Does he use the remaining 2.65 months to do everything to fuck Russia over? 

I'd bet good money the first deal he restarts if he remains a free man will be the tower in Moscow.

Or does he need to keep it smooth for when Jared runs?

LOL.

Jared fleeing the country and running to Russia to avoid prosecution seems the most likely outcome both for himself and his terrible family.

CPB fascists are already fleeing Portland and Washington state.

Trump is hiding in the bunker again, wallowing in demon sperm and whatever else Kiid plans to mainline or freebase as part of his cultish activity.

Listen to the women.

Keep marching.

The eight-term Republican told CNN last month that he was not wearing a mask because he was being tested regularly for the coronavirus.

Forgot to mention how stupid this was.
If you're not wearing a mask, you are at much higher risk of contracting CV-19.
Which not only can be a nasty flu-like experience, but can be fatal.  And can cause long term organ damage to those who survive.  You want to avoid being infected as much as possible and a simple expedient such as a face mask in public is not asking much.

Also, he could be infected and infectious between tests, which I'd assume is likely every 3 days or so, or at most every other day.  Plus a test can yield a false positive negative which makes people (especially those non-masked) dangerous, as they think they are safe.

Not wearing a mask is just irresponsible no matter how often one gets tested.
Even worse when you are an elected official and therefore a role model of sorts.
Plus you are around all sorts of other VIP's (Barr yesterday, woulda been Trump et al. tomorrow)
Try being a leader.  Not an extra CV case.

Trump likely to do terrible among women voters.  Which is why Biden's promise to pick a female running mate was smart, contrary to kiid's complaints about thew horrors of it all.

I count over a half-dozen viable and credible female possibilities.

National Experience/Profile:
Kamala
Liz Warren

Midwesterners:
Klobuchar
Duckworth
Whitmer
Baldwin

of Color:
[Harris]
Rice
and to a lesser extent: Bottoms, Abrams, Demmings

Likely it's Harris and she should be a nice complement, as she's tough and can counter the GOP nonsense, making a nice contrast to Uncle Joe's good-natured politics.

Are Americans dumb?

A couple in Michigan had to take down their Norwegian flag from their inn as folks were complaining thinking it was a Confederate flag

Republicans looking to cap COVID unemployment at 70% of weekly check - beginning in September - after the initial cut to 200 bucks a week

Sure - theoretically less money to spend to help the economy (also less than if they gave Trump his payroll tax cuts).

Also firm incentive to work.

A logistical nightmare that will likely keep money from claimants for months. UI departments are already swamped.

Let alone the whole "your health or you're homeless" choice thing.

The Republican thinking is ass-backwards, you support people and the economy until its safe to resume semi-normal life.

The schools, restaurants, movie theatres, airlines, hotels, sports or office buildings, etc are not going to be fully-functional-healthy until most people believe them not to be covid-death traps.

Control the disease, with selective shutdowns as needed and in 2 months, the problem wil hopefully be largely be contained and manageable

So Repubs should be smart and pick-up the tab for the next few months, they're not going to pay it anyway.

The tab wlil eventially be picked up by middle-class tax payers for the next 50 years.

(Kid this is my opinion and has been for some time-I hope you are not unduly confused-or anymore confused than is your natural state).

It's possible covid may have kicked off a long-term decline in oil.

This is a transformational moment.

But CNN's Kaitlan Collins doubled back on the topic of Immanuel, who also touted the zero-evidence claim that hydroxychloroquine is a “cure for Covid.”

"The woman that you said is ‘a great doctor’ in that video that you retweeted last night said that masks don’t work and there is a cure for COVID-19—both of which health experts say is not true," Collins said to Trump. "She’s also made videos saying that doctors make medicine using DNA from aliens and that they’re trying to create a vaccine to make you immune from becoming religious. So what’s the logic in retweeting that?"

Trump questioned whether it was same woman. “Well maybe it’s the same, maybe it’s not," he said, "but I can tell you this. She was on air, along with many other doctors, they were big fans of hydroxychloroquine. And I thought she was very impressive, in the sense that from where she came—I don’t know which country she comes from—but she said that she’s had tremendous success with hundreds of different patients and I thought her voice was an important voice, but I know nothing about her.”

But when reporters persisted in asking Trump about his push for mask wearing last week, he abruptly ended the briefing—as in, ran for cover.

To be fair,  I think we have to acknowledge that the incubus and succubus minorities have been ignored for too long and felt... voiceless.   Trump's progressive move,  acknowledging their existence,  will surely help him garner more votes from the incorporeal bloc.

Well, to be fair, the idea that Trump's mother had dream sex with the devil while she was pregnant with Donald would explain a lot about our current situation.

That demon’s name was... Fred.

And get sick and die...

Irony.

If GOP and Whitehouse pass House bill they help the nation, boost the economy and gain the thanks of a vast number of voters...

He didn’t earn the title of “Dumbest Man in Congress” for nothing.

Remember when he said Eric Holder ‘cast aspersions on my asparagus?’

With the ‘possible’ exception of Duckworth no midwestern pick does anything for Biden’s vote totals.
