Tbh the world being deprived of any more PiL gigs is a small blessing

The Democrat establishment isn’t fussed about the Supreme Court anyway, despite any protestations they make on the surface, all they care about is that it’s corporate-friendly (which it was even prior to Trump), and if Biden wins the court will just be an additional handy excuse for them not to do anything progressive

Who is this rhetoric aimed at? Do most people in America have warm fuzzy memories of all the prosperity that has happened since 2008?

Very WWE voice “Oh my god it isn’t, it is…KANYE WEST”

In terms of technique Kanye’s never had the best flow but this is just ridiculous

I’m sure we’re all eager to read Andrew Cuomo’s new book out today!

All part of the drive for Trump to win the election in the Supreme Court in the same way Bush beat Gore in 2000 thanks to the Supreme Court ruling a bunch of Florida votes as inadmissable

I’ve been saying this might be the method for a while now and I always knew that Kavanaugh was involved in that case at the time, arguing Bush’s corner to the Supreme Court, but I only found out yesterday that not only was Trump’s first pick Gorsuch part of that case but also the new SCOTUS nomination Amy Barret Coney was part of the legal team involved in that case too

absolute stitch up

Amy Coney Barrett*

also, not surprising it’s California with a whopping 55 electoral college seats at stake in a state that has voted Dems every election since 1992 but with one exception was Republican from 1952 until 1992

If polls are accurate (big if of course) then they’ll find it difficult to challenge any election results because Biden will have won by a comfortable margin

in theory they’ll find it difficult

in practice they are likely to have a 6-3 SCOTUS majority by then and you can expect a hell of a lot of intimidation at the polls as well as a huge amount of voter suppression - that we’re already seeing

notice where the lines are ?

In predominantly white neighbourhoods I was seeing reports of 8-15 minutes waiting time

however, this might mean something positive - that voters are determined and mobilised to vote against Trump. We’ll see

and don’t forget that in 2013 the SCOTUS struck down a significant section of the Voting Rights Act making in practically unenforceable

I mean, I hope I’m completely wrong with the outcome but the Republicans ARE gearing up to protect their Presidency in the Supreme Court and even if they fail a 6-3 SCOTUS should not in any way be underestimated in terms of bringing misery to all but the richest, whitest, heteronormative, anti-feminist, anti-immigrant, homophobic & transphobic citizens of the US, even if the Dems are in office

Voter suppression in Georgia is horrific,. aimed of course at black voters, to the degree that I think the UN classed the State as undemocratic. But they have early voting and people have been out waiting for 10+ hours from the first day. If they do that from now until election day, which people seem prepared to do, the votes may actually count (although who knows what else they will do).

I actually think the voter suppression in Georgia has been so extreme that there is a possibility the mobilisation may get a surprise Biden victory. Probably wishful thinking but hey.

Why does it take that long? I’m not talking about people being held up on purpose but, why does it take so long to vote I’ve never even queued to vote beyond probably 2 people in front of me.

removal of polling booths means that 1 voting station has to serve huge areas with a big population

add to that voter suppression has meant that some states/wards require photo ID and other verification processes

plus now social distancing measures & sanitation measures on top

but yeah, pisstake mainly
