@xenon said in Andrew Sullivan is on point:

@Loki I'm saying he could probably do nothing and things will look pretty decent by April.

It'll look better. Flu season will be over.

Not really an escalation, more of a turnabout

The protests on Wednesday came just hours after Hillary Clinton, in her ... page titled “Not My President” called for protesters to gather on Inauguration Day

Are you into necrophilia?

In a pinch.

Hahahaha

Only 5 who were registered as lobbyists in the last year though.

Out of 500+ appointees? Honestly I would have guessed a much higher number than the 5 or the 40.

I'm guessing a decade or two ago it would have been a much larger number.

Yeah. On the plus side there's going to be a recount as it is.

@Mik lol

For example, anti Semitic. They believe Republicans are anti Semitic. Yet they believe Israel is a bunch of devil's for mistreating those poor poor "palestinians", they think moving the US embassy in Israel was done to hurt "palestinians" and help mean old Israel, the peace deals Trump worked out between Israel and other Arab nation is bad..... the truth is, THEY are the ones who are antisemitic.

Some Jewish communities are catching on, though, and they're bringing this to light. It going to be interesting to see how the militant left grapples with those in the Jewish community who are calling out this behavior. So far they haven't gone so far as to adopt an overall anti-Jewish mindset, but I wonder what's going to happen in the next few years.

Trump did pretty well with Florida Jews. Those are going to be the older guys, the sons and the daughters of Jews who well remember the Holocaust and know what real anti-Semitism. is.

The popular vote itself.

@Aqua-Letifer said in Does trump fire Fauci?:

Would firing Fauci even matter at this point? It'll inflame a few people but Fauci's the guy, whether you want him to be or not. He's who people want to listen to. He gets fired and starts his own YouTube channel, I doubt anything would really change.

If fired, he will be invited into the Biden transition team.

Likely.

The problem states that you will be the last seated.

Also if the problem were what you are outlining, there would be a 75% chance you’d get your seat. Because even when you are after the Free Spirit, there’s still a 50% chance you’d end up in your own seat.

I read somewhere that there's been some discussion about auto insurance - if you're in an accident and you weren't driving for an "essential purpose" your auto 8nsurance will be invalid.

I believe that was in Great Britain. Your insurance will not be invalid, but they will not cover any liability for that particular trip.

The UK lockdowns have been way more restrictive than anything in the US across the board, with the exception of school attendance, where I think pretty much all kids have been attending 5 days a week as normal.

They still managed to screw it up, of course - the perception is that a bunch of southern assholes have been allowing their own friends to get away with murder whilst they force the northerners to stay indoors.

Well, OK, that's the northerners perception.

Just let it play out. If it is baseless as you say then the system will have been proven accurate. Shutting it down now will cause more damage to voter confidence as evidenced by the Democrats screaming about 2000 to this day.

Got prospectus?

@jon-nyc said in Oops....:

The canvassing process always fixes errors. It is rare that they are of the magnitude that changes an apparent winner.

But knowing that the canvassing quite literally always finds errors, we should not presume fraud for those, and only those, that break against our preferred candidate.

Fraud should never be allowed, for any candidate.

25 years minimum, at hard labor, sounds about right.

Of course, aren't you the same guy who didn't mind lies in a FISA court? I could be mistaken...

At the end if the day, it all boils down to the same thing. You either trust the system or not. For the system to be trusted, it must be as error-free as humanly possible.

@George-K said in McCabe testifies:

McCabe lies again.

Of course, as Deputy Director of the FBI, why would he have cause to know such an obscure thing?

He actually said that his firing because of lying was very different than Flynn's prosecution for lying.

Except he's not looking at jail.
