[quote quote=4015]Preening idiot governor. Great line. I’m left trying to figure out which one when there are so many to choose from.[/quote]
exactly.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Funny how that works, isn’t it?
There’s going to be a lot of discussion on Covid that gets shut down now that our heroes are in charge and / or we can’t blame the feds for the issues.
That, and I suspect the other reason (which is why the old CEB, then thunderdome, were really shut down…), is recruiting. An honest assessment of the California situation probably has some negative resonance for recruiting, and so why not just stop the conversation. That’s how we roll at Stanford, and pretty much at every neo liberal institution in America. From “let the winds of freedom blow” to “we can’t HANDLE the truth!”

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I never expected trump to concede without caveats. I do think he has carried the fight long enough regarding election challenges. I also think they have uncovered enough crud that congress ought to take a closer look at election integrity (again).
Sadly, it’s all just a game. Last time it was russia as the refrain while massive malfeasance by the prior administration was ignored. This time it’s election fraud by inner city machines while ignoring the fiscal disasters that are congressional leaders.
One thing is sure: trump may never be remembered for it, but the push for a vaccine from the feds will be seen as a national success equivalent to the Manhattan or Apollo projects. And yet the complaint will be that Trump didn’t wear a mask. Go figure.
Trump is not a great man. But, we knew that. His pardons look just as petty as any president’s. He has been a better president in the American tradition than anybody wants to admit. Maybe, just maybe, he will help prove that the American system, where the feds stay in their lanes and the states are allowed to manage theirs, is actually a really good one. Well, unless you live under a preening idiot governor.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Epic collapse. 31 unanswered points.
…and we won.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Saw where AOC got a fairly significant smack down by the Dem caucus who voted overwhelmingly for another New Yorker on the energy and commerce committee.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Well, if AOC says it, it must be true!

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)If you believe, at all, in innocent until proven guilty, then you really must appreciate that the nation’s top lawyer didn’t spill the Hunter Biden investigation for political gain.
And I think Hunter and his dad are going to be found to be grifters of the first degree (well, Hunter already is, it’s just a question of whether you can RICO his daddy).

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)A W is a W.
We had a couple of TDs taken off the board by penalties. So we “coulda” won by more.
We reverted to form on d. Got mashed a bunch. We got lucky their top Rb got hurt.
still, mills showed some creativity and the play calling was pretty good.
And it’s a W. I’ll take it.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)The fourth estate has become unprofitable, and so its denizens have to pad their pockets in ways that would never have been legitimate 30 years ago.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)DiFi’s personal driver was a Chinese spy FOR YEARS and it has basically been swept under the rug.
Swallwell just got laid and was told she was a spy, then he distanced himself. He deserves the scrutiny given the hypocrisy, but he’s likely not guilty of anything. Pussy is undefeated. Ask the Russians.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Jesus, CNN reports on this stuff being revealed ad nauseum before the election by Republicans as if CNN has been following and reporting on it it all along, when in fact CNN was right there with the censorship cabal when it came to #hunterslaptop.
What I think: Follow the money all the way to Joe Biden.
What I know: This will just be more grist for the mill. Tit for tat. Turnaround is fair play. Hunter skates, Joe gets to say “I know nothing, and I love my son.”

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)My take: I have no problem with the challenges in the courts, that’s what courts are for.
I do believe that it’s better for challenges to be heard over all than for them to be dismissed out of hand. If fraud was egregious enough for a court to hear it, then perhaps it needs to be addressed.
the biggest issue to me is that if one party improves its position by cheating, whether that be through big city voting machines or Russian influence, then the legislature ought to prevent that kind of cheating in the next election. Otherwise there’s a huge incentive for cheating. Only way to get it out there legitimately is in the courts.
