    This bingo game might make it more palatable as well.

    Geezus that was pathetic. He might as well just pull his pants down and ask for 10 spanks as well. What a groveling piece of junk.

    It's a matter of whether or not half the country accepts a potential Biden victory or throws a tantrum and tries to burn down half the country.
    Fixed that for you.

    And that is precisely the reason why Trump's little "game" is so potentially destructive to our democracy. At least Republican leadership is (sort of) repudiating Trump's lunatic ravings on the matter.

    The problem is that there is actual precedent for one half of the country not accepting the results of an election and spending the next 4 years in a giant, whiny, hissy fit. See 2016-present. If Republicans want the playbook on not accepting a duly elected POTUS they'll need to look no further than the recent past. Remember those hilarious PSA's that the left put together using celebrities to urge the state electors not to certify?

    I pray that if Trump loses, that republicans don't spend the next 4 years doing sophomoric shit like that. The left had a great chance to push through meaningful legislation over the past several years and they wasted it because they were butthurt over an election they thought they had in the bag.

    I agree with the first paragraph. It was ridiculous, but the candidates weren't really leading the charge or stoking the fire.

    What "great chance" did the Left have to push through meaningful legislation? At last count there were over 400 pieces of legislation that the house did pass, but that the senate never voted on. As angry as everyone is over the Supreme Court nominee, it wasn't that. It was literally everything. It was made clear to the Left that, in fact, they had no chance to pass anything, or debate anything, or compromise on anything. They just weren't going to call it for a vote at all, and if you don't like it then tough shit.

    So, to repeat what I said earlier, if Biden wins and the Dems get control of the senate either now or two years from now, then don't be surprised if they go absolutely nuclear.

    I want to be the moderator at one of the debates, but with a button hooked to a horn like you have at NHL games when a goal is scored. When the candidate strays from the specific question or topic, the horn would sound and they’d have to get back on topic. They’d be deaf in the first 10 minutes.

    You need the buzzer from Family Feud to do that.
