  1. They're setting up for an October surprise. I won't believe a word of it from Trump, and I suspect most people won't either unless it's backed up by other countries and/or Dr Fauci. This administration has 0 credibility
  2. Oh, yeah. Misread that. Yeah a law requiring 60 votes to pass whatever would be pretty blatantly unconstitutional, especially under a separation of powers Roberts court. The house and president have no bearing on what it takes to pass a bill in the Senate that isn't prescribed in the Constitution
  3. Unless the government directs this, this will 100% not happen. It's not JIT, too costly. Nurses and doctors would get it first, then probably the wealthy, the police, and high profile athletes. Then everyone else based on who can pay for it first, because there's no way this would be covered with minimal out of pocket cost even with relatively good insurance And it will 100% not be free under Trump so good luck to the millions who are uninsured
  4. And these folks you've seen pictured are from the daytime, when a casual observation tells you the real "fun" has been at night
  5. So since what Kasich has done is ok and allows him a platform at the DNC so long as it's in the name of "Joe Biden it's a good dude" messaging, can we get GWB up there too? Dick Cheney?
  6. I'm not surprised, no one here is. Don't have to be surprised to hate it
  7. He shouldn't be speaking at the convention, full stop. Take his endorsement, sure, but the man shouldn't be sharing a (virtual) stage with any teachers, or anyone from the pro choice movement. It's a fucking insult to the party. He shut down half of Ohio's abortion clinics and tried to disband the teachers union in Ohio and slashed billions from Ohio schools. Don't forget telling LGBT folks to "get over" discrimination. Not worth sharing the floor with him! If we don't stand for these things at minimum what the fuck is the point of the party? What is he actually bringing to the table but a fuck load of baggage?
  8. I mean if they'd clear all business for an RBG replacement, they can do so to ensure one seat always stays with the reactionaries. It's all they want or need!
  9. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonia_Sotomayor_Supreme_Court_nomination Think Mitch can't beat this timeframe by about two weeks? He's done one thing well, and one thing only, and that's appoint marginally to unqualified judges to the court for life
  10. I fully get that primary voters don't identify with the left wing of the party, despite actual stated positions and polling on individual issues, and wanted an actual Democrat (not independent who caucuses with them) who voters thought could beat trump. Thomas's successor would get confirmed between Nov 4 and Dec 31. Plenty of time to push a 35 year old Federalist Society goon on to the high court for life.
  11. No one cares what Kasich has to say except like Brett Stephens. Don't have to give him a spot at the eDNC. No. Good. Republicans. Quote me now: if Nov 4 rolls around and it's clear there's a Biden wins and the senate will not be republican, Thomas will immediately retire. He and his wife are too active in conservative DC circles for this not to happen
  12. We've normalized thousands of Americans dieing every single week, for the past 12+ weeks is the point but it's not a great example to use planes
