A lot of the egregiously racist stuff that gets Miller all hot and bothered will get instantly thrown by the next Democratic president once Baron can't be voted to a third term in 2048. The stuff that she's done isn't sexy enough to make national news and will likely leave a more lasting legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most they should do is issue guidelines, not dictate policy. We don't need a Department of Education. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, bit there's also a nontrivial number of states that can't even afford to keep schools open without a great deal of federal assistance. If my tax dollars from Massachusetts are going to keep schools in Kentucky open, there should be some form of federal oversight into how Kentucky is using that money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anathema- Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Those are more Republican Voters Against Trump or maybe even Biden official campaign style ads. Lincoln Project is explicitly designed to paint trump as weak and rattle him personally. The difference is the editors in charge of most media are conservative leaning or sympathizing and are the ones jerking over the content that Lincoln project puts out. Sure maybe they can put out ads that highlight policy issues but that ignores or misses why they get the play they do in the first place.

Ricofoley Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 If they won't name the "White House officials" then how are they openly discredting Fauci? What reason is there to let them launder this shit anonymously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 So, they are concerned about how many times he has been "wrong," but I don't think that means what someone normally would assume. In this case, "wrong" likely means that Fauci predicted something within a range, and then later changed his predictions/advice when new data emerged - something doctors and scientists should do. But to people in this administration, changing your opinion shows weakness, so Fauci changing his beliefs even a bit would show them that he is an idiot who doesn't know what he is talking about. That's my take, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"With tourists coming in from California or the hotbed of Arizona, the possibility of casinos bringing in COVID-19 is a lot greater than my regulars who live within three miles of my bar," he said. "I understand the position the governor's in if he shuts down the Strip again, but don't hurt little guys like us." As Nevada grapples with the unrelenting spread of COVID-19, what are the odds the Las Vegas casino corridor – the state’s central economic engine – closes next?

But she still refuses to wear a mask outside of work, which is incredibly irresponsible for a health professional. I should clarify, she isn’t so much a Trump supporter as she is an “anyone who is pro-life” supporter.
