I actually find him kinda impressive, in a slithery, Machiavellian way...here´s a guy who has managed to slip his overly ambitious fingers into everything from foreign ambassadorship to pandemic response just by Playing the Game...man never gained a single vote and by all accounts has a blank check from the Oval Office.

he is a case study on how the laws have to be rewritten to prevent some other rando from LARPing POTUS.



yeah tho, reflecting on the recent discord in the #EchoChamber made me realize that the most common disconnect stems from two different understandings of the facts that can each be seen as equally valid.

somebody that describes themselves as a hardcore leftist can probably afford to look up and take the long view, see the bigger picture...yes, it does makes so much sense to buy things in bulk, they´re like half price.

similarly, climate change and the resulting food and water insecurity that will result will drive billions of immigrants north...that is a 100 percent reality that I would bet both my typing fingers will come to pass.

¨developed nations¨ are going to have to welcome these people with roses or guns. binary choice, 25 years max.

...and so it makes solid sense for leftists to DEMAND public representatives that espouse these values in everything they do, because the inarguable fact is that ¨socialism or barbarism¨ ain´t just a bumper sticker.

this will become ever more clear over the next 2-5 years.

BUT

somebody with lower standards for a politician (5 or less sexual assaults, 0 recorded Hard Rs, does not eat live kittens) is just looking to solve the issue of the day...the type of people who would buy a single roll of TP.

one cigarette. who the **** buys one *** cigarette?

someone who just cannot afford anything else and just wants the thinnest ray of sunshine in their ****ty life.

¨my cousin´s niece is in an ICE jail,¨ ¨racist cops beat up my dad last week¨ ...¨wolf-at-the-door¨ issues vs. ¨house on a bad foundation¨ issues, and although both suck severely no one can be blamed for seeing either.

in the end, although this crisis certainly flavors the discussion with the urgency a ¨radical¨ might prefer--I did not forget I typed ¨we no longer have time for incremental change¨--both are right and should realize it.

Captain Obvious out. [whoosh]

She ain't dealing with libs and letting them know she won't let you get da Lebron’s without a fight. Picture of her grandson for reference. Yappas are thicker than blood b.

Ousted vaccine director files whistleblower complaint alleging coronavirus warnings were ignored

Dr. Rick Bright, the ousted director of the office involved in developing a coronavirus vaccine, formally filed an extensive whistleblower complaint Tuesday alleging his early warnings about the coronavirus were ignored and that his caution at a treatment favored by President Donald Trump led to...

I don't know who needs to be told this, but a capital gains cut and payroll tax cut does absolutely nothing to help those that are unemployed. The federal reserve actually did a study of the most effective ways of combating this crisis and the only viable/effect solution was increasing unemployment payments which is not surprising as it is the one solution that sends payments to the people who actually need it. Sending a blank check to every: somewhat useless. Corporate tax cuts: useless. Payroll cuts: completely useless. Increased unemployment: moderately effective.

This is what happens when you dribble out the clock at the end of the basketball game B. Our President Elect had a MONSTER GAME WITH 50,000 covid deaths and Michael Pippence chipped in with PPE delays and several key Steals from states trying to acquire PPE and Ventilators.

The Last Dance is amazing and we're lucky to be alive for it. Too bad Joey Biden Krause is going to make this their last season but it's ok those of us who survive covid will enjoy watching the documentary with our kids in 2042.
