The 2024 Circus

[WLJ]

That WH meeting between Trump and Biden looked like a couple of old buddies, and even Jill was apparently super nice to Trump.

Harris, Pelosi, Obama, et al must be fuming. 

Biden has been grinning from ear to ear since the election.
I seriously think he did what he could without making it too obvious to sabotage her election out of spite

[MechAg94]

I don't even believe the squirrel even bit anyone,which was the stated premise to whack it and test it. The raccoon was just collateral damage.

Just like every dog the BATFE shot was an attack dog that was comin' right for them.

Speaking of the bat boys can we now disband the ATF and transfer the responsibility of shooting dogs over to the DHS under Noem? Asking for a friend.

That's nice to hear but after the last time they had the whole ball to play with and accomplished next to nothing I am not setting my hopes very high at all.

ass. Press still showing 207-216.

More than a week has passed, and results are STILL incomplete in some places. This DOES NOT inspire confidence in the integrity of the election.

Calif was still accepting ballots up to yesterday. The entire West Coast (CA,OR,WA) is behind, with CA well in the back. I read an article this morning supporting CA for it because they are "making sure every vote counts".

Bullshit. They start early voting there like a month early. There is no reason that they can't require mail-in ballots to be post marked no later than five days prior to Election Day. If you can't fill out your ballot with a three week window, you are too stupid and lazy to deserve a vote.

I assume CA has official ballot drop boxes.  WA does (i used it a couple days before the election).  Rule should be postmarked not later that 4 or 5 days before election day (AND recieved by 8pm election day), or dropped in an official box by 8pm on election day.

Granted I'd prefer no mail in balloting except for legitimate absentee reasons.

Ideal would be in person voting, on election DAY, photo ID required, and a pad of indelible ink you have to dye a finger with upon voting.

Any chance the Trump administration will investigate Arizona, California, and other democracy-challenged parts of the country?

More thrashing of the NeverTrump:

Those who have been presenting themselves as the saviors of the Republican Party were willing to let a village idiot Democrat become the most powerful woman on Earth simply because their feelings were hurt. They have no more control over their emotions than the mentally unwell lunatics who are shaving their heads because Trump won the election.

Before this thread, and the political aspirations of Tim Walz & Ka-MAHL-uh Harris, fade into history, there is one last comment to be made on the Glorious Election of 2024. As we all know, Kamala Harris lost the electoral college, including all 7 swing states, the popular vote, and the opportunity to make judicial appointments, and her party was unable to take control of the House or keep the Senate. That means she lost, how? Holistically.

Holistically.

I concede the point.

[RocketMan]

I concede the point.

Why did you concede?  There are still votes being counted.  You could still win.

[Perd Hapley]

I concede that point as well. It's concessions all the way down.

[Brad Johnson]

It's concessions all the way down.

Concessions is on the first floor next to the restrooms.

I do not agree with that, and I never will.


So this thread began with some "news" about John Bolton running for the White House. Did any of you vote for him?

I think the dems are going to keep this thread alive for a long while longer

Case in point

    The Democrat Bucks County Commissioners just voted to count misdated and undated mail in ballots to try and help Bob Casey and one of them straight up says that she knows it's illegal but simply does not care.

BREAKING: Some Democrats are now saying AOC is the future of the party, hinting a potential 2028 Presidential run.

[Bogie]

The main idea we're going to be seeing from both sides of the aisle is...
 
"You need to send us money, because of that..."
 
I sort of wonder - has anyone seen any stories of Dem faithful who mortgaged houses, sold stuff off, or who otherwise ran themselves into bankruptcy so that Harris could blow that billion?

It is going to be a circus all next year whether Trump is able to accomplish anything or not.  I am not sure how to classify that.  D.C. Circus?

I wonder if they will go all in and toss out any Republican votes in that batch.  Sounds like election interference. 

[WLJ]

AOC actually seeing where the dems missed the target on a key part of the messaging or a case of a broken clock being right twice a day?
I mean she's not wrong here.
