the best flags are the state flags of Liberia. Look hand drawn by an elementary schooler

Those are fantastic.

Source of the post "... but history has made it abundantly clear that the GOP is more than willing to compromise and “work with” Democratic administrations rather than simply kill bills."

Anyone who believes this line above should be checked into a mental hospital, as this is the most laughable thing I've read in this entire thread.

The bottom right flag is just a field of gray?

It's a visual representation of the collective GOP think tank.

Russia completely pulled out of Kherson. Ukraine’s advancement the past 6 months has been nothing short of amazing.

They should still surrender to Putin, though. It's the only choice.

Eh, I'll give her speech writer that one. If it were anybody else that would have elicited a chuckled around here I think.

AZ Governor still a perfect toss-up, but percentages turning blue - 56% D.

D chances to control the Senate now at 95% (mainly because NV is now 85% victory for D, despite D candidate trailing by 1% in actual voting).

And the November 2022 future President of the USA is Ron DeSantis with 30%, ahead of DT&JB who hover around 17%.

What does FiveThirtyEight say?

What does FiveThirtyEight say?

I think in their updates, 538 people generally agree with the prediction markets:
- that the D candidate in NV gets much greater shares of newly-counted votes
- that the D candidate in AZ Gov race is facing more uncertainty because even though the rural counties are mostly accounted for, the county with Phoenix is quite unpredictable...

But they will not mention percentage chances because that would not promote their "brand".

Dave Wasserman "has seen enough" on the AZ race to call it for Kelly.

John Ralston is the NV elections guru that can explain how remaining votes will align. He has been saying the Dem is likely to win the senate but not governor.

Tomas, he wasn't actually.. you know what, never mind.

I feel like we're in the PDT version of an elderly person watching football who thinks the team scored again when they show a replay.

Why are people so triggered by election odds?

It’s just a goof since they’ve been so wrong the last few elections.

I'm not triggered by it but weren't the election odds all wrong in predicting a red wave a few days before the election? I asked @Tomas but didn't get an answer.

That's why they play the game, baby!

I thought he said it's literally based on where money is being bet

My understanding was that the betters predict who is going to win.

Otherwise, why would we care where the money is being bet?

Maybe @Tomas can explain.

Regarding shyster's student loan boner:

“Judge Pittman’s decision was about as wrong and weird as any federal court ruling I can recall reading,” Tribe said. “He was wrong to decide the merits without first deciding whether either of the two plaintiffs had standing.”
