    US Election Day 2020

    That was inevitable. If they can't prove it in court, then they will need to shut up or it will be considered an attempted coup, and the next Attorney General should go after them. The Democrats are being very coy about their plans for prosecution of the Trump administration, because they...

    His lead on Wednesday was 7K, then Thursday it was 14K, now 21K. Biden scoring Touchdowns daily in Nevada.

    That video starts so somber and dark, and then the last two minutes will make you smile.

    If Biden wins Arizona, can we get an album? Waylon Jennings, Duane Eddy, Glen Campbell, Alice Cooper, Stevie Nicks, Jimmy Eat World, Linda Ronstadt, Gin Blossoms...

    US Election Day 2020

    While we watch if PA and GA flip, there is good news out of Arizona. The late night release of numbers tonight showed less than 7000 new votes, but THEY WERE IN BIDEN'S FAVOR! After three releases of votes that showed Trump on track to possibly winning Arizona, tonight showed that not all the...

    US Election Day 2020

    Biden just needs to win the states he currently leads and he will have 270. Trump's lead in PA keeps shrinking, too.

    US Election Day 2020

    In on the first page. I hope that Biden's win is decisive enough that we don't have to wait around for days or weeks waiting for recounts and court battles. I want this mess over with quickly! I've looked into Arizona's early voting numbers, registration numbers, and best polling numbers to...

    2020 U.S. Presidential elections

    I've actually run some numbers. Sources Florida Early Voting Statistics https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/az-fl-pa-wi/bc6b622f38350414/full.pdf I'm interested in Florida, because 1.) if Biden wins Florida, the race is over, 2.) Florida has a high early voter turnout, 3.) Party...

    Brexit.

    According to Phil, the UK signed up to agree to WTO-GPA trade rules, which are the very same trade rules used by the EU. While this may result in an actual deal with the EU (finally), it also means UK can't be as independent as they have been claiming, and the last 4 years of negotiating and...

    Brexit.

    Joe Biden considers himself an Irish-American, so BoJo isn't going to get sympathy if he wins.

    Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Has Died

    Here's the thing: The GOP can't hold out until after the election, they have to do it before. Unless they can be persuaded otherwise, it looks like Collins, Murkowski, and Romney are taking the "lets wait until after the election" stand. Now if none of the other GOP Senators agree that still...

    Brexit.

    So let me get this straight. A year ago, BoJo agreed to basically hand over Northern Ireland to Ireland in exchange for Brexit, while secretly agreeing with the ERG and DUP to reneg on the NI part of the agreement once Brexit is done and a US Free trade agreement happens -- forcing EU to keep...

    2020 Democratic Primary

    I hope you are right on this. As I see it, Sanders energizes people who don't vote to vote. Biden is boring and doesn't really inspire anything. I see Biden vs Trump as 2016 all over again. But it looks like the DNC has made its choice. It damn well better be right. We don't really have a...

    Dems Need To Learn From the UK Election to UNITE under one message: GET HIM OUT!

    There is a growing Liberal wing among young democratic congresspersons currently led by Alexandria Ocasio Cortez who is the up and coming heir apparent to Bernie. Young millennials are much more liberal, diverse, and non-religious than their conservative parents, just like in the UK. Also like...

    Brexit.

    I'm inclined to think that barring some global catastrophe, UK will never rejoin the EU in most of our lifetimes. What will almost certainly happen at some point is that UK (or what's left of it at the time) will rejoin the customs unions and free trade block, aka the Norway/Switzerland...
