I think that, should Warren or Sanders win the Democratic nomination, the GOP would give Trump the green-light to contest the election results should he lose, regardless of what that does to the country.

Yikes... Biden is tanking.

Along with dem chances of winning the general.

[Troy Loney]

I guess I see a worst case scenario where the Trump campaign would target specific districts, claiming voter irregularity to try and get votes thrown out.

Because Trump would totally wait for the greenlight from the party to complain. He's still dodinting about the election he won.

Trump nor democrats can let the last election go.

I think there's a big difference between spouting off on twitter than doing something like Gore did in 2000.

I don't understand why Sanders/Warren would be different from Biden in your analysis.

Do you think Trump does?

[Troy Loney]

I don't understand why Sanders/Warren would be different from Biden in your analysis.

The political donor class views Sanders, and to a lesser extent Warren, as an existential threat. Bush V Gore was as much of a public relations battle as it was a battle over the vote count. I think the Trump camp would have more donor support to challenge Sanders/Warren than he would Biden. I don't think Trump would respond any differently, but I think a Sanders/Warren win would mobilize the legal vampire class to find ways to get results discredited.

Do you think Trump does?

No, but Trump is an independent variable to this equation. He will dispute the results if he wins.

The leaders of Corporate America are cashing in their chips as doubts grow about the sustainability of the longest bull market in American history.

Corporate insiders have sold an average of $600 million of stock per day in August, according to TrimTabs Investment Research, which tracks stock market liquidity.
August is on track to be the fifth month of the year in which insider selling tops $10 billion. The only other times that has happened was 2006 and 2007, the period before the last bear market in stocks, TrimTabs said.

She learned later that her 16-year-old sister, Annie Farmer, had been subjected to a troubling topless massage at Mr. Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico.

Ms. Farmer contacted the New York Police Department, and said she then went to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, offering to share what she knew about Mr. Epstein and the parade of young women being brought to Mr. Epstein’s houses. Though the bureau has never acknowledged such a contact, Ms. Farmer said the F.B.I. must have had a record of it, because agents came back to her — years later — with questions. She also went to leaders in the New York art world that Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell frequented, and the sisters tried to tell their story to a national magazine.

Quillette editor-in-chief Claire Lehmann insisted in emails to The Daily Beast that Ngo’s exit had nothing to do with the Portland Mercury story or the undercover footage that began to circulate on Twitter last week, saying instead that Ngo left the site weeks earlier but that the move was only made public on Monday.

“Andy actually moved on from Quillette a few weeks ago because he is undertaking bigger & better projects, we just hadn't updated the website and he hadn't updated his Twitter bio until today,” Lehmann wrote.

Asked about the videos of Ngo standing next to the far-right activists as they planned an attack on their political opponents, Lehmann said she hadn’t watched the footage.

“I haven't seen the video,” Lehmann told The Daily Beast.

I just realized that this is the MTV "Real World" couple. having watched both seasons they were in I can't say I'm surprised that she's had 9 kids.

[DigitalGypsy66]

I remember when my wife had our second kid at 34, she was considered a geriatric pregnancy.
