"According to the American Election Eve Poll by Latino Decisions, 56% of whites voted for Trump. A CNN exit poll found a similar number, 57% of whites voting for the President.

But voters of color were a different story. According to the LD poll, 70% of Latinos, 89% of Blacks, 68% of Asians and 60% of American Indians voted for Biden. "

I worry about the lasting damage Trump will try to do before leaving town.  His stonewalling is only because he doesn't have to class to admit he lost and transition with an ounce of grace.  He must really make you proud.

Four Senate seats are yet to be determined.  Anybody care to forecast how this might go?

As an investor, I love it when Americans kick thorny problems down the road.  But this time?   With the risk of Trump II, Trump III and Trump IV, is it worth it?

——————————————-

One outcome of a Republican dominated Senate could be a much weaker US dollar.   That might not necessarily be a bad thing in and of itself.

It's probably a good thing but immediately after the election, Amazon decided to be more restrictive re: what we can say on a shirt. So if you got one of my Antifa Anarchy Soup shirts, it's a collector's item now...

Not at all.  'Concentration' camps so Trump supporters can quickly achieve herd immunity after culling the weak.

So the Trump campaign is suing the Michigan Secretary of State for better access to the ballot counting. They presented their petition along with what they claimed was evidence of vote tampering. The judge intervenes during the presentation to explain to the lawyer (who has been practicing in Michigan since 1987) that the evidence presented was hearsay and not admissible.

Nick Sarwark (a lawyer and former chair of the Libertarian Party) posted all this on Facebook; and apparently all the lawyers got the joke but he had to explain it to the muggles. To quote Nick:

"Someone asked for an analogy in a normal job for how bad this mistake is.

Not wearing pants."

The other comments are pretty good too. My favorite so far:

"If his criminal defense attorneys are half as sloppy as his election attorneys are, he's gonna die in prison.”

If you want to watch his team beclown themselves:

So how'ze my math now ?

2020: 68,315,823 votes (47.9%)

You're looking (currently) at ~5.35M increase. 8.5%. Truthful hyperbole...  

The enemy:
2016: 65,853,514 votes (48.18%)
2020: 71,922,848 votes (50.4%)
 
Trump will likely have 70 million when it is all counted. 

As of this morning he now has 68.7 million with 91% of the popular vote counted.

Whatever.  I think my point still stands scrutiny.

But no matter how this election concludes, America is now a different country. Nearly half of the voters have seen Trump in all of his splendor—his infantile tirades, his disastrous and lethal policies, his contempt for democracy in all its forms—and they decided that they wanted more of it. His voters can no longer hide behind excuses about the corruption of Hillary Clinton or their willingness to take a chance on an unproven political novice. They cannot feign ignorance about how Trump would rule. They know, and they have embraced him.

Sadly, the voters who said in 2016 that they chose Trump because they thought he was “just like them” turned out to be right. Now, by picking him again, those voters are showing that they are just like him: angry, spoiled, racially resentful, aggrieved, and willing to die rather than ever admit that they were wrong.

Honestly, the only anxiety now is whether we'll get to see him dragged out of the Peoples' House in January. I have this big bag of Jolly Time ready to go...

 
I really doubt this would happen. Mostly because it would damage 'the brand'. But as things drag on, I'm having trouble finding a path that he can navigate successfully, so who knows. SUrely the kids will step in soon to save their inheritance .  

 
Somebody will get to him and explain that he can keep more of the base by NOT getting his ass thrown out of court over and over again... and preserving his ability to whine about the scam election process.  He'll need them for his radio show.

 
Radio Show? I kinda thought he'd stay on the road with his rallies, like a demented carny. He can clean up selling his merch.

How Trump Lost
If he’d governed as he ran in 2016, as an economic populist, he would likely have been reelected. Instead, he reverted to the same old Republican playbook.
The roots of Donald Trump’s reelection defeat can be traced to the early summer of 2016, when he made a fateful bargain with his own party. In June of that year, House Speaker Paul Ryan—who had pointedly refused to endorse Trump even after he became the de facto Republican nominee—finally caved. Or that’s the way it appeared. “Speaker Ryan’s abject surrender makes it official,” declared a Democratic spokesman. “The GOP is Trump’s party now.”

But that wasn’t quite right. Ryan hadn’t raised the white flag; he had made a bet. “I’ll be voting for @realDonaldTrump,” the Wisconsin native tweeted, because “I’m confident he will help turn the House GOP’s agenda into laws.” Ryan wagered that if he swallowed Trump’s racist authoritarianism, Trump would enact his economic vision. For Ryan and his ideological allies—who have devoted their careers to shredding America’s social safety net—that bet has paid off. It has also helped cost Trump a second term. (...)
