Political Discussion Thread II

Except the entire point of the last four yeas from McConnel’s stance was “I stopped obma from appointing over 200 state level judges, and now had to coach this reality star into doing it” and he did.

The one in PA has already been ran up to the SC - they have said they would hear it, but not before election day, which gives them the chance to not just revert the 3 day “grace” period, but to ■■■■ up any vote received after “the third” which is insane to try an actually prove.

The current justices have strongly hinted they would rule in favor of barring anything like that, and there’s no telling how many of those votes counted today even as we don’t know how PA goes would run.

I have no faith in how the rest of this is going to go. I’m not going to stop anyone from having said faith, especially you. Right now, I’d like to think that both of us think that 3/4 of them at least are horseshit - but there’s a reason we’re getting these coming in now, and it’s not to make sure every vote gets counted.

The only faith I have here is Occam’s razor. A case getting sent back to the SCotUS again, being ruled against the original ruling, AND violating Purcell would be… unusual. I’m understating things, the likely implications for our government would probably beat out the electoral ones, since Biden would still probably win

I’m not saying it isn’t different from the pointless cases, but I’m not going to presume something that improbable happens.

I fully agree with the sentiment but given the bedrock lain, I can’t agree that a potential outcome will arise.

I hope it won’t.

Anyone who’s seen me post here knows I won’t.

But “this ■■■■ getting turned into a PA court case” has been my nightmare for the last two weeks.

Man this has been and continues to be a rollercoaster. Arizona gap tightens.

Expect it to continue to unfortunately, the nature of a lot of the ballots leftover means it’s likely to be close. Basically, Trump would need to win the remaining ballots by the same margin as he won a recent lot coming out of Maricopa, but that ignores that Pima also has some outstanding, which are likely to be pro-Biden.

Which brings me to the load lightening session of our dark depression election days -

What apocalypse class do you pick?

I’m going for a 2 handed spec with savage attacker. My pharmacist friend is basically going plague doctor from Darkest Dungeon, and my hard libertarian friend is going gunslinger (looking at you @MickityMike)

Pyromancer? Hmm. Misuse of word but you get my meaning.

Depends, are we talking system apocalypse style, or just outright everything is awful? If the former, then whatever version of magic winds up happening. If the latter, I try to steal a fishing boat, and live off it.

I’m watching The Two Towers so I’ll go with a scavenger/thief halfling.
To complete the power trio I’ll pick a dùnedain (Can’t get the correct accent. :man_shrugging:) ranger and… A gardener. :wink:

Yes.

I’d love to see you as a “wrong mage” from The Broken Empire/The Red Queens War.

You’d be an amazing reality mage.

So, dystopian system apocalypse. Also, that is not a cheerful reference, but I appreciate the vote of confidence nonetheless!

The upper class. For them there is no apocalypse. That only happens to us paupers.

Babe, me trusting you as a reality mage is all you need to know for me to accept your championship.

Fact, but depressing in this scenario.

C’mon stocky.

Ok I would probably go with a super high charisma class with awesome speech skills and a few points in assassin.

I would charm my way into the cult of Trump and pick my moment to take out the orange messiah with a nice backstab as he turns to me and says “et to Stocky?” In his dying moments the last thing he sees is me become leader of his goof troop in less than a minute with my excellent speech skills.

That a bit cheerier mate? :slight_smile:

In no specific order:
Depressed Druid Doomsday Prepper, Sarcastic Sword Psychiatrist, Charismatic Creature Caresser, Phlegmatic Fungal Pharmacologist, Yeasty Yeti Yeet Yeller, or Mighty Miffed Multigrain Mage.

The alliteration apocalypse is upon us.
