Ralph Nader is on Twitter. 84 years old apparently. Could have sworn he was still in his 70s.

Was reading about the Bush v Gore 5-4 decision in 2000. I have a bit more understanding of legal mumbo jumbo now than I did 18 years ago.
From what I understand, they ruled that no standard way could be established to do the recount, seeing as Florida has a multitude of different voting systems. So, therefore, the recount would have been unconstitutional under the equal protection clause.
The insanity of that ruling is that it essentially rules not only the recount, but all elections in Florida unconstitutional (and possibly the entire country, seeing as most states would have multiple systems).
So, a question for legal people on here: Could Gore have brought another case asking for the entire election to be thrown out (say, Gore v the United States), using the Bush v Gore ruling as a precedent? Indeed, could Trump do similar in 2020?

An interesting, but depressing, round-up of voter suppression ahead of the mid-terms:

He will not be impeached either as that would lead to the right revolting.

I haven't moved an inch from the notion that it's Sanders or Barbarism.

If RuPaul is for Medicare For All (hey, it rhymes!) then they've got a chance.
My belief in Sanders is he is the only person who unequivocally doesn't give a fuck about what the Clintons think about him and doesn't buy Third Way bullshit.

I've only been in this country 3 years. Sanders, I liked. He should now fuck off as quickly and quietly as possible, BUT, leaving his message like a fart in a spacesuit, for all humans to ponder.
Whilst the Republicans rape your* country.
*Sorry 'OUR'.

He's not even close to delivering his promises, and has controlled all the branches of government.

Does Trump think Greg Gianforte in Montana-at-large is in danger of losing? Or is he there because Gianforte beat up a reporter and lied about it?
In the Presidential election he got his swing campaigning right. Is Gianforte is in a swing district, things could be bad for the Republicans.

Tubbs: serious question. What do you gain from this?
I know a little more than fuck all, and I am struggling. Peeps like ... everyone else (ursus) who know a bit more, don't really need this shit to be rubbed in.
And, I know it's a forum where ideas are passed, but polls are not ideas. They are bets. I live in Las Vegas. I used to work in that sphere, and have a job offer relating to this, upcoming, depending on residency.
Sorry, it's frustrating here. If you want some lowdown local politics, read the online review-journal from here. It's unencumbered racism, with socio-political bollocks, and there is a particularly nice "Piers Morgan" alike who gets to vent his spleen on the readers page... as a "commentator".
Good luck.
Also, Google PAC.

Originally posted by Tubby Isaacs View PostI was positive there, man. Trump thinking Greg Gianforte might lose (if he does think that) is interesting. I'm interested in Greg Gianforte losing because he's literally a thug. I'm interested in Montana because Larry Sanders went there when he walked out on his show.

Does no-one remember ... the 8th of November?
If you know any person willing to vote, ask them to vote.
My husband didn't last time and 'we' won, here. This time, it's about 'him', and he is confused. He didn't fight his way through his stuff to get to here, and end up with a twat who is trying to keep him awake. He stopped caring. I am not allowed to own a taser.
If I can get him to vote, I will have moved the world a little. This is not going to happen. See Orange County. He is 'sorted'. He cannot see why .... he will outlast me, and he has to realise that when he became American, he got the right to vote, and all he wanted was a happy life.
Well, I am here to make sure that shit happens. But I don't get to vote.

Sorry, he doesn't understand that Social Security, and Medicare are under threat. He is 75, and wonderful. But, he fucking earned his life here. I haven't. I can't. He started to think "if you come into a room, and I am not looking good, you fuck off for a few hours."
I agree with him, but under no circumstances, is this cool.
Unfortunately, life goes on.
*Just so y'all know, my husband has agreed to die, before I will cause myself... consequences. THAT's love.
