"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 don't know what you are so worried about ? The clock will run out before anything can get to trial even if things are real. That is the purpose of stonewalling. After 20 January 2021 all of this along with everything Barr and Durham have been investigating will be swept under the rug.
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.
Try again. I'm not talking about his stonewalling.

Yeah, I'm anxious, with the republicans filing lawsuits that generally seem to be baseless and Barr "investigating" supposed fraud in such a partisan way that the DOJ official in charge of investigating voter fraud stepped down in protest.

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.
I can't decide if I like "Make America Rake Again" or " Lawn and Order!"
Sadly not available on a shirt.
Overheard at our deli (very blue collar/right wing in general): Stupid Rudi, got himself stuck between a cock and a charred place.
I snorted.
Also a shirt I would buy.
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...

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.â
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 splendorâhis infantile tirades, his disastrous and lethal policies, his contempt for democracy in all its formsâand 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 âjust like themâ 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 heâd 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 Trumpâs 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 Ryanâwho had pointedly refused to endorse Trump even after he became the de facto Republican nomineeâfinally caved. Or thatâs the way it appeared. âSpeaker Ryanâs abject surrender makes it official,â declared a Democratic spokesman. âThe GOP is Trumpâs party now.â
But that wasnât quite right. Ryan hadnât raised the white flag; he had made a bet. âIâll be voting for @realDonaldTrump,â the Wisconsin native tweeted, because âIâm confident he will help turn the House GOPâs agenda into laws.â Ryan wagered that if he swallowed Trumpâs racist authoritarianism, Trump would enact his economic vision. For Ryan and his ideological alliesâwho have devoted their careers to shredding Americaâs social safety netâthat bet has paid off. It has also helped cost Trump a second term. (...)
