- Didn't FB buy WhatsApp? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 7, 06:13 4
  - ooooo-weeeee, WhatsApp with that? -- nm - crash davis Jan 7, 06:36
  - Yes but they claimed to keep the data separate to get approval for the deal. They have been purposely integrating so they don’t get broken up. -- nm - spamlet Jan 7, 06:35

- Does this help? -- (link) - mara Jan 7, 05:55
- I don't really understand your question, but it's probably at least somewhat different in each state. Is he referring to signature-matching? -- nm - mara Jan 7, 05:55 5
  - my response is this make sense? he;s saying they throw the outer envelope away and then it is all about fraud - Beaker Jan 7, 05:56 4
    - Ah, that might be the naked ballot issue. -- (link) - mara Jan 7, 05:59 3
      - I *believe* PA says they prevented an excess of naked ballots; Trumpers say they didn't and are counting them illegally. Maybe? -- (link) - mara Jan 7, 06:02 1

I don't think Trump can tweet yet. Twitter confirms the tweets were deleted but won't say when. -- (link) - mara Jan 7, 05:47 2
- I can honestly see trump sitting there wordsmithing vague calls to insurrection via tweet and then being like "I was talking about a car!" or whatever -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 7, 05:51 1
  - I could see that! Although he's not exactly a skilled wordsmith. Another violation might get him permanently banned, so yeah. -- nm - mara Jan 7, 05:57

- I always think that’s a made up Seinfeld name. -- nm - mafic Jan 7, 05:30

Krusty: when I lived in Switzerland in 1990 we had one English channel: Eurosport. I watched a lot of random sporting events. Bubka dominated. - mafic Jan 6, 22:33 2
- Interesting, both that you lived in Switzerland and that you remember him so well. What I read about him was impressive. - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 6, 22:39 1

What is she doing? They just said the Senate is ready. Let's end this long day and get this vote done. -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 6, 22:30 4
- If you mean Pelosi, I'm not sure she can unilaterally shut down the House debate even though the House vote is irrelevant now. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 22:33 3
  - I meant the democrat that rose to speak right after the announcement. I was hoping they'd move on and get this done at a more reasonable speed. - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 6, 22:35 2
