her. It is a wonder to behold.
I have suspected before that she does it on purpose. Her motive? I have no idea and she probably doesnt either.
It might be worse than any Democrat could have imagined!
They will refuse to do it. They will also start making hysterical arguments in favor of the EC.
Democracy is only good when people vote correctly.
I find it hilarious that CNN and MSNBC can’t make themselves admit that Don won. They are sticking with their 266 electoral votes and waiting for a miracle.

It is the only way to save Our Democracy.
How many votes did chase oliver? Is he in the running?
He probably voted Kammy. Speaking of which, has anyone kept up with TOS? What is their take on all of this?
“If Trump Wins, It’s Because Neither Party Had the Guts To Stop Him
Donald Trump left the White House in January 2021 as a defeated, disgraced figure. He now seems likely to return to the presidency.”
“Libertarian Party Underperforms in Presidential Election
The 2016 and 2020 elections were the best in the party’s history, but 2024 looks likely to fall far short.”
‘under performs’. I saw that. That is one way to put it.
Somehow our country seems to stumble-bumble in the right direction. It’s a bit of a nail-biter, like watching Buster Keaton walk a high wire.
Wife is happy and should be cheerful all day.
I wandered over there. What the fuck was I thinking?
It is sad isn’t it? Like seeing an old buddy who got hooked on meth or booze and is now stumbling around.
That is a pretty good metaphor, but like that buddy it was there all along. The TDS is what finally got them out of the closet. From there open disdain for the commentariat was a short hop.
I do see that the comments on that particular article looks like our bunch wrote it. They got rid of us but now they have the same sort there. It is fitting.
I had a friend that worked as a congressional staffer and also someone here mentioned this once – the DC elected officials, their staff and interns etc despise the citizenry beyond words and behind closed doors express that very openly with each other.
What Strzok and Paige got caught saying about smelly Walmart people is just the tip of the iceberg and generally the opinion of the entire DC crowd.
Rent control lost by nearly *20 points* in CA. This election has been an utter and complete repudiation of the leftist theory of politics.

lets not get ahead of ourselves
NY just enshrined racism, free abortions, and men beating up women in its constitution.
One weird thing from Florida – Abortion is more popular than weed(though there were some ‘big corporation’ fears about it), and both got more than 50%, but seemed to have lost (Need 60% to amend the constitution).
I am really happy about JD Vance as VP. I just about finished Hillbilly Elegy and it isn’t that it is a great book, but it has some commonsense wisdom embedded in it, and you can see he is just a normal guy at heart. We need more of that in government, and less of weirdoes like Ballz and Harris.
Oh, and Harris was way less popular than any other leftwing thing in the state. Trump is more popular in Florida than Harris is in NY.
It may also be an error to think this is the same as the States being more or less rightwing than in the past, as she was just an absolutely terrible candidate, and Trump is very unique.
Trump increased his support everywhere, even NY – but abortion is why NY passed that disgraceful Prop 1 garbage.
Trump is a mixed bag (fiscally, especially). But he is better than the alternative. Glad, but still having mixed feelings about his win.
Trump’s comments about his coalition is very interesting, I assume there will be a lot of analysis of the demographics behind his win soon.
Go to about 18:30 in:

Obviously he’s excited, but it is good to see a President with some life to him, despite his age. He’s a good orator as well, better than he was in 2016.
Sorry, more like 20:30.
Addressing Lack’s observation above: The Democrat party and it’s platform seem rife with oikophobia.
My take: 1. People who grow up in dysfunctional family or social environments project that dysfunction onto the entire culture. The most notable symptom of this are people that adopt other cultures, religions or date outside of their own culture.
2. People who hate American founding culture and ideals because they do not readily lend themselves to being ruled. The most notable symptom of this are people who run for public office.
The Democratic Party is a poison soup of those two ingredients.
“People who hate American founding culture and ideals because they do not readily lend themselves to being ruled.”
I did not articulate that very well. What I mean to say is ‘people who want to rule and despise a culture because it does not lend itself to subjugation’.
On my drive home yesterday day I was thinking how grateful I am for this aspect of American society.
Speeding is one of the greatest examples of widespread civil disobedience ever. Everyone feels safe going 5 over because ‘everyone does it’ and nothing happens.
Obama’s sneering denigration of individualist culture is seared into my brain. What an idiot that fuckstick Twink is. Despite Joe’s dismal worst presidency in history and personal creepiness there is something about Obama that I hate even more. Smarminess? I think that is it.
Oikophpbia.
Great word, and needs to be levelled against the dems more.
“date outside of their own culture.”
Careful there. /married an immigrant
But you’re not wrong. Part of why I did what I did because I was actively avoiding American-born women (to be fair, you have to remember I was living in a very blue part of NY). Quite literally I was suffering from Oikophobia, which led me to a wonderful woman who has helped turn my life around in every way.
I have dated outside my culture as well. I was not a full blown oikophobe but I did mistakenly decide that all of the women here had a rattlesnake inside them. Turns out that isn’t true, I did find Mrs. Suthenboy, but I also discovered that that snake business is not associated with just our culture nor just to women. It seems to be an individual character thing. Who knew?
Highly surprising to see Trump this likely to win. It would be delicious if he also wins the popular vote. I expect at least one more assassination attempt on him before January.
‘Highly surprising to see Trump this likely to win. It would be delicious if he also wins the popular vote. ‘
Agreed.
‘I expect at least one more assassination attempt on him before January.’
Absolutely likely. They better lock up Trump’s security better than Fort Knox. The only good thing is then you get JD, who at least is a normal human being. I don’t agree with all his policy choices, but damn.
Wife is listening to a spittle flecked fever rant about how it’s not too late there is still hope etc on CNN.
It hasn’t sunk in yet.
What are the stages of grief again? First is denial, right?
Jan 6th is going to look like a walk in the park next to this year’s convening of the EC.
So, my NH Glibs and FreeStaters… what the hell is up with NH?
I remember when it was a slight, but reliable lean to the right, and now it seems to be solidly ‘blue’ in every presidential election, and don’t tell me it is just people crossing over from Mass. to vote illegally.
The fact that Lily Tang Williams lost to the carpetbagger Mrs. Jake Sullivan makes me wonder what the fuck is going on there too.
The influx of unwashed Masses moving to NH over the years have flipped the state.
They’re voting legally just like the idgits who move from CA to TX vote legally.
Split ticket voting is very common here. Trump was never that popular here, and became less popular after his first term. Republican Federal candidates in NH have been consistently poor over the last ten or so years.
The state is not a Democrat state. Republicans control the state government:
– Governor
– 4-1 majority on the Executive Council
– State Senate was 14-10 Republican. Eyeballing the numbers on WMUR’s website it looks like it will be either 15-9 or 16-8 Republican majority
– State House was majority Republican. I haven’t gone over the numbers as there are 400 seats up for election, but I expect Republicans will stay in the majority.
If you think NH is Democrat, you need to explain why the state government is firmly in Republican control.
I saw some numbers from my town, which is a Republican town. Kamala Harris won in my town by a few hundred votes. Kelly Ayotte (Republican) won by about 1500 votes. State House delegation stays majority Republican, and the state senate district my town is a part of flipped from Democrat to Republican.
I don’t have time to write much more as I need to get to the gym and get to work, but I’ll add this for Pope Jimbo in case he’s still around: It was obvious to politically aware locals that Lily Tang Williams was going to lose. The district leans Dem. Goodlander has powerful local connections. She’s a Tamposi (big real estate developers in NH who were also prominent Republicans). Sununu hates actual libertarians (he’ll take awards from fake libertarians like CATO though) and so was never going to help Williams. Williams had no money for ads. Williams had only one good public appearance which was her last debate performance.

He’s right, without X itself along with the pressure it created on other platforms to loosen up the speech rules it would have been a much harder, maybe impossible, road. Elon stuck his head out to the tune of 44 billion dollars and it paid off for him.
Morning, Glibs.
A good morning to you.
Hope things go well.
I gotta commute, catch up when I reach the office.
So when do the death camps open?
Good morning, all. Hope the black-pilled above will be ok.
Good morning? Anything interesting happen last night?
Massie won reelection.
it was a tight race but he managed to pull through
Good morning, EvilS…and far too many more of you to list individually!
Guys, I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamed they actually determined the winner of the presidential election in ONE NIGHT, and it was Trump!
::clicks website for local powerhouse TV news station::
Guys, I’m having the weirdest dream…
It’s the early part of the dream. It will turn into a nightmare when D districts find trailers full of uncounted ballot boxes.
Look, GT, I warned you those mushrooms were not for regular consumption.
But they made such a tasty Stroganoff!
Snort…

Will the Dems engage in a bit of self-reflection I wonder?
*clicks link*
Ah, nope.
LOL
The clips coming from The View later are probably going to be fantastic.

…is it safe?
no
When do all the celebrities emigrate?
Jesus, they’re going to come up here, aren’t they?
Who’s the designated Morning Joe watcher this morning? Should be epic…
I am watching…. besides a little snark, they are upset polling got it wrong, and America is an evil country. Dem senator was awesome.
Democratic Underground is shell shocked.
Do they normally restrict site access when things go off the rails?
They should book the Obamas before anyone else so they can scold us about how disappointed they are.
Snark aside — something to watch for the next 4 years is if Obama continues his “Administration in Exile” behavior in DC. I suspect he will, abetted by lots of IC “leaks” and targeted lawfare. Assuming the more-black-pilled-than-I above are wrong and OMB makes it to inauguration.
They do.
I pain $1 to watch
I want a link to The Young Turks election coverage.
Cenk was a flopsweating, babbling mess…
Morning, all — glad to see it doesn’t look like we’ll be suffering through weeks of found ballots and margin of fraud.
On the “too local” front — CA continues to never see a bond measure it doesn’t like. At least they saw through the “allow more rent control” one. Just gets me that these are probably the same folks who complain that housing prices are too high…. gee — can’t imagine why! (I’m a little extra sore on this having just gotten this year’s property tax bill… I’d complain about the amount, but y’all in NJ or whatnot would laugh uproariously at me, I know…)
The utterly stupid thing about property in CA was mine was half what it should’ve been when I sold, and for the current owner half of what it should be now. It sorta catches up for those on the move, while those that sit tight just laugh their asses off.

~3.5 hours sleep might be enough to get through the day. If I were thinking, I’d have gotten more than my usual amount of caffiene. But, I was only really alert once I was on my way to the office. And that highway doesn’t lend itself to picking up more caffiene.
My Adderall hookup got a better job and moved out of town. It’s going to be a long day but totally worth it.
well the free office coffee is not usually great but it has caffeine
There is no free anything in the office, least of all caffiene. We’re IT drones, not legislators.
a french gov worker would be disgusted at your American silliness
That’s okay, it’s not like I respect their opinion.
So with Trump in the White House and the Senate being in GOP control, will we start hearing requests for Clarence Thomas to retire?
It might not take calls to do it. The dude’s old and smart enough to know the score.

Huff post headline
America Puts Coup-Attempting Convicted Criminal Back Into The White House
If they think that is true, what does it say about how much people hated their ideology in order to do that
Self-reflection has never been their strong suit.
Self reflection is difficult. Me included.
No self-reflection shaming Pie you bastards!
It looks like some 20 million voters just disappeared since 2020.
The popular vote is currently at Trump 71 million, Harris 66 million.
Somehow, despite population growth, Harris got 15 million fewer votes than Biden did in 2020.
Is that due to a depressed democrat base that just didn’t turn out?
Or…
Is there a clue in the fact that counting did not stop in the major cities in all 5 swing states?
Did the increased vigilance of the Republican legal team have an effect?
It will be interesting to see final turnout numbers by state.
I have always said there was no way Gropey Joe got 80 Million votes. I strongly suspect his turnout was similar to what Harris got, only people were not as vigilant about interrupting ballot box stuffing.
It sure makes one suspect that, looking at the difference.
No 200k instant swings after mysterious counting stoppages.
This is the correct take. Cheating was off the chain for Biden. Maybe not 20M worth , but 10M is within reason. And lots of people were just completely turned off by both candidates and did not vote.
I was wondering about that too.
None of the obvious conclusions make any sense. I don’t think there are that many antifa, nor that the fortification efforts from 2020 found that many votes.
Crazy.
I’d say some of both. Trump in office really motivated his opposition, so the Dem turnout was realistically stronger in ’20. Also, the games played in ’20 couldn’t be replayed this year since the Repubs were wise to them.
Whatever it is, it’s going to be a yuuuge story.
Or completely ignored…..
Good morning!
Someone needs to abolish the ATF before there’s another tear-jerking shooting that makes OMB ban something.
Morning Joe has a string of Dem politicians and activists explaining why trump voters are so stupid.
They don’t trust politicians, and they hear Trump talking bluntly and they mistake that for honest. They forget that he broke all of his promises last time.
They all seemed to agree that Trump voters are just flat stupid and don’t get that Trump lies all the time because he talks so bluntly.
Kinda nutty cope going on.
For hardcore political people – it actually makes sense. Of course we lie to you! But we do it nicely and you are supposed to LIKE that!
New betting pool – who is more disappointed by the coming Trump presidency: his supporters or his deranged opponents?
Oh no doubt he is going to disappoint. Just she was much more likely to get us into WWIII.
I’m sure the MIC/DS will not slacken in their efforts to keep that machine rolling.
I cannot see a path for this to happen, but my unreasonable expectation is for the FBI and CIA to get cleaned out, to have accountability for the internal spying and psyops that happened, and to stop it from ever happening again.
My expectation is that the establishment will fight back hard and tie him in knots.
Especially if the Dems flip the House.
Normally I would welcome that split but I’m over the stupid fraudulent impeachments. OTOH it could help tie the left in knots and give the Nazis time to focus on cleaning house. LOL
Embrace the power of “and”.
We have a federation of states. One of the reasons for this is to have states act as laboratories of democratic experimentation, where other states can learn from their successes and failures.
Well, it has been several elections since DeSantis got rid of corrupt/incompetent election supervisors. Florida is able to count their votes quickly, getting to 90% in less than a half hour, and to 100% shortly after.
Meanwhile, all of the “swing states” were hours and hours counting. Arizona is still only 60% done.
It is time for the people to stand up to this… incompetence … and demand that they model Florida’s system.
Better if we shorten early voting to maybe a week, and rein in vote by mail at the same time.
Continuing to allow this farce is a “danger to democracy”, to borrow a phrase.
AND DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS! WE GET ICKY RESULTS!!! MORE POWER TO END ICKY RESULTS!!!!!!!!!! /progs until they win
This. 100%
Im sure team stupid is going to get complacent on this issue because they got their “red wave”, but they need to push through election reforms in every state they control. This nonsense will rear its ugly head again in 2026 if they ignore it.
This, except eliminate “early voting”. There is no reason for it whatsoever.
I used to be a regional supervisor and traveled a fair amount, usually with little notice. I’ve missed election days because I had to be out of town unexpectedly.
I’m all for running the election over a few days if, in exchange, we can get rid of mail-in voting minus a few well defined exceptions.
Damn – Casey losing in PA. Today is a good day.
Just clicking around the electoral map… California has only counted 54% of the vote.
There has been rumor and conjecture that California elections are corrupt and rigged for decades.
Only half the vote counted by the next day?
And nobody even questions it?
And yet all of the California election results were “called” the moment the polls closed, with 0% reporting.
Why doesn’t this raise an eyebrow?
I feel bad for Creech’s eGOP friend who constantly says the internal polling reveals Trump needs to be less icky.
^^ 🤣
Is it wrong of me to hope that (D) take the house and begin impeachment immediately?
Also, odds that OMB gets sentenced to prison by one of the state Judges?
