This whole story is amazing.

That, to me, reads like baiting the gullible. But even then: Trump supporters were doing it to themselves. It’s not the sportsbooks’ fault if someone doesn’t realize that businesspeople aspire to separate customers from their money.

The sportsbooks won untold millions off a political movement’s refusal to accept reality. It wasn’t the oddsmakers’ plan to win by such large margins, and doing so despite making Trump a relative favorite was largely good fortune.

The 2020 election had many losers: Trump, his supporters, and American democracy chief among them. But almost by accident, the race created huge winners beyond Joe Biden. The biggest, arguably, were based not in Washington but in places like Panama City, and entirely unregulated by the government Biden was elected to lead.

I've never been president, but I think it'd be wise to acknowledge, at least briefly, the city where a bomb went off within the country you're currently "presidenting."  I think the minimum of acknowledgements should be one.  One is low effort, but clearly the minimum.  I would strongly consider mentioning the BOMB THAT WENT OFF IN AN AMERICAN CITY way before I mentioned anything else.  Maybe gesture, as best you can, a mild discouragement of more bombs going off in major cities.  And even if a bomb going off doesn't bother you in the slightest, maybe say "hey, how 'bout that bomb, huh?  Man, bombs aren't that good for our cities," pretending that you care about bombs.

If Tubberville makes a spectacle with the electoral votes, I imagine Mitch will make sure he won't have jack shit to do in the Senate.

Why would Tubberville want to do anything at all except enjoy the ample spoils of Senatorship?

He could sit with his thumb up his ass for 6 years and Alabama will re-elect him over his Dem opponent.

Remember in May when there was little footage inside hospitals showing the effects on healthcare? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/01/opinion/coronavirus-photography.html

That was just Trump messing around with authoritarian tactic known as fucking with the Press:

HIDING COVID-19: HOW THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SUPPRESSES PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE PANDEMIC

The U.S. government has reinforced media restrictions at hospitals, reducing the flow of disturbing images of the pandemic.

Quote

AS COVID-19 TORE through the United States in the spring, a senior official in the Trump administration quietly reinforced a set of guidelines that prevented journalists from getting inside all but a handful of hospitals at the front line of the pandemic. The guidelines, citing the medical privacy law known as HIPAA, suggested a nearly impossible standard: Before letting journalists inside Covid-19 wards, hospitals needed prior permission from not only the specific patients the journalists would interview, but also other patients whose names or identities would be accessible.

The onerous guidelines were issued on May 5 by Roger Severino, who worked at the conservative Heritage Foundation before Donald Trump appointed him to direct the Office for Civil Rights at the Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS. The guidelines made it extremely difficult for hospitals to give photographers the opportunity to collect visual evidence of the pandemic’s severity. By tightening the circulation of disturbing images, the guidelines fulfilled, intentionally or not, a key Trump administration goal: keeping public attention away from the death toll, which has surpassed 300,000 souls.

Yeah, if you had told me that in the waining days of his administration in 2020...there’d have been a large bomb explosion and Trump would remain silent on it.  I would have guessed Tehran, Caracas, or the South China Sea.  I would not have guessed Nashville.

Whatever it is named, my wish is that it quickly disappears to page 2.

My hope is that it is locked on January 20 and the forum filters his name from all that titles and posts. I want to never think it heart about him again once he is no longer a threat.

that person does not exist.  the "trump bloc" is non-transferrable.  even if trump stands next to someone and says this is the guy, the yahoos and the mopes and the yokels and the hillbillies will not vote for him/her.

these people are not republicans.  they do not care about issues.  there are no issues.  only trump.

I tend to think this is correct.  But as a disaffected former Republican, I can vouch that the GOP quit caring about issues they could do anything about (that is, anything but being "culture warriors") quite some time ago, so Trump was a perfect fit.

And while the GOP may not be able to generate another Trump for itself, and another candidate may not be able to generate a similar cult following, the whole lot of them are going to continue to be a problem in some form or another.  The yahoos, mopes, yokels, and hillbillies, I mean, as well as the GOP in its current form.

So now the New York Times has told Trump to give it up and quit holding back progress.  Excuse me while I go somewhere and pat myself on the back for knowing this forever while a media mogul like Rupert Murdoch just now figured it out.  I hope he has a smelly brown stain under his nose from kissing Trump's ass all these years.  Maybe losing a few million subscriptions changed his mind.  What a joke.

cnn claiming that he signed it with the understanding that mcconnell would bring the $2k direct checks to a vote.

which they will then vote against.

4 years and he still has no idea how any of this works.

If the senate votes, the $2,000 checks pass easily. The Georgia senators will be essentially forced to vote for it, and no way all of the other republicans stick together against Trump. It likely passes with a veto-proof majority, as if it even needs one.

I think there are very decent odds that Mitch never brings it up for a vote, though. None of the republicans actually want $2000 checks and Mitch just got elected to a 6 year term.

Agreed.  But there will be significant pressure from the Dems (or at least, there should be) to hold this vote in the next few days leading up to the GA election.  They should make it front page new everyday.  But they probably won't, because Dem messaging is, as my grandmother would say, "the pits."

Some of these people are going to have entire wings and/or departments at major medical schools/facilities named after them for what they did and put up with, in order to see our nation through this pandemic that made the nation with the 4% of the world endure 24% of its fatalities.  

I promise you Trumpers, when he's dead and gone and serves no value to the powers that be in our GOP...you fucking morons will be lucky to have a rest stop  named in his honor to visit on IH-595.

Mitch needs those Georgia Senate seats, and Ossoff and Warnock and the Dems have actually been hitting the Georgia Republicans pretty hard over the stimulus thing, both with the amount, and with Trump's fucking around and delaying it.

More importantly, he does not need Trump blasting Republicans on twitter leading up to the Georgia election, and if he doesn't give in to Trump on this, that's exactly what Trump will be doing.

Trump really believes he is the reason Mitch kept his seat last month, and therefore Mitch had best be showing some fealty.

how many dpd are trumpkin/kraken (percentage)

I’m sure it skews Trump for sure. But the department has good diversity and plenty of people like me. Even amongst the ones I know are trumpets, I don’t hear any conspiracy or election fraud talk. I pretty much only see that online.
