    They don’t have time to count votes. They’ve been banging cocktail waitresses two at a time.

    That is a good point, Tucker.

    I'm going to need some ground rules before we all decide to play "Capture The Flag" with real ammo.

    First, is this going to be Crips-Bloods with gang signals to know who's on what side? Because I don't necessarily know what neighbors I'm supposed to blow away -- and I don't want to be caught wearing the wrong colors. I happen to own a lot of blue shirts, so let's not make it that obvious.

    Second, what's the cause we're rallying around? Every war needs a strategic goal. Should I read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu before this all goes down? Sherman burned Atlanta, so that's already been done. I could maybe take over the local Dollar General. It's new and has really good $1 specials. Plus, the beer distributor shows up once a week, although he could be a GOP infiltrator.

    Third, it really would help if we had an organization with planning and procurement. My credit card won't last long buying supplies to keep an army fed. The closest I come to George Washington is carrying around a few dollar bills, so don't expect me to lead a militia.

    Fourth, just because we're all really good at Wolfenstein doesn't mean you get a reboot if things go bad. I've been hit in the head with a loaded pistol. I don't really want to know what it's like when the thing goes off in my general direction.

    Other than that, have fun storming the castle!

    Good a reason as any to remind everyone that Trump lost money running a casino...

    I got a candidacy to run. I gotta kick asses sometimes to make it run right.

    Promised the 12 and 15 year old that if Biden wins PA, we drive down to Geno’s on Sunday morning.

    Like seriously, maumann, what are we fighting over? Taxes? That seems to be it. Because I don't think any of these Trumpublicans actually give a shit over any other issue other than "libruhl tears." Fuck, I should vote Republican considering where I am in life financially, but goddamn, no way with this fucking chud.

    To some of my fellow campaign workers in TN and KY: I resign from the position of proxy for the 53% of white women voters who pushed the button for Trump in 2016 that I have heard about over and over and effing over. When you can sit there and tell me and the friend who sank thousands of dollars into Amy McGrath's campaign and thousands more dollars into legal care and security to be sure everyone had a chance to vote safely* that you didn't bother, excuse him for leaving before he lost his temper.

    You giggling, moronic, lazy, trifling, pieces of shit. You let your mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, great-grandmothers, and baby brothers and sisters stare down sheriff's deputies and racist trash to vote, but, "naaah, you're not going to bother?" Evidently, your life matters more to them than theirs does to you.

    I remember seeing Rev. Jesse Jackson launch into a rant at a group of young people in Memphis when it became clear they were blowing off an election in the late 80's. At the time, I thought he was being too hard on them. Now I get it.

    (Friend) and I regret none of the expenditure of time, energy, and his case, money trying to save Kentucky and Tennessee. We love our states. We just think you're jerks for wanting to be in the middle of something for no good reason and throwing away a right that people sacrificed their lives trying to protect.

    One more thing: Before anyone thinks to boycott beverages from Kentucky, please keep in mind that some of that family money went to keep Amy McGrath's campaign going.

    That’s rhetorical. Obviously.

    Biden's only 39K down in GA now with 254K votes still to come (from Atlanta area); looking good.
