AP thinks they’re the Electoral College

And disposes of all constitutional law.

Biden defeats Trump for White House, says ‘time to heal’
Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump to become the 46th president of the United States on Saturday…

Biden crossed the winning threshold of 270 Electoral College votes with a win in Pennsylvania.

Let’s take this a point at a time.

1. Biden crossed the winning threshold of 270 Electoral College votes

Not a single EC vote has been cast. As of this writing, not a single state has certified its election result. Multiple states — quite sufficient to shift the potential EC balance — are doing mandatory recounts.

2. to become the 46th president

No, you fucking morons. He did not become president. The votes need to be certified. Then the Electoral College votes… next month. And then Congress must certify the vote. Only then would “Biden” become President-Elect.

Biden — assuming all the previous goes his way — doesn’t become President until he is sworn in, in fucking January next year.

If the AP had any goddamned interest in honesty and accuracy, they would phrased that thusly:

AP projects that Biden crossed the winning threshold of 270 Electoral College votes with an apparent win in Pennsylvania, and will become the 46th president of the United States when sworn in next year.

But no; these biased bastards think Biden became President on Saturday.

Useless fucks.

How very communist of them

The “socialist” Left-wingers are making lists of people whose political opinions oppose their own. They paln to hold them “accountable.”

Leftists, Never Trumpers Begin Compiling Lists of Trump Supporters
Left-wing Democrats and Never Trump Republicans appealed Friday for assistance in compiling lists of Trump supporters to they could be held “accountable” for supporting President Donald Trump after the election.

“Democratic socialist” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted: “Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future.”

Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Pol Pot would approve.

This is what they think of you. This what they say they are going to do to you.

Are you going to meekly accept this, and support them? As just one example, are midwest farmers and distributors going to keep feeding these people as they round you up?

Are electrical suppliers — whom they hate just as much — going to keep the Dem cities’ lights on, as they try to shut you down?

Will truckers continue to haul loads into cities that defund the police, turn their interstates over to rioters, and blame you when there’s an accident or attack?

Will left-loathed Mississippi continue to accept train loads of NYC human shit?

Or is time to serious shun them?

Well, I called this election

No, not the winner. I called the loser: America.
I predicted the most corrupt, fraudulent election in American history, and that’s exactly what we got. But even knowing it was happening, election fraud on such a blatant, in your face, “Yeah, we did it; whaddya gonna do about it?” thumb-nosing-America scale is mind-boggling.

Yes, they’ll get away with it. Who is anyone going top complain to, to get it fixed? The courts?

The courts that green-lighted this in the first place? The courts that pre-approved

  • late ballots
  • late ballots with no postmark
  • ballots with signatures that don’t match the record
  • ballots with no signature
  • ballots with no date
  • provisional ballots from people voting in the wrong county
  • ballots from people who can’t spell the registered voter’s name
  • changing voting rules to violate state election laws as voting is already started

I could list more, but you get the idea. The system was rigged to allow the Democrat cities to watch actual voting to see how many “late” ballots they needed to “find.”

America is fucked.


No, I did not vote for Trump. I’m not angry because Trump “lost.” I’m angry that a senile socialist has demonstrated that they can do whatever they.

The “most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

Suddenly Wisconsin found 200,000 Biden votes, abruptly putting him ahead of Trump

Oh, look. Michigan mysteriously found some more mail-ins, and they were 100% for Biden.

Hmm… for some reason, 50,000 more people voted for prez than for senators, pushing Biden ahead.

Meanwhile in Atlanta, Fulton County (Dem enclave) had a weird water pipe break. They assure us that the mail-ins in that room were unaffected, but they’ll have to wait until Friday to give us the vote count. Conveniently, That gives them time for everyone else to report results, so they’ll know how many more Biden ballots to fill out to win.

Fuck this. I’m with my sister who just said she’s never voting for president again. What’s the fucking point of voting if the commies are just going to find more mystery ballots that tip the election their way?

No. My vote doesn’t count.

Elections As Disease?

Via Watts Up With That:

Claim: Disease-transmission model forecasts election outcomes
new election forecasting approach uses mathematical modeling to describe how voters in different states may influence each other during an election year.

To simulate how interactions between voters may play a role in the upcoming presidential, gubernatorial and senatorial elections, a Northwestern University research team is adapting a model that is commonly used to study infectious diseases.

The model treats decided voters as “infected” and undecided voters as “susceptible” to infection. Two “diseases” (namely, Democratic and Republican voting inclinations) propagate through a population, “infecting” (or influencing) undecided individuals.

OK, I think I already see some problems with this approach.

To generate each of their 2020 forecasts, the researchers use polling data from FiveThirtyEight to simulate 10,000 potential election outcomes. At the time of this article, the model forecasts a victory for Biden 89.03% of the time, and a victory for President Donald Trump 10.78% of the time.

So.

They’ve plugged Dem-skewed data (seriously) into a model that assumes undecided voters are unthinking, easily swayed (so why are they still undecided?) zombies who can be persuaded to vote for a given candidate by contact, not by rational analysis of policy. And amazingly, the model almost always says the Dem will win. Surprise, surprise.

Frankly, their mindless voter concept is more applicable to hardcore party line voters, not folks undecided be cause they’re still thinking about. This model certainly doesn’t take me into account.

On the other hand, it may be an excellent model of fraudulent voting, in the ballots dont’t represent thinking beings, but are zombies generated by parties. And while both of the Big @ do it, the Dems definitely go heavier than the Reps.

Plagiarism?

Last night, I watched a movie called Red Planet (absolutely no relation to the Heinlein classic). In fact, having forgotten how bad it was, I rewatched it; I first saw it some years ago. But some things struck me this time around.

I suspect you’re also familiar with the 2011 novel/2015 movie The Martian. Let’s run down some comparisons.

The basic plots of the films differ greatly, but some of the plot elements

Red Planet: Astronauts stranded on Mars, no food, no communications. Finally pared down to one survivor. Everyone thinks they’re dead because they have no working communications. The mothership is going to abandon them and return to Earth.

The Martian: Um… ditto.


Red Planet: The survivors search out an old, old Mars probe and use its radio to make contact with Earth.

The Martian: Yep.


Red Planet: The last survivor makes his way to an old Russian Mars probe that has a return vehicle.

The Martian: The survivor makes his way to a new Mars return vehicle.


Red Planet: The survivor has to strip down the return vehicle to make it light enough to take him to orbit.

The Martian: The survivor has strip down the return vehicle to make it light enough to intercept the rescue ship.


Red Planet: During ascent, the upper hull is ripped away exposing the suited-up astronaut to space.

The Martian: The actual hull plates were removed, but the tarp rips away during ascent.


Red Planet: The astronaut doesn’t quite reach the ship, so the rescuer goes out on a tether to reel him in.

The Martian: Here we go again.


And I wouldn’t have thought about this, because the context and timing differs, but all in all…

Red Planet: The survivor needs power (to activate the return vehicle). He salvages a nuclear battery from a probe they brought with them.

The Martian: The survivor needs a mobile power source, so he salvages a nuclear battery from the fuel processing system.

That’s a lot of parallels. It could be coincidence. Although there are some filmmakers who specialize in rip-offs (Independents Day comes to mind). I thought Red Planet might be one of those; I figured it came out shortly after The Martian.

Nope. It was released in 2000, eleven years before Weir’s novel, fifteen before the movie.

Any one of those coincidences could be explained away as “Well, how else would he do it?” but all of them together is suspect. I’ve never met Weir, but from reading he doesn’t strike me as someone who would deliberately plagiarize. Maybe he saw Red Planet and, like me, tried to forget because it really is that bad. But subconsciously those little plot elements might’ve been still hovering in the back of his mind.

Don’t get me wrong. The Martian is a good story. The film is better written and acted than Red Planet. The plot makes far more sense. And while those elements in Red Planet just sort of magically work, Weir’s character has to work at it, and accomplishes things realistically; why it worked (or didn’t) is explained rationally.

Meh. If it was accidental plagiarism, Weir pre-did his penance for it just sitting through Red Planet. And I’m now probably good to go for entry to Heaven for sitting through it twice.
