Oh, it's a possibility.  If she is just running the table and looks like she is going to get 350+, he (in theory, mind you) could concede in hopes of maybe getting a pardon from a President Harris down the road.

That's the only scenario that I could see him doing that.

 

Pardon Trump? Are y'all mental?

And now for Goblin News:

I strolled by my Gold Guy, asked him how the election could affect the election. His main beef was if it got tied up forever. But basically, if Trump wins, gold will go down. If Kamala wins, there'll be a line of customers out the door the next day and gold will go up. Gold Guy makes his cut either way so don't worry about him.

What a weird thing to ask. Although given Trump's attempts to thwart democracy before, I guess it is a legitimate question.

If we never posted another MTG tweet in this thread again, I wouldn't be upset about it. 

Even if she gets syphilis from her trainer, chooses to treat it with a cold compress instead of antibiotics, and then dies the drippiest, cuntiest death ever?  Is that OK?

The first part of your scenario involves her having sex, which is not something I'm equipped to think about without wanting to vomit. 

So no.

No, no, she would get it from a tractor seat, not sex.

I'll make an exception for this very specific (and highly likely) scenario. 

Otherwise, let's spare each other.

I suspect this is why it was denied:

They also said Krasner’s bid to shut it down under Pennsylvania law was moot because there would be no more Pennsylvania winners before the program ends Tuesday.

That's a good mootness argument.  If the claim was based solely on Pa. law and actions occurring in Pa., and no further actions will occur, then there is no dispute going forward to resolve.  And that deprives the court of jurisdiction to act (courts only resolve actual disputes - and for injunctions, that dispute MUST be about a future harm).

It's a scam.  And anyone who signed the petition may have an independent claim against Musk for fraud or something similar.

Musk is a piece of dick.

Cool. So I'm sure she won't be screaming stolen election this time if Trump loses again. Glad we got that out of the way.

It’s not the humble brag it sounds like. My boss is paying his limo service to drive me to and from cancer treatment in Houston. Stage 4 glioblastoma kinda sucks. 
 

id normally be with you on the wishing Ill on him and his family, but he’s a super nice guy and seems a bit gullible and low information. 

Ouch.  That's sad to hear.

MAGA Twitter is turning on Atlas Intel already.  Doing damage control 20 min before they drop. 

I wonder if they drop some more "realistic" polls to save face - like tied/Harris +1 in the blue wall and tied/Trump +1 in the Sun Belt.

CNN is on site as a ballot counting location in Maricopa.

That place looks like a supermax prison in terms of security.

What would even be the point of a pardon? He'd just immediately break any deal they agreed to.

They should offer him asylum instead, since he doesn't seem to understand what that is.

ABC Nightly News uses Nate Silver 538 as their go to for polls. I hate the news.

I didn't think Nate Silver was associated with 538 any longer?

He's not.  He's also still the best aggregator/modeler.

It makes me sick thinking of the possibility of 4 more years of orange man and his pathetic, lying and corrupt family being back in power.

Texas Dems were a unique blend of non-bleeding heart liberalism and non-punative conservatism.

When this place was different there was, I believe from my suburban white boy perspective, a sense that you should be handling your own business and leaving me alone. But, if someone was in real bind, hands would be happily extended. Well, between white people for the most part, I suppose.

We're just a couple of decades from completely transitioning to Anywhere USA NAZI Germany. 

THIS. It's kind of a hard feeling to articulate but this is something I've noticed, and multiple friends have remarked to me independently.

Texas has always been culturally conservative, undeniably so, but the Texas I grew up in was a live and let live place. Even as the religious far right really took hold of the GOP in the Bush years, and the GOP took full control of the state under Obama and started going full Loony Toons... SCOTUS generally kept things in check. There was a tolerable baseline.

Now? The guardrails are gone, the rage and hatred are palpable, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel, because even if Harris or Allred by some miracle win this cycle, the GOP still has an iron grip on the state government and it's likely to be at least a decade before SCOTUS is anything but a Christofascist rubber stamp.

Possible genius or maybe random kid who had an incredible hot streak during one election cycle Chaz Nuttycombe (his real name!) predicts 69% chance of Harris win, with 308EVs



 

Really letting his Nuttycombes hang with a GA 8/10 Democratic win prob.

Hits near to home. About 20 years ago after a happy hour work function in a chilis or a peer restaurant in the north Dallas area around northwest highway, my African-American friend took me to a lovely little place down the road called Dallas gentlemen’s club where to out surprise Alan iverson and crew were a couple tables away with many bottles of Dom and the attention of most of the talent.  It was reported the next morning that he missed shoot around due to illness, but managed to play in the game that night. 

We talkin’ about shoot around? Shoot around?!?

Yep. Reading through it, as soon as it was mentioned that there would be no more Pennsylvania “winners,” I knew that jurisdiction was off the table. 
 

I suppose there might be a big enough pool for a class action, maybe (wasn’t my specialty in law school). However, I think anyone brave enough to bring individual fraud claims will simply be steamrolled by Musk’s endless supply of money and law goblins.

And he’s had Trump winning this thing the whole way. But don’t let the Chili’s delusion mob know that.
