I think more people will vote for Trump despite not liking him than you realize GR. It may not be enough to re-elect him, but a lot of people think his policy agenda has been on balance OK, and not nearly the disaster that Dem governance brings.
Would I want trump to be my CEO? Not at all.
If had to choose between Trump and Kamala? Trump all day long.
Trump is nasty, defensive, and bombastic, but I believe he is pushing an agenda that is better for the country and the world than what Biden would bring. I can write that without needing to reference any conspiracy theories or tweets. The policy agenda is simply better.
I say this having said that I would vote for Biden if he had run in 16. Now? Not likely.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Exactly. Biden is primarily selling tax cuts for rich people in blue states.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)How much does the Green Party factor from 2016 matter? I assume not much in the battle ground states??? Haven’t looked but didn’t Jill stein take quite a few votes?

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Godspeed. Come back when the mind recovers.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I suspect that buffet would invest in Omaha prostitutes if the price was right. With the run up in gold I’m betting it’s more a value play than a fear play.
agree that Buffett is the insiders insider.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=2036]How do you recruit “the best and brightest” to live and work in Seattle when you have this kind of sh!t to deal with. https://disrn.com/news/blm-activists-storm-seattle-neighborhood-demand-white-residents-give-black-people-back-their-homes[/quote]
Once smart, motivated people realize that employers no longer require them to make all the compromises required to live in or near a big city, they will stop moving there.
That will stop the gentrification and allow the people in your link to return the inner city to its rightful state of blight and decay.
“buyer buyer gentri-fier!”

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)So I finally got around to reading the criminal complaint.
I think this is a really big deal. Clienesmith was all over the FISA warrants and then a part of the mueller team. He clearly altered a CIA memo to ensure it said what he wanted it to say—Big time evidence tampering. But, he was charged with a false statement in his plea deal. My guess is bigger heads are going to be taken by Durham.
In my opinion, Clinesmith alone has given clarity on the fact that the anti Trump elements would, in fact, act on their bias. A lot of folks have claimed that people like Page and Strozk could have their opinions and avoid acting on them, even if they say they would (strozk’s “we’ll stop him” text is telling). Greasing the skids of the FISA court application is tantamount to a crime against the citizens of the U.S. and should be considered very serious.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)If he’s the fall guy, then the Dems got away with it.
I think there’s more. The statements say he shared the un altered versions with others.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Agree with you bob. I suspect dog attack is somewhere between choke hold and gunshot.
its probably beyond taser too.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I blame Trump.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)This one looks less like a joke and more like a sad circumstance. Guy had a restraining order put in place by his wife last year, then they reconciled without having the judge dismiss the order.
There’s probably more to the backstory, but the officer ordering the dog to bite strikes me as use of force that should be questioned. A true dog bite is a fantastically destructive thing.
Nothing racial at all.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)People are like animals, only smarter. We respond to positive and negative stimuli. It used to be that, in the absence of a state of nature where stupid act meant you paid with your life, stimuli for bad behavior was the direct and expected responsibility of the parent, and then social peers, and then police, judges, etc.
Nowadays, parents are taught that their children are special and shouldn’t get negative feedback. Local laws typically reinforce this notion by frowning on such tried and true methods as corporal punishment. That results in kids that are free to misbehave at best and full-on anti-social at worst. As they move on to peer and social stages of control, the worst receive very little feedback. Then, they end up in the judicial system, which is becoming more of the same.
We have confused “respect for dignity” with “tolerance for bad behavior.” We have emphasized “rights” without emphasizing “responsibilities.” A guy attacks a cop and gets shot. That used to be “expected.” Now? It’s a tragic overuse of state power. It used to be that an attack on a cop was an attack on all of us. Now? Nope. It’s an attack on oppression.
And, we will continue to reap. If we happened to be in a societal mode without the opiate of social media and nonstop streaming of porn, movies, and video games, our murder rates would be through the roof.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Yep. Her baggage is going to be on display…bigly.
I don’t think Biden had a better choice, however. I disagree with your implied assessment of Warren’s “authenticity.” She’s a phony of the first order.
____________________________________________________________
Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Probably the least controversial pick, and she doesn’t help Biden much. Californian, nothing on the big hot buttons of the day that are really positive (though she’s “of color” she has put more people behind bars for minor drug offenses than the average bear, she has limited / no foreign policy bona fides, and she will be viewed skeptically by a lot of the electorate due to the whispers about her rise), and overall really the woman of color equivalent of the empty suit politician. She goes where the wind blows (as it were).
