    There could be 2 days even before than filled with drama.

    Tomorrow: No action by Trump means at midnight tomorrow night parts of the government shut down.
    1/3: No action by Trump means that the stimulus package that was passed is pocket vetoed.

    If Trump just does nothing, I don't think that there is anything other than invoking the 25th amendment that can be done to either reopen the government or pass any kind of stimulus until Biden is sworn in.

    January of next year has a decent shot of being quite dramatic. And this is all on top of the incoming Christmas surge for the virus.

    NEVER A DULL MOMENT!

    for lawyers and non-lawyers: grab your red wine and scotch (you'll need some) and walk into the abyss of that madness of a lawsuit. the case in detail:
    https://twitter.com/questauthority/s...38373412990979

    and yes, the Electoral College itself is summoned to answer. what is this, an exorcism ?

    This lawsuit filed today - seeking to invalidate _all_ of the federal and state laws about how pres. elections are and have been certified for at least 130 years ...

    means also the anulment of the appointment of the judges they want a verdict from too; all those presidents sworn in in last decades are totally unlawful elected and cannot appoint anybody

    Well, I guess his principles didn't last as long this time as last time.

    By the way, choosing to do a horrible thing for a shorter time, is not a good thing. He's vile and a coward, but at least the balance between them did less damage to the American people this time. It's like a murderer fleeing from the scene after "only" killing two people rather than five.

    I fully expect Dems to pass it tomorrow like they said they would.

    And, as expected, Mitch has just responded, no mention of more stimulus.

    I see what you did there.

    Trump to hold packed, maskless rally for the Georgia Senate race.

    "After all, they'll catch COVID and die after they've voted," Trump didn't say but probably meant to.

    Yes, WA state will fill the gap. They announced it before Trump’s signature.

    From what I've heard over the last few days about Trump's grievances, I fully expect him to give Loeffler the same "respect" he gave McSally.

    Yes, depending on the state certain people live, some people could get up to about a week of nothing.

    yeah you are right, it'll have to be a new bill, so yeah probably not tomorrow, hopefully sometime this week though. And if Trump is actually honest about wanting the extra 1400, which it's Trump so I have 25,000 reasons to believe he isn't, but if he is, it'll be interesting to see him fighting republicans over this.

    Wow, I completely forgot about that. Now I'm morbidly curious...

    Any word on the +300 being retroactive at all?

    No, it’s from next week, until March. It’s not retroactive, even for this week.

    Fair enough... he can’t work after sundown and there is no way to sign it from a golf cart.

    The worst offense here are quotes but no sources.

    I could also be like "Breaking News: Trump tries to fuck pig disguised as Ivanka" and we'd be both equally right.

    Difference is your example is plausible.

    Rasmussen a Right Wing Trumpist Polling Group is quoting Stalin to support overturning the elections.

    Weird...the party that has long been accused of being functionally a right wing authoritarian party with a nice suit on...is starting to openly talk like right wing authoritarians?

    Who could have ever seen this coming.

    I don't think there really were 205,000 more votes than there voters in Pennsylania, and I think that Biden won the state cleanly.

    Right now I'm not sure if there is a solid answer to this. There are hypotheses that this will be retroactive and everyone will get the full 11 weeks, or because trump delayed it, some may only get 10 weeks. It's an unnecessary uncertainty. Thanks Trump...
