Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Yeah, all of you guys go ahead and flurry. I've got a TON of work to do and study for so I'll be seeing you in the morning.
Oh, and just want to leave this behind:
Even if that trash wins, I will go on. I will live my life here and keep moving forward. I will be the first person from my family to graduate from LSU. I will get my major for computer science. I will become a great writer. And I will do all of that no matter what any arrogant, sexist racist says or does. I will not let ANY scumbag try to hurt me or push me out of my home, regardless if he's got the highest political position in the United States. If he wants to try to get me out of my home, all I have to say is: try it.
That is all.

Oh God! Natural light!

She did get Illinois, CBN says.
Also a bit of an ironic commentary that the first people Trump insulted during his presidential campaign (Mexicans) may have the last word yet.
