    Good night for the bookies in California. Californians overwhelmingly voted against legalized sports betting. Honestly, getting 75% of Californians to agree on anything (except sourdough bread) is virtually impossible.

    Both the 26 and 27 factions spent big $$$ trashing the other, but not enough telling people why they should vote yes.

    Legalized online poker & sportsbetting in CA seem a million years away.

    i think the big problem with this would be how you would instantly alienate 15% of the republican voters who identify as Q-caliber MAGA.

    they wanted to literally hang Pence because he refused to ratify election results. they arent going to vote for desantis because desantis isnt one of them. there arent going to be any compelling ben garrison cartoons about desantis. flynn isnt going to keep doing his christian nationalist g gordon liddy schtick for desantis.

    and where this all makes me nervous is russia literally cant afford to let trump get sidelined, knowing as they do that trump loyalists like MTG are going to cut ukraine aid off cold once trump is in power again. so they will probably resort to literally anything to make biden look weak. and the cycle of fucking around and finding out gets very scary when that math is in the mix.
    Its very simple. Those QAnons arent gonna vote Democrat they hate them too much. Theyll hold their damn noses and vote for DeSantis if hes the nominee period end of story Just like the far left whackers like the Squad having to vote for Biden et al. They arent gonna sit home like a bunch of cry babies and pout because Trump isnt the nominee. Will a few sure possibly but the reality of having to shut the insanity down is going to become a harsh reality.

    I supported Trump like I said. Hes fucking delusional if he believes that shit he posted. Hes toxic at this point. Every election denier running for major office has lost or losing currently.

    I’ll speak for Californians. We’re not against sports betting, but no way are we letting the Indians run it. They’re corrupt as hell. Plus, there’s no real need or demand for on site betting. You can go to Vegas, bet on line or use a bookie.

    This is very correct. Bill maher did a good peace a few weeks ago about how the Republican Party doesn’t stand for anything outside of being anti democrat. So you can nominate just about anyone and the base will vote for them for fear of a Democrat winning. The problem with this of course is you need more than your base to win. Desantis can get votes from both the base and moderates.

    RIght now everyone is on pins and needles about Nevada, and former Micon nemesis Adam Laxalt (now GOP candidate for Senate).

    Both big races in NV are close -- gubernatorial (Sisolak versus Lombardo) and Senate (Laxalt versus Cortez-Masto).

    Lombardo is doing a bit better than Laxalt at the moment, but both lead by 5 figures in votes.

    HOWEVER

    Nevada fucked up their election again (what else is new), and apparently Clark County is way behind counting ballots.

    Laughably, not only does the county have 300+ drop boxes which weren't counted at all yet, they don't even know how many ballots are in them!

    https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1590438970290499591



    What a fucking fail.

    People are questioning why they couldn't have even COUNTED those ballots by now, given that it's been about 16 hours since polls closed. Others complained that they didn't even weight the boxes to get a good idea of what was in there, if they didn't have time to count, for whatever reason.

    Lombardo leads by about 40k, while Laxalt leads by about 23k.

    In addition, there's about 14,500 mail-in ballots which also haven't been counted by Clark County.

    Clark County is a blue county, and mail-in ballots for sure lean even further D, but the drop boxes aren't as blue-leaning as the mail. Still, it's not hard to believe that Cortex-Masto could pick up a win here, if there are something like 120,000 uncounted ballots total, if they break 60-40 for her.

    There are already suspicions that shenanigans are going on because:

    1) People are paranoid about election theft in general

    2) Nevada is a notoriously corrupt state, dating back to its beginnings


    There has been talk for years about the "Reid machine" having control of Nevada politics, referring to corrupt longtime Senator Harry Reid. While Reid retired years ago and croaked last year, some are concerned that machine is still running.

    This is a big deal because the Laxalt/Masto race could determine who controls the Senate.

    It's really down to Laxalt/Masto and Walker/Warnock, regarding whether Republicans end up with 49, 50, or 51 Senators. Walker/Warnock is almost surely headed for a runoff. If Laxalt wins, the GOP may dump a ton of resources into that Georgia runoff.

    I just looked to see if she officially lost yet and she’s only down 62 votes. Don’t know what’s left, but it isn’t 100% reported. Lenny might have to wait for another two years before she joins onlyfans.

    Of course you fall for the bullshit.


    Naturalborncuckold dead on as usual, hope he didn't put up too much of that annual $42k.

    Will be interested to see how Trump spins his reaction to the results. Might be along the lines that this proves America needs him back in order to appeal to conservative voters. He might point out that, even during his "stolen" 2020 election, Republicans did well in House races.
