Who is this guy defending Trump supporters with guns on CNN?
Hope he tells them to assemble on one of the Florida Keys. Giving up Key West would suck - but worth it.Probably be just a blatant call to the Proud boys and QAnon and all his weirdo support. Not even dog whistle, just openly asking for violence.
Rick Santorum is wearing Converse shoes with a suit.
Sounds like my mum is in charge of IT at Georgia's election office.
And now remember Santorum is waaaaaay more loony than he lets on on CNN.If we are into Voter Suppression, we did such a lousy job
How much longer are you going to make me listen to Santorum CNN?! It's been days. It feels like a MONTH.
Hurry the feck up America. I'm losing my damn mind here.
Would be hard to happen, but wouldn't it be amazing if it does? Maybe Trump-cult is gonna be pissed that GOP didn't stand with him and won't go voting on mass, while the Dems will be energized after the win and vote to flip the senate.
The most important race in Senate's history IMO.
A pardon for what? You can't just pre-emptively pardon someone. He hasn't been convicted of anything yet. Has he even been charged? There are investigations.

Trump as next DOF.To think the US elected Trump and got rid of him again before we got a DOF.
Trump should have lost in a landslide. The fact that he didn’t speaks volumes
Trump did not run a good campaign. He botched the first debate. He squandered his campaign cash. His messaging against Joe Biden was unfocused and often incoherent, simultaneously trying to paint him as a radical Antifa-sympathizing socialist and a corrupt corporate establishment figure. At a time when the economy was voters’ No 1 issue, Trump was focused on the emails of Biden’s ne’er-do-well son, Hunter. A campaign that presented voters with a clear and compelling alternative should have easily defeated Trump.
But Biden didn’t offer a clear and compelling alternative. He was a weak candidate from the start, so much so that even some of his allies were worried what would happen if he won the primary. Biden, like Hillary Clinton before him, represented the corporate wing of the Democratic party; he loudly defended the private health insurance industry and the fracking industry from attacks by the left. He ran away from proposals favored by the Democratic base like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. He didn’t show much interest in courting core constituencies like Latino voters (reportedly, the Biden campaign did not consider them part of its “path to victory”, which helps explain the losses in Texas and Florida). Biden didn’t even put much energy into the campaign; at crucial moments when Trump’s team were knocking on a million doors a week, Biden’s was reportedly knocking on zero. His ground game in important swing states like Michigan was “invisible”.
Blaming the voters simply will not do. This is a failure of leadership. Those responsible for it need to be held accountable. Unfortunately, it looks like some in the party will learn the wrong lessons. Even though dozens of democratic socialists won their elections this year while centrists struggled, there is a contingent among Democrats whose solution to any problem is the same: become more like Republicans.
Rick Santorum
Absolute bellend
He has not blindly followed Dear Leader.Even if you're one of the nutters that regularly listens to this show, what has Fauci done to be called a traitor? I mean, what conceivable reason is there? As far as I can see he has remained apolitical throughout the pandemic.
Biden's campaign expected bad results from Arizona at first because of rural counties being counted and for his lead to narrow. They believe he will still win it.Was that expected for that county?
Was that expected for that county?
Are the Military votes going to be Trump Votes? Looks like Biden's lead will hoepfully be big enough to handle that though.
He reminds me of Anton Du Beke from Strictly.Rick Santorum has such a punchable face
Ah well that confuses things for me. The idea was that he could be cleared of all current investigations into his taxes and otherwise but if you can't pre-emptively pardon someone then that changes everything. The opinion I had read seemed to think that that type of pardon was possible. However now that you've said it then I agree it makes no sense to be able to pardon something that hasn't happened yet. On the subject do you think that Biden's government will go after him? I hope they do personally as I wish that Obama had gone after Bush.
The majority I would imagine.
Yep. That's a huge relief. The thought of a D-D-D election result makes me moist down under.That is the best news I’ve heard all day.
Not sure about that. Almost everyone I know who was stationed overseas outside of combat areas at least seems to loathe Trump. Especially the ones who were based in Germany. Completely anecdotal obviously.The majority I would imagine.

But can a pardon be given to someone who hasn't been accused of the crime? Wouldn't the prosecutors just wait until January so that Pence would be out.One of the theories I've read is that he will step down so Pence can give him a pardon. However history indicates that the Democrats are unlikely to pursue investigations against him and he can't be pardoned from NY charges, I believe, which are the most likely ones he will face.
Exactly. People are voting against Trump, not for Biden.Honestly if neither candidate has campaigned at all, we'd still be seeing the same results imo!
