My Imaginary GF posted:Let me ask you this, what was the last close race for an executive office where Illinois waited until election day to count the votes? I haven't lived in Illinois for a while, so I wouldn't know. As for everything coming in late, no idea - I mean I figure on its face that the race would look like it's going for the republican before Cook County counts their votes and then it could shift to the democrat pretty hard, but the votes would get there eventually. I don't see why the vote counting may be delayed, but it's not as though votes wouldn't get counted is it?

The freedom to defend America by any means necessary is actually the fifth freedom, which you might remember from such noted historical sources as the Splinter Cell games.

Oh man, I didn't even bother reading the article because I assumed it would be the normal nonsense from Wayne, but no. It's so much better. quote:But the reality is that we may be living in some of the most dangerous times in human history. Does that sound like some crazy exaggeration to you? Well, consider this: Stock up on guns in case terrorists detonate a nuclear weapon in the atmosphere above the US and knock out the power grid!!!

^ Excellent, we quoted different insane parts of the article. I actually just read the article where that pic is from: quote:Imagine your world blanketed by pitch black. You have no lights, no electricity. Phones don’t work. Even the battery-powered radio you keep for emergencies picks up nothing but static—if it powers up at all.

This has been a rallying cry in the nuttier circles for a few years now. As far as I can tell it originated from one of Newt's crazy tech fetishist presentations. It's so so dumb.

One of my favorite ads from 2012 was about an EMP attack. Note the Iranian nuclear sub anchored off the coast of Seattle teaming up with a land-based ICBM from Venezuela.

That clears up something that confused the hell out of me: my hardcore conservative dad suddenly freaked out last month about the possibility of ISIS detonating an EMP weapon on 9/11 and causing the collapse of the USA. It seemed like a bizarrely off-the-wall scenario for him to be worried about and I was wondering where the hell it came from. Mystery solved.

Given the fact he's pretty much gotten away with years of corruption he's never going to stop and it looks like the judge is going to tell those voters tough poo poo and Any backlash is a big unknown though. It's quite likely that the state can drag this out long enough to prevent the voters waiting on their registrations from participating. However whether it fails or succeeds, it's going to have an effect on other voters. Given that this is about minority voter suppression in the South, many voters have personally experienced poll taxes and literacy tests and the Republicans have made their views of black people voting crystal clear. Even with all the measures taken before 2012, black turnout was higher than white turnout. So my money's on the backlash being significant enough to potentially eliminate the intended effect even if it's not enough to push the Democrats to victory.

My very liberal mom is in a book club with friends of hers from across the political spectrum (a few old hippies and also a bunch of members of the Glenn Beck/Fox News crowd). A few years ago they read some postapocalyptic novel where an EMP knocked out all the electronics and the country fell apart and the only guys who survived were the rugged individualists who had all the guns. My mom was kind of worried about the EMP thing after she read it because all the Fox News folks treated it like it a real threat. Then she asked me if it was something that could actually happen and I was like no and then she got over being afraid of it. fake edit: I just remembered the best part, it had a foreword by a certain possible leader of the civilizing forces telling us how big a threat EMPs were.

Well yeah, no doubt FDR had to make some sacrifices, but he still managed to shift the direction of the country very far left. He created one of the biggest social programs in history and he jacked up the top tax rate to 94%. A Hillary presidency would never come anywhere near close to doing that, even if she had a democratic congress.

My dad unironically argued that if we cut the minimum wage, then businesses would be more willing to hire millenials for "job training, since kids don't need the money from flipping burgers that much" and giving them job experience so they can move on to better jobs, and shouted me down when I said that they wouldn't hire people out of the goodness of their hearts if you cut the minimum wage and that they would just pocket the extra change and keep the same amount of workers. I honestly feel insulted that he expected me to take that argument seriously.
