    I think he will show and the bar has been set so low that the only thing he could do to derail himself would be to pop a can of ensure and piss his pants on live tv.

    Why do 90 plus percent of felons vote democrat???

    Nevermind.

    I posted a while back that I find it odd that minor interference by russia in a national election elicits screams of terror, but that for some reason a New York billionaire explicitly interfering in a Florida election is somehow just fine. I find it to be outside the spirit of democracy, but then again so was citizens united.

    If it’s down to those two, then I think you are right.

    I was reaching.  I admit it. The “yeah but” game is so prevalent we almost can’t have good conversations.

    “Our unemployment is lower.”

    “Yeah, but your people are at more risk…shame on you.”

    Something like that.

    Rocky, the voting thing is just more proof that wedge issues work. People will live in a crime ridden cesspool and keep voting for the same leaders who made it happen, as long as they are given a reason to feel morally superior to the other fella.

    Hah!  Good one.

    Seems that the higher your unemployment rate, the more you are likely to sing the blues.

    Now let’s do Covid cases, no, wait, let’s do Covid case rates, because everybody knows that’s all that matters.

    Rog I agree with you about the timing and the need to respect a significant american. I’ve been impressed with the news coverage on that front.

    I don’t agree about the “hurting” and such. She was 87 and everybody knew she had gone to great lengths to conceal the realities of her infirmity. The Scalia death was much more shocking and saddening because it was sudden.  Anybody who was caught off guard by this and is somehow shocked and saddened really is either just being dramatic or is painfully uninformed.

    The sad part of all this is, like we are finding with many boomers in power (EDIT, she was not a boomer, but the comparison fits),  she didn’t know when to call it quits. Or, if she did, her politics got in the way.  That and the quote being attributed to her from her relative about a “new president” say a lot about what drove her to the end.

    I honor her and at the same time don’t have a problem saying that in the end it was ideology that ruled her. And, that’s ok as long as she was comfortable that her legacy would possibly be scarred with a massive partisan fight because she couldn’t retire in her early 80s when Obama would have  easily replaced her with another wise liberal.

    It will do that. But am I the only one who sees a difference between a lame duck president making a nomination in the election year and a first term president doing so?  The whole narrative supposed a “new president” which is a bit premature.

    All I can say is get your popcorn ready, this is going to bring out the long knives.

    and, yes I agree with you about rbg’s actions, but this isn’t really the time for it. We all knew this was coming.

    RIP.

    And, for some reason, he’s been skewered as authoritarian for this line of thinking.

    Holy smokes.  Not only did you not post from Foxnews, but you posted from CSPAN.   🙂

    I can’t believe she would discuss this with such a flippant “it’s a tactic” conclusion.  It’s a disgusting tactic.  You lie, get the press to run with the lie, then you point to the press as validating the lie.  It’s the proverbial snake eating its tail.
