That's why I kept my blog.

I just made a donation to Kamala Harris' campaign. I need to know if my prior donation to Joe Biden "counts" against the maximum I can donate during the primary cycle. Does anyone know? I am enthusiastic. Good question. She is a different candidate so I would say no. I will be making a do...

The Democrats will respect the Constitution and not pick Newsom as a running mate I assume? Unlike 2000 when Cheney was conveniently determined to be from Wyoming.

Happy Birthday!!!*

I am shocked I tell you, just shocked.

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

The man who has been spreading political violence for 7 years gets to see it's ugly face first hand.

Well said.

Love my Raspberry Pi's..... :biggrin: :snippity: Yes, they are very versatile. I originally bought this RP3 in 2016 to run the weather software but before long I added a portable hard drive and software to to share it on my network.

I got my weather station back up and running this week. I had it boxed up for 4 years since our last move. I have it on Weather Underground by connecting to the internet with a Raspberry Pi 3 micro PC running CumulusMX Linux software. The station is a Davis Vantage Pro 2 wireless. Davis Instruments ...

:snippity: Ahhhhh....... Well...... He's not Jeremy Corbyn.... other than that...... Tony Blair Light with about 12.5% of the charisma...

Around 11 Tory cabinet ministers lost their seats.

Do party rules require a leadership spill after the election?

I don't think the rules require he leave but after this bloodbath he will be gone. He is being blamed for calling an early election.

Jacob Rees-Mogg got bounced handily by Labour. Icing on the cake.

I think Labour is going to beat the exit polls.

Something going under the radar is the SNP has lost 20 seats mostly to Labour. I am not quite sure what to make of that.

So that's STILL 650 individual elections for PM. Those 650 elections determine who gets to choose the PM. What is different is that they are not also voting for dog catcher - so each constituency only has one contest to count. You would think that each constituency could get them counted fairly qui...

I was referring to the prime ministership, not the races for each MP.

It is those 650 individual elections for MP that determine the PM.

Too also: It is easier to project who will have a majority because it is one 650contests, not 51.

Ob. Thanks, Obama Framers.

FIFY

The UK is often held up as a model in counting votes quickly vs. the US. The facts are it is after 1 AM there and 7 of 650 seats have been declared.

Do we need a new thread to follow the UK election tomorrow? I hope the polls are correct and the Tories get their butts kicked out of power. Edit: I have been impressed with Keir Starmer. I think he will make a good PM. Maybe Labour will undo some of the damage Brexit has wrought. I like the way the...

Yes, but in a way it's reassuring to know that they are constantly drilling for serious emergencies.

Well we know they were doing this particular drill. It would be stupefying if they were not preparing for emergencies.
