This won't upset Larry, but it is exactly why Pence and the rest of the GOP need to grow a set. Of course, they won't.

Australia signed a trade agreement with Japan...China was outraged.
Australia just signed a defence pact with Japan...China is even more outraged, and has threatened to make Australia pay, even more than it has already.
China has sent Australia a list of 14 grievances it has with Australia.
ScoMo said he will not be playing China's game.
One day Australia might retaliate, instead of just allowing itself to be bullied, insulted, and abused.

Evil...

The lawsuit alleges that despite the uncontrolled spread of the virus at the plant, Tyson required its employees to work long hours in cramped conditions without providing the appropriate personal protective equipment and without ensuring workplace-safety measures were followed.

In mid-April, around the time Black Hawk County Sherriff Tony Thompson visited the plant and reported the working conditions there “shook [him] to the core,” plant manager Tom Hart organized a cash-buy-in, winner-take-all, betting pool for supervisors and managers to wager how many plant employees would test positive for COVID-19.

Bye Bye, Job.

About that “ Blue Wave” in Texas.
Didn’t happen.
Wasn’t even a ripple.
Karl Rove has the details.

Democrats seemed to do everything right to turn Texas blue this year. Joe Biden won 5,211,406 votes, 1.3 million more than Hillary Clinton in 2016 and 1.9 million more than President Obama in 2012. The Democrats’ Senate candidate this year, M.J. Hegar, received the second-highest vote total ever for a Democrat in Texas: 4,844,433.

Democrats also mounted well-funded campaigns to flip six Texas congressional seats, outraising Republicans $28 million to $17 million. Anticipating a 2022 gubernatorial bid, Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke ran the Democrats’ registration and turnout efforts.

Even more astonishing, Mr. Obama and his former attorney general, Eric Holder, led an effort to mobilize a galaxy of outside groups against a dozen Republican state representatives, aiming to take control of the Texas House by defeating at least nine. These groups spent $61 million.

It all came to nothing. President Trump received 5,860,096 votes, 1.2 million more than four years ago, and beat Mr. Biden by 648,690. Though Sen. John Cornyn was outspent late in the race, he defeated Ms. Hegar by more than one million votes. Republicans kept those six congressional seats, most by big margins, and Messrs. Obama and Holder didn’t win the Democrats any new state House seats, leaving the GOP majority intact for next year’s redistricting.


Not to mention a sizable Hispanic plurality for the GOP which, when when added to the massive GOP voter registration and get out the vote campaigns, looks to make Texas Redder than ever for a long time.

TEXAS is where they stashed Kamala.

"Redder than ever"

Romney won by 1.26 million.
Trump won by 807 thousand.
Trump beat Biden by 637 thousand.

It was no shock that Cornyn won. It will be a surprise if Cruz can win his next round.

Redder than ever.
There is more to the color than just the presidential vote.
November was an epic failure by the dems in Texas, and elsewhere.

”White male privilege is powerful. It overrides facts. It excuses horrendous behavior. It exalts the unqualified. It drew thousands of Trump supporters to the streets of the nation’s capital in their “Make America Great Again” gear and with their flags hoisted high, rubbing shoulders with members of hate groups because they believed the current president — the birther president — was righteous in his denial of his loss at the polls. They came to enable the illogic of a man who repaid their fervor with a drive-by appearance on his way to the golf course”.

Your dying gasps are hilarious. This is a state party and government that just added a double homicide to its widespread bribery problems. Things are just rosy for the GOP in Texas.
