This is a fun twitter thread about the Philly lawsuit that got tossed. https://twitter.com/kadhim/status/1324482449498394624?s=20

Calm down Francis.

Nothing like a President undermining the democratic process.

It's looking like the "hanging chad" of this one is going to be legible postmarks.

Do you have an evidence of this? Does anyone? Outside Trumps ramblings there's no evidence of it. They've lost a few lawsuits about it now. Unless you're going to contend each of those judges is super liberal enough to disregard their oaths/jobs. I saw 1 video on FoxNews about it that was quickly address by the Nevada election officials. It is strange the Fox called AZ so early. Also, cutting of counting of the mailing ballots will probably hit military voters overseas dis-proportionally. Maybe not, I'm sure I'll see it in the news at some point. There's evidence of states doing things their way...seems very Republican to me.

Saw a tweet on Shaprio's timeline from Jeb Bush that sheds some light into FL being ahead on these things. Before I retired and was a DO of one of the National CPTs we spent a lot of time discussing election protection (CYBERCOM put this out there). There are a lot of states that are damn near medieval with how they run their elections. It's a benefit/cost of our system. We had to dig down into the frigging US code/Constitution to figure out where we could offer assistance if we were asked for it. You'd think the lawyers at CNMF would do that...nah. That's why the Guard is so important for cyber, gov's can just use them (see Louisiana recently). https://twitter.com/JebBush/status/1324168561582055426?s=20

Getting? It has been, and will be close. I'm looking forward to seeing the margins that whomever wins each state wins by. 10K voters, 5K somewhere...maybe less. I think that's cool, and our process is cool. I hate that it's already getting called a fraud, largest turnout...ever?...and "fraud." R's picking up more minority votes (good thing)...also fraud? Ben Shapiro very right on his calls about this whole thing.

I crossed out Harris for a reason. Keeping this on Biden. So it's a purely political thing for you then? Trump hasn't been in a position to do those things politically, but has done some awful things commercially/personally. Those get a wash? LGBT movement...a lot of current politicians disagreed with (ex. Pence, Obama, Dubya, etc.). I'm not versed enough in his politics for "bad choices" on the military. I guess the point I'm trying to understand (from red to blue) is how you can think him, as an individual, as a bad person compared to Trump. Not as a politician, he's been in gov't far to long to be "clean," but Trump's lack of politics just means I include what he was doing during that time. At least I'd think they'd be even. sidenote - the reddit meltdown is glorious.

What are you basing this on? Personality, morally, patriotically? I'm not sure how you have Biden in the same room as Trump, point to Biden and go, "He's the reprehensible one."

Good. Didn't want to make another post, but as a statistics nerd 538's analysis has been a lot of fun.

Than Reagan? Really?

Come on, when has Israel every done anything not in the interest of America?!

All truth. Ben Shapiro had a good bit of LA history on it his last Rogan podcast appearance. I've got family in Portland who're outraged at how the city is handling the situation. "Just give them homes and out patient treatment, problem solved maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan." I've had to protect my family from some of the crazies when we go to visit. It's a fucking trip to be in a Burgerville with my young son, having to decide how close is "too close" with a stinky homeless fellow human being dancing in a circle blasted out of their cranuim. Or having to tell people "No" they can't use our bathroom at church because we're scared they're going to use in there. Liberal head's in the sand about "wanting freedom" fall on my deaf ears when they clean out these tents and there's shit and needles...everywhere. These people have zero freedom while they're broken humans. But it costs money, and it costs time and it costs compassion. Something I've found in shorter supply from my conservative brothers/sisters, which is interesting with how much the Evangelical movement claims it. Not throwing stones, don't want to get into the political side, just musing I've had for years on this subject. I'm in UT now, and just last week they were a big push to get out one of the camps in SLC. Reading the headlines about it...so many are mentally broken AND addicted to drugs. There are a lot of shelters here, there's a lot the government does here. But people don't want to go to a prison like place (they lock the doors at night) and "told what to do" (can't shoot up). Can't say which came first the mental illness/drugs, but they need forceful help or life in a mental health care facility until they can rejoin us in society. I'm happy to pay taxes towards that end, and donate (and will continue to) to the services that provide those ends. This is a needs a concerted effort by both government (local/state/federal) and communities (individuals/organizations/churches) to solve. I say all this having had a homeless scare earlier in my life, and later becoming physically dependent on opiates during some prolonged extreme pain. I was never addicted, but the thought of being dependent on a pill to get through the day was, and is, terrifying.

They make perfect sense...again, you're just not willing to see it.

Who's the troll now?

How dare you leave of Tim Dillon!

Yeah...so...who cares? This is very much what have you done for me lately. The R's...nothing. Good!

Yep, not continued but my ADSC was up in Nov '19. Everyday past that was because I wanted to be there. Felt like a weight off my shoulders (doubly so since I hit 20yrs in Jun '19). Come PCS time got Stratcom as LNO (basically) from 16AF...hard pass.

I'd rather watch something Sim posts here.

Laughed more at Trump too, but I think that's tied into the "Trump style" of delivery being even more exaggerated. Dude's an entertaining, never said he wasn't. Building on that for the video I think is easier. I thought Biden's were "harder hitting" for whatever a fake rap battle is.

I wonder if this is one of those things where I'd watch it and come to a completely different interpretation.

Congresswoman Duckworth lighting up that dude claiming to be a veteran is one of my fav government hearing moments.

Government does these things because they're seen as valuable to continuing society/culture or government itself if you're cynical. That's why there's tax breaks for kids, marriage and other things deemed "good" by the legislature.

Good video of Kimi's first lap. Got my heart rate up. Hope it doesn't get taken down - https://streamable.com/o2513i
