How on earth is your vote anonymous if they can call you to come and show ID to validate it? -- nm - Andie Nov 6, 14:15 1
- They know who, not how. The "curing" is fixing secrecy envelopes or signatures, not ambiguous markings on the ballot itself. -- nm - 🦃 TWuG 🚀 Nov 6, 14:17

I wonder if there's going to be any money poured into Georgia politics over the next 2 months. -- nm - Dano Nov 6, 13:26 4
- i'm guessing a lot less since both senate seats won't go to a run-off, but still that one seat will probably get a lot of national investment. -- nm - colin 🍆 Nov 6, 13:28 1
  - Perdue is under 50% now. They're both going to a runoff. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 13:36

- ha! I'll look forward to Spawn's take on this. -- nm - mud Nov 6, 14:03
- Who should have been Iron Man? - Beryllium Nov 6, 13:51 6
  - If elon was to be there then he fits iron man, greta should have been black widow -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 6, 13:53 3
    - He shouldn't have been there, I'm saying. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 13:58 2

- Amusing ... but someone seems to have a misunderstanding of Musk (and Connery, perhaps) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 13:19 5
  - Yeah, those were the two that made me go "huh?" -- nm - mara Nov 6, 13:20 4
    - It was the easy Iron Man grab for Musk, but he'd never be an Avenger. He's, at best, one of those characters who is ambiguous in motivations. -- nm - 🦃 TWuG 🚀 Nov 6, 13:23 3
      - Hell, the avengers had the same issues with Tony stark -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 6, 13:57 1
        
        Yeah, but Tony Stark wouldn't have been a guest on Ultron's spotify show -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 14:08

A few years ago we tried a burger place downtown and it was probably the best burger I’ve ever had. Tonight this place is all I can think about. - kelly Nov 6, 13:06 9
- Hold on, are they charging $50 a shot for some of those bourbons? -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 13:09 3
  - And not even any Pappy on the list. -- nm - znufrii Nov 6, 13:29
  - The place is like eight feet wide. They can charge whatever they want. - David Nov 6, 13:13
  - Yeah, some bottles on the resale, secondary market can go for 5k a bottle -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 6, 13:13
- wow, the Hurt Locker looks good -- nm - prayformojo Nov 6, 13:09 1
  - I had the Bernie before and it was soooo good. -- nm - kelly Nov 6, 13:12

  - Kelly = the Stacey Abrams of dinner -- nm - con_carne Nov 6, 13:13
- Burger-flavored burger! Yes, it's the absolute best! -- nm - David Nov 6, 13:07
Heh. "Took to the woods" -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 6, 13:02 15
- Yeah, I think that's unfair to both Gore and Clinton. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 13:05 14
  - It is. They did what you're supposed to do, and disappear. It's called being a gracious loser. Abrams was operating on a different stage. -- nm - rollo Nov 6, 14:17
  - did i somehow miss Clinton being heavily involved in democrat campaigns? -- nm - colin 🍆 Nov 6, 13:10 9
    - She did a lot of private zoom events that raised millions of dollars for Biden. They thought she would hurt the effort by campaigning openly and she - jnine Nov 6, 13:15
    - You lose a Presidential race, you are basically done as a forward facing person. McCain never lost his day job - Will Hunting Nov 6, 13:14 1
      - i don't disagree.. and i'm admittedly not as up to speed on the race and aftermath. i wasn't in the country and didn't follow the race at all. -- nm - colin 🍆 Nov 6, 13:16
    - No, that's not the unfairness. What's unfair is criticizing her for keeping a low profile when much of what was said to her was basically - mara Nov 6, 13:12 3
      - Corrupt Hillary says the single most corrupt administration in history -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 6, 13:41
      - Also given the 2020 results, the narrative she was a uniquely unlikeable candidate needs to be reconsidered (by those who buy into it anyway) -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 13:27
      - yep. Hilary criticism has been a pet peeve of mine for years. #stolenpresidency -- nm - mud Nov 6, 13:16
    - She worked with grassroots orgs -- (link) - Reagen Nov 6, 13:11 1
      - ah, i stand corrected. -- nm - colin 🍆 Nov 6, 13:12
  - But Abrams deserves every ounce of praise she gets. Meanwhile, Andrew Gillum only embarrassed himself. -- nm - David Nov 6, 13:07 2
    - Indeed. this is pretty indicative of where we are now, though. It's not enough to praise someone and hold them up... - Johnny Lawrence Nov 6, 13:10 1
      - Hillary was sad for a week because she got screwed and went for a hike. How dare she! -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 13:12
nice vid: -- (link) - mud Nov 6, 12:55
CNN says White House staff is panicking as it sinks in Trump will probably lose. Why are they so surprised? Did they have their own polling that -- (edited) - jnine Nov 6, 12:55 6
- Because he always seems to luck into something regardless -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 13:15 2
  - Luck? try bully and lie his way into EVERYTHING -- nm - Epiphany Nov 6, 13:22 1
    - And he came *this* close to winning, we're in a handful of votes, a few assholes who still wouldn't vote per county from either way in 5 states -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 6, 13:50
- I imagine there was a lot of “it’s the same situation as 2016,” going around. -- nm - mafic Nov 6, 13:02
- His crowds at his superspreader events (I mean rallies) were much bigger than Biden's. -- nm - Dano Nov 6, 13:02 1
  - Because they didn't care there's a pandemic. -- nm - jnine Nov 6, 13:10
I'm halfway through series 11 of New Tricks from the BBC and just realized that Denis Lawson played Wedge Antilles. - 🦃 TWuG 🚀 Nov 6, 12:51 1

Apparently last night's episode of the Bachelorette was bonkers. In sum (spoilers, duh!) - Mop Nov 6, 12:48 1
- "Romantic music swells, and they furiously make out." Also, what the hell is a Fantasy Suite date. Because that sounds like porn. -- nm - David Nov 6, 13:11
"1 for Biden, 2 for Biden. Want me to do it again?" "No." "Well I do. 1 for Biden, 2 for Biden." -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 12:44 1
- STOP THE COUNT!!! -- nm - David Nov 6, 12:47
so obviously I don't watch the news in real life so this is unfamiliar to me -- are news anchors on ABC and CBS always so derisive of trump - amanda jeans Nov 6, 12:42 12
- I think it's the effect of what's happened. I mean they fact checked and pointed out issues, but I think with the attempts to undermine democracy - pmb Nov 6, 13:05 1
  - I took it as an editorial decision to have clarity around the election. We'll see if they go back to their old ways soon. -- nm - con_carne Nov 6, 13:25
- "always" = in the last 5-10 days, yes. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 6, 12:47
- New. CNN is going all in. -- nm - jnine Nov 6, 12:46 1
  - Although CNN has been pointing out that he's lying when he speaks since the convention. -- nm - jnine Nov 6, 12:59
- This is new, afaict. -- nm* - znufrii Nov 6, 12:43 6
  - a lot of them have been taking less and less crap from trump administration officials, but have not seen a lot of stuff directly bashing trump. -- nm - colin 🍆 Nov 6, 12:45 5
    - CBS has been shifting stories from "Trump said this" to "Trump said this untrue thing." And I think his presser today was not covered live by the - con_carne Nov 6, 12:52
    - The Colbert thing even seems somewhat disingenuous to me. - JaxSean Nov 6, 12:49 3
      - Have you not been watching him? He's been merciless in his criticism of Trump from the time Trump launched his bid. -- nm - 🦃 TWuG 🚀 Nov 6, 12:53
      - He's reacting to the end, rather than the middle. -- nm - Max Nov 6, 12:51 1
        
        and I don't get that at all. SM is in the same spot - he's the President, why would he do this? I'm not shocked at all. - Epiphany Nov 6, 13:27
