Randy Quaid?


Happpy Kraken Day!!!!
true enough, the clash of the titans had a non-standard humanoid kraken.

however, traditionally the kraken has been a giant squid (or octopus): "The kraken (/ˈkrɑːkən/)[1] is a legendary sea monster of gigantic size and cephalopod-like appearance in Scandinavian folklore."

Wow it was closer than we thought

From wapo

here are the margins by which Biden won three critical states, as of Wednesday morning:
Arizona: 10,457
Georgia: 14,028
Wisconsin: 20,565
Total: 45,050

But if Trump had managed to get those 45,000 votes, he would have won 37 more electoral votes, making the electoral college a 269-to-269 tie. Under the Constitution, the election would have then been decided by the House of Representatives, with each state delegation getting just one vote. Even though Democrats have a majority in the House, more state delegations have Republican majorities. Trump would have been reelected.


Ok…here are the latest numbers on these three states and this argument that it was closer than we thought

Arizona: 10,457
Georgia: 12,670 (went down after recount)
Wisconsin: 20,565
Total: 43,692


if it had been 269-269 it would have been Trump…no questions asked

I'm still a little shocked this isn't a bigger story
Yes, of course, Biden got almost 6~ Million more votes, but that has nothing to do with the rules

Maybe it was just me, but on the daily Libs were like "trump won by only getting 77K votes in key states"  saying how bogus his election was.  Seems like the same argument will be used by the MAGA crowd.  Thankfully they don't seem to grasp math that well, so maybe they will just keep saying 'stop the steal'
Not that complicated


Very close in battleground states which Biden won by 0.1% or something overall

Couldn’t happen to a nicer 3 million dollars

So the Trump campaign paid $3 million for a recount in Milwaukee and Madison. The Milwaukee recount just concluded… and Joe Biden’s lead *grew* by 132 votes, per @PostRoz.
You know his sucker fans / cultists donated the money right?

I mean liberals acting like Trump lost $3 million?!? I guess it makes people feel better to see it that way but it’s a pretty superficial reading

Trump probably personally made money by diverting other money raised for the recounts etc , having overbilling etc
Why do I like trump tears soo much…is this a temporary affliction?

HE'LL GET BACK TO YOU Back in July, Gov. Ducey said he changed his White House ringtone to "Hail to The Chief" so he wouldn't miss a call from Trump/Pence.

Guess who called while Ducey was certifying Arizona's election? (7 secs in)

AG William Barr tells the AP that Justice Dept. hasn't uncovered widespread voting fraud that could have changed 2020 election outcome.

Wow


So Rudy will be our next AG?

Jonathan Swan@jonathanvswan
As we reported last night, POTUS is actively considering firing Barr and replacing with somebody more willing to do his bidding on election and Durham.
I so hope he shitcans Barr
