whoever predicted trump would weigh in on the recount tonight, massively complicating and polarizing matters, please collect your winnings

Is this after they collect their winnings for the daring prediction that the sun would fall below the horizon?

Modern medicine can keep people technically alive for a long, long time. Years, if the conditions are right.

RBG requesting to be given the Terri Schiavo treatment to keep the seat out of the GOP's grasp would be quite something.

I think most places projected Scott as the winner (and he obviously declared himself such), and Nelson conceded apparently after midnight on election day, but the gap kept shrinking and he's been more overt than Gillum about calling for the recount.

Nelson never conceded. It was misreported.

The fact that we don't know how she's doing in and of itself suggests that she's doing pretty close to fine, all things considered.

She's a supreme court justice. The news'll report on if she so much as coughs funny for the next few months.

The usual way of impeaching a supreme court justice requires a two-thirds majority in the Senate. I think even Schumer can manage to block that one.

They do that anyway, look at West Virginia. They impeached the justices and replaced them with GOP politicians who banned Don Blankenship from running. This was to help defeat Manchin.

I think the concern is that demographic shift is going to make it so that rural states will just permanently lock red.

Ignoring even the possibility that populations can drift left.
