Month: September 2020

It’s pretty much over.

When are the riots starting up again?

^

None of the Republicans facing re-election came out as a third opposing vote, so Romney can’t come out as the heroic fourth opposing vote.

Trump will get his Supreme Court Justice.

^

Republicans can lose one more vote.

Do it.

I voted for Democrats and Obama in both 2006 and 2008 despite being a Ron Paul libertarian. The predominant issue at the time for me was to close Guantanamo, end the Bush wars, and repeal the Bush security state. Get rid of the Patriot Act, and so forth. So I was naively excited when “anti-war” Obama sailed into office, and ultimately ended up with 60 Democrats (historic) in the Senate and a majority in the House.

But rather than end the wars and the security state, he expanded both. He didn’t close Guantanamo. He started more wars, helped destroy Libya and Syria. He made Hillary his secretary of state. Fine, so he’s just another warmongering politician with a nice smile, I get it.

Instead he used his impossible to stop Senate supermajority to force through Obamacare, extremely unpopular among many not in his cult, under which I lost my health insurance, despite his many lies that if I like my plan, I can keep my plan. Obamacare permanently destroyed the private insurance market with steep deductibles and premiums.

Some of my scummy liberal friends (who as I said turned out to be socialist/communist in the end after all, which makes sense since I’m actually the liberal) said people who claimed to lose their health insurance were liars, and then switched to “meh” after I showed them my cancellation letter. It’s fine, they’ve since unfriended me since Trump won. I guess they don’t wish to associate with fascists/racists who post too much banter into their news feed.

No big deal.

So now Republicans have an opportunity to finally make the fake conservative John Roberts irrelevant, and overturn not only Obamacare, but a whole array of poorly thought out leftist socialist policies. Poetic.

I won’t be satisfied until the last Democrat admits that betraying the anti-Bush anti-war vote from 2006/2008 and forcing through Obamacare with that mandate instead was a mistake. Until I hear an apology for that, make them pay.

So, now there’s an open Supreme Court seat. ?

Do it.

Electoral Map for 9/19/20, including STE.

Nevada switches to Biden.
New Hampshire switches to Trump.

With Ginsburg’s death likely affecting this election in sudden but unpredictable ways, I thought I’d publish an update before polls have a chance to reflect that impact.

There were no state level updates for Nevada, but Nevada was right at the edge, so Biden’s national improvement switched the state to him.

Trump has been working on New Hampshire, including with rallies, and it finally switched to him.

I guess I was wrong. 2020 is no longer about Ginsburg.

Nevermind, 2020 is still about Ginsburg.

Republicans might get it through somehow, but I wouldn’t bet on it just yet.

Not sure why everyone complicates it so much. 2020 comes down to Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
