That's what I said.
All the idiots sitting outside of ballot counting facilities screaming about delays just need to sit down and shut the fuck up. The delays are caused by their boi
Source? Thx.Christ Almighty. Biden down by 12k-ish with 48k left in heavy blue GA districts.
Also, WTF is going on in Nevada? You mean to tell me a state where one of the main industries is tourist based, machine enabled gambling, can't count with a machine? Someone send some folks from the gaming commission over to the state clerks office and get that shit done already.

No, definitely don't do that. You don't want the gaming comission anywhere near a ballot.
Shit's locked down. Hard. That's why they're only doing daily updates. If the gaming industry and stupid movies have done anything in nevada, it's developed security.
I can honestly say that I have no friends that are Trump supporters. But I have always been pretty selective with whom I am willing to spend my time with. I have never had to filter out someone for being a trump supporter, but to be honest the people who tend to be trump supporters have never been the types of people I want to have anything to do with. My interactions with people are rarely political but funny enough I can usually guess someone's political leanings from their personality. I have been surprised when I hear that certain people are not Trump supporters, but never the other way around.
I can look back to the circle of people I spent time with in college and high school and other jobs, people who I still have some connection to. There are Trumpers from back in the day, but they were always people I honestly never liked.
I do have a number of right leaning and republican friends, they have thankfully and openly rejected Trump. One college friend who is politically active and sits on his local town board has considered becoming an independant. He thinks that he has been in office long enough that his name will carry enough weight that he doesn't need the party.
That all being said there is one exception, my father and stepmother. Growing up close enough to NYC we were always exposed to Trump in the news. My dad hated him. During the 2016 primaries he hated him, but I know he voted for him and once president supported him. Dad is a republican no matter what kind of guy. He wasn't always like that but when he re-married, he married into a family of staunch republicans and liked the comradarie. My stepmother is once of the nicest and sweetest people I have ever met, she never talks politics and I always wonder where she landed. Well recently while talking to my sister in law she said that my step mother has a very very right wing views, especially around LGBT and race. It would seem that she doesn't think it is appropriate for a lady to talk politics with men, but she will with my step sister.

Agree that ain't nobody want that... just imagine the rally cries of FRAUD! to come from the Trumpster crowd if an industry with a stigma of shady practices (regardless of actual practices) were to "help count the vote" ?
this.
correct. and i just saw that there about half a million votes in PA still to be counted.
Indoctrination is a hell of a drug
trumps lead in PA is now under 100k
...that Kushner line
"the fuckin ghost of john mccain bit you right in your fat fuckin ass"...that Kushner line
From 2016, but still relevant.
So how do you reconcile the fact that some of those friends engaging in spirited debates voted for Trump? They may not have been "Trump supporters" but they ultimately voted toward that end. How do you draw the line that says on one side you get cut from my life vs the side that says you can stay despite our differences? I suspect it is likely similar to the definition of pornography, being that "I know it when I see it."Because of where I live, a lot of my neighbors and friends tend to lean conservative, or have past military careers. Many a "spirited" debate has taken place either at my dining room table or in my kitchen regarding politics. All these people remain friends. That is solely because of the fact, that no matter how much we disagree on many, many, subjects, they are still loved and cherished in this house. I appreciate an opposing view, and no matter if they are wrong, and they are,they have proven over time to be good and true people who look beyond our difference and equally value us as people and friends too.
No Trump supporter will ever step foot in my house. No more than anyone wearing a swastika armband or wearing a klan hood would cross my threshold. The differences I have with the people mentioned above are, as P.J. O'Rourke said about Hillary WAY back in 2016, and I paraphrase, "are within the realm of correctable error.". But Trumpism? That is a bridge too far. Don't feel bad about cutting those people from your life. Feel good about it. Ask yourself, how welcome is Nazi wheel chair guy in your house? Apply the same rule to anyone willing to admit to being a trump supporter. There is no difference.
None.
It's amusing that these fucking morans don't apparently realize that you can't put up shit like that, then "take it back" (delete it) when you realize that you *are* a fucking moran but don't actually want everyone to know.
Their mothers should have told them anything they type "into the internet" is gonna be permanent.

Guess what I do. I live in red ass South Carolina, in a red ass county, and I sign up blue collar Trump supporters
all day getting Obamacare. Oh the stories I could tell....
I had no idea John Fetterman existed before this. So, thank you for that.

bwhahahaha, that was joe-pesci awesome.
I have worked in a several factories in red counties and interacted with a lot of red blue collar folks. So yeah.
same here (re: living in the south, although one state north of you); pretty dang sure two of my closest riding buddies and friends for over a decade are in that camp. i dunno...i just dunno.
other interesting observation. family friends growing up have 2 kids around my age. parents are liberal but both kids apparently staunch repubs now for some reason. the older one apparently works for deutschebank in boston and is one of the very few remaining employees there. wonder how the whole deutsche thing is gonna go if/when drumpf loses...
also, i heart fetterman
