    the 90 minute victory lap was just glorious.

    this really is unfolding in an entertaining way.

    It really is. It's all the Trump lawyers coming out of the clown car to randomly sue ... whatever. Just pure entertainment, at this point.

    You can see why Trump's Nielsen ratings were so high.

    Edit:  This fucking cunt really grinds my gears.   And, as I've posted before, I am quite friendly with her family, and they are Trumpkins, but absolutely terrific people. Mofos heard that I had COVID, and sent me a lovely care package, including a very nice bottle of wine.   I dread the day that I meet her, because it's gonna be really tough to remain polite. 

    i'd hate-fuck her

    The fucking moron was arguing against a motion to dismiss in federal court...and he had NO IDEA what the standard of review was. That’s the stone cold opposite of “brilliant.” It’s the textbook definition of “unprepared and incompetent.”

    I don't know what that is, either.

    On the other hand... I'm not a lawyer and not pretending to be a lawyer.

    My point is depending on the situation, “simply asking” for something can absolutely be a crime.  Ammo and zip ties was me being a dick, but you saying it can’t be a crime because all he was doing was making a request is not true. 

    "Simply asking" can be a crime for some things. It's not a crime to ask what Lindsey Graham actually asked him to do (do you even know what Lindsey Graham actually asked him to do?), as much as you or I might want it to be.

    You don’t know this and honestly neither do I.

    Well, you're half right.

    The point is there are enough red flags here to trigger an investigation and maybe move forward with a prosecution if warranted by the investigation. 

    No. There isn't. There aren't even yellow flags. Just one extremely tired Georgia GOP official getting badgered by a bunch of terrified losers. Go read the original sources on this and not someone's fan fiction blog account of what they think might have happened.

    My God; some of y'all are as bad about separating fiction from reality as the "B1DEN STOLZ AR VICTORY" dipshits.

    I think you are being a little obtuse, the “simply asking” is the attempt. He doesn’t need to buy ammo and zip ties for this specific crime. He’s a Senator of a different state using his position of power to put pressure on someone to illegally influence the election. 

    This should be a big deal and you brushing it off because Georgia Sec of State happened to not go for it is my point. This stuff shouldn’t be normalized but now it is.  

    Oh good Lord, the irony in your first sentence. This isn't even remotely equivalent to "ammo and zip ties." And I'm not saying you should brush it off.

    What I'm saying is stop with the breathless hyperventilating exaggerations of what actually occurred.

    Look, here is what was actually reported in the Washington Post:

    Quote

    In their conversation, Graham questioned Raffensperger about the state's signature-matching law and whether political bias could have prompted poll workers to accept ballots with nonmatching signatures, according to Raffensperger. Graham also asked whether Raffensperger had the power to toss all mail ballots in counties found to have higher rates of nonmatching signatures, Raffensperger said.

    Raffensperger said he was stunned that Graham appeared to suggest that he find a way to toss legally cast ballots. Absent court intervention, Raffensperger doesn't have the power to do what Graham suggested because counties administer elections in Georgia.

    Lindsey Graham was asking for ways to find ballots that could have been in some way determined to be illegal and thus able to be thrown out. Now, there's no question about what he was attempting to ask, and Raffensperger's frustration -- with his own party -- is understandable.

    But no crime was committed here. You couldn't even get Graham indicted with this, much less convicted. Not if -- as we would hope -- the justice system is working the way it's supposed to.

    Y'all need to chill the fuck out. We got this.

    USA! USA! We did it!

    Governor Whitmer also wasn’t kidnapped and murdered so are we all good there too? Whether an elected official was successful in his attempted illegal election interference has fuck all to do with whether we should be concerned with the complete normalization of that interference. 

    OK, so, there is one minor but very significant difference here.

    In the Governor Whitmer case, there was an attempt. In this case, he simply asked, and was told, "No." Nobody tried to throw out votes.

    Edit: Don't get me wrong; I wouldn't exactly be all teary-eyed if Lindsey suddenly up and decided to leave his Senate seat to join the circus as a clown (and would anyone notice a difference?), but it's like if SydneyCarton were to ask me if he could suck my dick and I said, "No thank you." Since no dick-sucking was attempted, you couldn't really call him a cocksucker.

    That's a Republican Sec of State accusing a sitting US Senior in his own party of pressuring him into throwing out legal votes. Aside from it being a crime, he is describing a cut and dry attack on democracy. And absolutely nothing will come of it. There will be no investigation, Lindsey won't lose his seat, he won't be removed from any of his cushy committee positions. The story will be forgotten by inauguration. 

    Brisket is 100% correct. We are the frog and the water has been brought to a boil and now it's too late. 

    You're forgetting the other half of "nothing will come of it:"

    The votes weren't thrown out.

    To be replaced by what? A new party with a new name where all the former Republican ideologues can find a home? The party name is just a label. I'd like to see them go through some ideological reform and get back to being the party of Lincoln. 

    If anything like this happens, I think the most likely outcome is that the remaining sane R's join the Democratic Party, and we'll see AOC lead an exodus either into a new left-wing party or a merger with e.g. the Green party.

    That said, I don't see from this past election the trend away from the GOP that would indicate that. Trump is obviously a dead end, but in Congressional/Senate elections, the GOP is still very healthy.

    What is a MAGAT? What is a BIPOC?

    Has this place become IBM and we are going to acronym ourselves to death?

    See, we started out with TLAs (Three Letter Abbreviations), but quickly found that we'd exhausted them. So then we moved to XTLAs, (eXtended Three Letter Abbreviations). But after a while, even those weren't enough, so we moved to LXLTAs (Long eXtended Three Letter Abbreviations). I hear Connie in the mobile group has even started using the occasional VLXTLA (Very Long eXtended Three Letter Abbreviation), so there's room for growth, there. You can find the whole list in the database, that we had to move to BigQuery last week after we exceeded the maximum table size on the old database.

    Well we have the money...fuck if the Gamecocks can blow $15 million or so to kick Muschamp to the curb we can definitely afford to jettison Herman. I worry bc we know there will be other HCs let go COVID may have sped stuff up honestly. Teams lost a ton of money and if they have a losing HC they can’t afford to lose more. But optics? My nightmare scenario is going to the Big 12 and losing big and possibly losing out on a chance for a good/great coaching hire because we dicked around. That’s if Urban doesn’t pan out. 

    I mean... we're fifth in the Large Dozen right now. #5. Behind ISU, OSU, KSU and OU.
