I don't find his "don't worry about Sinema" at all convincing, especially as the piece goes on.

He might be right about her penchant for preening,  but I'm not reassured,  either.   I have no idea how much ideological costume changing she'll do,  but I'd bet Mark Kelly is already tired as fuck of her antics.

Kelly is looking wonderful by comparison and he’s the one that’s got to win again in 2022.

I'm thinking of becoming an Olympian.
Trampoline?...no, get dizzy at heights.
Running?...not likely.
High jump?...same.
Swimming?...probably drown.
BMX bike tricks...fell off a bicycle once, don't like bicycles.
My chosen sport?
Darts.
Well it should be an Olympic sport, everything else is!
Darts is just archery with a smaller target and smaller arrows.

And it would work for you, because there is no beau required.

And it's great that if you are vaccinated, you have a 99% (or so) chance of surviving your reinfection.

But you can still transmit it to the unvaccinated.

That includes children.

In my world, my society is being divided along vaccination lines.
Within families, workplaces, sports etc.
Vaccination card is the new gold pass.

In bambucity...the army is patrolling with cops to make sure people are obeying the lockdown and quarantining rules. Many fines issued yesterday and arrests made.
"Knock, knock"...if you're supposed to be self-isolating at home you'd better be home when the army and cops come a calling.

All the more reason why the vaccinated and unvaccinated should be segregated.

Is there some type of gun Bambu could carry on Mars? Otherwise it’s a bit of a non-starter Olympic glory and all.

A certain subset of these donations are by people accumulating grounds on which to sue trump and trumpworld. By whatever means the loser has his great fall is fine with me.

Can Democrats Go It Alone on Immigrant Amnesty?
Acting unilaterally would be wrong, illegitimate and poisonous.

Biden should appoint Gov. Ducey to something he'd accept.
Then he should appoint Sen. Sinema to something she'd accept, after the SoS takes over as Governor,
Not that it would happen, but Arizona law requires that the Governor appoint someone from the same party as the former senator to fill a vacancy. So, nice as it would be to have Douchey out, it is not necessary.
