Worth a listen if you have 5 minutes to spare.

ETA -- it's not clear from the tweets, I think, where this is happening. That may be suspicious, or it may simply be an oversight on the author's part.

Ad hominem seems the only rational response these days:


Though is it really ad hominem? “Based on all these other observations I weight A more credible than B. Your move.”

 

[Katheryne Helendale]

As long as the USA stays deeply devided as today, where pissing off the other side seems more important than getting useful things done, by a large chunk of the US population, there is very little hope that things will change a lot.
But Trump personally, he knows he is most likely finished the moment he steps (or is dragged) out of the White House. He has nothing to lose, and that is the way he is acting.
That almost every Republican politician keeps silent as a mouse, is a thing I wasn't expecting when the elections were over.
I thought they would leave the sinking ship like even rats normally do, the moment Donny had lost.
They must have the idea they gain more if they hang on. That worries me a lot too these last days.

GOP congresscritters started distancing themselves from Trump before the election. They believed he was going down hard in the polls, and saw him as a threat to their own survival. But then, election day came, and two things happened: Trump supporters showed up in record numbers to vote for him, AND, nearly every single GOP congresscritter up for reelection managed to keep their jobs. Yes, Trump ultimately lost, but they see no harm in sticking to him now, and some even believe Trump can somehow still pull off an upset, even if in the courts.

At any rate, when the GOP congresscritters saw that walking in lockstep with Trump the past four years didn't cost them their jobs after all, that just further emboldened them. Unless we can manage to flip the Senate, President-elect Biden is in for a rocky time for at least the next two years.

So they're flip-flopping around, reversing their poisition by 180° (more than once).

Isn't that at this point just election interference? Aren't there any laws against that?

They have now also called Georgia (Biden) and North Carolina (Trump). So all 50 states have been called:

New York Times Election Results

Meanwhile, on the popular vote, Biden leads by 5.3 million votes, or 50.8% to 47.4% (+3.4). Georgia hand fucking recount has started, but it is not likely to change more than a few hundred votes. Will take most of the coming week to finish. The Secretary of State in GA, who oversees elections, is in quarantine because his wife has COVID

I've decided that Dan Rather saying 'Dude' is up there with Betty White calling people 'fuckers' even if it was in a role....

Its one of those things I've always wanted to see/hear without knowing it.

Errm... I think this is the time seriously to consider professional intervention (and antipsychotics)
