Thanks for the sorely needed perspective, Stinky.

We can't buy into trump's narrative. The votes take time to count, and he's made sure some of them are taking longer than they should, but every vote must be counted. trump isn't the only one with attorneys: Biden has hundreds and they are busy working for all of us as we speak.

Deadlines for receiving mail-in ballots and continued counting of absentee/mail-in ballots stretch well into November for some states. The deadline for selecting electors isn't until December.

We'd all love to rush to knowing the count right now, but that is exactly what donnie wants too. Make him wait.

If you find yourself asking about who is ahead, how a state is doing: HERE YOU GO!

Pick your poison, and go look for yourself. Bring back news!

Thank you!

There have been some updates

It's no accident this is happening all over the country in such a coordinated fashion.

It's because these terrorists are free to communicate with one another and organize themselves on social media, most likely on Facebook. At this very moment, they are still doing so, and Zuckerberg isn't looking for it (though he doubtless has some notion about what's going on) and there's little chance he'll do a thing about it.

Has anyone in the media bothered to suss this out and say a thing? Screw the local po-po, where is the FBI? They're 'looking into' the bus incident, but otherwise...

:chirp:

The flag racks are ridiculous and unsafe.

They are distracting and block the vision of the driver and others around them, could turn into deadly spears if shaken loose, and really should be outlawed if they aren't already illegal. That would cut down a lot of the intimidation factor, making it much less fun to drive around showing off and acting like idiots.

Don't get me started on covered license plates...

Here's the full list for the curious:

I know, I was hoping people had a little more to say.

Maybe the daytime crowd will.

My take is that while both Democrats and Repubs read Moody's and the Economist, the Repub crowd tend to be more old guard conservatives. There are fewer wild-eyed, do or die trump fans in the readership, especially as age goes up. I could be wrong, but that's my impression. These are people who are not so "rah-rah! my team!" that they are likely to vote against their own economic interests so blatantly as to vote for trump again. On the other hand, as old guard conservatives they are not necessarily likely to vote for Biden either. Quite a few among them may quietly skip voting for either presidential candidate, but will perhaps bother to show up to vote Repub down ticket depending on the races in their area. It's going to be interesting to see how much of that occurs as the final vote count shakes out.

As for the data, I hope Moody's is right, or even cautious, about their forecast for the economy under Biden. We could all use good news on that front.

Found the report and an article with a little more info, since Dean didn't leave a link:

I haven't had enough coffee to read the report yet - it's dense with info - but the article was a breath of fresh air.

Me too.

Stacey Abrams is amazing. She's been doing great things in this state, things that really needed to get done and no one else was doing them. She's going to be in Washington one way or another one day, but I hope she sticks around a little longer in GA before that day comes.

Exactly.

They're still passing his little loyalty tests, aren't they?

It's not accidental when things like this happen. donnie is having fun distracting himself from his utter loserdom by making others miserable. It's what he does. They know this. We all know this. The question is whether the media wants to continue to be his little chew toy. Sadly, we all know the answer to that too.

I've been reading along on Twitter

One man nearly hit by a car; he jumped on the hood to get the car to stop rather than be run down. Minor injuries, and he walked away. A woman was maced by a passing truck for no real reason. People started yanking the flags off as the trucks go by. This does not go over well. One trumper pulled a gun over losing a flag and was shouted down until he holstered and left. Another (presumable trumper) fired shots but did not hit anyone. A bullet hole was found in a nearby vehicle. Police didn't show up until the shots were reported. By then most of the trucks had gone through and didn't come back. All of the trumpers claiming that they had every right to drive where they like are not mentioning that they went to a specific spot on purpose, one they knew would be upsetting to the people there.
