How Trump’s ‘Denial, Mismanagement, And Magical Thinking’ Led To The Pandemic’s Dark Winter. Great detailed reporting from the Washington Post. You have to work to screw things up this badly.
Operation Warp Speed General Apologizes. Is this the first time any Administration official has apologized for anything?
Trump Still Runs Interference For Russia. Hey, it could be China. Could be some 500-pound guy living in his parents’ basement.
‘Folks, We’re In Crisis’. Biden unveils climate team. A strong group, IMO.
NCC Shares CARES Funds For Humane State Purposes. This, along with housing the homeless at the former Sheraton, are the hallmarks of a County Executive and County Council with empathy. Thumbs up from me.
Rethugs Winning Georgia Ad Wars. Not a great sign, IMO.
What do you want to talk about?
“Democrats are getting out-advertised in the Georgia Senate runoffs thanks to a megadonor-funded blitz from GOP super PACs in the races that will decide control of the Senate.”
So, we are just basically saying that corporations and billionaires can buy elections. Talk about “rigged”.
We must Overturn Citizens United.
Also – I feel queasy just thinking about what kinds of lies and racist bullshit is being poured into the eye and earholes of GA voters.
Democrats outspent Republicans almost everywhere in November.
We must overturn Citizens United because the lack of transparency allows foreign governments to buy elections. If Biden appoints some special prosecutors and we find out how deeply Trump was tied to Russia it might wake up some Republicans, though at this point I doubt it.
Trump originally said it was a 400-pound guy. I’m guessing Trump himself is only about 70 pounds short of being that guy.
