Re: Trump ended COVID19

These folks had to add a new color -- deep purple -- to their map. At greater than 1000 new cases per million, the Dakotas should have their own color. But not sure what they would use.

Re: Advice to vote (From "Maybe Inspiration")

I think there's fourth. Trump quits in a huff, in exchange from a Pence pardon. How would that help him with SDNY? Am I out of my mind? Wait. Like. I don't know what I'm talking about anymore. The chaos making is taking it's toll. No, you’re on the right track. Generally, whether a presidential par...

Re: Advice to vote (From "Maybe Inspiration")

Ha: “Federal judge rejects GOP challenge to invalidate nearly 127,000 votes in Democratic-leaning Houston“ Goddamn Republicans are just so brazen about it now. - Doc That was scheduled to be heard by a notorious Trump-appointed judge. ETA: Not a Trump judge. A notoriously conservative GWB-appointed...

Re: Advice to vote (From "Maybe Inspiration")

I think there are a few courses of action that Trump can take with the election if it looks like he's going to lose, no matter if it's a blowout or if it's close (it's more likely to be close than anything else). Course of Action #1 - Trump will declare himself the winner on the 3rd and until his t...

Re: Maybe Inspiration

Let's strike this down first. There is no real Hunter Biden story. There is a Hunter Biden tall tale peddled by Rudy Giuliani, who has apparently lost it. Which media outlet went for the story? The New York Post, over the protests and unwillingness of the people who were forced to write or put thei...

Re: Advice to vote (From "Maybe Inspiration")

To claim Obama had “control” of the Senate for two years is a Trumpesque version of reality. The Democrats does not have a filibuster-proof majority, and Mitch took a complete obstructionist position with respect to any proposal from Obama. Even worse, getting even a majority vote in the Senate requ...

Re: My disgust with Democrats regarding "court stacking"

I think "court stacking" is a reasonable term for the Republican strategy. In that case, those Republicans are disgusting for failing to do their jobs. I don't think it obviates the point I made in my opening post, though. You are correct that Mitch McConnell is responsible for the number of opport...

If Biden wins, I think Fauci's job is secure and we'll be hearing more from him.
Not if Trump manages to can and replace him before Inauguration Day.
I suspect the appeals process takes longer than that.

Re: My disgust with Democrats regarding "court stacking"

Dear Perfumaniacs: During the confirmation hearings of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, both within the hearings and without one constantly heard accusations from our Democratic friends that President Trump was "stacking the court" and that he was audacious for daring to nominate someone to replace Justi...

Re: Trump ended COVID19

My limited understanding is Fauci can be demoted or fired from his NIH position for cause and only by the NIH Director HHS Secretary. If he's fired, he can appeal on the basis that his firing violated civil service rules. I don't think Collins at NIH would fire Fauci. Would Azar fire him if ordered ...
