All the Congressional cultists, if we have to listen to one more detached, vapid lunatic tirade we're going to run head first into a brick wall, because the only two ways that nonsense has any value are blind religious fervor, and severe brain damage. #AiringofGrievances
The terror and panic that's in your hearts is painfully obvious in every decibel of your nauseating diatribes. This is the only way you can release the excess of your emotions to prevent yourselves from crying hysterically.
What pseudo-sexual lust for this POTUS, from homophobic males, is this? Although the women are no better, even if they are fewer.
You can all rant and rave in a panoramic view if that is what you wish. But there is no music to the noise you make.

Every state has mechanisms to prevent double votes. If you are anything less than 100% certain that your mail-in ballot will be received no later than TOMORROW, you can use these to LEGALLY VOTE IN PERSON despite your ballot already being mailed. (1/10)
Step one - Verify.
You must be 100% sure that your ballot has been delivered, or will be delivered TOMORROW. Ignore any other suggested deadlines. After tomorrow is too late, even if it's not supposed to be. Don't take the risk. (2/10)
If you can track your ballot online, do so NOW. If you are able to achieve 100% assurance that you're ballot has or will arrive within the deadline, you're done. That's all you need. If you're only 99.9999999999999% or less, continue to Step two. (3/10)
Labor Dept is proposing new rules that will have severe economic repercussions, and trying to hide them from you. And they're being fast tracked to approval while the public is distracted by COVID, the election, and now the SCOTUS pick also. Here's a synopsis. (1/x)
In short, Scalia wants to deliver one comprehensive gut-punch to undermine much of the fundamental labor protections that certain moronic fringe elements of the GOP have long claimed are too burdensome on the economy. Make most people independent contractors. (2/x)
To be clear, this goes FAR beyond Uber drivers. That's merely the vehicle (no pun intended). The goal is to, long term, make it easier for nearly all workers to be classified as independent contractors, thereby circumventing traditional employment regulations. (3/x)
No merit to the theory that a quick RBG replacement is needed for election day court battles. Here's why. (1/x)
First, and perhaps most definitively, is that with RGB's passing, the court sits at a 5/3 ideological split, in favor of the right. This is starkly different than Scalia's death, which caused a 4/4 split. (2/x)
But also very important is that the whole idea that the country is bound to face any pivotal post-election court battles is pretty farcical, and seems to mostly stem from the FALSE idea that the judiciary exists to hear and settle general complaints and whines. (3/x)
For all the talk of uniting behind whomever it would be, it's fascinating how many people rushed to complain about not getting "their" pick, even when it hadn't been announced yet. Dems, for the love of America, converts over choir singers.
This is an example of how converts are lost. Instantly reducing Harris to someone you only can "work with", based on heavy qualification, is the kind of angst the reelection campaign will capitalize on and turn into a billboard.
Contrary to rumors, or the accolades of their fanboys/fangirls, the reelection campaign wanted a farther left pick like Harris or Warren, b/c it makes it harder for the Dem ticket to win converts. Do not fall into the trap. Double down on reaching across.
Realistically speaking, Harris and Rice are likely to be at the bottom of the list. Harris? Pfft. Rice is paradoxically perhaps the most qualified for the job, on paper, yet the least desirable pick. Here's why...
"I'm a bridge" is about more than whose best to take over in 2024. He knows there's a very real chance that he won't be around by then. He's said he wants to pick someone who is ready to take over on day one. But any good leader knows the best way to do that is about the team.
Biden's biggest goal is likely to be putting together an Administration that is so strong at every level it can basically run without the person of the POTUS. It's about STABILITY. If he dies in office the VP will be so well set up for success they could coast it out.
Apparently many people don't seem to understand how reelectable POTUS is, how badly the Democrats often play into his hands, and how the apparatus around him both governs his administration and turns what you think is weakness into strengths. So let's explain. (1/x)
It all starts with the reelection campaign that, unprecedentedly, has existed since day one of his term. Remember, it's run by his family. First they collect and analyze data, through polling, facebook mining, and other ways. Some are likely illegal, but you know...prove it.
They aren't targeting the "base," which is what many seem to think. Goal is to gain converts, retain 2016 nose holders, find new disenchanted voters who can be convinced to vote for the first time in years, given the right motivation. All in key states, of course.
