- this makes me consider watching -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 15:33
holdon holdon holdon, I need to say my point which is more profound than all of yours. -- nm - Van Nov 5, 15:22 4
- I swear to jeebus I'm siding with Rick more often than I am with him. -- nm* - Reagen Nov 5, 15:24 3
  - I almost posted this morning that although I'm probably against 95% of the things he's for, I actually think he's a pretty good commentator. -- nm - Dano Nov 5, 15:35
  - not on this one. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 15:30
  - not this time! -- nm - mud Nov 5, 15:25
Just a thought: Secretary of Education Susan Collins -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 15:17 23
- In Biden's cabinet? Fuck no! -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 15:19 10
  - totally worth it. -- nm - mud Nov 5, 15:21
  - (Maine's governor is a Dem) -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 15:20 2
    - can they pick her, then can her in like 6 months? -- nm - Beaker Nov 5, 15:22 1
      - Joe Manchin would probably Flake. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 15:25
  - Here's the thought (Collins and McConnel won't fall for it, but......) - ty97 Nov 5, 15:20 5
    - If he then fires her after the person is elected I'm fine with that. So, I guess it won't happen -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 15:22 4
      - Collins would never take the position, McConnell would never confirm her if she did -- nm - ty97 Nov 5, 15:31 3
        
        Confirmations are no longer necessary -- make her Acting. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 15:35 2
        
        Right? Don't we have multiple acting heads of departments? -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 15:36 1
        
        Yes -- nm - Pippy Nov 5, 15:43
- Doesn't she have more of a business background? Commerce? -- nm - mara Nov 5, 15:18 11
  - Toss like five folders on her desk. "Take your pick, Sue" -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 15:19 10
    - *cough* -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 5, 15:21 [youtube]
    - Why are you giving her a job in his administration? -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 15:21 7
      - so she retires as senator and is replaced with a dem. won't matter unless one of Georgia's seats swings though. -- nm - mafic Nov 5, 15:22 3
        
        It *might* matter. Romney or another GOP moderates *could* conceivably vote for rational legislation. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 15:25 2
        
        assuming Mitch doesn't go into full block mode. -- nm - mafic Nov 5, 15:55
        
        Only if McConnell lets it go to a vote. Spoilers - pmb Nov 5, 15:31
      - to get her out of the Senate -- nm - mara Nov 5, 15:22 2
        
        She wouldn't go for that but I see the idea now -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 15:25 1
        
        I'm mostly being funny. I agree it won't happen but it's funny to game it out. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 15:28
    - so if she takes it she is out of the Senate? -- nm - Beaker Nov 5, 15:20

  - He knows this thing is going to called soon imo and he is going to lay down his law -- nm - Jovian Nov 5, 15:22

  - ha! -- nm - mud Nov 5, 15:17

- really? -- nm - mud Nov 5, 15:14 2
  - of course he is. -- nm - Jovian Nov 5, 15:15 1
    - I hope it's recorded for posterity. It'll be historic! -- nm - mud Nov 5, 15:17

    - Now look back at PA on that map -- (edited) - ty97 Nov 5, 15:14
  - out by the allentown triangle circle that's gonna go biden, it has since 1884, but exit polls show traffic near pittsburgh -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 15:11
Right in the middle of his speech would be an awesome time for Philly to drop its ballots on us. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 15:04 3
- I would love the symbolism, wouldn't mind if they did it in 30 seconds instead. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 5, 15:05 1
  - Sure, sure> -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 15:07

- My gut says 0/2 - znufrii Nov 5, 15:01
- I'd say that Warnock is 50/50 against Loeffler, Ossoff a 33/67 dog against Purdue. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 14:57 13
  - I would have guessed the other way (assuming that Collins voters will turn to Loeffler). As I speculated on a prior board, it's all going to be about - pmb Nov 5, 15:00 12
    - Loeffler is a lightning rod. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 15:03
    - Curious if Trump stumps for them or leaves them out to dry b/c he's lost -- nm* - ty97 Nov 5, 15:01 10
      - LOL -- nm - mara Nov 5, 15:17
      - I can't see him doing any favors for any politicians after this week, though he might go on about how he got the winners their seats. -- nm* - Max Nov 5, 15:11
      - He'll sulk off because there's nothing in it for him. -- nm - spamlet Nov 5, 15:10
      - He didn't stump for people he needed *before* the election. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 15:04
      - Probably won't do much. -- nm - pmb Nov 5, 15:03 5
        
        I dunno, he seems to turn people out and if he frames it as 'revenge' on the Dems, that could be effective -- nm - ty97 Nov 5, 15:06 4
        
        It would mean centering someone other than himself. He is incapable of doing this. -- nm - 🦃 TWuG 🚀 Nov 5, 15:10 3
        
        Yes and no. He gets to have a rally with adoring fans and talk about himself most of the time while making the revenge about himself. -- nm - ty97 Nov 5, 15:15 1
        
        yup -- nm - Beaker Nov 5, 15:18
        
        Maybe it's just venting his frustration for his own purposes. -- nm - pmb Nov 5, 15:11
