Apparently illegals are refusing to send in ballots, believing Trump that they will be deported. That is fucking awesome.

I remember last election where Republicans were winning, and than truck loads of "harvested" ballots came in last minute and flipped every election. They got really "outplayed".

HeadSet says

ONLY massive voting fraud with mail-in ballots can change this outcome. Which I predict has a 75% chance of happening between now and when 'all the votes are counted'.

"Vote Mining" as well? Would be funny if illegals voted for Garcia because of the Spanish surname.

Once again, Spanish mutilators oppress the Indians.

Maybe folks just wanted a clean break from the party of their previous representative.

I already assumed that was happening.

BOOM! Wisconsin Supremes rule Gov does not have the power to implement shutdown without consulting Legislature. Immediately invalidates shutdown - way beyond what plaintiffs asked for.

If you believe that two planes can cause three steel framed buildings to utterly collapse into their footprint, that's your willfully ignorant decision.

I guess I'm ignorant as well!

World Trade Center 7 a 53 story steel framed building fell down at 5:30PM on 9/11/2001. No plane hit it.

I heard on the radio today that grocery prices had the biggest one month increase in prices in April since (not sure either the depression or WW2).

2 point something percent, one month increase in grocery prices.

So that must mean other categories were dropping hard.

Don't worry. They will surely find a way to screw over responsible people / savers. Hell, look at what recently passed!

Good. Fuck that fake market.

Can't get it made in America if the NIMBYs strangle all abilities to compete!

When you have one state with a sensible leader like Governor Cuomo who states he is reopening the state based on COVID-19 infections and hospital capacity, and then you have a nut like Mayor Garcetti who is doing quite the opposite by locking down the city for the summer, then this is what you have as far as an economy on the verge of destruction.

Garcetti is just trying to jockey for a cabinet level job in the Biden administration by doing this. Cuomo cares too much about New York to play that game.

This is exactly what it should be. Now each locality can decide on its own, and not a "one size fits all" for the whole state.

CPI is currently based on these approximate percentages:
40% housing
15% food
15% transportation
7% medical
The rest on clothing, entertainment, etc.

"Factory furloughs across the U.S. are becoming permanent closings, a sign of the heavy damage the coronavirus pandemic and shutdowns are exerting on the industrial economy."

There, fixed it for you.

Barr is now stalling so that all of the scumbag Judges can take a crack at exposing their criminal use of their office.

It's going to be a long train and a glorious perpwalk of every no good commie son of a bitch in Washington.

The sheriff in a neighboring county in IL just put out that he cannot enforce JB no neck Pritzker's executive orders regarding the shutdown. Said it's not law and therefore cannot be enforced by police. Said he wouldn't be breaking up gatherings as it's not an illegal infraction to have gatherings regardless of the number of people.

The dam has cracks and is about to break I think. Good riddance.

"US consumer prices declined for the second-straight month in April",

Sure beats April, 1974's yearly average of 10.1%! For all of 1974, the average was 13.5%

"Media outlets are called to social distance themselves from the truth, suppressing any good news and positive things Trump is doing." Seems to be working.

Those powers were not allowed to be given to CA Gov by the CA Legislature. The Legislature doesn't get/understand what they think they did is unconstitutional and thus null and void. That's the beauty of a Constitution. It is rules that have to be followed, and can't just be changed willy nilly, without a large portion of the people agreeing to it.

All I know is I might take a drive up to Wisconsin and get a burger, beer and some cheese curds. These state supreme courts are going to start overturning this shit left and right. Or businesses are just going to open up and say fuck it, we listened for a couple months now and we know what the problem is, it's not us.

OccasionalCortex says

ere me, and hear me well: There will be no REAL cuts. But the media will spin it that way.

In our Great State "cuts" usually mean that we give up unfilled positions for people who actually work, e.i. staff and faculty. Administration is never cut.

This is nothing that a 30 percent increase in taxes, fees, licenses, regulations and fines can't cure. Why are they so worried?

Now watch us find out that Covid-19 virus lives on latex for two weeks!

LOL nothing but old people, DGAF and know this has all been hoaxed as fuck.

Just wait til the decoys ping guys with RealDoll homing reflexes and they proceed like zombies to the humping stations with their hard ons.

Old coots will wish they were in intensive care hooked up to ventilators and IVs with Covid rather than be in that restaurant.

Does that number accept dick pics?

Globalism was a failure, the ones that reaped the most were the financiers and investors.
It was a closed loop Monopoly of every sector, indices and vertical.
Sure it could be argued that employed a greater number of people worldwide. But it was employment without room for upward mobility.
There was no dream or hope to save up a few bucks and become a global supplier, manufacturer, or corporation. Unless you could generate enough buzz on Wall Street to go public and have the billions it takes set that up. All we can do is gamble our money in the Stock Market and invest in those companies. Which determines you to have a vested interest in that company succeeding and not having competition. Sure we could invent the Cronut but how many can you sell before the fad dies?

Globalism has been all about people cheering Warren Buffet every time he makes another billion, it's been like watching a sports team. No athletic benefit to the observer at all.

They need to be selectively bred, and aptly be named the "Groidunter" breed.

How many Democrats voted for that?

Industrial metals like copper are all down. Copper per pound is around $2.41. It peaked last around January 2011 at $4.58 per pound.

B-but my resource scarcity and civilization collapse!

I was looking at commodities. In general they all went up or peaked in early 2011. That tells me a lot of that was due to Federal Reserve policies and fears of inflation.

I wonder if commodities will run up again over the next couple of years due to Federal Reserve policies such as it buying at least $4 trillion in Treasury notes and corporate bonds.

The SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND says:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.

No matter how the Senate votes, Dem or Repub, there is no way this would pass a Supreme Court test.

Corrupt retards from both parties voted for it.

The US Senate has voted to give law enforcement agencies access to web browsing data without a warrant, dramatically expanding the government’s surveillance powers in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The power grab was led by Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell as part of a reauthorization of the Patriot Act, which gives federal agencies broad domestic surveillance powers. Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Steve Daines (R-MT) attempted to remove the expanded powers from the bill with a bipartisan amendment.

But in a shock upset, the privacy-preserving amendment fell short by a single vote after several senators who would have voted “Yes” failed to show up to the session, including Bernie Sanders. 9 Democratic senators also voted “No,” causing the amendment to fall short of the 60-vote threshold it needed to pass.

Excuse me, Jo who?

I have been saying since the beginning that there will be a brokered convention.
What is getting more obvious as the time approaches is, if there was anyone suited to fit the bill that could unite a large swath of the voting base to commit to the Democrat ticket.
That person would have thrown his hat in the ring a long time ago. Look at Mike Bloomberg, he thought he was a shoe in, right? Couldn't get three people excited about him.

There's going to be a brokered convention there's no doubt, Biden will never be the nominee. I don't think the person they will chose is even on the radar yet.
It wont be any of the floaters vying for the VP spot nor any of the defeated primary candidates.
