I just watched England fucking DIE ON THE FIELD on the ROAD at the TOP OF A MOUNTAIN for their country only to see this team play like SCARED CHILDREN at HOME with a BRIBE ADVANTAGE

Huge amount of mail ballots returned on Election Day.

Millions.

Election workers can't tabulate those immediately.

They must first scan the ballot envelope to make sure the voter hasn't already voter in person.

Then they have to assess the signature on the ballot envelope to make sure consistent with the voter's past signatures (to confirm identity).

Then they have to remove ballot from envelope, make sure it's not torn or otherwise damaged, and then flatten it.

Then they can tabulate it.

Then they have to adjudicate any stray pen marks, overvotes, or write-ins.

They they can report results.

And they have to document all of this.

Hope this helps!

Thx!

Our hitters at the plate once we have a runner in scoring position.

A Democrat running for office must provide detailed plans on how to fix every issue while a Republican running for office just need to come up with a nickname for their opponent.

This is one of the most psychologically revealing things he’s ever said. Consider that we’re supposed to be his “friends.”

“I don't like friends that become very successful. I like people that are just OK. Even if they're terrible, I like that, too. I hate like when I have lunch with somebody that's really, really successful. I hate it. Because he or she is bragging about how great they are. And I hate that when they do that. Because they stopped me from talking about the fact that I became president.”

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

To their credit, the Founding Fathers always knew a king-like tyrant would one day try to rule as personal dictator and use the powers of the presidency to live above the law. They introduced checks and balances.
But they never foresaw a second branch of government abdicating oath in favor of complicity and grift. And they certainly never foresaw algorithmic media or a citizenry so manipulated by obvious deceit.

Society right now feels like a scaled-up version of when you know you’re gonna vomit but your body is still building up to it

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

AIPAC spent $9 million to take out Rep. Thomas Massie.

Trump megadonors spent another $7 million.

It was the most ever spent on a House primary race—all because he defied Trump on Gaza and Epstein.

NO, billionaire super PACs should not buy our elections. One person, one vote.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

I’ve been asked repeatedly by constituents whether most Republicans on Capitol Hill actually believe in the batshit crazy things trump does, or if they know better but live in fear.

See the below behavior and you can figure out the answer.

@dccommonsense I am always sure to let my technologically illiterate dad know when a new CS drops, listening to your podcasts is probably the only thing he does with his smart phone besides text and call!

[Sir Humphrey 🇺🇦 @bdquinn]

I firmly believe in constitutionally gutting the president's powers because the system has proven we can't rely on it to weed out dangerous people from getting their hands on their modern imperial presidency.

It's just basic risk management now.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Nothing to see here.

[WTFGOP @doggintrump]

I love voting here in CA

Election office notifies me by text when my Ballot is sent to me

Post office notifies me by text when its picked up

Elections office notifies me by text when they've received it

Elections office notifies me by text when it's counted

There's a reason Republicans hate CA, and this is one of them. Ease of voting should be this way all over the country. But republicans know if it was this easy everywhere, they'd never win another election

This might sound pessimistic, but I’ve always wondered why no billionaire has single-handedly funded the halting or reversal of climate change purely for the narcissistic thrill of being able to say they literally saved humanity.

[Mimosa @Mimothekitten]

@hochalicious @friarphilSD Machado’s avg is low but he is top 3 for home runs this season, tied with sheets and only one behind Bogaerts, so I am willing to bet a lot more forgiving of the low avg. Tatis….not a whole lot to be happy about on offense. We don’t need great defense players with our bullpen

[Three Year Letterman @3YearLetterman]

My most socialist position is that all NFL, NBA, and MLB playoff games should be on network TV - kids whose parents can’t afford or don’t have streaming services should still be able to watch

Sit back, take an edible, and think about how "Obama needs $1 billion for a ballroom" would get covered in 2011.

@driscoll1142 @RDeverAfter @JamieBonkiewicz So even if everything went according to plan it was going to cost the taxpayer $600 million? Where was that in the messaging?
