Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Breccia]

I hope we see that happen soon.

I'll get @cubby to refute me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that a judge can't cite you for contempt for what happened in other cases. As long as Trump's lawyers field court case after court case that's a hair's bredth away from contempt, the sheer number of them won't matter.

PA SCOTUS would be a choke point where multiple cases about the same thing end up on their doorstep, like a flaming bag of dog shit.

On topic: the CEO of the Chamber of Commerce and a growing number of CEO's are calling on Trump to, you know, stop rolling around on the floor screeching and banging his tiny fists.

Tom Donohue — CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and longtime confidant of Republican presidents — tells Axios that Joe Biden is president-elect and President Trump "should not delay the transition a moment longer."

"President-elect Biden and the team around him have a wealth of executive branch experience that should allow them to hit the ground running," Donohue said in a statement.

"[W]hile the Trump administration can continue litigating to confirm election outcomes, for the sake of Americans' safety and well-being, it should not delay the transition a moment longer."

National Association of Manufacturers president and CEO Jay Timmons, and other NAM leaders, said the GSA should sign the letter opening transition resources to Biden: "Further, we call on the Trump administration to work cooperatively with President-elect Biden and his team."

JPMorgan Chase chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon told Andrew Ross Sorkin at the N.Y. Times' DealBook conference: "We need a peaceful transition. We had an election. We have a new president. You should support that whether you like it or not because it’s based on a system of faith and trust."

The Business Roundtable, representing top CEOs, on Nov. 7 congratulated "President-elect Biden, Vice President-elect Harris."

Wait, wasn't Trump supposed to give a conference?

EDIT: Okay no bullshit, I hit submit, found the live stream of Giuliani.

LITERALLY THIRTY SECONDS LATER he's talking about poll watchers.

No really. It wasn't even 30 seconds.

[Resurgo]

well the full intent was to get people to spend that money anyway they could to keep the economy semi alive.

as far as inventory that was more as a result of china and the rest of asia shutting down for a few months vs actual increase in sales

Not that we can/should control what people spend their $$ on, one unfortunate side effect of that didn't turn out so well...

Teen gunman Kyle Rittenhouse used coronavirus stimulus money to buy rifle used in Wisconsin shooting

[thilicen]

Giuliani is bullshitting so hard he's actually sweating..

[PhaelixWW]

Why am I not surprised that My Cousin Vinny is one of Giuliani's favorite movies?

[kaid]

Giuliani is bullshitting so hard he's actually sweating..

Rudy pretty much always has the flop sweats.

[Felya]

This Rudy press conference is super special.

He is now reinacting my cousin viny...

Why am I not surprised that My Cousin Vinny is one of Giuliani's favorite movies?

His favorite law movie...

[thilicen]

"We have tons of evidence but we can't show it too you". Well that's too bad then.

[Felya]

"We have tons of evidence but we can't show it too you". Well that's too bad then.

You can say she is lying... but, it’s evidence... /facepalm

Now it’s illegal immigrants...

[wunksta]

"Biden's people can cross examine her"

What?

[Edge-]

You don't ask for identification because it's not a legal requirement, Rudy. Because if they're not registered and they cast their vote, it will be flagged and they'll have committed voter fraud.

Damn man, America's Least Favorite Racist Uncle is in top form. I just tuned into this shit.

[thilicen]

Ah yes, illegal immigrants. We're really going through the list here.

[Breccia]

Now it’s illegal immigrants...

I posted about the Cienfuegos release literally 30 seconds ago.

[Felya]

"Biden's people can cross examine her"

What?

He also is said Biden isn’t providing his evidence and no one is asking him... :/

[Breccia]

Hmm. Sounds like turning off the conference was the right move. Sorry y'all are going through that.

But quick question for those of you watching: has Giuliani provided "evidence" that he should be providing in court, under oath? Because until it's entered under oath, it's not evidence. It's a prop.

[Felya]

He is now assuming she is a democrat... wtf?

They ran for the food in the trucks, but there were garbage bags of ballots and no one was there but... something? What?

[Edge-]

Wait...so he can't show who signed the affidavits because they want to remain private...but he just pointed out where to read a few of the public ones and named the people who signed them by name?

Oh, now he's excoriating media for not "investigating" voter fraud which...still isn't their job.

[thilicen]

And here comes the "yell at the press and blame them" bit.

[Endus]

"We have tons of evidence but we can't show it too you". Well that's too bad then.

If there's anything you've learned from the last ~12 years or so, it's that you shouldn't believe a Republican's claim unless they provide the actual evidence directly to you so you can verify it for yourself. Or at least, testify to it in a court of law, under oath and thus threat of perjury.

You can say literally anything to the press. You can say that Biden is a socialist Nazi pedophile demonlord who rapes kids to death to extend his lifespan. Unless you can provide evidence to back that up, or are gonna make that claim under oath, you can fuck off and eat shit. I wouldn't believe a Republican at this point if they were saying they enjoyed oranges, not unless they peeled and ate one right in front of me.

[thilicen]

And he just did a lecture on what "thrice" means. This is amazing.

Pretty sure the judges threw out a lot of those affidavits as hearsay.
