2020 Election Thread

[AmareIsGod]

Yeah. Noticed Drawls posting history is fantasy sports and politics around this election.

[Indy]

I have to ask if you read this or just watched a clip. The details show you that at 450,000 ballots cast just for Biden, means that of the 155.5M votes cast nation-wide, 0.3% were for Biden and no other candidate. That seems like a lot to you?

[Indy]

And you know they brought the firing squad back right? Why would he do this if he didn't know he was going to win? Why is he still making all these peace deals with the middle east?

All what deals with the middle east? Did you read the details of the Moroccan one? He violated a UN resolution for an independence hearing and then agreed to sell them a ton of weapons to get them to acknowledge Israel exists. That isn't peace. It is a prelude to war.

Supreme Court rejects Texas and Trump's bid to overturn the election

From CNN's Ariane de Vogue
The Supreme Court acted with unusual speed to reject a bid from Texas’ attorney general— supported by President Trump — to block the ballots of millions of voters in battleground states that went in favor of President-elect Joe Biden.

The court’s move to dismiss the challenge is the strongest indication yet, that Trump has no chance of overturning election results in court that even the justices who he placed on the Supreme Court have no interest in allowing his desperate legal bids to continue.

How can that be? He packed the Supreme Court just for this reason. What a bunch of backstabbers! Am I right?!

[Nodack]

The Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment. Trump can demand their resignations, Tweet mean things about them, call them all traitors or anything else he wants. It won’t make a lick of difference.

[Nodack]

I am willing to bet my car that nothing comes from the stupid Texas lawsuit just like the fifty previous lawsuits that went nowhere that were supposed to be the end of Biden. The Texas lawsuit will go nowhere and ten more frivolous lawsuits will be filed the same day that are supposed to be the end of Biden that go nowhere.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) filed the lawsuit before the Supreme Court on Tuesday against Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — all states Biden won.

Texas has no jurisdiction over elections in other states. The lawsuit is stupid. They are complaining that mail in voting happened and they want to nullify all the mail in votes. Trump tried to destroy the postal service to keep people from voting by mail, which he always does himself. Trump told all his supporters to vote in person and now Republicans are trying to nullify mail in votes because the vast majority of them are Democrats who didn’t buy into Trumps BS about mail in voting. It’s beyond ludicrous.

I am embarrassed for the GOP. Trump has completely gutted the Republican party. There isn’t a shred of decency left. Any moderates have been booted or silenced except for Romney who continues to be one of the few Republicans with any morals or balls.

I welcome an investigation into Hunter Biden. He is already being investigated by the IRS.

What kind of car do you have?

Good thing you didn’t bet.

Investigators with the Manhattan district attorney's office have interviewed several employees at President Donald Trump's lender and insurance broker in recent weeks as part of a wide-ranging investigation into the Trump Organization, according to multiple people familiar with the investigation.

Two employees of Deutsche Bank, which has loaned more than $300 million to the Trump Organization, were interviewed by prosecutors, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Senate approves defense bill with veto-proof majority in rebuke to Trump
https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/11/politics ... index.html
The Senate voted overwhelmingly on Friday to approve a sweeping defense bill with a veto-proof majority, a major rebuke to President Donald Trump who has urged Republican opposition and threatened to veto the legislation. The vote was 84 to 13.

Trump's position on the bill has sharply divided GOP lawmakers, forcing them to choose between loyalty to the President and legislation that sets defense policy for the country. In the end, however, the President's opposition was not enough to stall passage of the legislation through Congress. The Senate vote comes after the House of Representatives also passed the bill with a veto-proof majority earlier this week. Now it will be up to Trump to decide how to respond.
The $740 billion bill known as the National Defense Authorization Act includes pay raises for America's soldiers, modernizations for equipment and provisions to require more scrutiny before troops are withdrawn from Germany or Afghanistan, but that hasn't stopped Trump's threats against it.

[Superbone]

Maybe some Republicans are finally starting to come to their senses and shake themselves from the Trump stupor?

[Nodack]

A few. Trump still presides over his supporters who are the same people all those other Republicans need to get reelected. They are terrified of Trump Tweeting something bad about them. They would rather jump over the cliff that Trump tells them to jump off and keep his support than do the right thing and risk Trump Tweet wrath.

Sounds like a threat...

[Nodack]

It’s over...again.

[Indy]

You really need to get off the Q-train Drawls. It is all bullshit.

[Superbone]

It’s over, Big D. The American people have spoken. Trump lost bigly. By over 7 million votes.

You have been totally duped by a bunch of nut jobs. You’ve got to use some critical thinking, bud. There are many, many people willing to lie to your face.

[Cap]

Trump lost bigly. By over 7 million votes.

Trump lost barely. Biden’s total margin of victory was 43,809 votes in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin. The national popular vote doesn’t mean anything, as Al Gore and Hillary Clinton can tell you.
