Coffee Talk: 7 Words You Can't Say to Jack Johnson

Uncounted votes allegedly found in Michigan county after software error

“This is why our election system has checks and balances,” an attorney for a candidate said.

It's okay, it *only* happened in one small county. Everyone else who uses the machines and software from the same company didn't have the problem.

Yet another nothing no consequences for their actions ruling. We know Judge Roberts won’t care.

Earlier tonight I talked to a guy at a brothe.....let's call it a bar, who voted for Trump. He's now upset about what he learned about how tariffs work. He's mad the Republicans lied, but blames it on the democrats for not better explaining how they were lying before the election. Fair point.

Also I just became a Yankees fan, give me 4 or 7 hours and I'm going to post how they failed each and every one of the last 20 years.

The government you elect is the government you deserve

Ronnie Raygun ran and won on a platform of "the government is broken and can't be trusted - but I can fix it" and then got into power and made it exponentially worse to the benefit and glee of the rich and powerful. It's maddening to see people STILL falling for it. My parents were in their prime years during Reagan's era. Now their grandchildren are voting and the same schtick is still working. You would think that at some point, SOMEONE would have noticed that the culture war didn't fix anything and nothing trickled down but shit. But I guess in order to notice something like that, you have to look outside your favorite podcaster's bubble once in a while. And too many are unwilling to, because to them politics is sport or fandoms. I can't like that, because I said I like this. Nothing else matters as long as you are wearing the right color jersey at the final whistle. I actually like a lot of what Republicans claim to be for. More decisions in the hands of states. More accountability for how taxes are spent and giving people the control of how their taxes are spent. But what they say and what they produce are often miles apart.

And I would point out that while UK did topple their "establishment" government in a landslide it was only after the electorate was duped into a heavy right ideology and got their noses sliced off with Brexit. They believed the rhetoric (and a lot of the same "government's broken and only I can fix it" garbage) and every single British subject suffered greatly. This election was a manifestation of having learned that lesson.

US and Canada are just a decade or more behind and have some hard lessons to learn yet.

Reagan was a fan of migrants...at least.

I'm a little giddy, in a perverse way, to see how these morons deal with the votes/decisions they've made, to ruin their lives

Me too. The only thing that worries me is when things go bad and dumbass gives a speech saying how great he's doing and blames the democrats and/or Canadians; how many will believe him....

All of them because they would rather believe the lie than accept the responsibility of their actions (and for some their inactions)

There is legit evil in their expressions . . They will never be affected by what's to come and they don't care as long as they profit

Yeah, on first blush that is my initial thought as well, but there's a saying that when America sneezes, Canada catches a cold and I fear that the States are heading for a pretty severe economic downturn if Trump implements his economic agenda and that will directly effect Canada's economic fortunes as well.

I don't know how the rest of you guys fared during COVID, but my retirement savings took a pretty big hit and it basically took four years for me to recover what I lost. I'm at the point now where I think I'm going to pull everything out of the market and just go the GIC or bond route and go ultra conservative as far as my investments are concerned.

Someone needs to explain to him that Obamacare is the derogatory name the Republicans gave it to demonize it and fool people. And it worked

He was also a fan of taking military grade weapons away from people. Until he was told he wasn't.
