But you'll own the libs by buying it!
When I needed to get a mobile power bank for some reason a couple of years ago I did some searching. The one I got, which included a solar panel for trickle charge and, for some reason, a compass and lights and a rugged casing, was like $30 and had like 24000 battery power units.

There was also the visibly identical TACTICAL PATRIOT POWER one, which had 8000 battery power units, didn't have the compass or solar panel, and was $59.99 (marked down from $64.99).

in general, the election would be kicked back to the states to resolve whatever issues Congress had with it, with a temporary executive sorted out in the meantime; possibly just the previous president in an even more lame-duck scenario than he was already in.

the house decision happens if there is a certified election wherein nobody wins a majority/nobody gets to 270. simply refusing to certify the election and going thanos "i'll just do it myself" is textbook subversion of the will of the people.
The problem I think with a lot of doom scenarios is that most of the people in charge of the military are not interested in seeing procedural tricks happen to hand Trump the election if he loses by like twelve million votes and 69 EVs to Biden. And despite the stern, certain knowledge that Tuberville would definitely succeed in leaving a power vacuum open for "TRUMP" to fill, he didn't and the officers are now presumably all or mostly normals, appointed by Biden.

Is Mark Milley still in the military hierarchy somewhere or did he get farmed out to Book Writing Town?

yeah the joint chiefs hated his rear end when he was president and i can't see any reason to think they like him any more now that his cronies spent an entire year making their lives harder and military life shittier for exactly no reason whatsoever.
I think some of why the Rs bitch so much about "the woke military" is that they realize the military, drawn from a lower-class-tilted cross section of American society, would probably be happy to drone strike Donald Trump if he wanted to call on them to turn blue-state cities into a bunch of Fallujahs.

We are probably approaching a situation where more Americans would prefer rule by the "WOKE" military to that of "TRUMP." And that, on several levels, is a lol.

Is it just me or does $370 million not even sound like very much? Maybe it's because of Alex Jones and Fox News getting slapped with billion-dollar judgments and not even blinking.

He's calling it a "fine" and a "charge" lmao. Like whoopsy poopsy, sorry officer I'll drive my company a little slower in school zones from now on
What's the origin of this fine total? Is this New York taking his building?

Also, these judgments will never be emotionally satisfying, because these people will never have the public breakdown and repentance that people hope. Just completely excise any hope of changed explicit behavior (as opposed to, say, avoiding particular forms of being an rear end in a top hat) from any of these judgments, imo.

My understanding is that the congress that does all this election poo poo is the new congress, not the old congress. There is a very good chance that even if Trump squeaks out a win, the House will be Democrats, which presents a certain comedy option

Seriously, I don't understand how it shook out that way. The only real answer is there's a lot more heartless assholes who thought it was great and it so deeply overstripped everyone lost by Trump's actions and COVID deaths. And that's a whole bunch of negative emotions, but perhaps the largest one is sadness.
He got 12 million more and still lost, lmao.

My best guess is that the tendor of the times was playing in his favor there. Things may seem less apocalyptic now. And he's down to middle school auditoriums.
