You stop worrying what other people think about you when you realize how seldom they actually do.

My impression is that Michael Mallory said he would help, then died before he could.  Young Quinn feels abandoned by his suddenly missing father.  The bullies sense his weakness and scale up the abuse accordingly, as the Code of TV Bullies requires.

The vaccines haven't been approved for children, which makes 300M impossible.

That's why I suggested getting it done before Thanksgiving.

The electoral college meets whenever the law tells them to.  It can be changed.  We don't need six weeks for the electors to travel to the state capitol by stagecoach anymore.

Like now. The election has been certified. It's over. Why are we still waiting around for inauguration?

I know why, it's because of a law written when jet travel and interstates didn't exist and it actually took weeks to move about the country.

That day is over. It's time we caught up with the rest of the civilized world.

It should be...

First Tuesday in Nov: Election Day!

Second Tuesday in Nov: Electors vote in their states

Third Tuesday in Nov: Congress certifies the electoral count

Third Wednesday in Nov: Inauguration Day!

Even if Trump is pardoned, he's going to have his hands full with the coming lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems.  They've already sued his lawyer, Sidney Powell, and are undoubtedly waiting for Trump to leave office to go after him.

Just for the sake of comparison, this was the Capitol during the BLM demonstrations

I don't actually object to spending money on refurbishing ships or doing fringe research.  I do object to mislabeling it as emergency relief so they can come back and say "how will we pay for it?" when something more beneficial comes along or take credit for "$900 billion to help struggling Americans" when 90+% of it is going to other things.

All 50 states (and DC) have certified their results.  These lawsuits are pointless.

The Georgia races only matter if you believe Biden won.  Otherwise the GOP holds the senate regardless of the outcomes.

The lawsuits are just another way for him to fleece his supporters.  All the money donated to the "recount fund" goes to either retiring Trump's campaign debt or to his "leadership" PAC (which is legally prohibited from funding recounts or challenges to the vote tally).  That's why he and his people always urge people to donate when they're talking about legal challenges.  All that money goes right into his pocket.

In 2016, Trump campaigned on raising the minimum wage.

Trump's lawsuits challenging vote counting are not designed to win in court but to spread misinformation, encourage thuggish behavior by his supporters, and undermine the legitimacy of the election

They're also upset that the Dems are getting hammered in the House races and probably won't take the senate.  Biden's weak ground game cost them in down ticket races.

I recall hearing something about a "blue wall" in the Midwest four years ago...

Why were texts stored on a laptop hard drive?

It was a much more traditional debate in that both sides went through their talking points, nothing was learned, and no minds were changed

Yeah, the NYT story is more of an indictment of the US tax code than Trump.  It also demonstrates why raising income tax rates is bad policy.  The burden falls primarily on the middle class because the wealthy don't rely on wages and have many more options to obfuscate their income.  You'd need a wealth tax, specifically a land value tax, to get the fat cats to pay their share.

I doubt it affects the election much.  Filling court seats was already a big issue and nobody thought RBG would serve four more years.  The seat will probably be filled before the election anyway.

Also, the polls are tightening.  Biden's virtual campaigning isn't working.

A platform of vagueness should be sufficient considering the Republicans have no platform at all:

Today, the White House condemned Hong Kong delaying their elections saying it "undermines the democratic processes and freedoms"

Clearly, since they've both already had their conventions and announced their candidates; Dr. Jo Jorgensen for the Libertarians and Howie Hawkins for the Greens.

Those all seem too busy.  My favorite is the same as yours.

He was ineffective against other Dems in his previous presidential runs

Actually, there's quite a bit of evidence that white supremacists and undercover cops are instigating.  The handful of police deaths have all resulted in arrests of Boogaloo and other alt-right perpetrators.  Undercover cops have been outed in dozens of cases of vandalism.  There's a long, long history of police infiltrating peaceful protests to make them seem less peaceful.  As for violence, the number of dead and seriously injured protesters dwarfs the number of wounded cops.

The erosion of that view of the president started much earlier than Bush or Obama.  Teddy Roosevelt started the trend and Woodrow Wilson institutionalized it.

People don't mind the military being used for crowd control when they disagree with the crowd.  Don't hear many people today complaining about federal troops being sent to the south to enforce integration.
