Mr Interweb posted:so we now control the SC? No. Still 4-3 Chuds. BigBallChunkyTime posted:Wasn't this a similar concern about an ideology gap when JFK picked LBJ to deliver Texas? I don't think it's comparable. The spectrum wasn't the same back then and I don't think LBJ was viewed as as much of a liberal (at least in terms of domestic policy) as he ended up being as president when he was in the senate.

Glad the republicans managed to both look like the biggest assholes on the planet and still loving lost. It was a complete lose-lose situation for them.

Evers being in charge is a pretty substantial change from 2016, and there's ample reason to believe that Walker's fuckery made up (and potentially doubled) Trump's margin of victoryquote:According to the study’s author, University of Wisconsin-Madison political scientist Kenneth Mayer, that finding implies that between 12,000 and 23,000 registered voters in Madison and Milwaukee—and as many as 45,000 statewide—were deterred from voting by the ID law. “We have hard evidence there were tens of thousands of people who were unable to vote because of the voter ID law,” he says. This would be the sort of difference that frustrates the "if one state, then others too" model of political prognostication.

‘Absolute Clusterf–k’: Inside the Denial and Dysfunction of Trump’s Coronavirus Task Force rollingstone.com/April 13, 2020 "Missed warnings, conflicting messages, and broken promises — how the White House fumbled its response to the worst pandemic in a century" .... "If you were to write a playbook for how not to prevent a public-health crisis, you would study the work of the Trump administration in the first three months of 2020. The Trump White House, through some combination of ignorance, arrogance, and incompetence, failed to heed the warnings of its own experts. It failed to listen to the projections of one of its own economic advisers. It failed to take seriously what has become the worst pandemic since the 1918 flu and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. And when the White House finally awoke to the seriousness of COVID-19, the response it mustered managed to contain all the worst traits of this presidency. Trump and his closest aides have ignored scientists, enlisted family members and TV personalities and corporate profiteers for help, and disregarded every protocol for how to communicate during a pandemic while spewing misinformation and lies." Florida should social distance until a vaccine exists — even if it’s next year, surgeon general says tampabay.com/3 hours ago "Floridians will be keeping their distance and wearing face masks for up to a year until a COVID-19 vaccine exists, Florida Surgeon General Scott Rivkees said Monday before being whisked away by the governor’s spokeswoman."

High oil prices are a net good for the US and Trump's voters. You can make 100,000+ with an HS degree as a Driller. Doesn't happen at low oil prices. So if oil hit 100 a Barrell Trump's basically saved the country's energy sector by having OPEC curb production. **i am anti oil I am just stating facts to better interpret the manuevers** Also anyone who mentions invading Iraq for oil wka we need oil hasn't been paying attention to US goal #1 since 1970s. This goal is to end foreign need for oil and we accomplished that goal a few years ago.

There's a benefit to the US being energy independent, but it's not like riggers are known for sound financial planning.

https://www.ft.com/coronavirus-latest ft.com/2 hours ago "Europe became the focal point of coronavirus in early March when the disease spread rapidly across the continent. Italy soon became the country hardest hit by Covid-19 after China. After weeks of strict lockdown, Italy is on the verge of turning the corner and the rate of deaths is beginning to decrease. The US, however, is still in the acceleration phase."
