2- Also, though it pains me to say it, notice how Pelosi rarely plays defense or apologizes, even when she has a terrible hand.
Compare & contrast with @GOPLeader, who gets his daily talking points from corporate captured Frank Luntz’s polling data & focus groups.
3- Here’s the lessons I’ve gleaned.
-Play offense, not defense
-Never apologize
-Don’t let them frame the debate
-Mock then incessantly (they deserve it)
-Assume the Media is the enemy
-Assume the Left is as dumb as they appear, but also dangerously authoritarian
2- One of the weird similarities is how the the deep state managed to create a fiasco across an outgoing / incoming Administration. Almost as if that’s the optimal time to do crazy shit.
3- Another interesting parallel is that JFK campaigned on aggressively fighting communism, accusing Eisenhower / Nixon of being too soft on the USSR aka “Red Menace”.
Once he became president JFK was trapped by his own campaign rhetoric.
1- "To say I was ready or prepared for my test result to come back positive would be an understatement. It happened so quickly and I am thankful to be vaccinated and healthy."
This is a testament to mass PR and obedience if ever there was one (cont).
1- "The result could well encourage responsible Americans to get on with their lives while allowing recalcitrant vaccine refusers to face the consequences of their reckless conduct."
Sure @JRubinBlogger - Never mind people who over-eat, don't exercise, smoke & drink (cont).
2- “Two more Labour MPs – Emma Hardy and Feryal Clark – are isolating, while two Tory MPs – Darren Henry and Dean Russell – also revealed they would be missing the debate and votes because they had tested positive. The SNP’s Douglas Chapman is also isolating.”
All is well.
3- “With so many absences, Peter Grant, an SNP MP, raised concerns about MPs continuing to crowd together through the lobbies in the House of Commons on Wednesday.”
1- "..the Heat only had 10 players available because of injuries and one COVID-19 case and the Bulls were down to 11 because of a larger COVID outbreak within the team."
2- "Chicago coach Billy Donovan said Saturday, “We’ve got a lot of guys sitting at home with no symptoms right now.”
Maybe COVID isn't the problem. Maybe thinking crappy vaccines stop COVID is the problem. Maybe testing nonstop is the problem.
3- "Wing Caleb Martin is also asymptomatic, Spoelstra indicated, and will likely have to sit out until Dec. 21, even though he and every one of his teammates has their booster shots, in addition to being fully vaccinated."
Boosters @NBA virtually mandated didn't move the dial.
