this is exactly right. the reality is that by November, while we will still be dealing with Covid, the worst will likely be behind us and Trump's complete incompetence in handling this crisis will all be forgotten by most. just like everything else has. he'll be re-elected, and probably fairly easily.

a strong argument can be made for that being true of every Republican officeholder in this country. and everyone who votes for and supports them.

i think its funny that 2+ weeks later there are still 2 different sets of conversations going in response to the same question

keema with peas and fresh mint; parantha *damn, must have chipped the bowl in the dishwasher

just looked at their menu online and thought, holy shit, how have i never been here? i want to try all of this. will be giving this a try this weekend.

Check Out This Fucking Sandwich: homemade Guinness braised corned beef, turkey, spicy kraut, swiss, dressing

their puffs (tots) are pretty damn good (for store bought) too

its been true the entire time.

Trump needs to be forcibly removed immediately.

i was picking up some takeout at le bleu this weekend and saw that they are selling vietnamese boiled crawfish for take out, if that's your thing. everything else they do is outstanding so i would imagine this is too. don't remember the price.

never tried that one, but that sounds a delicious addition for the mini sandwich rotation

looks amazing. what is in the bowl between the rice and the pico? quinioa? and the greens - sauteed spinach?

damn. i would kill for a week of mini ham sandwiches on King's Hawaiian from the leftover holiday ham. and then the beans and rice from the hambone. props.

and when Trump is gone, whether that is next year (unlikely), or 5 years from now, or whenever, these folks will still be here - tens of millions of completely worthless, total hacks who offer little to nothing of value to society (all current Republicans). its not like they are all of a sudden going turn into reasonable people who decide that democracy and the interests of the country are more important than their own personal and party interests, and owning the libs. It has been said many times - Trump is just a symptom of a much larger problem. that problem is Republicans. they elected him, they cheer on his racism, his fraud and corruption, his complete ineptitude, his repeated humiliation of the country on the international stage, his treason, and now his negligence that has led and will continue to lead to thousands of deaths. they have had opportunity after opportunity to stand up and say, you know, we made a mistake with this guy, we can do better - and have failed to do so - ever. and they all continue to support him. Republicans are a cancer. Trump is simply the public display of that cancer. they are who (many of us) thought they were.

they don’t.

here’s the thing - if you consistently say racist things, act in a racist manner, and happily cozy up to racist people and groups - you are a racist. see, e.g, Donald Trump

“When I read this, the only conclusion I can come to is this: Donald Trump is doing a great job - and the libs are getting owned so hard right now.” - @Johnny Sackand all Republicans

um, Donald Trump is a racist. yes, he has a mental illness - mental illness that is severe and debilitating enough that he should have been institutionalized a long time ago - but he is absolutely a racist as well. and every one of his supporters and defenders are perfectly fine with racism - at best - by virtue of their support.

is it, really though, when it’s exactly what you expect, and exactly what you get, 100% of the time?

plus voter suppression plus invited foreign interference plus vote rigging plus 100% of US Republicans being party over country traitors = easy Trump win.

If by “a big chunk of his base” you mean “all Republicans,” then yes.
