I refuse to watch cable news, don’t have regular tv, and not a fan of visual media for news anyways. I would love something like a Lemmy/reddit mega thread where I can refresh and get up to the minute updates, but from professional news/journalists. But without the faux drama reality tv stuff that the cable news networks always do. I also love podcasts so if there’s a listening medium that isn’t overly dramatic that works too. Any suggestions?

I'm 99.997% certain we're going to see Trump V. Harris.

In that case there's 100% chance Trump would be the president.

That depends entirely how this all plays out. Its too soon to say. If his only defense is "just look at them" then I don't think the SC would go for it, especially if Harris wins decisively or even in a landslide (highly improbable).

Do the dems win the senate and house? Are immediate impeachments on the table?

If there's any ambiguity though (think hanging chads), then yeah Trump 100%. I just think the SCOTUS is filled with cowards who want a veneer of a lie to hide under.

You just have so much more faith in the Integrity of the Supreme Court than I do. I have no faith whatsoever. I've been following their movements the last few years way too closely to have any respect at all for their discretion or good judgment. They've shown time and time again that they have no sense of reality no sense of consistency and no sense of justice. Evidence is made up and ignored at will. Precedent is enforced or ignored by their whims. The narrative history of our entire nation is up to how Samuel Alito feels on that particular day. There's no doubt in my mind that if in any way whatsoever the Supreme Court gets a hold of this thing they will find in favor of Trump no matter the circumstances or evidence.

Well, looks like it won't even matter. The world is doomed.
