And Iowa is in an exceptionally favorable position. Agriculture and manufacturing make up a larger proportion of its economy than they do in most other states.

When people are afraid to go outside, the economy will suffer.  Get the virus under control and the economy will get back to normal.  Science is now in control, not a raging conman.

Hey, Gerald Ford was a R-E-P-U-B-L-I-C-A-N, and Republicans aren't allowed to insult or disagree with other Republicans.  Jared is dispatching a team to come over there and confiscate your MAGA hat.

Just guessing, and IN MY OPINION, but say hello to lockdown and the end of the economic recovery. The US can join other western countries economically destroyed, like the UK.

 

History indicates otherwise. During the Spanish Flu cities that handled things more aggressively performed better than those that didn't in the aftermath.

Thailand did a PROPER lockdown nationwide. Yes, it hurt, but we got the virus contained to a manageable point. The US never did that (muh FREEEEEEEDOMS!) and as a result the virus is now running rampant. Biden is already laying the groundwork to approach the problem as an adult. He will listen to Dr. Fauci (whose job is now safe) and you will see it mitigated properly, rather than be ignored/denounced.

So you are in favor of criminals being set free?  Why not let the courts decide?

If you actually knew anything about the Flynn case you would not be rushing to call him a criminal.

Assange should also be pardoned but that is not possible because he has not been convicted. The DOJ could withdraw their case though.

What part of lying to the FBI is NOT criminal?

I know a lot about the Flynn case.  He broke the law and needs to pay the price.  Assange is another topic.

Trump Team Holds News Conference Outside Drab Landscaping Firm, Next to Adult Book Store

 

On Saturday morning, shortly before the AP and other news outlets called the election for Joe Biden, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to announce that his lawyers would be holding a “big press conference” in Philadelphia. But there seems to have been some major confusion about where it would be held. First Trump tweeted it would take place at the “Four Seasons, Philadelphia.” Trump later corrected himself and said that the news conference was going to be held at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping. And the Four Seasons Hotel sent out its own tweet, making sure everyone knew that the news conference would not be held there but rather at the landscaping business that has “no relation with the hotel.”

This is just too damned funny.  Include "Veep" in the silliness list.

Isn't there some rule that Giuliani can't be within 1,000 feet of an adult book store?

Woke to a different world this morning, so before the gloating starts, just going to say there was a certain inevitability to the result, but ....................................

 

Anyone else want to estimate how long before the US has president Harris? I'm guessing by end of 2021.

 

Enjoy the happy feeling while it lasts.

If the US has President Harris, things will be just fine. She was picked specifically because she could step in at anytime if need be. She is infinitely more intelligent than 45, understands the world, draws in actual experts, instead of the caddies and poolboys and dilettantes 45 hired (Scarvino and a guy in a sub-section of HUD).

 

Perhaps some people don't like her because she's Black and Indian, and a woman. Those dinosaurs will just have to get used to a world where everyone has opportunity and where no race or ethnicity has any inherent privilege. Yes, it's tough on incompetent types who fear competition because they know they are not up to the task of competing fairly, but that is the world today, and such people have no choice but to deal with it.

And anyone who thought that trump was the best person for the job needs to get their head examined.

 

Harris will do a good job as VP or President IMO.

The country and the world will enjoy. In fact, celebrations have broken out around the world and certainly around the US.

 

Imagine, the US will again put science over myth, superstition and willful ignorance. The US will tackle the pandemic and try to clean up the horrific medical and economic mess left by 45. Growth will return. Respect for the US will return. The US will rebuild the alliances that contributed to the enormous post-WWII growth. Children can look up to the President again. Constant lying from the Oval Office will stop.  Mothers and fathers won't have to make up excuses about the POTUS' bad behavior and childishness.

 

It was said as a slogan when Reagan came to office, but today it is absolutely true:  "It's morning in America". The long national nightmare ends right here, right now.

I think the prosecutors who quit because of Barr's interference might know something about the case.

Nothing wrong with a bit of optimism. And if the world becomes a better place, I'm all for that. Only time will tell. 

With regard to the pandemic, I suspect that by the time Biden has new curtains up in the Oval Office it will already be on a downward trajectory anyway.

According to many Trump supporters' predictions, it's been 5 days since Democrats have even raised the issue of the fake pandemic.

On your point about "wilful ignorance" the following is from a White House advisor and shows that trump just didn't care, or was too dumb to understand what his advisors were saying...

 

"White House insider Olivia Troye reveals what happened as Donald Trump dealt with the Covid-19 pandemic" 

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/white-house-insider-olivia-troye-reveals-what-happened-as-donald-trump-dealt-with-the-covid-19-pandemic/5EM6UHC5B5YRYUROUVZCK3MMLQ/

 

A former White House insider and COVID task force member has revealed a series of failures from Donald Trump at the beginning of the deadly coronavirus pandemic……

 

Former Homeland Security adviser to Vice President Mike Pence and COVID task force adviser since day one, Olivia Troye, described the White House under Donald Trump as a "reality show" and revealed that in the early days of the pandemic, Trump was warned that COVID-19 would be "worse than the flu", "more contagious" and potentially deadlier than any virus outbreak the world had seen before. She told 60 Minutes Australia that Trump, upon hearing the warnings, chose to "downplay" the virus from the very beginning and that due to his attitude, "too many lives to count" have been lost across America. Trump was "unwavering" in his determination to undermine doctors and counteract the task force's response to the growing pandemic behind the scenes, she said.
