Shouldn't you be looking deep into the eyes of a fellow TDS sufferer and solemnly saying that our country barely dodged another existential crisis? Then share a long and gently sobbing hug?

I’m doing exactly what I should be doing at this time. Taking great pleasure in the lamentation of your women.

It must be so legally muddy about the right to play songs within a political campaign. Clearly you can’t broadcast them. But what else?

[jon-nyc]

I doubt it’s muddy at all. There’s probably a half century of case law as to what constitutes a public performance.

And yet the playing of unlicensed songs by well heeled campaigns continues to be ubiquitous.

[jon-nyc]

Her experience with the song is a great metaphor for her campaign. She thinks she “wont back down” but ultimately the law says she has to.

Let's just be thankful that nothing rhymes with orange.

Now we're just being petty

As long as they pay fair use, who cares?

[jon-nyc]

Magats gon’ Magat.

[Jolly]

Blame them?

It was a total clusterfuck of an election in Maricopa County. Care to defend that?

The Republican in charge was prepared to do just that, but the Magats only wanted to preen in front of the camera.

Care to defend that?

[Jolly]

Absolutely.

Maricopa County was a travesty in 2020. Most people would try to fix their problem. Maricopa managed to make it worse.

Gross incompetence is worthy of derision.

Unless you'd care to defend that.

@Jolly

Seems to me if you were genuinely concerned about election procedures and practices, you’d ask the guy in your own party who is in charge.

But if you just used election denialism to grift off the credulous third of the GOP base then you’d make an angry video and walk out.

[Jolly]

Look at the bright side...If this was Fulton County and this happened in that Democrat stronghold, buildings would be burning by now...

[Jolly]

You know what's interesting?

I think Lake was up by 10 points in the polls just before the election. On the down ballot, Republicans picked up more than 100,000 votes than she did.

The first can be explained by mail-in ballots. Don't know if the second one can.

In other news, California is still conting ballots (around 250,000) and won't be through for another week.

Helluva way to run a railroad...

I was reading somewhere (can't find the article right now) that is the Arizona places do not certify, then the state will not count their ballots at all. This could result in a couple of Congress races switching over to the Democrat side.
