Well, that was CNN looking into a sample of 50 from the 14,000 that Trump side claimed, no?

Murdoch may have turned on Trump but, if today’s The Australian cartoon is anything to go by, the attacks on Biden are just beginning. I have to laugh at the total lack of self awareness including “big media”.

Spoiler!
I'm dissappointed in my fellow bc residents with all the q anon crap they have been posting that Bidens a sniffer and they moved from one pedophile to a bigger one. To be fair the majority are from the interior which dosen't surprise me all.My lifelong friends from their have fallen into the Q anon hole and it's ####ing disappointing. There not even that stupid. They all went to college and university but wow what a big disappointment.


That cartoon is a joke. Trump didn't represent the common man. He was tied more into all dipicted because he owes more money to them than most corporations do.

Small sample size and generalizations and all that stuff. I live in the interior and I don't know a single person that believes in that garbage.

btw it's 'they're'. They're not even that stupid.

What is the funniest about Spooner's political cartoon is that is a direct ripoff from what Breitbart used to be. When Andrew Breitbart first started blogging his trashy blogs were called BIG Government, BIG Hollywood, and BIG Media. We now where this dufus got his inspiration from.

The DOJ's top election crimes prosecutor just resigned in protest over Barr's memo yesterday.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/09/polit...ies/index.html

Quote:
Richard Pilger, director of the elections crimes branch in the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section, told colleagues in an email that the attorney general was issuing "an important new policy abrogating the forty-year-old Non-Interference Policy for ballot fraud investigations in the period prior to elections becoming certified and uncontested." Pilger also forwarded the memo to colleagues in his resignation letter.

Pilger's resignation email didn't make clear whether he plans to stay in the department in another capacity.

Barr's densely worded memo had told prosecutors they could take investigative steps such as interviewing witnesses during a period that they would normally need permission from the elections crimes section. It's not clear what practical effect the policy would have in an election in which President Donald Trump trails President-elect Joe Biden by tens of thousands of votes in several key states.

Barr didn't provide any indication that the Justice Department has come up with evidence to support Trump's claim of massive fraud in last week's election.
Quote:
The memo came after weeks of internal discussions among Justice officials, during which senior officials told Barr changing the policy on fraud investigations would be a bad idea, according to a person briefed on the discussions. Barr issued the memo Monday to the surprise of senior officials, including Pilger, the person briefed on the matter said.

I sincerely hope they find federal charges to lay on Barr after this is over and he ends up in prison. He is the definition of scum.

Ya boy Eric Trump, in a since deleted tweet, encouraged Minnesotans to get out and vote today. I cannot imagine what it must be like to be the dumb one out of that brood.

There's been a few of these come out now. I think at the end of the day, it makes Republicans look even more ridiculous but then maybe I'm underestimating the stupidity of Republicans. I'd love to sit down with one and go through some of the obvious lies told by their candidates. I just can't understand the way they think.

Here's another one where a Maryland candidate tweeted that she was up big on election day but then a flood of votes resulted in her losing. The reality is that she lost by almost 50 points and a look at the vote breakdown shows she lost by a ton on election day as well. She's also in a riding that is heavily democratic (Baltimore).

https://www.baltimoresun.com/politic...d44-story.html

Twitter needs to change its policy and start deleting these misleading posts. When they're shown with a flag it just makes them think that it's being censored by "Big Tech" but still true.

Lost in all the insanity over these last couple of days, Obamacare is back before the Supreme Court today.

https://www.npr.org/2020/11/10/93244...it-was-enacted

Quote:
The first attempts to derail the law failed in the high court by votes of 5-to-4 and 6-to-3. But the makeup of the court is very different now, with three justices appointed by President Trump – among them new Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Before her nomination, Barrett consistently criticized the court's two previous decisions, a critique that Senate Democrats repeatedly bludgeoned her with at her confirmation hearings.

But the ACA has remained in place for a decade, and the legal landscape has changed so much over that time that many of those who originally took issue with the law in the Supreme Court think this challenge is a stretch. In fact, most of the groups that fought the ACA after it was enacted in 2010 are missing in action from Tuesday's case.

Okay, someone explain this one. I thought the Lincoln Project was really just interested in defeating Trump. Yet they're still pumping out ads, now for the Georgia democrats in the senate race runoff. So... what's going on here?

They are about defeating Trumpism. That includes his enablers in the Senate.

Yes they are republicans, but they are trying to return their party back to a semblance of what it once was before it got hijacked by televangelists, Qanon, and power by any means.

And for what it's worth, I admire it. They aren't perfect, don't get me wrong. But at least they are trying to get their party back, which, if it can become healthy again, will lead to a more balanced and healthy democracy in the states in general.
