on what Rol said, it should be realized that Trump is the most recognizable and obvious case of a grandiose narcissist in our time.  They probably have put his picture in some of the abnormal psych textbooks for that disorder.  Also, losing for them is more than a bad thing, it defines them as a bad person and so they don't just go on with their lives, they lose it and can become erratic.  

Great read. Scholz isn't failing only the Germans.

In a normal country this wouldn't matter, but in Austria we have the messed up situation that the conservatives are not only willing to enter, but would also most prefer a coalition with the far-right. They have one condition though: The current leader of the far-right has to stay out of government.

I doubt that nutjob will budge. The amusing thing is that the conservatives and social democrats combine for the slimmest of majorities: One seat. So there is a quite easy way out of these election results, although another option that has been thrown around is that the conservatives and social democrats could add one of the two smaller parties in a three-way coalition for a more reliable majority. Doesn't sound good, because the more parties in a coalition, the harder it will be to come to agreements.

Anyway, it's expected to take several months until Austria's next government will be finalized.

It's hard to know the distribution. There's not a ton of reliable polling data in places like Oregon, California, New Jersey, or Mississippi because we already know who is going to win there, and frankly, nobody cares if Trump is going to win Kansas by 20 or 25. 

Whether we extrapolate from the popular vote or look at the swing state data, we get to the same thing, that Harris is winning by a very very small margin. Of course, a win is a win, but due to the limitations of polls, it's hard to predict anything with confidence. 

Trump's election interference case got a ton of new evidence and tidbits released, but nobody is talking about it here. I guess it's because we all know how little sway it will have despite there still being undecided voters.

I just couldn't be bothered to read it, Lol.

Idk if there's anything juicy in there.

Lul.

I am not going to read it either because it's 165 pages. The media is still dissecting it too, but it's apparently filled with admissions by Trump that he knew he lost, but proceded anyway. The gist of it is that if Trump loses the election, the case will get in court and he has no chance to win anything there because it's such a clear case of criminal intent.

The documents just kind of show that tons of people around Trump told him that he lost and that it was pretty clear Trump knew he lost. Which should hurt him, except for the fact that anyone with two brain cells to rub together already knew that. 

MAGA has so many grievances with diversity, LGBTQ rights, civil rights, abortions rights etc; Crazy they have no grievances with a convicted felon, insurrectionist, and a man who lied straight to their faces regarding losing the election.

Party of Law & Order.
