2020 USA ELECTION!!!!
But Republicans have lost the popular vote 7 of the last 8 elections. There clearly are not as many as you think, It's just purely down to the way districts are drawn up, which happens to play into republican hands with so many podunk small population states getting as many senators as larger states. The system down there is horribly broken and gives the minority a path to unchecked power which they are using to solidify the advantages in their favour. Republicans are the vocal minority no questions asked. The difference really is that republican voters go out and vote every time and a lot of left leaning people just sit at home because they don't have the ideal candidate.

Yes it is. Once the polling showed a close race people started hoping, but no one seriously thought Texas was in play. Like I said, the excitement comes form the fact that Texas is moving away from being a Republican stronghold into something that might be in play.

Texas was never flipping, the story is a long term one, and that is that Texas is moving from red to purple.

2020 USA ELECTION!!!!
Republicans are the vocal minority. You can disagree all you like but voter supression and gerrymandering are a real thing.

2020 USA ELECTION!!!!
See if people vote then the massively unpopular republicans wouldn't ever win. So when you do get control you close polling places in democratic areas, and you change voting districts to favour the unpopular party. This has been a long time in the works. Gerrymandering and voter suppression are how republicans win. THat is the only way.

You think that Trump wanted a winner declared tonight for funsies? This is exactly what was expected. Republican lead on election night, a pile of absentee ballots from democrats to be counted. The republican party is very good at making sure their votes count and that democrats have a hard time getting their voters out or their votes counted. The entire plan was voter suppression. What I think though, is that as many conservative judges as there are out there, a very large majority of them still hold the law in high enough esteem to not play Trumps game. Now obviously 2 of his lackeys on the supreme court will do what they're told, but the rest of them? Not as likely to just give this lunatic what they want. Polling is not that flawed despite how much republicans will yell about it, and people don't turn out in such numbers to give a controversial candidate another mandate. If it is somehow decided that Trump wins then it is absolutely because of rat-******* by the republican party. Mitch McConnell was never in any danger of losing his seat, and Lindsey Graham was never a long shot. Texas was not going blue just like that. It's the fact that some of these races were close that is the story.

2020 USA ELECTION!!!!
Everyone knew that it would take a landslide for democrats to make a close race. Republicans work very hard to play silly buggers and keep people from voting. Wait until everything is counted before freaking out. There are a lot of tight races. polling is not completely random these days, bug voting turnouts don't happen for incumbents generally. If Trump wins it is a dirty election. That is what the Republicans go for. Country is gerrymandered to hell and back.

Yeah those two have done a fair number of games together and I agree they're a good tandem. They just seem to have some chemistry on air. My only beef with Gord Miller is sometimes he acts like the colour commentary in addition to the PBP.

2021 (??) CFL Season
If they can make a case that they can do it safely I see no reason why the government won't make an exception. All of these laws are pretty subjective anyway.

No. terrible idea. You have a HUGE universe you can play in with Star Trek. just make something with new characters that stays true to the older series and people will be happy. Make it good, not a quick cash grab.

Work with the governments to get an exception. They will actually have to get off their asses and come up with a concrete plan though.

2021 (??) CFL Season
I don't see why they can't play with fans in the stands. Most of the stadiums are outdoors, just limit capacity and spread people out. The biggest challenge is testing players and coaches and staff to ensure the teams remain healthy.

He really should have owned a chain of theatres. He is a master when it comes to projection. Good rule of thumb, if Trump accuses someone of something he is guilty of it himself.

He did the right thing initially, much to the surprise of everyone but ever since the first re-openings he has been total right wing dor knob, including picking fights with AHS.

Honestly, the fault lies with people. Too many socializing and not taking precautions.

I don't want them hiding, I want them branded with a big T on their forehead so they can't hide from their shameful display. I want the same for people who supported/support Jason Kenney here in Alberta. You back a lunatic who wants what is worst for society you don't get to distance yourself from it.

But the senate ultimately controls what gets passed and what doesn't. In order to undo a lotnof the damage that is done you need the senate too.
