I think back to the Bush/Gore recount and you had these republicans in suits trying to storm the office in West Palm Beach, FL where they were going through the hanging chads..

And the whole time all Bush needed were Daddy’s big guns appointed to the SCOTUS.

I would be genuinely surprised if a fake video or three doesn't surface. Russians have been working on it and Trump/McConnell scuttled the efforts to keep up with the technology

Good thing we’ll have a new AG

I take it Trump must be golfing today. I went on a mountain bike ride and ran into a black SUV and some edgy looking guys in the woods. I guess I’m glad the encounter was quick and harmless since I shot past them and they looked a bit scared, I certainly have nothing missing on my person. I guess I’m also learning that I need to stay out of the woods near my house on the weekends.

I am beginning to believe that we somehow unwittingly entered the mirror universe. George Will - George Will - wrote this:

[quote=“George Will”][Karen Bass’s] public career, which has been shaped by her district’s memories of both disasters, suits her to be Joe Biden’s vice-presidential selection... Health care, which will be 2020’s most salient issue when statue-smashing has run its course, “obsessed” her, she says, when in her 30s two epidemics — AIDS and crack cocaine — ravaged African American communities. She says crack provoked benighted policies that “criminalized a public health problem.” Leaving her position as a clinical instructor at the University of Southern California’s Department of Family Medicine, she founded in 1990 the nonprofit Community Coalition (CoCo) to devise nonpolice measures for addressing crime... In Florida, the most important swing state, some Democrats resent Bass’s too-respectful 2016 statement on Fidel Castro’s death, calling him “comandante en jefe” (commander in chief)... Today, Bass chairs the Congressional Black Caucus, a former leader of which is South Carolina’s James E. Clyburn, now in his 14th term and third-ranking in the Democrats’ House leadership. Rarely has a presidential nominee owed to a supporter a debt as large as Biden’s debt to Clyburn.[/quote]

I suppose what he likes best about her is that she seems not to be interested in the top job so will pose no threat to a theoretically “normalized” Republican Party, but still: holy shit. This is from a man who once called for forced sterilizations in exchange for welfare checks.

I’ve become a big George Will fan

@jeffsessions
I’ve taken the road less travelled. Not sought fame or fortune. My honor and integrity are far more important than these juvenile insults. Your scandal ridden candidate is too cowardly to debate. As you know, Alabama does not take orders from Washington.

@realDonaldTrump
Big Senate Race in Alabama on Tuesday. Vote for @TTuberville, he is a winner who will never let you down. Jeff Sessions is a disaster who has let us all down. We don’t want him back in Washington!

LoL

Trump wanted to sell Puerto Rico in 2017
