#JAILTOTHECHIEF- Shit Just Got Real

[Kara Spengler]

Does anyone think Mitt Romney (or someone else) could be chosen to run for 2020? Is this possible or too late?

(Forgive my lack of US election knowledge)

Very unlikely as the primaries (or at least most of them) have already happened. Technically the candidates are not selected until the conventions this summer, but slight of the winner of a party's primary dying the candidates are known at this point (on the dem side sometimes convention votes not tied to primary votes matter but those have usually stated their intentions by now). The best way Romney could get on the ballot is to run third party as often those are small enough to have an actual convention where the outcome is not certain.

“Like people don’t remember, nobody ever heard of it until I came along, nobody remembered it for a long time, or they didn’t use it at least, I use it all the time: Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. You know you say that and people say, ‘I didn’t know that’, but he was Republican, so we’re doing a great job.”

Look at these guys. I guess they're doing it to massage Dump's ego, but they're completely ridiculous.

That's probably why he does look better in a mask.

Additionally, the Supreme Court has just ruled that "faithless electors" can be punished, so that makes it even more unlikely. Those delegates are already bound to Trump or Biden.

 

[Casey Pelous]

Eh? I thought that ruling was about Electoral College electors -- does it cover convention delegates, too?

Afaik that was for the electoral college. The parties can pick someone else but neither major parties have came out of a convention without the result known before it in decades.

With FEMA aid to rebuild from riots denied, Minnesota looks elsewhere

As Minnesota leaders pondered their next steps, it's not yet clear what other sources of funds they may tap.

FUCK YOU, Trump Administration. $500 million in damages, the governor only asked for $16 million and this administration turned them down.

He probably commuted Stone's sentence so that his current conspirators for the fall election won't fear prison for whatever illegal activities they are now committing.

Certainly does a good job of hiding that huge anus below his nose.

Now, if only the mask could mute it as well...

Wait until you see what they're spending to prop up the stock market in time for the next administration.

How can they prop up the stock market? Pump-and-dumps?

Usually when they parachute drop billions trillions onto Wall Street, that's an expected, though indirect, windfall.
