That woman has one of the most grating voices I have ever heard. I have to give Romney a lot of credit for maintaining composure. I would have let that woman know what I really think about her.

We had Holidays up here. Our Holiday tree looked good this year. The word Christmas is banned up here in liberal NYC. I have to use VPN just to post this.

Phase 2. PR needs to get done first and separately.

I know, but he could solve world peace, cure death, and usher in a 1000 year age of abundance and wealth, and Fox will still slam him and GOP voters will still red wave in 2022. You can't have nice things. I just want heroes act, tax reform that puts local taxes in front of federal or salt deductions back if that isn't doable, Medicare option for all, an infrastructure/jobs bill, and PR statehood. I start with heroes act and PR on day 1. Move into the others by summer.

Just wait until you hear Fox explode for 2 years about how badly Biden handled covid, and how he couldn't rebuild the state department fast enough, and how he is giving China and Iran everything they want because we aren't in world War 3, and how he isn't fixing climate change fast enough. He may even be friendly with the EU and want to stay in NATO. We just can't have that. And all that is before we have an industrial accident or two for which Biden will take the blame for not rebuilding the EPA fast enough. At least Biden doesn't wear tan suits. The GOP always turns out strong when a Dem is President. Their media makes sure of it.

Yep. Plus all that pork that Mitch has been shoveling into Kentucky is gonna be up for grabs. Fewer people and less land. You can buy WV hearts and minds for 1/4 of the price. For a paltry 170 billion dollars, you could give every person in WV $100,000. Or you can even get Capito to cross the line if you give the 10 richest West Virginians 17 billion each instead so they can trickle it down.

Perhaps, but if Warnock is carrying Ossoff across the goal line, it also means that Warnock has a much better shot at reelection in 2 years.

Which is how you end up with all grifters on the (r) ticket. If people want (r) control, they want a completely ineffective government that passes no laws and does nothing at all except act to enrich individual senators through insider dealing. Extremists.

People who want the current GOP to maintain control of the Senate are also extremists.

If you are left leaning, but profit from the grifting activities of one but not the other, you may vote for only that one.

Votes for Loeffler and Perdue are extreme. They are both extremists who happily take the nation to the brink of collapse for some real or perceived personal gain. They are extreme Trumpists in every way, and extreme Trumpists are much more damaging than ideologically pure extremists. There are still some Rs that one could vote for without being considered a rube or an extremist, but none are in these runoffs.

If that happens, the DOJ should file trespassing charges against him. The SS doesn't need to go to war with itself. He should be charged like any other private citizen who trespasses on white house grounds. He should also be sued for the amount it costs to set Biden up as President in another location.

Probably, but that's because they don't understand how selfish the average American can be. If you're hacking up your lungs in public, you're already sick. You can't catch it when you already have it, so why should you give a fuck about anyone else getting sick from your germs? We aren't learning a real lesson from covid and aren't getting any less selfish either. A deadlier pandemic would wipe us off the map. If Ebola had a longer incubation period, knowingly infected people would keep on carrying on cuz you can't take their last week of "freedom," and directly kill 100s of other people who would do the same to 100s more each.

aggy almost making the playoffs was the turning point where our overlords realized they needed to patch the simulation before we wake up in our pods.

The 2021 thread could easily be worse than this one. The king will be in exile.

As an example, he found over 62,000 additional votes in Queens County, NY in the middle of a pandemic. Biden had 52,000 more than Hillary. Do I know he committed election fraud? Nope. But I know he complained about Dems doing it. I know that he nearly always does what he complains other people do, be it nepotism, tax fraud, or selling access for personal gain. And I know he is truly surprised he lost even though he knows the swing states were tight. It reeks of "I paid the trainer to make the horse lame. How did he still win the race?"

Perhaps there isn't. But we do know that every time Trump has complained about someone else doing something, he has been actively doing it himself. Why would election fraud be any different? Seriously, there is not a single other time where Trump is innocent of the offense he complains others commit. And it is suspicious that Trump's vote count increased from 2016. His base was just as rabid then as it is now. They all voted then. I doubt there are more than 10 people in the nation that voted Hillary in 2016 and voted Trump in 2020. And there were probably nearly a million that voted Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020. New young voters are largely Democrats. So where did the new Trump voters come from? As for down ballot races, I think there were a lot of legit votes that went Biden with downballot straight R. And those ballots,, plus record turnout could have overcome the fraud at the top. But those closer races could have also been affected and flipped due to fraud even while the fraud wasn't quite big enough to win it for Trump.

They did it this election. Its also why they are shrieking so loudly. Overwhelming turnout surprised them and overcame their fraud.

I've wondered about that myself. I have long fully expected the Trump administration to toss out legit census forms from blue states and areas in the same way he would like to toss out legit ballots. From day 1 of the Trump admin, I've expected a 10 to 20% undercount of NYC, and a similar undercount in CA cities. I overlooked the value of undercounting cities like Houston in red states, but it does allow for increased packing in gerrymandered districts. Would Biden have the power to do it over? And really, even if we had an administration that was interested in an honest count, the pandemic is a curveball that might call for a recount anyway.

The end of NYC is always nigh. But at the end of the day, young finance people don't want to live in suburbia and eat affordable meals at Applebee's surrounded by a bunch of middle class families. They dont even want to live in more affordable parts of NYC or eat at more affordable restaurants there. And people are already tired of only working from home. The fact that all remote work is possible doesn't mean that all remote work is desirable or even reasonably healthy. The solution to the current tax and infrastructure situation is more simple. Pass the HEROES act to balance the budget. Bring back SALT deductions and cut federal income tax to the bone and increase state and local taxes since they are the only ones willing to fund any infrastructure. Our real problem isn't that we are overtaxed by NY. It's that we get zero return on our extremely high federal tax burden. Personally, I would rather pay to fund the MTA and NYC DoE than some Kentucky pork project or a foreign war. And maybe Kentuckians would like to fund their own schools too if FIT is lowered.

What if I told you that snowballs can survive in hell?

Conservatives that I've spoken with expect that Facebook and Twitter will cease all moderation. This is entirely because they don't want their fake news tagged as fake news or taken down. What goes unnoticed is that Facebook and Twitter also take down videos of suicides and murders, child pornography, and all sorts of other things that conservatives and their grandmothers don't really want to see. An unmoderated Facebook is going to be 90% legal porn, 5% cyber bullying, 2% conservative disinformation campaigns, 1% child porn, .9% videos of people dying and/or being killed, and .1% family/friends keeping in touch. Eventually everyone will leave it. So someone else will come along and set up the "original" Facebook offshore which is loosely moderated. The gov't will bluff about blocking Americans from accessing it, and threaten to invade the country where its hosted, but won't do either of those things really. Americans will bitch about how slow it is due to latency, but will use it anyway.

What? You mean we don't have 0 new cases per 100k over the last week? No wai. So we have conservatives up in arms over section 230 because they want to blow up Twitter. Yet here we have Fox News, a bona-fide content publisher already, publishing false content with no legal repercussions whatsoever.

Who even plays on those courts? I don't see Biden having it in him anymore. Harris might but I dont picture her playing at the white house. If it's mostly staff and secret service using it, they should have let them choose what they wanted. I think basketball is better because you can shoot around by yourself still if nobody else wants to play.

Melania is starting to look like Trump. Her facial mannerisms are almost identical to his in that pic. Thats unfortunate for her.
