Instead of inviting this chaos questions, let’s assume that it won’t happen given these same Senators just signed off on Biden winning the state - Will Hunting Jan 8, 05:22 11
- I see your point, but I think this stuff is both interesting and worth being aware of. I like getting up in the morning and knowing on that day, - mara Jan 8, 05:28 6
  - Yeah -- nm - prayformojo Jan 8, 05:50
  - I think the fallout from Wednesday on leadership, Mitch et al, is that the stupid games are over. There’s politics in the office but the time to take - Will Hunting Jan 8, 05:42 1
    - Yup. Your political stunt has a body count (as pointed out by Chris Hayes - one that's higher than Benghazi's!). Stfu and legislate. -- nm - Reagen Jan 8, 06:26
  - This last four years has been a lot of diving into the footnotes. -- nm - Reagen Jan 8, 05:36 1
    - For example: it likely isn't going to come up this guy proposes somewhat convincingly that acting Secretaries count for the purposes of the 25th -- nm - Reagen Jan 8, 05:42
  - I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. - Strongbad Jan 8, 05:33
- This makes more sense. -- nm - mafic Jan 8, 05:24 3
  - Mitch’s entire warning about the protest was right warning, wrong magnitude of gravity - Will Hunting Jan 8, 05:27 2
    - This is what I was saying the other day. Texas would send another Republican back, easily, and you'd have to try to find someone else than Cruz. - Reagen Jan 8, 05:35 1
      - So would Missouri honestly. We’re not a swing state anymore. -- nm - spamlet Jan 8, 05:43
They’ll delay until after impeachment. -- nm - mafic Jan 8, 05:21 4
- Yup, Mitch won't make Schumer the Majority Leader any sooner than he has to. -- nm - mara Jan 8, 06:06
- Although if that could actually be the difference we're a lot further down the road than I would have expected - Reagen Jan 8, 05:43 2
  - it'll be more than 5 but so what. Make the bastards vote! -- nm - mud Jan 8, 05:50 1
    - Fully on board for that, I'm just not getting my hopes up. - Reagen Jan 8, 05:52
could of maybe bought this before the 6th. Now there is no way I can see it happening -- nm* - Beaker Jan 8, 05:21 1
- I think it depends on how Georgia handles the certification of those elections and how much pushback there is. -- nm - mara Jan 8, 05:22
The timeline for that process -- (link) - mara Jan 8, 05:19
