For those not aware, Ms. Straughan is a Canadian pundit. She used to publish videos regularly but hasn’t for a long time. This new, hilariously cynical video is superb:
The Stolen Election
“Here is why Liberals are not fully happy with the 2020 results”
…the overall results of the 2020 elections shows that the buzzwords and narratives that were written in the NYT and repeated on @Morning_Joe for the last 5 years are totally disconnected from reality. The 2020 results show that the “great” strategy by @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems and @TeamJoe regarding minorities did not work because – again – Biden won thanks to middle America whites while minorities moved to the GOP in ways not seen in decades thus keeping Trump’s loss narrow in the electoral count and regarding the margins within swing states.
Don’t expect the Machine Media (who peddled years of anti Trump conspiracies; who fortold a mass GOP wipeout in 2020, and who ran interference for Biden’s anger outbursts, gaffes, racists remarks and contradictory policy proposals) to echo the above facts.
And,
What must make the McCain/Romney wing of the GOP sick is to look at the hits the GOP took in 2008/2012 versus what happened now with Trump atop of the ticket.
Check out the rest because you won’t read it anywhere else.

Trump’s lawsuits are good for American democracy
This past weekend I’ve asked two questions to my friends who are afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome:
- You do realize that Biden has not yet become the President-elect, right?
- In the Year 2000, Al Gore rightfully pursued his legal options and things weren’t decided until mid-December. How come Donald Trump doesn’t have the same right to do so?
In many cases I received stunned silence to both of these questions. In a few cases I was met with absolute hostility. But the smarter ones answered ‘Yes’ to the first question and conceded the second.
Others are arguing the same point more vociferously:
For centuries, we have asked people who are unhappy with their fellow citizens or government agencies and institutions to bring their claims to court, where laws of evidence and ethical rules govern the proceedings. President Trump has not broken with these traditions; he has honored them. As long as his claims are not entirely frivolous from a factual or legal perspective, he may direct his lawyers to present and zealously advocate his claims in court.
So far, it seems the courts are doing their job. When the president went to federal court to claim that Pennsylvania should stop counting ballots as long as Republican observers were excluded, the judge asked the president’s lawyer “as a member of the bar of this court” whether any Republicans were present as ballots were counted. The lawyer responded, “There is a non-zero number of people in the room.” Lawyers, unlike politicians, are not allowed to lie, and so Trump’s lawyer was constrained, if only grudgingly, to acknowledge that Republicans had not been entirely excluded. The judge denied the petition but asked the parties to work out an agreement about how many people could observe the count and how close they ought to be.

Four Seasons Total Landscaping
This is your open thread for post election conspiracy theories, wishful thinking, fun and whacky Qanon links — a vent thread, in other words.
But before you begin, read this;
If you watched the Trump Team’s press conference yesterday like I did, you probably wondered why on earth they held it where they did: Four Seasons Total Landscaping, owned by Marie Siravo, located in an industrial zone next to an adult bookstore and crematorium in the outskirts of Philadelphia!
The media was completely baffled by the location choice. Slate, for example, hints the Trump team was probably so incompetent that they mixed up the business with the Four Seasons hotel in Philadelphia.

Say It Isn’t So, Joe!
“WITH REMARKABLE SYNCHRONICITY, big media organizations, including Fox, call race for Biden.”
It’s Breeders Cup day so haven’t watched this. Looks interesting, but don’t yell at me in the comments if you disagree.
Trump responds, as only Trump would. Like most people, I don’t believe they’re going to win this one — too many forces are against them. Do I think the election was taken by fraud? Probability high.
While We Wait For New Ballot Boxes To Be Stuffed
A few tasty Democrat tears.
Democrats in the House of Representatives reportedly voiced their concerns about the future of the party with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi as they lost a number of seats they were hoping to win Tuesday night.
In a Thursday caucus call, several Democrats reportedly shared their concerns about the election results in the House, as Democrats did not expand their majority, losing many seats polls showed Democrats winning. Virginia Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger was reportedly the most vocal, saying Democrats should never say the word socialism again and that she almost lost her race because of the Defund the police movement.
“We lost races we shouldn’t have lost. Defund police almost cost me my race because of an attack ad. Don’t say socialism ever again,” Spanberger reportedly said. Adding that the party needs “to get back to basics.” Spanberger then reportedly said that “if we run this race again we will get fucking torn apart again in 2022.”
The only incumbent President who has ever faced an election loss while at the same time providing down ballot coattails. Huh.
Almost 100,000 people who voted for Joe Biden could not be bothered to vote down below.
Compare that with only 2,000 for the Trump down ballot. https://t.co/plGAlXoOSM— Rising serpent 🇺🇸 (@rising_serpent) November 6, 2020

POTUS 2020: Results Time
Real Clear Politics chart shows votes actually counted [as opposed to early reporting which is based on registered voter turnout] listed by poll closing time. Give it a moment or two to load.
New York Times interactives with county by county breakdowns, including a more restrained version of the election needles.
There’s such a flood of information, I’m not going to try to keep up, other than to share interesting tidbits here and there.
I know there was some nervousness early with these key states, (screencapped just before 9pm Eastern)
Death of Expertise: @CaseyMattox Fox says 89% likely NC going Biden at the same moment NYT says 76% likely NC going Trump. Just now.
@RichLowry — Member of a Trump team just called to say that they think that Trump is winning about 70 percent of the Cuban vote in FLA, up from 54 percent in 2016, and that he’s posted huge gains in heavily Venezuelan and Colombian areas/neighborhoods. In short, it’s not just Cubans Final Trafalgar poll of Florida was Trump +3 and they look as though they may have been closest (again).
FYI, I have NO NETWORKS on — no radio and no TV (though I may pull up Bannon’s War Room soon on Youtube). I’m following returns only on my Twitter follows.
CNN is walking back the call on Virginia for Biden. Earlier poll trackers pointed out deep blue Fairfax county is underperforming.
One thing that has everyone in unanimous agreement.
It is difficult to overstate the utterly shambolic state of America’s polling profession.
What a joke.

The 2020 Presidential Election Prediction Thread
As I write this post, Trump is still on stage at his final rally in Grand Rapids, MI. It’s well past midnight and he’s gone totally off script… We’re energy independent…we have more oil than anybody… you’re paying $2 a gallon for your gasoline… if Biden got in you’ll be paying 7 dollars, 8 dollars, 9 dollars. Then they’d say “Get rid of your car. We’re going to build some more windmills, kill all the birds.”
270 to win.
