If they try that shit believe me what BLM and ANTIFA has been doing in their chimp outs will look like a cosplay compared to what Trump supporters will do. Also Trump will shut that shit down faster before they crown Harris as President.

There's a contested race for Public Service Commission in my state and there's an interesting candidate.

Incumbent is a Repub who unsuccessfully ran for Lt. Gov in 2018. Challenger is a Dem. Both women. Incumbent is older woman while Dem looks like a Karen.

I was looking at the Dem's website and she did something that is sending red flags to me. So she's all about solar power right? I like the idea of utilizing solar power if we can in some areas but it's not reliable enough for total coverage. She apparently started livestreaming the PSC (which she thinks is evil and greedy or something) meeting via Facebook and got kicked out for it. She did not have permission to do this. She sued and I think the case is ongoing. She claims the PSC not allowing her to stream the meeting is a violation of a state law allowing the public to witness something, but the argument is that the PSC isn't a completely public entity like a city council so they have the right to refuse recording, which they are refusing. This is an "in a nutshell" and TBH I've not looked deep into it.

So from what I gather she did not ask permission, did it anyway, got kicked out, and is throwing a tantrum. To me, that displays a level of willingness to decieve. I have no idea how good her intentions may have been of course, but I don't think this is a good look. This is a Public Service Commission meeting, not a "10 Days in a Slaughterhouse" corrupt asylum or something.
Thoughts?

Public meetings include the same rights as any other public activity including recording.
Solar is garbage, the panels have a useful lifespan of around 10 years (they generate less power the older they are), are made using rare earth elements that are horrible on the environment to mine, generate lots of toxic waste in production, and the panels are toxic waste when they end their lifecycle.

The alphabet networks won't call it today unless voters come out for Trump in an absolute landslide and there's not a chance that late voting will change things. They'll drag it out as much as they can.

I don't think it will matter much because the rest of the country and world won't wait up for them. Riots will start, foreign markets will go down and betting odds will shift in Trump's favor.

Internationals will call it like it is because they have an interest in actually confronting the ramifications of a second Trump term.

If the Dems/BLM/Left begin to riot... i don't know how the media could possibly spin it to make it look positive to even the dumbest people.... because it would look so plainly obvious they are anti-democratic and want to dismantle America using violent tactics....

In some ways if they do riot this could be the end of them, it really could be.

One thing consistent about the Left is a complete and permanent lack of introspection.

They always blame it on white supremacists in disguise. And the masses of gullible NPC lemmings always uncritically gobble it up.

Might this be caused by lockdowns and closed campuses having most students just not in the area? I don't know how open most US universities are but I'd assume there's been a push to close campuses and go online so there wouldn't really be a need for students to actually be near their universities. If their universities are anything like my local ones they acted as voting locations for students and made it very easy to just drop into vote between/after classes, with that gone its probably impacted turn out numbers.

I have a college I can see if I turn my head slightly at my desk and they are open to in person classes.
In Florida they barely had a lockdown in the first place, the entire southern US is the same.

I'd say it's all but guaranteed. Twitter has already said they'll only allow election results from 'authoritative sources' and those 'authoritative sources' have already said if Trump claims he's won they won't believe it but if Biden acts as President following a disputed election they'll accept that.

It's 'heads we win, tails you lose'. They think the only mistake they made in 2016 was ever admitting that Trump won the electoral college vote and was thus President-Elect. Unless Trump wins in a landslide which is not impossible but not likely I'd say they'll still be claiming Biden won into 2021. If they lose in the Supreme Court they'll just refuse to accept that on the grounds that ACB shouldn't have been confirmed in an election year and therefore her vote doesn't count.

Biden's got serious dementia so if they tell him he won and is POTUS he'll believe it.

It won't be the first US election with ballot irregularities and a disputed result but it might be the first where the loser doesn't ever concede.

It's kind of sad really.

You do not grasp just how pozzed international press is. Here in spain since Rajoi changed monopoly laws to make them irrelevant the globalist catalonian megaconglomerate A3Media has literally held a monopoly on news media (outside of rtve, the national TV, which is literally staffed entirely by EU chosen plants since Merkel's men in black forced that shit same year they fucked greece.)

So if the american news call it for Biden, I know for a fact so will the Spanish. hell they've been actively campaigning for Biden and Harris since the primaries.

wouldn't surprise me if the media from the whole EU is just as pozzed. And african and asian media doesn't even have a term for "journalistic ethics" so only media calling it for trump would be russia and south america.

Sometimes but not always. The 2017 coup that deposed Mugabe was fairly bloodless, for example. Mnangagwa just put Mugabe under house arrest and he gave up. Mali this year was also bloodless, where the army just arrested Keita and deposed him before forming a new government.

This would require the army to surround the White House and demand Trump leave or else, though, which is beyond absurd. Ask @JosephStalin about this since he's commented on how the US military don't do domestic coups before.

Yup, not going to happen. The situation here would have to be unimaginably worse before the military would even think of a coup. Also important to remember not all military would be on board with any coup. What if attack pilots wanted to strike something and the ground crews told them to fuck off, their planes would not be fueled and armed? What if military units trying to suppress freedom fighters found half the troops wouldn't fight their own people?

Not going to happen. Any talk of any "coup" is just media wishful thinking.

Vote incumbent. If we went to solar, we would rely on China even more, since environmental laws prevent USA from mining the lithium required to make the batteries for solar panels. One of the laws I am ok with, since lithium mining is one of the most environmentally destructive processes out there.

Aka, more reliance on batteries=more reliance on China. Anything that's not our own oil will make America beholden to another country's interests (it's not a coincidence that as we became more energy independent we were able to withdraw from the Middle East).

Plus ever since the GND I've been viewing any environmentalist that isn't from Washington as a watermelon (green on outside, red inside).
