I agree with Iggy, and said so when I posted Carice's article. The article is, as usual, very good. The conclusion on how much time is debatable. Preference cascades (which in reality are almost always depreference cascades) sometimes happen very rapidly. This looks to be one of those times.

Got kind of boring on here, didn't it?

Good. I hope she wins. She was a favorite of Democrats in Alaska before being nominated for VP. Then the Democrats and their lackeys slimed her. Maybe they can make her Speaker. That would be a load of fun.

Clarice, I see no reason to believe the people at the links you provide, or any information from this invasion. All sides are issuing propaganda as news. After it's over, we might be able to get a glimpse of what really happened, but we will still have to search hard, with bullshit meters finely tuned.

I still stop by here once in a while. Not a lot of activity on here, but still worth coming back for a few of the long time commenters, such as Clarice, Iggy, and others.

Thank you, TM, for the new thread.

Well, would you look at that. TM found something so far left that he couldn't support it.

Sorry about your mother, Clarice. Good that she lived to a ripe old age, though.

This place used to be hopping. Kind of deserted now. That's too bad. It was a great blog just a few years ago.

The article doesn't seem to fit well with the numbers from New York City: "The number of black residents in New York City who have not been vaccinated is drastically disproportionate to other racial groups. More than 70% of black people in New York City aged 18 to 44 have not gotten the injection". I guess that 70% of black people in New York City are all Trump voters.

A very convenient way to get rid of him without having to go through all that nasty "Granny Killer" stuff.

You vote for the part you like, and then I'll cram the rest up your rear.

I stop by from time to time now (used to be here a few times per day) and I'm glad I did. Excellent rant, Iggy!

I thought I might come back and have a look at what's going on at JOM again. Oops! Commenters are still great, but the host seems to have gone round the bend. I guess I'll wait a few more months and see if he comes to his senses.

Jim Eagle, I have no problem getting to Ace of Spades HQ at https://ace.mu.nu/

Asians have to see themselves as a victim group, or, horror of horrors, they might continue leaving for the Republican Party.

Hello? Hello! Anyone out there?

I'm going to tune in to the impeachment trial later to see if it is really being run by Australian marsupials.

Very sad news. RIP, DrJ.

Porch, if the electoral vote isn't accepted, the vote for President goes to the House. For this vote, each state gets one vote. The individual representatives don't vote individually. There will be 50 votes, one from each state. More than 25 states have majority Republican delegations.

So Grassley could pull the "count all of them" trick instead of Pence? Cool!

Thanks, Mel. Looks like my plan would work, since they seem to be accepting both sets of electors from the contested 7 states. I guess they intend to sort them out and deny the Republican ones, but Pence should have quite a bit of control of that process.

Mel, what rule change is that? I must have missed that.

Another Bob, I don't think they will get away with it. I think the most likely result will be to have that count refused by the House and the Senate. That should throw it into the House, where there is one vote per state, not one vote per representative. Trump wins. And in the Senate, where they would vote for VP, even if the Republicans lose both Georgia seats, the vote would likely come to a tie, where Pence would vote to break the tie, and remain VP.
