Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Breccia]

I would recommend watching the video. Reading about it doesn't really do what he said justice. This dude is PISSED.

I'm sure the Georgia Secretary of State will --

He spoke with passion and he spoke with truth, and it’s about time more people are out there speaking with truth. Perhaps not the exact wording I would have used, but you caught the essence of it and he has my full support. We have a tremendous team

--back him one hundred percent.

[PhaelixWW]

Um...what vote tally? I thought this was about silencing the media.

He was calling for limited martial law to have the military conduct a redo of the election.

Ohhhhhhhhh...yeah no. The US SS will shoot him first.

loathing women. That right there is a biggie. Someone can not like feminism yet still like women. Now if he said "fuck all women, they only should be riding and pleasing me" or referring to them as objects. That would leave no doubt. Misused words like incel and cuck, etc is just a peeve of mine.

Uhm, yeaaaaa, I agree... You can "like women" (as objects to covet) and loathe feminism... those two kind of go hand in hand. Obviously when I said "loathe woman" I meant loathe feminism, since these are inextricably linked... I didn't mean you find women icky, I meant you don't respect them as individuals, and you judge them based on their sex. If you don't "like feminism" then you're a bigoted asshole that probably resents not getting from women what you want, i.e. an incel or at least an approximate-incel.

"Feminism" just means "women should be treated fairly and equitably, rather than discriminated against because of their gender".

If you don't like feminism, you don't like women as people, just as objects.

Because the GOP shenanigans will never cease...

The GOP’s electoral mischief

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) has been telling colleagues and allies that he plans to challenge the Electoral College votes when Congress officially certifies Joe Biden’s victory on Jan. 6, as long as a Senate Republican joins him in the long-shot effort, sources tell your Huddle host.

Brooks confirmed his plans in a phone interview, adding that he is still considering objecting to the vote-counting process even if no one joins him — though he acknowledged that would be more of a symbolic protest. Brooks, echoing President Donald Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud without providing evidence, argued that the election was “badly flawed” and that most mail-in voting is “unconstitutional.”

“In my judgment, if only lawful votes by eligible American citizens were cast, Donald Trump won the Electoral College by a significant margin, and Congress’s certification should reflect that,” Brooks said. “This election was stolen by the socialists engaging in extraordinary voter fraud and election theft measures.”

Brooks, a member of the conservative Freedom Caucus, said he has had “indirect communication” with some senators about potentially joining forces, though he declined to elaborate further. He also said he’s discussed the procedural maneuver with some members of GOP leadership, but they gave him neither a “thumbs up” nor a “thumbs down,” Brooks said.

To be clear, this will have almost no impact on the election nor the timetable for inauguration. It's purely a GOP Rep trying to prove to Trump supporters that he's a Trumper so he can get their support in future elections. This is how fucked their party is right now.

I believe US conservatives would decry this kind of behavior as "virtue signaling".

Not trying to source shame, but where'd you even find that link? Looked like a familiar channel because apparently it is, someone else linked a while back and it's some weird alt-right hellhole with an unreadable conspiracy-laden chat and cringy voiceover.

https://www.c-span.org/video/?506956...holds-briefing

Cspan link for the briefing for anyone interested, not live yet but it should start in about 8 minutes.

[Breccia]

That’d be on the military as they’re the ones sworn to defend the constitution.

No no, I mean, if Trump tried to give that order, an order to declare himself dictator, a SS agent in the room would just pull their gun, empty the clip, drop the weapon and surrender.

Is it casual fucking Wednesday at the WH?

I didn't think I'd ever watch an official press briefing from someone wearing a turtleneck sweater and what looks like to be yoga pants.

[Edge-]

HAHAHAHAHA this is just another fucking whine session. Pathetic, this is done from the fuckin White House.

Yup, nothing to see here. Just getting the most mileage out of their pulpit while they can.

Amusingly, none of the staff for the Press Secretary are masked or social distancing while she complains about Democrats not making and social distancing.

Toppest of keks.

Damn work call is making it hard to listen in to what is being asked now >.<

questions asked by press is the interesting part as usual

[Edge-]

Now to catch up on the questions that I missed, stupid work call.

Looks like it was mostly just to show off the video of Democratic politicians being hypocrites (sure, fuck them) and have another whining session. I still can't get over that she complained about that while her press staff sat shoulder to shoulder, maskless, just off to the side of her. Isn't covid like, running rampant throughout the WH still?

"Please speak to the campaign on this matter." - Trump Campaign member.

Pathetic to the very end, I guess.

McEnema has dissociative personality disorder and her Press Sec. / Campaign Advisor aren't aware of each other.

“We lost suburban families,” Mr. Parscale said. “I think that goes to one thing: the decision on Covid to go for opening the economy versus public empathy.”

He added, “I think if he had been publicly empathetic, he would have won.”

I don't entirely disagree with his assessment, actually. Trump's blundering handling of the pandemic, specifically his complete lack of empathy even after recovering from the virus, hit him extremely hard.

Problem for Trump and Parscale, is that Trump seems largely incapable of empathy.
