Nathan Wade's lawyer told the House judiciary chairman that he is like a skunk who complains about a possum's smell.

Fani Willis’ lawyer has told House Judiciary Committee chairman, Jim Jordan, to calm down and take an anger management class.

The letter also suggests that Jordan, a Republican and a close ally of former President Donald Trump, was as hypocritical as a skunk who tells a possum that his breath stinks.

Willis is prosecuting Trump on felony charges of attempting to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election, which he lost to President Joe Biden. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has repeatedly said the case is part of a political witch hunt to derail his bid for the White House next month.

    After everything that has happened, I find it unreal that the orange actually has a 50-50 chance of getting reelected. There’s something seriously wrong with this country.

              Sort of.

              The Permeant Apportionment Act of 1929 has reared it’s head again to fuck us. See, before that little bit of legislation, the size of congress and thus the size of the electoral college, were closer in line with the actual population, making it much harder to win via the electoral college and yet not the popular vote.

                A) 100 years ago. B) there’s no “sort of” about it. You either won the election or you lost.

                  No. That is, at a guess, one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent blurt were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in here is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may Baphomet spank you like you like it.

        Last I saw, it’s slightly under 50% of expected voters, which notably doesn’t include all people or even all registered voters. Worrying regardless though.

          Yeah just depends on the polling. The large pulling aggregators – 538 and Silver Bulletin – both have Trump over 50% to win. It upsets people, so they often downvote the information, but it’s just where the aggregators (and betting markets) are at the moment.

          The discrepancy you’re noticing might be the difference between EC vs national polling. Nationally polling is related to winning, but the EC is what actually determines the winner. The post I’m responding is talking about the likelihood of winning the election not opinion polling.

            Oh yeah, I misread. I came back to this post after I put my phone down and assumed the 50% was popular vote, not victory. Yeah, it’s about a 50% for the EC.
