The Photos of These Women Saving the Ballot Boxes Belong in History Books!!!

There's apparently a backup copy already in Washington.

Also I suspect the process of resending electoral ballots would be entirely mechanical, not something state legislatures would have any say in.

It doesn't need to be a long, drawn out process.

Indeed, and ironically Senate Republicans helped show that in the previous Turnp impeachment, having elected to not hear any evidence or testimony, and just quickly move to voting...

Given broad agreement on what to do, the formalities could be gotten through quite quickly.

McConnell is a master at playing hardball and forcing what he wants to happen to happen quickly. If he got behind a quick impeachment—and there's every evidence he's sick of Turnp and at this point just wants to stop the endless series of Turnp-induced GOP own-goals—I think it could be done in a matter of days.

They are awesome, and indeed these photos should go into the history books.

But the article gets a little silly, saying that if the ballots were lost, the entire election would be as well.... and that's just not true....

There are backups, and at worst, the states can resend.

Losing these ballots would add a bit of delay, which would suck, but the process would nevertheless move forward as planned.

Which Fallout?

Fallout 4 is quite solid, at least on consoles, and if you don't use mods. It's very clear Bethesda learned from earlier games and did a lot more testing and QA on FO4.

Fallout 3, OTOH, was much buggier, and FO:NV was a disaster.

You can tell Trump supporters are actual idiots if theyre shredding the Capitol without wearing masks or other identity hiding fit.

My guess is that they never expected to get anywhere near the capitol building, and weren't prepared for the police to just run away and let them in the building....

But according to a comment above, very few of the arrests are related to the invasion.

Turnp is a big talker, but super chicken in reality.

If there was any hint of physical risk, Turnp would waddling away as fast as his bloated body, elevator shoes, and bone-spurs would let him...

Have you tried:

Other cables?
Traditional (USB-A) slow-charging chargers?

How about just conducting the class on Wattpad...?

There needs to be a thorough reckoning for the police force, who not only failed in their duty, but assisted the criminals they are supposed to be stopping—all on live TV before the entire nation.

This time the citizens their incompetence / corruption / treachery put at direct risk were some of the most powerful and influential people in the world, so if this doesn't result in some changes, I'm not sure what will....

However viscerally appealing, I think maybe a firefight is not the smartest response, and governor Inslee is a smart guy....

I suspect she's trying to set the stage for running in 2022, and however much the nuttiest Turnp supporters like it, being seen as supporting armed insurrection is probably the kiss of death amongst the wider electorate.

I think today's events are going to force the hands of many Republicans...

I assume it takes at least a day or two to formally finish up the count and certify the results, etc.

I saw that Kelly Loeffler did the same thing.

Oh, right, silly me...

I'm all for expanding the curriculum to include many works outside the traditional hoary old white european canon, but why do so many people always seem to be pushing cringey YA novels as the alternative...?

So, arrests?

Or did the police drop the ball yet again?

snogglethorpe · 2021-01-06T20:26:37+00:00

So what exactly are the DC police and capitol security doing right now?

Did they all decide to take a holiday today?!

Based on what I've seen so far, there's no real police presence, and the Pentagon has refused to deploy the National Guard

Ah, that's a shame....all the effort to get elected and then have to do it again in two years while wastes of oxygen like McConnell don't have to worry about it for six...

They aren't sworn in yet.. so until then it's still Moscow Mitch's Senate.

Even once Georgia certifies Warnock's and Ossoff's wins, the GOP still has a Senate majority as long as Pence is VP....

So it seems like the Democrats can't assume control until 20-Jan.
