This is absolutely fucking retarded. Legitimately idiotic. If Trump fucking wins and then gives it up, the right will destroy him. Dilbertman is a fucking idiot.

Trump doesn't have the greatest political acumen but he's Bismarck compared to Scott Adams.

Black pill time: Kavanaugh sided against Republicans concerning NC being allowed to count ballots 9 days after the election. Also, it looks like he gonna spare Obamacare too among other things.

Gee who would have predicted the rapist scum justice would have been a shitty one too

The question will be if he makes a similar decision in PA given that the governor and the courts there went against the state legislature when they made their decision to allow counting far past the allotted time set down by the latter governing body. Also, there's other issues in play than this one as well, not allowing the GOP poll-watchers to inspect the ballots for example.

Both parties are too eager to sabotage the other to decide on an effective election system. It's the reason voter ID wasn't implemented.

The worst part is when you have enough people who are convinced that making sure elections are held cleanly is RACISM

There's also the blatant disregard of a Supreme Court Justice's order.

It looks like Trump has North Carolina anyway (the Democrat in the senate race there conceded and it's called for Trump on People's Pundit). The Pennsylvania ruling is the important one.

Less black pill than you think. Kavanaugh's support hinged on one thing, and one thing only. The board of elections changed the rule, and the legislature said "no". Kavanaugh sided with the legislature, saying it is their constitutional power alone.

 

[Standardized Profile]

And how exactly does she have the right to block that?

National Security Information* is classified by Executive Order, so Trump can simply order all of it declassified. Agencies can argue it's a bad idea, but nothing is stopping him from giving the order, or just taking a Sharpie to a classified document and striking through the classification himself. The agency might also argue the information is still protected from release by statute, so it's declassified but still not releasable. One example would be health information; Gina Haspel's medical records might be classified because of an injury she got during an operation in Ruritania, but even if they were declassified, they'd be protected by HIPAA. Foreign government information might be protected by treaty, which would technically make it illegal to release it, but treaties are broken all the time so that falls more into "bad idea" territory.

On a broader level, people get this idea that the Federal bureaucracy is like a computer or a machine, and the President operates it. He orders something to happen, and the machine goes into action, process the command, and creates the output. It's really not like that. It's a bunch of institutions and individual humans, all with their own interests, and they will act to protect those interests. If CIA corporately or the D/CIA herself decides it would be a bad idea to follow an order from the President, they have lots of ways to resist. For example, they can create artificial disputes about what the order means, have endless meetings about how to implement the order, then officially defer implementation of that order until it's superseded or rescinded by something more to their liking. Some people call this the Deep State, I just call it a bunch of assholes.

Now. British Intelligence has in the past quite literally aided a fascist coup against their very allies (*cough* spanish civil war *cough*) and I would trust Merkel to sell out in literally every single way available to her without failure. So you won't catch me defending either.

British intelligence monkeyed with polling in the 1940s to prevent the reelection of an isolationist Senator so the US would enter World War 2 and help them fight the Nazis. The Roosevelt Administration probably knew about this and participated.

Haspel meeting with Mitch means that she’s the loyalist, doesn’t it? She’s republican and likely to be replaced. I don’t know if CIA is cucked by Obama like the FBI is.

CIA has been at least half-cucked since its founding. The Directorate of Intelligence hires mostly MAs/PhDs from elite universities, which have been subject to the most ideological subversion. The DI knows this and welcomes it. A lot of the their unofficial recruiting material includes phrases like, "I never thought I'd work for the government, I've always been so left wing," or, "I was surprised by how liberal the Agency is."

Well, how hypocritical of you, MAGAtard. You're all for him when he is accused of rape (justly, in fact) by us, but ohhhhhhh nooooooooo, he makes a ruling you DON'T like and now you turn against him for partisan politics. A pity. You people are inconsistent in your philosophy and the only consistent variable is that anything you do always has to be for your cult leader the Orange Man.

That could actually be whitepill. The biggest contention in PA is the fact that the legislature was told "no" when they wanted signatures to match and ballots to be accepted only until 8pm election day.

Its the biggest contention in TWO states, Pennsylvania AND Wisconsin. It's also potentially a core issue in Michigan.

Something to keep in mind about Kavanaugh, he is a firm believer in judicial restraint. He will tend towards the reading of the law and constitution that has the minimum impact on either. This means he is a small wild card in terms of simply declaring Trump the victor, but also has some inbuilt resistance to any changes which would HARM the system. Like rubber stamping Biden's win.

Somewhat reasonable, as the condition was that the ballots were postmarked by Election Day.

Can trump still win without GA?

oh fug, that's actually big. I thought the issues in Wisconsin and Michigan were just the """""""""""glitches""""""""""" and the outright fraud.

That sounds like a good thing in the states where the state legislature overstepped their constitutional bounds and set their own electoral process.
edit: should've written judiciary, not legislature, oops

It annoys me deeply when someone goes "Supreme Court Justice ruled against me, therefore bad". How they reached that conclusion is very important.

Kavanaugh and Alito both get this, but their decisions are in line with their judicial philosophies.

Roberts meanwhile, is an actual weather vein.

Yes, though every state he can get helps.

Michigan and Wisconsin both disallowed ballots past election day. That being said, the issue is not the LEGISLATURE changing rules, its the BOARD OF ELECTIONS changing rules. Legislatures have plenary power, meaning they can do whatever the fuck they please. If the legislature said the only vote they'd check is Bobo The Clown, it'd be legal and Constitutional.

I fucked up and meant the judiciary, but I would have been wrong anyway for those two states.
