And you don’t realize how much they like their phony-baloney jobs. Now that enough other states have certified, a futile gesture to spite democracy would only piss off the people of Wisconsin and put their own careers in jeopardy.

The Wisconsin SCOTUS and the 11th Circuit are worst case scenarios  
These are two of the most extreme courts in the country and are PACKED with Hyper Trump loyalists. Georgia and Wisconsin are toast.

On Twitter a lot of Trump supporters want to write in Trump’s name in the Georgia runoff and claim it will cause Trump to take Georgia from Biden.
I’m fucking terrified he’s gonna steal Georgia from Biden
 
AHAHAHA  
Oh my God these fucking people have zero braincells  
All this will do is secure a fucking senator from Georgia for the Dems

I got over that panic attack now I have to deal with two because Republicans have filed (Wisconsin) or appealed (Georgia) to two Far-Right courts, The Wisconsin Supreme Court and 11th Circuit Court Of Appeals (Which has an awful record on voting).

It’ll be nice to have a president that reads intelligence reports again, and doesn’t believe a hostile despot over the expertise of his own people.

Friday is sneaking up on us with a new Mandalorian episode. Last episode was fun. The great thing about this show is that it shows how much better entertainment is without politics. No spheres of oppression, Trump, feminism, anti racism or representation nonsense. Just fun. Hispanic man goes to a planet and meets hispanic woman and black man. They go to a base and shoot a bunch of baddies. At the end it shows the main villain, a black man. Not a single white man in sight. (Maybe the blue dude?) And you know what? It does not matter because it is not political but fun! Most fun I have had with Star Wars in 15 years or so. Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau seem to know and care about what they are doing. (Unlike Kathleen Kennedy, the feminist that did not owe those 50 year old white men anything. Check out her great movies by the way:P) I long for the day irl politics are purged from entertainment. Later this week I have to suffer through another dreadful STD (Star Trek Discovery) episode. Dear god. But then comes Friday and a new Mandalorian episode to wash away the awful taste of STD.

Who’d a thunk it that when a petulant manchild with a nuclear button finally gets swept away, the markets react positively?
 
The market was relived that Trump’s quixotic bid to steal away the election has failed, and that there is now some level of certainty and normality coming in his place. Not only that, investors see Biden as the more likely of the two to finally get this virus under control. Every step closer to Jan 22nd will see continuing elevation of the market.
 
I already have enough sell orders lined up in the next month to double my earnings.

Assuming you ignore the fact that it’s set in a universe where the overarching bad guy is (among many other things) a corrupt politician who uses a war he helped create to undercut a long standing republic and service his own rise to power, while also eliminating his ideological enemies in the process. And that the movie that launched the series was arguably a reaction to the politically complicated, real life wars of the creator’s time, as well as a possible commentary on how a battle between a global superpower and ragtag resistance was playing out.
 
But sure. No politics there.

The DOW broke a record today. Over 30,000 points.
People seem to be getting more hopeful about what 2021 will bring.  
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 30,000 points for the first time Tuesday as progress in the development of coronavirus vaccines and news that the transition of power in the U.S. to President-elect Joe Biden will finally begin kept investors in a buying mood.
Traders were also encouraged to see that Biden had selected Janet Yellen, a widely respected former Federal Reserve chair, as treasury secretary. The Dow rose more than 450 points, or 1.5%, to cross the milestone. The S&P 500 index, which has a far greater impact on 401(k) accounts than the Dow, rose 1.6%, climbing to its own all-time high.

“There’s no politics in Star Wars” is a pretty universe-brain take.

Isn’t Kathleen “She raped my Star Wars childhood” Kennedy also working on _The Mandalorian? Pretty convenient to ignore or lambast her role when it’s mighty convenient for people like Silbasa.
 
Also, I love how we’re all taking turns intellectually walloping him.

It was done with utmost care, there might have been a Vietnam protest in there, you hardly noticed it. Today when the identity tribalists gets ahold of it you get the Last Jedi. Oh dear. TLDR: Keep irl politics out.

I am as always in awe of your stunning intellect and quick report. KK is there as a Lucas film manager, not directly involved. That’s why it’s watchable.

There’s FAR MORE real world allegory in the OT and PT than in the ST. It’s not even close. There’s a fucking character named LOTT DODD, the leader of the bad guys is named NUTE GUNRAY (Rea-gan gun-ray). For fuck’s sake.
Politics isn’t just lead characters being diverse.
All this in-universe, and then you straight up have the creator come out and say things like “the Emperor is Cheney, Anakin is George Bush” in the most clear, concise language possible and despite that you have a bunch of jokers who think the ST is the political trilogy.

Holy shit I know that guy! I worked in the same department as him for three years. I’m not surprised he made a fool of himself, but I am surprised he did so in such a prominent way that it reached Derpibooru.
