The Democratic Party is off in the weeds. They are making excuses for lunatics, and it would be better off if they weren’t.
The Republicans took the House, Senate and presidency, but only because Democrats made it happen. Not the Democratic Party, they are off in the weeds, but people who were Democrats not too long ago. Trump wasn’t a Republican when he was a TV personality and real estate developer in NYC. He was the first president to take office in favor of gay marriage.
Establishment Republicans don’t have to learn a lesson from this because Trump has pushed most of them out of office.
When Donald Trump won the presidential election in 2016, there were many Twitter posts from celebrities and influencers describing poignant reactions from their young children. The posts were too on-the-nose, and people called bullshit. This time, it’s “Just So” stories purported to have been written by high school girls or teachers.
Being a heterodox free-thinker, students would occasionally ask if I believed in conspiracy theories. A group of people colluding on a secret plan to do something sneaky? Sure, conspiracies happen all the time. Of course they meant “conspiracy theories”, like faking the Moon landing or something along that line.
You shouldn’t read any further because I intend to discuss a conspiracy theory.
I’m not an alcoholic or participant in any 12-step programs, but the Serenity Prayer seems like a broadly useful sentiment.
US News: Biden to serve one term.
Top Democrats are trying to figure out what went wrong in the 2024 presidential election. It’s like watching a junkie explain that their problem is anything but the drugs.
It’s nice to see a presidential election that is wrapped up before the bars close. The 2000 Bush-Gore election, with the hanging chads, was so tedious. Just like the Olympics, it makes a difference where you watch. I like Real Clear Politics because they provide all the current information in a clear manner. Watching a news channel on Youtube or cable or broadcast, is so tedious. I’d rather watch a Jerry Lewis Telethon.
The rest of the time, Real Clear Politics aggregates polls from everywhere else and posts articles from a wide spectrum of sources.
This morning, I’m wondering what’s up with the states that can’t close the books on the election?
Prior to the election, here are the states that RCP considered to be battleground states.
Almost half of these battleground states haven’t been called at 7 am. No other states are still up for grabs. That is strange enough to warrant some attention. Here are the
Michigan has 97% of the ballots in, and a 1.9% spread. What’s the hold up?
Arizona has a 5.7% spread, with 63% of the ballots in. That is one of the lowest percentage of votes counted, of all 50 states.
Nevada has a 5.5% spread, with 89% of the ballots in. Surely they could count enough of the votes to call this one.
Vote for whomever you’d like, but admit that this is funny shit.
It doesn’t matter if Biden meant that Trump was garbage, or Trump’s ideas, campaign staff or supporters. The words of a feeble dotard don’t carry much weight.
Survey to identify your ideology.
Vote for whomever you’d like, it’s none of my business. So close to the presidential election, it gets stupid. This year is stupider than usual. Trump gave a big speech at Madison Square Garden, just like the Nazis. Harris gave a big speech at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., just like the KKK. Like I said, stupid.
