  1. Lamb is the PA 17th district, where I live. It’s half of Allegheny County without downtown Pittsburgh and the whole next county over. He has a county that Biden won by 20 and a county that Trump won by 18. Registered Democrats outnumber registered republicans 2 to 1 in BOTH counties. His district shifted 3 points blue in the presidential race while shifting 5 points red in the house race. He was the incumbent and his opponent basically just ran on Trumpism. Fighting the radical left, reopening the economy, supporting the police, supporting fracking, etc. He’s 36. He won 2 house elections in 2018 in two different districts. The special election for PA 18 and then after the district lines were redrawn he won his current district. He’s probably going to run for Pat Toomey’s senate seat in 2022. He knows that while the AOCs of the party want to drag the nation forward-left as fast as possible kicking and screaming, there are a massive amount of people that are open to heading in that direction at a slower pace and without embracing things like defund the police and “socialism”. The vast majority of those people would completely get behind issues like police reform and progressive ideas, but not when the banner carriers are calling them defund the police and socialism. It seems to me that Lamb understands a democratic part of the country that AOC either thinks she doesn’t need, or will see things her way eventually no matter what. AOC wants what’s best for the whole country, but she can’t do it without a majority of the country. Her ideas are good, and her passion is well placed, but she has to see that she needs the middle to come with her. And right or wrong, how her ideas are branded will make a massive difference in how much she’s able to accomplish.
  2. Is this actually the point of all the frivolous lawsuits? Just to get one last round of grift out of the rubes. Drag the fight out as long as possible for the magas to reach into their wallets for the last of their change so dear leader has a fighting chance against the evil that is going to destroy this country.
  3. I don’t get how they expect to sell that massive voter fraud in Philly swung the election. Trump did better in philly than he did in 2016 and Biden did worse than Hillary there. Philly county shifted 3 points TO Trump. The suburbs around philly and Pittsburgh shifted away from Trump. Blue collar Erie flipped back to Biden. Upper middle class Bucks county flipped back to Biden. In a lot of the really Trumpy counties in the middle of the state, counties that trump won by 30 points, counties that are controlled by GOP officials shifted 2-5 points to Biden.
  4. Just got the notice that my phone usage was up 59% last week. Almost entirely in this thread.
  5. These fucking asshats on Fox are really hanging their hats on these late arriving ballots in PA completely invalidating the election. Their whole premise is “we don’t know how many there are and if they counted them or not.” It’s not “they counted these these ballots” it’s “we don’t know what happened so the whole thing is fraudulent.” I wouldn’t be shocked at this point if some of the GOP counties “accidentally” released these ballots into the pool to try to invalidate the mail in ballots. But we know that in most, if not all, counties the ballots were separated and shrink wrapped to avoid any mistakes.
  6. I have 1.3 bottles left and it’s going to be hard to open that last bottle after having what felt like an endless supply.
  7. I'd like to hear more about this mythical land where Blanton's is "reasonably available" Up until about 2 years ago I could walk into my local liquor store and grab a bottle off the shelf at any time. After that it started getting more and more rare. By a year ago it was hard to get. For Xmas my wife happened to somehow luck onto the PA liquor website and they had a bunch for sale with a 3 bottle limit. She got me 3 for Xmas. You had to have it shipped to a liquor store. A week after she got those bottles she got a call from the liquor store that her 3 bottles had arrived. So for Xmas last year I got 6 bottles of blantons. thats reasonably available.
  8. Makes sense. I can’t imagine why any republican that doesn’t need to be elected by, or is directly profiting off of the Trumper base wouldn’t hate how he grabbed the GOP by the pussy.
  9. Seriously, the first person on Fox News to talk about the speech was Karl Rove and he had nothing but good things to say about it. Said it was perfectly Biden and exactly what both sides of the nation needed to hear.
  10. If I’m still alive in 50 years that will still be my favorite image of Trump’s presidency. A man so incapable of admitting that he has ever been wrong about anything in his life that, instead of admitting that he misspoke based on outdated information, he drew in his favorite fucking sharpie on a map that he expected ANYONE to believe that he was actually right all along. Holy fuck, what a clown.
  11. That speech was so fucking good that even Karl Rove said it was a great speech.
  12. This is probably better suited for the bourbon thread but I don’t think I’ve ever jumped from a glass of blantons straight into a glass of stagg. Blanton'sis my go to bourbon, my favorite reasonably available bourbon. Going from that right into the stagg really smacks you in the face with how huge the stagg really is.
  13. Well I can’t think of a better time to kill the last of this stagg than for Joe. Well done everyone. Even though you guys kinda dropped the ball in Texas.
  14. God damn everyone breaking out the good stuff for Joe.
  15. That’s a fucking top shelf indeed. Birthday bourbon and weller are both on my list if unicorns.
  16. Damn you for having the blantons, Elmer t lee, and rock hill farms all lined up like that. But I can cheers to that.
  17. Starting the day with some fire. Cheers patriots. You’re fired, motherfucker.
  18. Allegheny county just dropped. 4K more. Lead up to 34k
  19. Fox won’t call it yet. They have to be waiting until after his presser.
