if this illustrates anything, it’s that trump committed one of the most egregious political errors of all time in stonewalling a second big recovery bill all last year
biden is pretty much just mopping up all the easy rebounds trump left on the court and running up an insane score
what happened here is trump applied his usual idiot mobster “dealmaker” playbook - I have something you want, what will you give me for it - completely oblivious to the fact that just passing a second giant covid recovery bill alone was the thing he could have won on
he wanted to extract something from the democrats he could wave around as a political “victory” instead of just taking the slam dunk victory passing a big spending bill would have been on its own
just amazing to me that one man could bat 1000 at “setting easy wins on fire”
don’t think the already highly questionable integrity of these polls holds up much longer than an hour so I’m just gonna observe the results here are pretty wild & a good clue why republicans can’t lay a hit on biden
bananas stuff here, would kill to see this run as a real national poll
I’m now fascinated with this. not because I’m judging anyone who got the answer wrong (it was right at the end of bush’s last term) but because of how obama opposition retconned history by launching “thanks obama” as a response to every bit of bad news right out of the gate
this take just absolutely rules and I’m so glad erick released it into the wild so it’s not just conjecture about how this shit perpetuates
there’s so much incredible shit going on here but the one I’m fascinated with is how erick only sort of understands the formula that’s brought us a week of “dems cancelled dr seuss” and can’t quite figure out how to apply it here but gosh darn it he is gonna swing for the fences
well I for one find it astounding that the bizarre ceremonial self-indulgent vestigial limb of a colonial power that plundered half the globe retains racist attitudes!
what next, the daughters of the confederacy aren’t just very passionate about history? is there nothing I can trust
now to take a big sip of coffee and check in to see what the catholic church has been up to the last few years, the one institution I know won’t fail me
hell of a move to force the GOP to tie themselves up in knots taking the side of the big tech they hate and trying to claim populist working class cred while savaging the amazon workers who helped get an awful lot of americans through the last year
actually a little curious to see whether the tucker carlson faction sniffs out the trap here and sides with biden or at least sits this one out because the alternative is such a lose lose
I don’t understand the leftist complaints about biden when he’s shown himself early to constantly avoid the easy plays and instead make the bold move to take the fight to the GOP where they least want it. ok I understand it but still
