Apparently election officials in Montana are getting bombarded with calls from people who voted early asking if they can change their vote. Unfortunately the answer is no, but I think thats strong evidence that last night mattered and lots of people do vote on election day.

Yeah, but the standard to grant an injunction this extreme is very high, to the point where its hard to believe anything changes after a trial or a hearing.

Yes. But in practice, a temporary injunction means you will win a permanent injunction, especially in a case like this.

Report: Only .00003% Of Things That Happen Actually Matter

WASHINGTON—Despite the sense of importance virtually all people place on the details of their day-to-day lives, a new report out this week from the Pew Research Center found that only three in every 10 million things that happen actually matter. “For example, in the entire 20th century, the only events that really made any difference of any kind were the Holocaust, the invention of the atom bomb, civil rights, and at most one or two other things,” the report read in part.

“Meanwhile, our research found that how much caffeine you drink, your kid’s soccer game, what time the supermarket closes, where you go on vacation, weekend box-office returns, who shot JFK, and your taste in design do not matter in any way, regardless of your level of interest in them. In fact, the last thing that actually mattered at all was 9/11.” Pressed for comment, Pew researchers acknowledged that their new report was not among the .00003 percent of things that matter.

If Gianforte wins despite this then republicans may well take it as a sign that they can be twice as bold about healthcare. They're wrong about that, but they're dumb as dog poo poo so I can see them believing such a thing.

Trump actually refused to commit to article 5. I assume Bannon prevented anyone from informing that stupid bastard that we were able to use article 5 (first time it was used for anything ever) to force europe to join us in unpopular wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Yeah, but the next time it gets invoked it will be to protect the Baltics from the Russians, and Trump already told Putin he could have those back.

Much like how conservative parents state they hate gay people until a beloved son or daughter turns out to be gay/lesbian/transgendered/etc. these folks don't care until it happens to them. See: alt-right folks into weed getting despondent over The Racist Keebler Elf's penchant for bringing back the war on drugs. All chuckles and self assurance until the barrel is pointed at them.

It's a non-incumbent Dem trying to win a district that elected Trump by 21 points where the political backdrop is basically a referendum on Trump's efforts so far on health care.

Moving that needle from R+21 anywhere below R+10 is still a good result for the Democrats and the Republicans will have a hard time doing anything with healthcare.

The only way they'd get bold about healthcare is if the results are like R+15 or higher which would be the ultimate lolnothingmatters result.

quote:


Dean, principal of Crescent Leadership Academy, confirmed to The New Orleans Advocate earlier this week that he was told not to report to work for the “next week or two” after the earlier photos of him appeared online.

....

He told the newspaper he was there for a few minutes as an observer and wanted to witness the statue come down. He said he left after he saw the equipment to do so was not in place.

“I went to see history in the making,” Dean told The Advocate. “And now I am history,” adding that the online post in which the photo was shared was “fake-news character assassination.”

..

In the video posted to YouTube, Dean, who identifies himself as Nick Andrews, is seen wearing two rings often associated with and the Nazi movement: a skull ring awarded to members of the SS and a German Iron Cross. He also held a shield and small American flag.

Dean also appeared on an episode of the “Guerrilla Radio” podcast on a few days earlier. The podcast, which calls itself “The official podcast of The Revolutionary Conservative” was recorded before the so-called “Battle of New Orleans” on May 7 at Lee Circle took place.

If you asked her this question, she'd probably say something along the lines of "I wouldn't let it happen to me, I'm not some liberal crybaby." You can't rely on empathy with this sort of person, only personal experience counts for anything.
