Under the Constitution... Article I, Section 4, Clause 1: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators. I think there's enough wiggle room in the clause to standardize a few things. I think the Feds can require a drop-dead reporting deadline. I think the Feds can require a full accounting of the ballot at all places that are open to fraudulent acts, which might put more emphasis on same-day paper ballots and fully witnessed counts. Regardless, I know we can do better.

I like Peter Thiel in the military uniform…

@Mik said in Some folks just need a good ass whuppin'.: Tell me again which party is more antisemitic? I am not sure it is possible to take a conclusion from the video. blames Jewish for killing babies in Gaza blames Jewish for trying to kill Trump blames Jewish for killing Kennedy Seems like the guy is just mentally unstable.

Very goofy. Next Wednesday, the sun will come up, the trains will run, the grocery stores will open, etc. no matter who wins the election.

I've been assured that such interference never happens. Or if it does, it's on both sides. https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/34639/the-republicans-commit-election-fraud-thread

@Mik said in At the White House earlier: How can you tell? He drops the medal.

Thought question: Trump calls Walz a dipshit and says, "Well, he's gay." What would the news cycle be for the next 48 hours?

We should lock them up before they build detention camps.

@George-K said in "Mr. Carlson, would you comment?": @Horace said in "Mr. Carlson, would you comment?": dare them to print it seriously. "Mr. Carlson, in a response to our inquiry stated that he, indeed, has taken a blood oath to Q Anon and other far right organizations. As of press time, he has not responded to our question about his alleged embracing the Nazi party. However, a source reported he was seen wearing a brown shirt."

Smart move for Apple. Photoshop is, I believe, the only Adobe software still designed and updated by the team here in the U.S. and not India. It's hard to beat. As a desktop editor, Pixelmator doesn't even come close. It'd be a stupid choice. But as built-in phone software? Great idea.

In the thread, someone commented that the FBI seized all of Diddy's computers. But, it wasn't to preserve evidence, but to prevent prominent names from coming out. Remember when Epstein's computers disappeared? Yeah.

Man I hope this isn't a woulda coulda shoulda Bill Buckner style election.

@jon-nyc said in Remember when candidates’ grades mattered?: Trump threatened legal action against any university that released his transcript. He must be so proud of them. I bring it up because I remember the Bush/Gore grade wars. Obama hasn't released his college records either.

@Copper said in But why?: @Doctor-Phibes said in But why?: So that started during the Trump presidency, and then went away after Biden took charge? No Like that other famous orange gentleman The Man from Del Monte, the graph says "Yes!"

Love this - this probably brings those kids more joy than a typical American buying a nice car.
