Betting markets can be swayed easily by wealth, sure. Another bias is that they're overwhelmingly frequented by young men.

Horrifying, get out and vote and bring as many friends as you can.
Two days from now timelines are going split. I don't know what will happen in both, but I can tell you for sure I'd like to avoid the timeline where Trump wins. If for no other reason than all the bad breath this single choice will cause.
Even just a panicked 911 call followed by a huge bill you aren't insured against. What a disaster that could be for someone.
Another argument against zero tolerance policies.
I mean yea, non consenting chemical alteration of someone's mental state is a messed up thing, accidental or not. For someone not expecting it, or not used to it, you will likely think you're sick. That could be distressing. It could be dangerous if that person were, say, headed off to work (nurse, doctor, crane operator, taxi driver, office worker on commute), or had been avoiding cannabis due to family history of psychosis, or has a damaged immune system and now fears they've caught something, we also feed pizza to kids.
Most probably nothing grim will come of this, and the jokes are fine I think, but we all should understand that this is serious.
What if I want to get sick?
Anyone else would already have been sentenced. Lady Justice clearly peaked out from behind the blindfold.
Loss of life would be tragic, of course, awful. I think people could be put in the very real, very dangerous situation where they've been abandoned by the captured court, and the fascists are installing themselves on a perversion of the law, and the freedom of all Americans is at stake. Not just freedom, like we've seen with abortion bans, and increasingly violent rhetoric, it will be lives at stake.
When you've been put in that position what can you do? The courts won't care, the republicans won't care, and if they take over like this it will be permanent. Dark fucking days ahead.
And let's not pretend a coup in America wouldn't have ramifications abroad either.
An actual coup like this would deserve an actual counter coup in response. Whatever form that takes.
I forgot about the unironic "hide your power level" Chan shit.
Big tough guy sucker punched an old lady. Trump would be proud if it were possible for him to give a shit about anyone but himself.
