“If homeland security really put hidden watermarks on all official ballots shit will get real if there is any funny business.” - Conspiracy theorist on social media

Don’t the states have control over their own ballots? Wouldn’t Homeland Security have come out already to say they did this? These people need a gold fucking medal for the mental gymnastics it takes to be part of their cult.

I predict that after Trump finally accepts his defeat (maybe not until the EC votes in December?) he will stop even pretending to govern. He will destroy anything he can on his way out, then run away to Florida, refuse to do anything but rage tweet and golf, and stay there until after the inauguration.

I was thinking more along the lines of the potential for him to end up in legal troubles.  She's not the type to stand by her man if he goes down. 

This maybe I could see. But she is no better than him, she married him.

They're going to want to stay married so they can't be called upon to testify against each other - I would bet a million Stanley nickels that's in their prenup.  So I doubt they'll divorce, but I bet they live apart for however long it takes for her to officially become a widow.

Whatever keeps them both miserable is my only wish for them.

Oh trust me, I agree. 

I'm mostly just making idle speculation here to try to pass the time.

If the GOP wants the feds to start interfering with states’ abilities to control their own elections, I think we respond by using that precedent to strike down some of the most oppressive GOP-enacted voter suppression tactics, like voter ID laws.

I’m so so bad with numbers! Between kings and popes, man. I usually have a post it on my podium with the numbers on them that I’ll be talking about that day, or I’ll say- hey (reliable student, google that for me— oh wow! Yeah I thought so when I haven’t even said a number).

I KNOW! On top of that, I want to tell European royal families to stay in their lane. No, France and England, you can't BOTH have Henrys with completely different numbers. And stay away from Charles, you Holy Roman Emperors, there's enough of those in England already. Fine, France, you can keep all the Louises. 

We really are a dynamic duo

As my dad's old friend used to quip before he passed, "White people have a real shortage of names." (He and my dad were Indian, born during colonialism.)

When President Obama was in the WH I didn't closely follow the day to day because I knew we were in good hands.

I really* miss that sense of peace and look forward to getting it back.

That makes so much more sense than what I said. I'm on about 6 hours of sleep this week and pain meds. My brain is mush. Thank you.

Art history emergency ...Calling @profartnerd !

(I think it’s Delacroix, Liberty Leading the People - so, not our revolution, one of France’s).

Correct, but just to be completely clear, Gritty is not in the original painting. 

I laughed way too hard at this!

I feel this so deep in my bones. I've always followed politics in the most general sense but I can't wait to have to google to find out who the Postmaster General is, if I even care. I'm really looking forward to not worrying about the minutia anymore.

Right!? Imagine- there may be a day that goes by during which you don’t think about the president at all.

This seems like as good a place as any to update on our skeleton race.

Original set up:


Wind (AKA 2020) took out one of the finish line skeleton, but the red candidate has bit the dust.

God, I can’t wait for Biden to disappoint us in the way that a normal president does. lol

Oh dear, I have resisted my crazy aunt’s millions of bizarre FB posts per day for long enough. Today she kept sharing videos of canvassers processing mail ballots saying they were changing ballots so boldly on camera. And posting about “how R poll watchers weren’t allowed to observe” the canvassing in Phila (which we know is false). I politely but assertively replied and then she started spamming me with “evidence” shared from random Q people and The Sun (a tabloid magazine?). I’m proud of my restraint. I told her to call me if she wants to continue this discussion with real credible sources. But my mom is gonna be mad at me for engaging the crazy 😂

I keep on thinking of Arrested Development and how George Bluth said a husband and wife can't be charged with the same crime.

I was honestly just wondering how long this thread will be by the time it’s called.

My H and I have been saying for weeks that he'll just peace out to Mar a lago for the last 2 months. Hopefully he does that and doesn't give enough of a shit to do any more damage.

Seriously though when is the next ballot release?

I'm going to lose my mind.

Nevada said they’d update again by 4pm. I think that’s pacific time.

For other map lovers, this one is fascinating. Shows the swing in votes from 2016 to 2020, as well as voter increase and more. Really cool, yet still depressing how much some areas got really red.
