This is part of what's wrong with this country...nothing really happens when an organization is found guilty of crimes: "The conviction on charges of tax fraud, a scheme to defraud, conspiracy and falsifying business records is hardly a death sentence for the Trump Organization. The maximum penalty it faces is $1.62 million, a rounding error for Mr. Trump, who typically notched hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue during his presidency."

I can definitely see Coach Beard, but have you watched Mythic Quest? The first person I thought of was Ian with his beard.

Form 500 LLCs, crime all you want, shield yourself from any meaningful liability or consequences. It’s the American Way.

We just stood in line for over an hour to vote. I think that’s the longest I’ve ever waited. Our area is pretty small. I would’ve voted early, but the polling place for early votes is kind of far and not at all convenient 🙄 I really hope Warnock gets elected again.

I'm watching MSNBC while the kids are playing a game and the Kornacki Cam when they do commercials is weird
Thanks to everyone that voted in GA for the runoff and for those that did phone/text banking, postcards, etc!

Two things are happening right now. 1. Tiny counties or rural counties with small populations are completing their counts quickly because they do t have a ton of votes to count. 2. Larger or more populous counties are reporting out early/mail ballot counts because the law allows them to have started counting these at 7 a.m.
Lots of numbers coming in but nothing that's definitive. The one thing I'm keeping in mind is that Walker needs to overperform his November numbers to win.

It sounds like at this point, it's just a wait to see that there's nothing hugely weird with the Atlanta-area Election Day vote.

I know Warnock has lots of Atlanta votes coming in but this is stressing me out.

I am here! Watching Futurama with MH instead of hate watching election returns roll in (also the kids were really awful for MH today so yeah). Appreciate y'all sharing insights and results.
We only had one dude today ask us if we were rigging everything and then scream "it's all a fraud" as he was walking out the door. Not even any Q idiots asking about the Dominion machines! So, you know, improvement? 😭

We should go back over the sequence of events from the 2020 results and make a timeline of GOP growing desperation, so we will know if we hit "Four Seasons Total Landscaping" level versus "Gabe Sterling shouty presser" level or, bless it, "Rudy dripping hair dye" level

I still cry laugh about it every time I see it. If there wasn't photographic proof, future historians would think it an urban legend.
