The Republicans look to be in a very precarious position right now. They’ve gone all in on Trump for almost seven years. Trump all by himself drove to the polls millions of people who wouldn’t normally vote. They voted because he was on the ticket; they’ll avoid voting if he’s not. Once he leaves, Republicans probably won’t be able to bank on those voters anymore. I’m not talking about very conservative voters who will simply shift to DeSantis—that’s going to happen. I’m talking about the red hat wackaloons who spend all day on the Stormfront website and spout Qonsense on Truth Social and dress up for militia “practice” and agitate for book burnings at the local grade school and all that. There are a few million of those, and they’ll likely leave the electorate altogether. They also had gone all in on the #1 all-time issue for the religious right, No Abortion, Nosirree. After the mass repudiation of this idea at the polls, how can Republicans effectively continue pushing the notion of complete abortion bans and still expect to win elections? Even Kentucky voted against the ability of their government to strip the right to abortion from its citizens. Kentucky, for cry eye! BUT, if they ignore the abortion issue altogether, or even fail to pay homage to the idea that they might implement nothing short of a complete ban, they may have to kiss millions of evangelical votes buh-bye, too. But also, if they continue to spout insane conspiracy ideas and push to strip people of the freedom to abortions, and even more freedoms beyond that, they will continue to lose the conservative middle who want nothing to do with any of that garbage. So at this moment, anyway, it looks like damned if they do and damned if they don’t. 😁3 points

If you are a Star Wars fan then you probably are watching Andor. If you are a casual fan.... you need to watch. I think it's hands down the best SW TV series and the best thing they've done overall in a very long time.2 points

Apparently there is enough vote still remaining near Atlanta to get Warnock to 50% and avoid the runoff.1 point

In part due to their relative electoral success on Tuesday, particularly in Gov races, I am actually encouraged and feel that they have some compelling candidates to go along with Harris (who I assume would be the front runner). Whitmer, Shapiro, Jared Polis (who basically was the Ron DeSantis of Colorado on Tuesday) all would be strong candidates. And honestly, I'd prefer that they start elevating Governors to run in these elections.... having executive experience matters. The difficulty with the Democratic Party, as always, is who can turn out the largest percentage part of the base, which is African Americans... it's a big piece of why Biden won the nomination in 2020 and anyone wishing to succeed him will need to make inroads with that community.1 point

Harris I hope will be heartless when it comes to trades and releases. Daz and Perez were kept around in a desperate attempt to move the JV trade from an F- to a solid F.1 point

Frisch should hire some Bush v Gore attorneys who have experience with this. Attorneys John Roberts, Amy Comey Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh all help Bush stop any recount. Are they busy these days?1 point

So with Kamala it would really be 51..........If Warnock wins the runoff (can't believe it came to this) it could maybe get to the point where it's Fuck You, Joe Manchin.1 point

I'm on the I don't want Biden to run again train, but I think he's probably going to at this point.1 point

He said Blue Tsunami....................He was off on that, but yes, Michael is more accurate than most. If it was a true Blue Tsunami we'd have the house, senate and white house and we might only end up with the white house, but so narrowly. Midterms are supposed to be big swells for the other party. The Sodomobile.........Wow, there's a memory. Dave Grohl & The Foo Fighters have kind of taken that idea and if they know the Westboro nutjobs are going to be around one of their gigs they have rented a big flatbed and driven around playing songs and mocking them, drowning them out by playing Bee Gees covers, inspired by The Awful Truth. One night in 1996 I was on the air, the 7pm - 12am shift at The Edge in Albuquerque and I am the only one at the building at that point and the fax machine starts going off and it just keeps going and going and going and it's page after page after page of just awful anti-gay stuff........sent from Westboro. It was about 60 pages, maybe more and they were coming over the course of 2 hours until I just unplugged the machine. I left a note with the station owner explaining why I unplugged it. We actually had paper recycling so I threw it all in the bin. Our Sales Manager Ron was Gay. Great guy, good boss to the sales crew and I didn't want him to see it, but he did see it because the next morning when they plugged the fax machine back in more started coming. I didn't know how to cancel it. We should have sued them over the amount of paper wasted. Sick fuckers.1 point

I know we are talking avoid indictments, but in 2016 both candidates were under fbi investigation during the race. I don't recall anyone every saying Hillary couldn't be indicted but she was a Democrat and a woman so the law is probably different for her1 point

MCS might appreciate this. The intersection of Telegraph and Van Born is a disaster because of Telegraph construction. The light going west is like 4 seconds green. Always a backup. On Sunday there was a longer backup than normal as they were laying blacktop and this typical Trumpy pickup truck with flags/decals tried to pull out then cut back in via the left hand turn lane. I squeezed ahead of him as he tried to get in front of me and I yelled out a "Let's Go Brandon" at him. He flipped me off and honked repeatedly.1 point

Just heard this little nugget: An average trip around the bases after hitting a home run is 26 seconds. Albert Pujols has spent over 5 hours of his life in a home run trot.1 point
