I find Bill Mitchell to be a much more valuable source of insight into conservative thought than all the conservatives with an op ed in a major paper, all of whom thought a trump presidency was impossible. I hate Bill Mitchell but I also wished he had David Brooks' job.

Probably a D victory in November. Without the cult of personality around Trump the Republican party will end up being just the old white boys club again. I don't know if Pence would be able to survive the debate process. Biden is good enough for a lot of people on both sides of the fence.

That or they suspend the election and the GOP seizes absolute power.

Nah, he's surrounded by sycophants. As soon as he's out of the picture they're going to collapse because Pence isn't Trump. Pence is the establishment guy the RNC picked to make Trump more palatable in the 2016 election going classical Republicans.

The Opposition leader is defending commuting between Wellington and his home in Tauranga during the lockdown.

Simon Bridges chairs the Epidemic Response Committee, which holds its meetings every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

While MPs are joining the meeting remotely via Zoom, Bridges is in Parliament, and is driving himself back to Tauranga for the rest of the week.

The DoD is keeping infected totals in the military a secret now. A couple weeks ago ft Lewis told us they had 11 confirmed cases but stopped giving updates, probably as a result of the DoD order. You won't hear about cases now unless it's incredibly low, like ft Campbell only having one case.

As a result, he was probably canned for "posing a national security risk" and knew he was gonna get fired over it, which I'm glad he did for the good of his ship.

That's not how this works. Nothing in his letter is classified. The closest it comes is that he should've clicked the "encrypt" or "FOUO" button in Outlook. But that's hardly deserving of being removed from commanding a capital ship.
