What I cant wrap my head around: why is Trump so singularly obsessed with overturning the vote in GA? Does he not realize that he also needed to overturn AZ and WI to have a shot at staying president? And with all the unhinged, egregious shit he's pulled off since the election, I wouldnt even be so sure anymore that he would win a contingent election in the House.

There's no good reason to think this is the only such call that he's made... it's just the first one made public.

It took a lot of courage for the Georgian SoS to release this call.

Nah in australia we have a lot of wood homes depending on the location, tropical areas prefer wood.

A lot of what passes for “populism” in the current discourse is the most toxic form of elitism: Using your power and platform to feed people lies, and then dishonestly claiming that you’re merely channeling their grievances when they’re foolish enough to believe you.

Millions of Republicans didn’t just spontaneously and organically decide to believe a bunch of ludicrous nonsense about stolen ballots and rigged voting machines. They believe it because the most powerful man in the world & a bunch of millionaires with TV shows told them to.

That’s not to deny there’s a strong demand-side component to this — people believe this stuff with no evidence or ridiculous evidence because they *want* to believe it — but the difference between the fringe theories and the mass delusions is elite endorsement.

Wot. What do you mean you haven't seen a wood house? Like you haven't seen a house with calpboard and Ceder shakes? Or you haven't seen a log home?

Granted I have lived rural most of my life but still. I couldn't imagine living in anything but wood. Brick and vinal look like trash, in my opinion.

When you say made of wood do you mean log homes or a home constructed with wooden studs because the majority of single homes I feel are wood studs still.

As far as log homes go, you see them everywhere in rural living as well as post and beam which is my personal favourite. We built a sizable greenhouse using post and beam, zero nails or screws except windows and doors. All held together using wooden pegs. Beautiful builds.

All homes ive seen are made with wooden studs with drywall on the inside walls and vinyl, brick or stone on the outside. I havent seen many with wood on the outside.
