If this speech is a sign of things to come it’s even worse than I thought, she is where charisma goes to die
I just walked past the TV with her smug smirking lying face talking about Joe the Uniter and Healer.
What a repulsive woman.

But that seems to be the mode nowadays
Seems like Trump has a chance in Arizona. I would love to see Cindy McCain's face if Trump did win Arizona.
Joe is going to unite us? Does that mean he’s conceded?

How many more high tech lynchings does Joe have planned?
If you are tired of pandemics and elections take a break and watch one of these shows on Netflix:
'"The Queen's Gambit" - I think someone mentioned this in the comments on here a few days ago. Goodness, was this a great show. Just 7 episodes but probably the best thing that has come from Netflix. My wife and I loved it. Thanks to whoever it was that recommended it.
"To the Lake" - It's about a pandemic. A bad pandemic. A group of acquaintances and family members - some of whom don't really like each other - set out from Moscow to take refuge in a shelter at a remote lake in the dead winter. Great story, good script, good acting. 8 episodes in Russian with English subtitles. Looks like there might be a second season. I hope so.
"Barbarians" - German-made Netflix production that tells the story of the Battle of Teutoborg Forest in 9 AD when Germanic tribes destroy three Roman legions. Set your Netflix app language to German and turn on English subtitles and the German barbarians will all be speaking German and all the Romans will be speaking Latin.
Wife and I have enjoyed all of these this week, nice respite from all the election madness.
Where’s Hunter?
I think the Biden rallies pushed him over the top.
Our opponents are not our enemies. The a quote from a Byrd’s song.
Leading scientists as transition advisors. That will be helpful.
A bottle of Scotch is equally useful in victory or defeat.
My wife gave your on listening to more Biden. My live blog is done. Back to Clemson and Notre Dame. Good night and thank you.

You haven't been reading the comments from Howard and Chuck and Inga and roesch, have you?
You’re all thinking what a craptastic speaker the septuagenarian Joe Biden is.
You’re not wrong. But that’s how bad Trump is. He lost to Biden.
Mountain Man @ 7:44: Thanks for the recommendations, these sound very interesting. We have been watching a lot of Turner Classic Movies. They do pretty well with a large but finite library, inventing various themes under which to present stuff by topic, star, director, era, etc. We've learned a lot and, more to the point, avoided a fatal over-saturation in political matters.
The Long Winter begins.
Anti1A won
Back in the Eocene, when I was a new but not young perfessional liberrian (thass how we say it 'roun' heah, heah?), through my years as the oldest remnant of the class of '76 to be found still wandering the place (the wandering ended in 2015 but I still go back for the library) I mused with my colleagues about the definition of knowledge, and concluded to my own satisfaction that the technology facilitates and even forces the redefinition of knowledge as: that which can be accessed only through the technology.
Other forms, their utility and cultural importance notwithstanding, will be deprecated and eventually dismissed, even as the supposed long memory of the almighty digital proves to be a myth and its susceptibility to manipulation and control by its operators will prove to be a real nightmare.
Somebody mentioned the weakness of laws against a determined state; Marx reminds us that states and laws both are weak against technology.

Old kook wasn't always wrong

If it was me- you're welcome. Our house is planning on a rewatch already...
“ But that’s how bad Trump is. He lost to Biden.”
Not my president. Resist.
Trump in losing 2020 received more votes than Obama in 2008 and 2012.

The Catholics are amped up about Biden quoting their famous eagle song in the speech tonight.
It’s fine. But I like my eagles red, white and blue:

Rory - Agree. Bernie Mac was the best of those 4. I recall watching him for the first time, at the Apollo, sometime around 1992.I will never forget his telling the audience "I ain't afraid of you mother fuckers". Pardon the language, but that was an exact quote.
If Biden is sworn in, we all know that Corn Pop will really be running the show.
@Chuck, let me know when the economy is back to the peak levels of Trump's 2019 economy.
"Where’s Hunter?"
Balls deep in his niece?
Oh wait, she's not fourteen anymore...
Oh, that's right. Chuck doesn't care about employment and wage gains for blacks and Hispanics. Just so he and country club Republicans can still get a tee time.
Great, 4 years if sniping and snarling at Harris's every word and deed in AA comments. I may not be long for the comments on political posts. But I am enjoying the whining about a stolen election.
"Not my president. Resist."
Not the President of my country, the United States of America.
Sunset on a lake, beautiful! A small fireball dropping in the lowest part of the horizon.
I see the three smoke stacks and wonder what industry built those buildings and what they produced in that factory or powerplant or whatever it was designed for. Perhaps Ms.Althouse can give some insight into those three stacks that break the peaceful skyline.
"Great, 4 years if sniping and snarling at Harris's every word and deed in AA comments. I may not be long for the comments on political posts."
To be fair, she is one nasty piece of work- you noticed how popular she was with Democrats in the primaries, no doubt? And everybody knows where her mouth has been- so there's that.
Great, 4 years if sniping and snarling at Harris's every word and deed in AA comments.
And that would be different from the way you, personally, responded to every word and deed of Donald Trump in what way?

Don't worry.
Neither Biden nor Harris will be president for the next 4 years.
It is entertaining that democrats think they can lock election observers out of places they are counting ballots and not invalidate the entire election.
You are just really stupid people.
The democrats completely invalidated every election where they locked the GOP observers out of the counting stations by law.
Black and white words on paper that you can't misconstrue.
You are going to cry when the state legislatures are seating the electors.
The lying scum in the dead-meat media have declared Biden the winner, hoping that we will give up the fight and start thinking about how to deal with a Biden presidency. But Joe Biden is not the President just because Carlos Slim's employees print "Biden Wins" on a piece of fishwrap.
Portland is learn the lesson of H.L. Mencken's democracy quote: “Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses. It is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” Antifa and BLM continued their rioting since last May. The election hasn't slowed them down. They rioted in front of a city councilman's house because he didn't vote to cut police funding and they tried to burn down city hall! The city and the state have yet to bring them under control. The only way to bring them under control is for the citizens to get out their AR-15s and shoot a few rioters dead. But, don't hold your breath.
We'll be traveling back through Portland on I-205 next week. We won't go into Portland proper until there's a Republican mayor.
At least the pure lefties have Biden figured out. From The Jacobin:
"He’s a cynical opportunist, just like he’s been his whole career. But the winds have shifted. He was tough on crime back when that was popular, and he’s against mass incarceration now that that’s popular. He was all for getting tough on poor people trying to declare bankruptcy in 2005 when that kind of personal responsibility rhetoric played well, but now that the party’s moved left, he’s moved with it. Since he doesn’t have any principles of his own, he’ll go with the flow — and right now, that means he’ll govern as a progressive. Most leftists rolled their eyes when Trump said things like that, but maybe we shouldn’t have. Maybe Biden really will govern as at least Bernie Lite.”
So the call for decency means that the investigations into Hunter Biden's dealings continue?
Integrity demands, and we know the Democrats are all about integrity so...

Great, 4 years if sniping and snarling at Harris's every word and deed in AA comments.
Big Mike: "And that would be different from the way you, personally, responded to every word and deed of Donald Trump in what way?"
Which actually pales in comparison to the things readering et al literally made up to snipe and snarl at. Every. Single. Day. For 4+ years.
"Neither Biden nor Harris will be president for the next 4 years."
Well, Kamala will be president for at least 2 or 3 years. I'm betting she will be the nation's Christmas present next year. I don't have to wonder what kind of president she will be - just look back at Barack Obama. A mediocrity, a lightweight, a nobody respected by nobody on the international stage, but without 2 years of Party control of the Congress. Her accomplishments, like Joe Biden's, are already behind her. And she doesn't have the benefit of having actually helped write some bill or other; she will be best remembered for the way she entered politics, as the mistress of a powerful man who actually knew what he was doing. President Harris will be remembered alongside President Buchanan and the first President Johnson, at the bottom of the list of history's forgotten accidental leaders.
Biden delivered a pretty good speech tonight. He mostly said the right things for someone who (ostensibly) has just defeated the incumbent President. The energy level, though, was all very high, as though he was pumped up somehow -- maybe just from the excitement of "winning" the Predidency? If he was capable of doing that, I wonder why he (or his handlers) thought he had to hide in his basement during the campaign. It's pretty clear he's going to try to take credit for "handling" the pandemic starting from about the time the vaccines are expected to become available.
What really annoyed me were the comments from the ABC newsies before the speech, giving their best impression of the College of Cardinals announcing the selection of a new Pope -- only the newsies have been kissing Biden's ass for months, not just since his "election". Great Fourth Estate you've got there.
It would be a beautiful thing if, after all the current obnoxious celebrations, the court cases proceed and Trump still becomes President. The Dems and the media deserve another shellacking.
But I've accepted the fact that it may not happen. I've never been more demoralized after an election in my entire life. Yes, there was fraud. But there were also millions of people who voted for the carcass of corruption and his laughing hyena. I've never felt political numbness before, but I do now. This country may be too stupid and degraded to survive. Millions of our fellow citizens are superficial and uninformed fools. Biden and Harris? Are you freaking kidding me? Four years of this s--t?
I don't have anything original to say. I've been reading the various threads without commenting too much, and plenty of others have voiced my opinions. I honestly think I'm going to stop paying attention to national politics for awhile. I resist and reject this new alleged President and his administration. I owe him no loyalty or allegiance. I'm simply going to ignore him. The only time I'll watch or listen to Biden speak is if I learn his dementia is unusually egregious. I do wonder, how long before buyer's remorse sets in among the electorate? How long before it occurs to the American public that Joe just ain't there anymore?
I'll keep my eyes on local news and politics, in case there's a BLM protest heading to my neck of the woods. But otherwise, I'm exhausted. Trump's presidency was a once in a lifetime opportunity for this nation to be restored to a semblance of health and sanity, and he wasn't allowed to finish the job. The powers that be manipulated the populace to reject him. Maybe an "Act III" is on the horizon, but right now it looks to me like the Swamp and the Deep State won. The coup was successful. They actually got away with it, and Biden was rewarded.
Biden defeating Trump is like Salieri defeating Mozart. A mediocrity preempted the works of a political genius.
It was a wild ride, and maybe it's not over. Keep hope alive, as the Rev. Jackson would say. But if Trump indeed is a one term president, may be take a well-deserved rest, and enjoy the love and gratitude of millions of patriotic Americans. He did the best he could, under impossible circumstances. Maybe he'll continue being an agent of influence. Tweet away sir, but find a different platform. If his supernatural energy doesn't wane, perhaps he'll even run again in 4 years. I hope in the meantime that he and his family are not the victims of false prosecutions. I'm not sure they're even safe any more, with AOC and other Madame Defarges taking control.
Meanwhile, all the enemies and fairweather friends of the U.S. are rejoicing right now. China especially. What a sick world we live in.
It's the beginning of November. Trump has two and a half months to play Samson, push over the pillars, and bring this whole system of error crashing to the ground. He should declassify every document that he can, with every damn redaction removed. He should pardon every person of interest that he can (including Snowden and Assange), within reason. He should expose the FBI, CIA, IRS, NSA, and every other agency that is no longer accountable to the people, and that was used to thwart his administration. He should dial up his foreign policy up to 11. He should bring every single American soldier home, from every single country, and force Biden and the Congress to articulate why they should be sent back. Maybe he could put all the soldiers at the border. Or maybe he could send them all to Taiwan. He should give at least one speech to the American people where he lays all his cards on the table, regarding the spying on his campaign, the Russia collusion hoax, etc., and then insist that Barr, Durham, and all the other snails and turtles do the same. He should expose Biden completely and utterly, and rob him of all credibility before inauguration day. He should make Harris the voice and face of the Democratic Party, and lay the foundation for a GOP blowout in the midterms.
In short, he should have lots of fun, and walk away smiling.
Well done, good and faithful servant. It's been real.
I saw this quote from The Art of War, "If you sit by the river long enough you will see the bodies of your enemies floating by." I haven't decided yet exactly what that means.
I wonder if that kid Hunter Biden had with the DC stripper will be at the inauguration.
We have heard a lot about the City of Philadelphia these last few weeks, which reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Trading Places. So many great scenes, such good acting, still so so funny after almost 40 years.

It won't be a question of whether the totals are infected by specific instances of fraud -- the issue will be that the process for coming up with numbers is unreliable. Only hand recounts will cure -- cannot "certify" unreliable numbers produced by flawed electronic means.

Recounts might reveal problems that make the vote tally unreliable. That could invalidate the popular vote in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. No re-votes--remedy under most state election codes is that State Legis. decides on slate of electors.

I wouldn't post it on Facebook, either. I go there to catch up with friends and family who are far away and I've already told my (increasingly smaller, it would seem) group of friends that I stop following anybody who posts political crap. I get enough of that elsewhere.
I'm fine with the outcome of the fraud for my own personal financial reasons, but it sucks for my kids. Democrats and Liberals reward people who don't work and don't do shit, which is a pretty good description of me since I retired 9 months ago at age 58. I don't really "make" any money, so I won't be paying more taxes. I'm looking forward to more Covid unemployment and stimulus checks, since I technically lost my job to Covid two weeks before I was going to retire. I'm looking forward to my fiancee and I jumping onto Medicare early. I'm looking forward to student loan debt forgiveness. If all or any of those things happen, I'll be stuffing thousands of dollars a month into my budget. Suck on that for a minute, Chuck, Inga, Mark, and Readering.

I'm curious how "cruel neutrality" will react to this. Biden's precinct vote distribution in key cities badly violates Benford's Law - badly. Facebook will not allow this link to be posted. Wikipedia has people editing the Benford's Law page. This is straight out of 1984.
To anyone mathematically trained, this is slam dunk proof of fraud. The odds against this distribution in a single instance are enormous (chance it it occurring naturally in Milwaukee Metropolitan Area is .0020%). Multiply that by normal distributions for everyone else and suspect distributions only for Biden in democratic five controlled precincts and we approach 2 in 10^19 (that's nineteen zeros - over a billion billions).
The NYT, WaPO, twitter, facebook, and the MSM are ignoring mathematics. They have no claim to believing in science.

@Mike of Snoqualmie:
Portland is learn the lesson of H.L. Mencken's democracy quote
Mencken was undoubtedly an elitist who had contempt for democracy. This contempt for democracy extended to contempt for democratic law and contempt for law enforcement. From Notes on Democracy: "The fact, perhaps, explains his veneration for policemen, in all the forms they take--his belief that there is a mysterious sanctity in law, however absurd it may be in fact. A policeman is a charlatan who offers, in return for obedience, to protect him (a) from his superiors, (b) from his equals, and (c) from himself."
Mencken wanted to "abolish the police." He believed the most important thing in life was that high IQ people be completely free to express themselves. He opposed any dogma, from politics to religion to tradition to custom, that inhibited this. Of course, Mencken had a dogma of his own: veneration for the "superior man." He considered the "common man" to be scared, superstitious dullards.
Freeman Hunt,
Don't you worry.
Your support of Romney after he switches parties (in fact or in practice) will have you pulling for a winning team in no time.
The globalists might even make you happy with a pat on the head.
Apparently it is very easy to get registered to vote in GA so the Dems are scheming ways to get several thousand people to "move" there in time to vote in the two runoff elections and then they can change their minds and just go back home. Can this work? I don't know but there is talk of getting Michael Bloomberg to pay for these temporary moves.
So all that yadeeya about how the GOP actually did ok because it held the Senate and it can obstruct Biden's more radical agenda items, maybe not so fast.
"The NYT, WaPO, twitter, facebook, and the MSM are ignoring mathematics. They have no claim to believing in science."
They'd probably be okay with putting a mask on it. Or over it. Or just burying it altogether.
What I wanna know is, is our BlogMistress happy with the outcome?
Is she PROUD that she didn't vote??
Does she think that the Framers of our Constitution would imagine that an allegedly educated person teaching Constitutional Law would sniff into her perfumed hanky and NOT vote for either candidate for President?
That this same allegedly educated person teaching Constitutional Law would not comment about the rampant fraud that HER SIDE has engaged in to rig an election for that POTUS?
That this same allegedly educated person teaching Constitutional Law has only "cruel neutrality" to offer as a dodge against actually expressing an opinion about how the document she taught about has been utterly DEFILED by the her political ilk?

The only people who should be eligible to vote in a runoff election are those who voted in the original election. Seeing as how being dead isn't enough to keep people from voting, if you didn't care enough to vote the first time, you have no standing to claim that it matters to you now.

"Barbarians" - German-made Netflix production that tells the story of the Battle of Teutoborg Forest in 9 AD when Germanic tribes destroy three Roman legions. Set your Netflix app language to German and turn on English subtitles and the German barbarians will all be speaking German and all the Romans will be speaking Latin.
Haven't seen that (and won't, I don't Netflix), but that battle was the turning point of the Roman Empire. They never had the legions to spare again, and the failure to expand into Germany left them with a frontier problem that ultimately doomed them.
David Drake laid it all on Varus for, essentially, trying to treat the Germans as a conquored people without going to the bother of actually conquering them.

Harris was a pretty lame choice. She seems to have been pretty pragmatic and moderate but veered to the left in Congress. This and her earlier political campaigns all suggest Harris is driven much more by political strategy than ideological commitment. But this makes Harris more dependent on staffers to crystallize her positions, and these staffers will undoubtedly exert leftward pressure on her. She's a pretty standard issue coastal urban elite. And as they say, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

I think humans are too interdependent for such an arrangement.

There are 3 mathematical oddities to Biden's votes.
The above mentioned violation of Benford's Law.
In swing states, the tremendous number of Biden votes with no down ballot votes that exceed in both percentage and raw numbers the Biden votes with no down ballot votes in non-swing states, and by far exceed the same with Trump. Apparently everywhere, though is some states they're within an order of magnitude.
I've read that in Milwaukee, particularly, an large number of precincts where the total number of votes ends in 00. Not 01, 0r 13, or 99, but 00. WHich almost never happens in real life.
Now, any one of the three might just be a statistical anomaly and not evidence of nefarious doings. They're not, but might be. All 3? And all oin swing states? Oh, I think the 00 thing might also be related to Benford's Law. But I'm not certain....
Now the real tell of the only Biden ballots would be- are they randomly distributed throughout the state? Or all in one or two cities or counties? The latter would be dead on proof of fraudulent votes.
Gospace, I don't need proof or theory to know the election is going to be stolen. Biden fucking said it himself. We have a saying in my family that goes: "Serves the little brat right!' Let them have what they think they want so badly. And then laugh at them when they get it.
The Federalist has this clip yesterday of Schumer surrounded by a crowd of admirers very near Columbus Circle and the Trump International Hotel and Tower and Columbus Circle
Schumer: If Democrats Win The Senate Through Georgia Races, We Will ‘Change America’
"...One runoff race features incumbent Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who filled the seat vacated by Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson earlier this year, against Democrat Raphael Warnock. The other runoff will be between Republican incumbent David Perdue and Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff."
“Now we take Georgia, then we change the world,” Schumer said, holding a black 2020 flag with a “no” symbol over a 45, denoting Donald Trump, the 45th president, and the words “Reclaiming my country.”
“Now we take Georgia, then we change America,” the New York Democrat said at what appeared to be a mass celebration in New York City.

I agree with your second sentence. It won’t be a shellacking, though, but it might be a long slow decline into irrelevance. That is, a continuation of what we are already seeing. The Democratic party can’t win anything outside the cities. At the state and national levels, they have become a rump, regional party. They have delayed their irrelevance by learning how to use local party machines to steal national elections.
It will work this time. In fact, if you look at the long game, it is better, like Nixon in 1960, to value preserving some modicum of faith in the system over addressing the fraud. Take this anger and energy and focus it on electoral reforms—ballot security. Clean up voting. Plenty of countries liberals admire have ballot security that liberals fight tooth and nail at home. For instance, I am a dual citizen, born in the US, but living in Canada. I cannot vote in Toronto without showing an ID. And on a sort-of related note, to become a citizen, I had to demonstrate proficiency in the language and, at the swearing-in ceremony, I got a speech about Canadian values and how, if I want to be a Canadian, I have an obligation to take those values as my own. And the judge meant it.
Whether or not Trump succeeds in his quest, the voter fraud boil must be lanced, especially in Philly. I am tired of vote being wasted in PA elections.

It would be interesting to look at the vote in Detroit as counted by individuals before and after poll watchers were ejected as the counters cheered. One poll watcher was ejected for touching his mask. The cheers remind me of when Democrat lawyers cheered in 2000 every time they got a military ballot disqualified.
I am sure that Cuck can assure us that it’s all on the up and up and that surely the counters would apply the same standards to ballots with or without oversight. That’s why they cheered when the Republicans were thrown out.

It is. Benford’s Law relates to the ratio found in the final digit of random number sets—in a series of random numbers, a certain percentage will end in 1, a certain percentage in 2, etc. The larger the dataset, the smaller the anomaly can be before you get suspicious. Benford’s Law is used to combat all sorts of fraud involving numbers. The IRS even uses it to flag suspicious tax returns.
Trump got 71 million votes. If he doesn't prevail in the courts he should take those 71 million votes and form a new political party because it's clear that neither the dems or repubs represent those 71 million voters
"Benford’s Law relates to the ratio found in the final digit of random number sets”
Leading digit, and from what I hear, the lefties have been all over the Wikipedia article, so if you want a true look at it, you should go to archive.org and look at it from a month ago.

We will just get the ones we don’t like fired and put them on a list so that they can never get another job.
I hope Trump fights this out
The main list of persons who had registered to vote on or before November 1, 2020, was listed on an electronic poll book, often referred to as the QVF. As I understand it, the Supplemental Sheets were the lists of persons who had registered to vote on November 2, 2020 or November 3, 2020.
I observed that none of the names on these new ballots were on the QVF or the Supplemental Sheets.
I saw the computer operators at several counting boards manually adding the names and addresses of these thousands of ballots to the QVF system.
When I asked what the possible justification was to counting ballots from unknown, unverified “persons”, I was told by election supervisors that the Wayne County Clerk’s Office had “checked them out.”
I challenged not one ballet, but the entire process as the names were not in the Poll Books or Supplemental Sheets and because the DOB’s were all wrong, all being marked as 01-01-1900.
This is probably how Cruella got elected in the first place, so don’t look to her to sign any law fixing it.

Trump got 71 million votes. If he doesn't prevail in the courts he should take those 71 million votes and form a new political party because it's clear that neither the dems or repubs represent those 71 million voters

"You’re all thinking what a craptastic speaker the septuagenarian Joe Biden is.
You’re not wrong. But that’s how bad Trump is. He lost to Biden."
You remind me of the slow kid that got a Rubic's Cube for Christmas. But because the puzzle was difficult to decipher he simply removed all the colored stickers and repasted them inelegantly on the same sides of the squares. He then announces with beaming face his poorly executed solution, "Look! I solved it!"
Don't be too proud of yourself, Chuck. We all know how you got here.

Aside from being a craptastic speaker, Joe suffers from dementia and his co-pilot is an accomplished knob-polisher (her family must be so proud).
The potential election of these two specimens are what Democrats are dancing in the streets over? Be better.
