I continue to be baffled by these stories about how much pressure Biden faces from the left. The left shot its wad with Bernie, and progressive voters are concentrated in states whose November vote is preordained. What are they going to do to increase pressure, tweet in ALL CAPS?
The progressive left created a real conundrum for itself as a pressure group with its strategic decision to contest other Democrats rather than learning how to defeat Republicans.
Biden has effectively isolated himself from all political pressure to move left by staying off Twitter, and I love it.
As a Polish guy, I won't hide my delight at the fact that the progressive left does worst among the working class, whom they then scold for not understanding their own best interest
(My own political position is that I love the comrades but want to win elections)

I'll livetweet today's Apple event in this thread for old time's sake, and if you enjoy it, please take a minute to give some scratch to the Great Slate! These rural Democrats didn't take away your headphone jack—they want more headphone jacks for all. secure.actblue.com/donate/great_s…

Thanks Google Image
Same paid Trump result sits on top of Google searches for "vote atlanta/marietta/savannah", "where can I vote georgia", "early voting locations georgia", and lots of similar combinations. Boy are Google employees going to be outraged tomorrow!
This morning the paid Trump ads sitting at the top of "where to vote" queries on Google seem to have moved to Florida. Where else are people spotting them? ImageImage

Everyone is re-iterating how honored they are to be treating the President, while the President has asked to pass along how honored he is to be treated by this team. The virus is undoubtedly even more honored to be killing such an illustrious figure.
The medical team says Trump suffered a second episode of low blood oxygen yesterday morning, so pretty much at the time they were outside telling us how great he was doing.
Probably should leave one of the doctors inside tomorrow during the health briefing

This is pretty great. "This morning the President is doing great, couldn't be better. Now let me introduce his 9-person medical team!" Image
This is clearly not the Obamacare bronze plan
Just a word of advice from an Eastern European. The medical news always gets rosier and rosier. Always count the doctors. They're not there to hold the healthy Great Leader back from bolting out of the hospital to do the people's work

People posting exact seating charts of an outdoor event are jumping to unwarranted conclusions about when/where a superspreading event took place, thereby guaranteeing themselves an audience of hundreds of thousands on this fine site
Like yeah, maybe you are a sports statistician who just happened to identify the exact moment a superspreading event took place outdoors. Or maybe this exclusive group of people with the best seats in the house also had a VIP event or reception inside?
If only we had subject matter experts to look into these things with more rigor!
