 It shouldn't bother Kiid anyway because he preferred Biden. For his kid's sake.

Not rocket science,  Kid.  Postmarked by Nov.  3.  Slow mail.   A few days allowed so ballots can get through mail.   

Much evidence of that is in the gar-bage.

Not so much the kids, but thanks for recalling.

Robert Reich
The media has suddenly started cutting off Trump's press conferences and calling out his lies in real time.   This should have started years ago.

America needs a mandatory civics class before voting,  so people could learn what democratic FM socialism actually is,  and is not.   I'm surprised Luee would call her a
communist.  Especially since she advocated for LESS governmental support for a corporation. 

I don't know why you are surprised.

And who would you trust to create that civics curriculum?

The ghost of Howard Zinn.

Per who?   Observers at polling centers?   The livestream cameras installed around the cointry?   Auditors? 

In any case, how is a late vote fraudulent?  Say a procrastinator drops it in a box last Tuesday, the besieged postal service fails to postmark it until the 4th.  Does that mean the voter was faking his intentions?  Pfft.   

Again,  evidence of real fraud?   I'll wait.   Or you can man up and admit Trump lost.   Up to you.

RIP Alex Trebek

He was a really nice guy who told me if I was younger I would have had a better chance on the buzzer when I competed against Ken Jennings who was like 29 and freakishly fast.
I was so busy trying to buzz in first that when I finally did it was because he didn’t know the answer and neither did the other player, a woman named Marielle or something.

Hard to believe we lose Connery and Trebek so close together.

[barton]

Oh god am so sorry to hear that.   What a mensch.   And man he really did glorious battle with his illness.   Went out like a champ.   My uncles died too early in my life,  and Alex,  who resembled one of them,  was like a good sub for a while,  always there at 6pm daily with his gracious and kind presence.  Glad you could meet him.

And I was still playing the Dr No theme over and over on the piano.   Now I switch to the Jeopardy!  jingle.  My spouse will go crazy.

A depressing read, but not one that tells us much we did not already know - or some of us, at least.

By the time I reached the part about gallows and drawing/quartering, I had to conclude this came from an angry drunk.   

Some people,  when they drink,  you need to take car keys AND smartphone.

I’d hate to get pulled over in that jurisdiction

Real Clear Politics has Biden at 259 EV's.
They haven't called PA or AZ or GA yet.
The only news org I'm aware that hasn't called the race.

RCP tries to hide it, but they are distinctly right leaning.
Last year it came out they they ran a bunch of right-wing websites.
They also like to pretend the extreme right and the left are equivalents.

They're also the only news org I've seen which has called the NC senate race and so hey have the Senate 49:48 for the GOP.

I've been pointing out their right-leaning bias for months. Kiid's been trying to pretend it doesn't exist.

I think that they are just right on Tillis, for all that I would that it were otherwise. The number of ballots left means they would have to break more than 2 to 1 for Cunningham and that would be beyond what I expect.

But I would love for them to be wrong! And it still might break enough to go into Biden's column, at least...
