The PA legislature says their electors will go for the national popular vote winner.
LOL, you ingesting stupid pills tonight?
What, you afraid he raided your stash?

Nah, for a rarity, he's got a valid point.

Everyone understood the PA legislature refers to the popular vote in PA,  right?   There was no actual news there beyond "PA follows the law again,  as it has for a couple centuries... "   They didn't suddenly decide to activate an interstate compact.

I misunderstood at first. Hence my comment about Ward's having a point for a change.

Instead, the PA news was 'merely' that they were not going to follow the push from some for them to appoint GOP electors instead of Biden electors.

The DJIA is looking at a 1500+ futures increase, before the bell, based on Pfizer's preliminary take on their vaccine's being 90% effective/safe.

Just imagine where it would be had the DJIA not removed Pfizer from its roster a few months ago!

What's that?

Military votes are being challenged, after they voted legally in NV, following a transfer out of state.

SC hears args tomorrow on the ACA.   This is a huge thing for millions. 

I also misunderstood the PA electoral thing at first.   Glad they're not going to allow faithless electors.   The faithless option would mos def bring down the EC for good.

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.

Provide it. And choose credible sources. We'll wait.

So, you oppose unity?

You think that Biden was wrong when he said that "there are no blue states and no red states, there is only the United States"?

They hide their guilt quite well

What guilt? Explain why counting votes from legitimate voters leads to "guilt".

  "The Democrats will face significant backlash for this and as per usual, they’ve gone way too far,” said a former senior administration official. “Making a list of your political enemies and promising that they will get payback and people will go after them because they worked for a different political party is literally fascism.”

Though I'm with AOC on some policy positions, I think this is a mistake on her part.

Spent yesterday walking around Philly. It was a beautiful day, especially in Old City, where Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell remind us how this city has been fighting tyranny since 1776. They were both crowded with tourists, too.

Especially the Liberty Bell.

The city was calm, peaceful, and lit by a warm November sun, one more suited for June than this time of year. Everywhere quiet conversations took place regarding the election. And there was joy on some faces, and serenity on others, but what wasn't present was anger, or rage, or disappointment. And it felt wonderful.

I think it is who she is.

She needs to mature as a person and understand that a MODERATE won this election. Learn, AOC, learn.
