Nixon also didn't have the weird cult of personality that would allow him to bend reality like Trump does.

I’m not a Nixon fan but appreciate his weird 1960 election plan to campaign in all 50 states. The flaws you would expect popped up (from Wikipedia): quote:At the Republican National Convention, Nixon had pledged to campaign in all fifty states. This pledge backfired when, in August, Nixon injured his knee on a car door while campaigning in North Carolina. The knee became infected and Nixon had to cease campaigning for two weeks while the infection was treated with antibiotics.

She took the time to thank the behind the scenes support staff. Probably took - a few minutes of her time to shake our hands of the IT, finance and logistic folks and say a few words, but I'd vote for her.

So colleges can mostly do online teaching to a degree, but what happens to the majors and courses that nees more hands on skills training like paramedic and nursing programs? is there gonna be a major lack of those professions in a year or two when no one's graduating to backfill all the retirements, covid deaths and such?

https://www.wavy.com/news/local-news/portsmouth/portsmouth-holding-briefing-about-confederate-monument-incident-several-warrants-secured/ Portsmouth VA police are using a “riot” where a guy got hurt pulling down a confederate statue that occurred 8 hours after a VA state senator and NAACP folks spoke to charge them all with felonies. Totally by chance that senator’s police oversight bill hit the floor today.

Hot Karl Marx posted:The DNC seems like a giant waste of money and a ego stroke but that's just me Absolutely! The best part is that reporters used to run around the DNC and spend most of their convention time eating, drinking, or bullshitting. Now, they're forced to sit around and watch every single speech, so they're starting to realize how tedious it all is. Thankfully though, basically everyone gets like 1-2 minutes to talk at most, so the whole AOC ONLY GETS A MINUTE, THIS IS CENTRIST BULLSHIT turned out to be super overblown.

“Today it is my honor to pardon Ms. Susan B. Anthony, who- a lot of people don’t know this, but now they’re saying ‘Sir, what happened to Ms. Anthony, it’s very unfair, the Fake News media and the Deep State, they’re treating her- Ms. Casey B. Anthony- very badly.’ And now, she can be a free woman and go vote- in person, because she wasn’t arrested for wanting to vote by mail, which is a Democrat fraud. Can we get her up here? What do you mean she’s dead?”

So yesterday at the grocery store some older guy was complaining to the manager that the store wasn't enforcing masks. The manager said they didn't have the power to enforce the mask rule, so the guy took his mask off in a huff and proceeded to shop sans mask. this country is hosed lol

Remember that a pardon carries the implicit assumption of guilt. So he's basically posthumously forcing the admittance that what she did was wrong. Somehow I doubt that she would accept the pardon if she was alive.

Why people feel the need to write volumes of discourse over dozens of tweets, I don’t know.
