yes but

do nothing + recession = get criticism bigly

do something + recession = get less and a lot of "well he tried"

all we're left with is he did nothing but tweet at governors.


That's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario for him. If he tried to pass federal laws demanding things from the states, he would be smeared as authoritarian on all the news outlets.

I don't think anyone could pay you enough to stop talking. The shit that comes from you is hilarious.

Trust me, it's harder to breathe with fluid in your lungs from pneumonia from Covid than from wearing a mask. Wearing a mask doesn't give any political points to anyone - it is recommended by healthcare professionals that have probably studied for a 1/3 of their life to give you advise on how to live longer and healthier.


You get me one of them sweet N95s they lied to us to protect and maybe we can talk.

Fluid in my lungs would help break up the layers of tar already residing there so I don't see the issue.

Need some of them. But the vast majority of lawyer jobs have been automated already. Now you're lucky if you can get a job where you are locked in a windowless basement pouring over old case files that haven't been scanned yet for your boss who actually does the court stuff.


Paralegals can be automated but actually practicing law will be difficult I think.

Looking like 270 - 268 in favor of Biden, no?

Edit: With PA potentially going blue and shaking that up completely?


PA and GA have an opportunity to turn blue. NC is pretty unlikely at this point.

its not authoritarian to suggest your followers wear masks or stop having parties.

especially because the democrats were already on board and his followers would do whatever he asked them to by-and-large.

authoritarianism = laws/action, messaging is different. related sure, but different.

WEARING A MASKS DOES NOT PROTECT YOU.

you were a mask so you don't spread your germs.



Asymptomatic contagion is a bullshit myth

Contagion is based on viral load

The lesson is to coopt Trump's strengths without his glaring weaknesses. No more embarrassing rants on covid cures, no more inner circle circus, Trump had such an easy job to do if only he wasn't so unhinged.


There's no doubt that some of Trump's policies are resonating and there's no doubt that the culture war is out of control on the left. Both parties need to go back to the drawing board because the GOP isn't going to survive by banking on charisma. I think a more protectionist Haley would be very strong against Harris in 2024.
