Anti-democracy. No surprise here, either.

No, no surprise, but such a bizarrely revealing way to state the issue.  Democracy thwarts liberty, peace and prosperity?  Look around the world, and tell me those things exist in greater abundance where there is minority rule.

Of course they don't.  So what he really means is peace and prosperity for me and mine, and fuck the rest.  Just bizarre that he would be that open about it.

Trump miracle cure derived from fetal tissue research.


How will this play with the so called ‘pro-life’ contingent?

I posted an excerpted article on this a few hours ago.   As I think it noted,  the pro-lifers are mostly unaware of this glaring hypocrisy.   And happy to look the other way.   I think chiropractors may be getting wealthy on all of that head averting the right does these days.

When Gibbon returns to earth to chronicle this historical period, he'll call it the "Death of Irony."

LoL.   If Gibbon returns,  he may regret the decision.

It is true that Dems get the electoral college jump - with CA and NY

Another monumentally stupid take.

Democrats don't have an electoral college advantage.  If they did, we wouldn't have had two elections go the Republican's way in the last two decades despite their losing the popular vote.

The Red state advantage with the present EC system is well-known and documented.  It's the reason for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact exists and has already been ratified in sixteen jurisdictions.

All blue.

Obviously NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has been pouring over the sad TV ratings for its  Championship series:
We’re completely committed to standing for social justice and racial equality and that’s been the case going back decades. It’s part of the DNA of this league. How it gets manifested is something we’re gonna have to sit down with the players and discuss for next season. I would say, in terms of the messages you see on the court and our jerseys, this was an extraordinary moment in time when we began these discussions with the players and what we all lived through this summer. My sense is there’ll be somewhat a return to normalcy, that those messages will largely be left to be delivered off the floor.

And I understand those people who are saying ‘I’m on your side, but I want to watch a basketball game.’

Which puts him ahead of you and Kid, since neither of you are on the same side as Silver.

I dont care about the NBA ratings or the messaging

Or BLM, we know.

Or, for that matter, BL.

If calling for equal application of the law regardless of race is so offensive to you that you can't watch a basketball game, Fuck You.

I'm not surprised that Adam Silver is unable and/or unwilling to deliver that message, but that's really all there is to it.

Any more?

Amy Charwoman Barrett.

WASHINGTON — Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett served as a “handmaid,” the term then used for high-ranking female leaders in the People of Praise religious community, an old directory for the group’s members shows.

Barrett has thus far refused to discuss her membership in the Christian organization, which opposes abortion and, according to former members, holds that men are divinely ordained as the “head” of both the family and faith, while it is the duty of wives to submit to them.

Covid does not seem to interact well with the serious mental illness necessary to engage in a career in republican politics.

There needs to be a movie studio boss on Facebook who you can share movie ideas with in order to get films made.

Salute,

Do not know if this has been posted, but seems right on point:
---This was avoidable': Trump has been downplaying the virus from the start
In recent weeks, Trump has put himself and others at risk by holding mass gatherings, some indoors, and shunning mask use while claiming the end of the virus was just around the corner.---

This is what I am talking about with regard to the mania caused by the steroid the president is taking:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/08/politics/stimulus-negotiations-latest-trump-reversal/index.html

He has seldom, if ever, had much in the way of impulse control, but right now? He is even more all over the place than ever.

No, no stimulus package until after the election.

Wait, let's to a targeted one for the citizens.

Oh, and one for airlines and small businesses, but separate.

Hey, what if we just did one big wide reaching one?!

https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/08/politics/stimulus-negotiations-latest-trump-reversal/index.html

These are not negotiations. These are "stream of thought" impulsive outbursts.

Trump is still trying to get the Census stopped before they are done.

Or as the head of it testified, "We're only required to do one. We're not required to make it accurate."
