You realize that being a Grammar Nazi isn't very politically correct is it, Grammar Goebbels? Shaddap.

We're not talking about grammar, mate.

You clearly didn't understand the post you were replying to. FOX either made a stupid mistake or deliberately misled their viewers by conflating two completely different terms with the same acronym.
 
It stuns me whenever I see one of his rallies. The attendees must have a combined IQ in the double digits.
But look what happened when he went in front of a non self selected group of USA folk, boos and chants of lock him up. Don't be without hope!

It reminds me of a joke I heard years ago. A patient looks at his doctor's notes while he's out of the room, and starts yelling at him when he returns to the room. The doctor responds "First, you shouldn't be looking at my notes on your own. Second, it stands for Short of Breath."


Given his general health, we can probably describe Trump as SOB.
 
Trump Tweeted that there is "a lot of winning in Kentucky"

He's right, there is a new Democrat governor.

He hasn't mentioned Virginia where Democrats have won control of both house and senate in the state legislature

The Republican hasn't conceded yet, and it was mentioned in the 2019 election thread that there's a small chance of the Republican legislators actually deciding the winner.


He might mean there will be a lot of winning, if they do things right.

Well that will set a good precedent for the future, and ensure that the GOP is safely insulated from demographic issues.

Gerrymander the state legislature so that you get, say, 70% of the seats with 30% of the vote.

Contest the results of any statewide election (such as the Gubenatorial race) for unspecified reasons, no matter what the margin of victory (I wonder if Senatorial races could be similarly decided).

Allow the state legislature to appoint the winner.

As long as the gerrymander is good enough, a tiny proportion of the vote could continue to yield a majority in the state legislature which in turn would control redistricting (for state legislature and House gerrymandering) and allow the Governor (and others ?) to be appointed.

Genius ! It's not fair, but if it's legal then the GOP have found a way to stay in power.
 
Trump Tweeted

Stock Markets (all three) hit another ALL TIME & HISTORIC HIGH yesterday! You are sooo lucky to have me as your President (just kidding!). Spend your money well!

“Based on the things I’ve seen, the Democrats have no case, or a weak case, at best. I don’t think there are, or will be, well founded articles of Impeachment here.” Robert Wray, respected former prosecutor. It is a phony scam by the Do Nothing Dems!

Sondland is far more engaged with reality than anyone in the White House bubble, and far more comfortable with it, given that he's independently very wealthy. I'm sure he's got more than his money's worth of enjoyment out of his time in European high society, but he's no appetite for the downside that has emerged and wants out from under. He's hardly likely to think that he owes Trump any loyalty because of what he's already enjoyed. What does Trump have to offer him now? Blood, sweat, and tears. Exit stage left, in a cloud of dust and small pebbles ... :cool:

Doesn't seem to be going that way. Even when he admitted suggesting a quid pro quo was in effect, he said that he had merely presumed it to be so, not that he was told by anyone it was so. This gives Trump some deniability.

Mind, it could be the truth too.
 
A recount can be a double edged sword though. Its almost as likely to increase a majority as it is to decrease it or overturn it.
538 says


Some statewide races that have undergone recounts have far fewer votes than the closest states in the 2016 presidential race, but even in percentage terms, the average swing was 0.2 percentage points


Not clear if the .2 average swing is in state races or not, but it's probably close enough. The Kentucky race is a difference of .4%.
