          You know you're in trouble when your best dictator mate starts denying you.

            If he can't handle an interview for 60 minutes how does he handle meetings with difficult world leaders and dictators?

                Hours ahead of Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation vote, the Supreme Court announced it would consider Mississippi's petition for the hour to hear its 15-week abortion ban.

                Just hours after Barratt is voted onto the Supreme Court, Mississippi has requested the court to review the ban on abortion.

                <insert Futurama I'm Shocked gif>

                Schumer had some choice words about the confirmation of Barratt:

                  It’s so amazingly obvious that the Republicans are going to attempt what they did back in 2000, prematurely ending ballot counts in close-run states, but on a national scale. The Democrats need a landslide victory.

                    That's the thing. Even if the Democrats should win, they still might not. The Republicans are doing all they can to steal this election. And seem to be getting away with it.

                      Of course they are, they're in power!

                      If the Democrats win, they really need to fix this ****. Electoral college, all that jazz. EVEN IF IT'S WHY THEY WIN.

                        If Trump manages to pull off his plan and effectively semi-Dictate America by getting the Supreme Court to save his skin - but loses the Senate in the process, what will 2021 likely look like?

                        You have to assume that if the Republicans steal this in the face of clear electoral loss then they're delaying an absolute devastating impact for themselves and Trump just isn't worth it.

                          It's really convoluted to pull this off and requires a lot of different things to fall the right way, but not impossible. If you're interested in this particular political game, Seth Abramson's podcast explains it in episode 7.

                            Though another lie, this seems counter intuitive given its more likely to be Democratric votes that are sent in and counted early?

                              Not all states are allowed to start counting mail ballots prior to Nov 3rd - there isn't a consistent fedaral law, it's down to an individual state's legislature as to how ballots are counted. The two weeks Trump is referring to is the time it takes to open those envelopes, validate what's inside and register the vote - Trump would rather these went away.

                              It's more likely that mail ballots are bias towards democrat votes and in-person voting skews towards republican voters who believe Covid-19 is a hoax so isn't a danger standing in a queue next to the person coughing whilst maskless.

                                It's really clear from what Trump is saying at nearly every opportunity, that he's gearing up to contest the result, citing, himself, I guess?

                                The question will be if people desert him when that happens. Anyone with a shred of decency will... So most of them will probably stand by him then.

                                Honestly what a wazzock.
