President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yawn. He tried the same in 2020 in the courts and batted a smooth 1-for-61. This time he's hoping for local boards to withhold certifications, but the same outcome will result. If we're lucky, it might result in some down-ballot Pubes also missing certifications, like almost happened because of one rogue county in New Mexico in 2022.

The way I heard it described is that however easy they made it to sign up for something, it needs to be the same process for ending service.

In Texas, a "county judge" is an executive position that is equivalent to a "county executive" or similar title. It's an archaic term. Think same is true in Arkansas and several other states.

Just speaking of Texas, a blue county is more likely to have blue officials and vice versa, and all the big counties are firmly one side or the other. Where the rubber meets the road is when a big suburban county like Denton flips blue, which is very possible. The election could be close enough where that county holds the outcome for Texas.

Crude oil prices have been divorced from ordinary supply and demand rules since before W was cutting brush in Crawford. All it takes is the whisper of a hurricane or a wayward jet over Iraq to send prices spiraling while Big Oil pockets the money grinning widely.

The Saudis tried to put the U.S. frackers out of business by cutting prices to rock bottom in 2014.
