    Collins has clarified that "not before the election" doesn't mean "not before the inauguration", she's on board with whoever Trump nominates, and will vote for them, just trying to play the other side publicly cause she's down in polls in Maine.

    I don’t think the SC appointment is a done deal. Got two R’s saying they won’t vote to confirm before the election right now. If Kelly holds on in AZ, he gets sworn in in November because it’s a special election so then you’d just need ol’ Mitter to come through again this year...
    I think they're already including Mitt. I believe it's Collins, Murkowski, and possibly Kelly. They need another and I'm not sure who it is.

    As Ponc said, too, this isn't before inauguration, this is going to be one fucked up lame duck appointment by an impeached possibly outgoing president and possible outgoing senate. Think about that for a second.

    I think it's a stone cold lock. They're not going to pass up the opportunity to do this. That's why it's throat stepping the rest of the way any chance the Dems get both chambers again - like I said, all the rules and decorum went out the window when Garland wasn't appointed.

    They need four right now, but would need 3 if Kelly wins and he's sworn in by the time of the vote, which, apparently, is a decent possibility. 

    Regarding Collins, if Trump wins, it's a moo point. But I can see her not going along with it if he and/or she loses...

    All this you guys are talking about is why I think Dems should not be encouraging mail-in voting. Get out and vote in person. wear a mask, social distance and make sure your vote is counted by doing it in person. Best and easiest way to ensure your vote counts.

    That being said I think Biden is gonna win big.  Trump's only path is winning pretty much every major state he won in 2016 and that is just not gonna happen.  If he loses Florida which is really close in polls he has almost no chance to get to 270.  Heck even Texas is tight at this point.  I just don't think there is anyway fucktard has gained any voters since 2016.  And he has lost a lot. I personally know of at least five people who voted for him 2016 who will not be voting for him this year.  I think he will get less votes than he did in 2016 and Biden is going to pull in more non-Hillary voters.  I'm pretty confident to be honest.  Worried a bit yes but I have more faith at this point.  If there is a God...
    I agree with the first part of this. I think mail in should be urged for older or vulnerable people who are not comfortable going out, but everyone else should be motivated to vote this motherfucker out in person. Show him what’s up on Election Day, or before if there’s early voting. 

    I don’t think he’s leaving office. I really don’t at this point and I think the right has the power to keep him there and those shameless scumbags are going to do it

    Agree I think it's a stone cold lock they are appointing and getting a judge confirmed.  And if I read it correctly Collins didn't say she wouldn't vote for a nominee. She said they shouldn't put one up for nominee before the election.  But they are going to put one up and she is going to vote yes and use the logic that although she disagreed with the nomination once it was done it is her duty to vote.

    No she said she is fine with starting the vetting process of a nominee now but that the winner of the election should be able to pick who he wants---meaning if Trump wins, she's fine with continuing the process of that current nominee, but if Biden wins, she wouldn't support Trump's nominee.

    Of course she has flip flopped many times before but she is in the fight of her life, and currently losing. That has a lot to do with her going against her word on kavanaugh regarding roe v wade. Trump attacking her this morning, I think, actually helps her in her campaign.

    I have pretty much vowed to never step foot in Vegas again, but I’m also pretty sure there’s a better than 85% chance I’m there for the first giants or eagles game, hungover as fuck on like 15 minutes of sleep

    Haha, have said something very similar recently. I don't want to go to Vegas anymore, but that might get me back there.

    And none of you nitwits show up at a fucking polling booth if you can help it ya goddamn numbskulls. Its so easy just to apply online. Philly is allowing drop boxes. Just take that shit there. No need to be putting more people at risk than is needed. That said, haha, I'm probably going to be working the polls because I don't want the same goddamn octogenarians spending 13 hours working the line. ANYWAY, we're in a fucking pandemic. Apply for a ballot, it's fucking easy, and relieves the stress for anyone having to deal with the actual imbeciles in line on E Day.

    Yes but she didn’t say she wouldn’t vote when Trump makes a pick and McConnell puts it up for vote. That was my point. She said who wins the election should make the pick but we already know that is not going to happen. I have not seen her say she wouldn’t vote yes when Fucktard and McConnell get a nominee up for vote.  Maybe she has said that since but her original statement never said she wouldn’t vote when a nominee is put up

    Currently in the 8th seed (there's words I'd never thought I'd say regarding baseball) with only a half-game lead on the Giants and Brewers. Three games left against the Nationals, and three against the Rays. Not looking good. 

    Brewers have two games against the Reds and four against the Cardinals.
    Giants have three against the Rockies (who are three games back of the Phillies) and three against the Padres.

    Eagles/Raiders in Vegas is the guys trip of a lifetime. 50% chance I make it home alive. 

    Also, I generally do not like any of these new stadiums, but the Raiders one looks cool as hell to me.

    Hey I have money on the Phils to make the playoffs, so asterisk or not, I'll take it. Plus it'd be nice for these guys to get some postseason experience, even if it's in a wonky best-of-three series with no fans that they'll likely lose.

    You guys will take 2nd place. The Marlins have the Braves who they have a hard time with and the Yankees

    Maybe. Miami's only one game ahead. But lord knows what the Phils might do in their games.

    I've got over 30.5 for the win total. Don't really see that happening at this point.

    The whole season is a big o'l asterisk to me, regardless, though.

    Oh well sure it is. In some ways, even the ‘94 season is more legit. Nevertheless, they are playing so I’d like to see the Phils go as far as they can.

    Frustrating team. I laughed in the second game when Kruk was bitching/complaining about the stolen base that was called back cause when Bohm hit the catcher on the helmet with his bat. Stupid rule. Hopefully Phills win second game of double header
