I actually am kinda surprised that we are not seeing it this time with the loser Repubs.
Even those that Trump backed.
Where is all the outrage this time?
There are claims that something was amiss in AZ, but that is bogus with no evidence. Again.
Interesting or surprising they limited to just one state. Yet.
And on the subject of Amer. Idol, I saw on a click bait of the reality of reality shows that it is run similar to AGT.
That is, scouts find good singers they invite to be on the show as opposed to everyone just showing up cold.
Shows like this are being very selective on who can go on and who cannot before they perform in front of the judges.
Not that there is anything wrong with this.
Just that they are not being very honest in making us think everyone shows up that same day with no prior notice to.

I have yet to see the last two LaBrea's but I am on the verge of giving up on it since it is just getting more ridiculous.
One of us may have brought this up before but how did they jump into a sinkhole in Seattle only to end up in So. Cal while everyone else who fell in LaBrea ended up back at LaBrea?
I'l check out the other one(s) but I dunno.
Were you ever a fan of the X Files?

I guess all sinkholes lead to the same place? Although they should've ended up in the same exact place as the others then.
I didn't watch last night's episode yet, but I watched the others. It's so stupid, yet I can't stop watching.
I've watched a little of the X Files. -

How is Boebert winning?!?
LAUREN BOEBERT AND MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE MAKE THE CASE FOR CONGRESSIONAL IQ MINIMUMS
Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene haven’t been in Congress very long, but they've made big names for themselves so far. As cartoon villains who vote against bills that benefit cancer patients. As bigots who vilify transgender people and want to criminalize transgender medical care. As bat-**** crazy lunatics who believe that Democrats are part of a satanic cult of pedophiles who eat children and that California wildfires are caused by Jewish space lasers. As people in charge of making laws who nevertheless say things like “gazpacho police,” when referring to the gestapo, “peach tree dish," when they mean petri, and “wonton killings,” when the word they were likely looking for was “wanton.”
The latest instance of food-related linguistic terrorism came on Tuesday when Boebert — who is “tired of the this separation of church and state junk” and wants "biblical citizenship training” in schools — read a passage from the Bible about “wanton killings” but pronounced it like the Chinese dumpling. At no point did she appear to realize the error, and in fact seemed to suggest she’d be reading up on what “wonton killings” entail. Are they murders that occur over dim sum? Is it when someone is suffocated with dough and then buried under a pile of ground pork? Has Law & Order: Criminal Intent ever done an episode about them? Hopefully the representative from Colorado will do her own research and let us know. -

lol. All will be resolved in the potential recount. wink
We are down to the wire when it comes to receiving the final ballot count in Colorado's Congressional District 3 race. The race between Republican Lauren Boebert and Democrat challenger Adam Frisch has remained too close to call since Election Day.
All ballots must be cured and accepted by midnight. Curing a ballot means giving voters a chance to correct a signature discrepancy or provide a missing signature. That must happen by 11:59 p.m. tonight (Wednesday, November 16). That is also the last day for overseas and military ballots to be received by the county clerk.
By Friday, county clerks must finish tabulating all in-person and mail ballots. Immediately following that tabulation, the county has to prepare a report on the results and upload them to the Secretary of State's office.
The Pueblo County Clerk Gilbert Ortiz told CBS News Colorado Political Reporter Shaun Boyd he will release the final tally from his county Thursday.
As of Tuesday evening just before 5 p.m., the most recent results put Boebert ahead, 162,040 votes to Frisch's 160,918, or 1,122 votes.
That margin is slightly larger than what would trigger an automatic recount. The thresh hold to trigger a recount is when the difference between apparent winning and losing votes is 0.5% or less than the winning number.
Colorado Politics reports two counties in CD3 had 1,166 still be cured. Those are in Mesa and Pueblo counties. CD3 covers 27 counties. The Colorado Sun reports 40% of the votes in that district come from Mesa and Pueblo counties.
If a recount is not triggered, the Secretary of State has until December 5 to certify the election..
Either candidate can request a recount, if they pay for it. That request must come by December 6. Those recounts must be done by December 15. -

"those that lost should have contested every result and quoted Trump etal from 2020 in their filings."

It must really suck for your side to go from thinking that they were winning, that a Red Wave was going to crush Democrats and win back both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate for the Republicans with them having a BIG vote majority in both, and that a BIG majority of the country was on their side to now knowing that they weren't winning, that there was not a Red Wave, that they won the House with a very very small vote majority, that they did not win the Senate, and that a BIG majority of the country is not on their side. -

Ted Cruz voted against McConnell:
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, voted Wednesday to oust Minority Leader Mitch McConnell from the top of his party’s conference, though the long-standing Republican leader overcame the intraparty challenge.
During a closed-door Senate Republican meeting on Wednesday, Cruz supported a bid by U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Florida, to replace McConnell — the first challenge to McConnell’s leadership since the Kentuckian took control of the party in 2007. Scott is the head of the Senate Republican campaign arm.
But a large 37-member majority voted against Scott’s bid for leader during the meeting that lasted 3.5 hours. -

President Joe Biden has asked House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a fellow Democrat, to remain in Congress and to continue holding a Democratic leadership role, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
There was no comment on whether Pelosi responded to Biden.
Pelosi, 82, has long been under pressure from some pockets of her rank-and-file to step down and make way for a new generation of Democratic leadership.
But Pelosi has long been viewed as an effective leader and savvy tactician and has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for Democratic candidates over the past couple decades.
Those are seen as attributes that could help Biden navigate the second half of his term.
