If they were to invoke the 25th right now, Trumpists would have an argument (a faulty one, but an argument nonetheless) that Pence would be ineligible to count the votes and Trump magically is still President!

They could just pick a different Senator, right? There was a weird thing earlier in the week where Grassley tweeted that he was going to do the count and then backed off of it like 5 minutes later

Something that'd be really disturbing to see would be those poll numbers for just current police officers.

More seriously, I basically don't watch TV news at all anymore, but I've watched like 6 hours of ABC and NBC today, and I've heard a bunch of vague references to "divisions within the country," but I'm not sure if I've heard the term QAnon mentioned once, and it just feels like so many people in prominent positions still don't really grasp the actual nature of the problem

Ah shit, hate to see it

Just logged on, anything big in the news today?

Just absolutely zero charisma

If he avoids a recount, hopefully he gets seated relatively quickly, although I'm sure they'll invent some pretext to delay it, like what happened in Pennsylvania today.

Man, we're not gonna get a utopian society out of this, but there's so many things like this that it does solve.

Don't panic about this CNN thing that's out there saying that there may be fewer DeKalb votes

Polls are good again

Meanwhile, as the GOP loses hold on the Senate, Trump has put out a statement declaring that, contrary to reports, he is NOT OWNED, and dated it as "January 5, 2020"

Trumpism doesn't work without Trump. If Trump isn't on the ballot, Republicans don't care. It's not like the GOP has an actual policy platform or anything.

Also, "the last election was rigged and nothing has changed but vote in the next election anyway" is maybe not a great message for turnout

I am dumb but why is Trump in the running?

I think they're just using Trump's numbers as a baseline since there were other candidates in the Senate race in November so it's messier to use those to compare.

But then we get Senate Majority Leader Chuck the Schmuck.

If they pull this off, that's a tomorrow problem. Mitch will still be fuckin' miserable and I can still enjoy it.

Just gimme this one thing, universe. Just let me see Mitch's dumb face when he has to give up the senate gavel. It can be all Hell World after that.
