Nah, we were always in that phase.
This is the worse end of stuff we were expecting a year ago.
GOP think people are terrible because GOP are terrible people.
He's arguing that if we make people financially comfortable during our work furloughs and shutdowns, we won't be clawing at each other's throats to reopen everything as soon as possible even if the danger persists.
The GOP wants to starve out the American workforce rather than bailout everyday workers for a few months. Remember the shutdown last year? Christ that seems like a lifetime ago.
I realize why Polis hasn't called for a statewide stay at home. The same idiots as ever will refuse to enforce it -- El Paso, Weld, Morgan counties. Hell, the Republican state reps from Douglas County are asking the county commissioners to abandon the health district they are in as well as the stay at home order already.
This is what the president is causing with his words and actions.

the people who voted for Biden literally changed their minds over night. They aren't attached to him and I doubt they give a shit
Previously, the story was that he was too touchy on the shoulders and hair. And he apologized and said he would recognize personal space more.
Can the National Guard be utilized in that kind of situation though?

Last year when she just accused him of inappropriate touching/violating personal space, he gave this apology.
There's layers of this that basically adds up to the fact that democracy is trash, FPTP is trash, the electoral college is trash, and people in power are generally trash, and I personally assume they're trash from the get-go so I'm not surprised when they're revealed to be more trash than the surface shows.
They'll give a shit when it seems like their votes are being overriden. People are dumbasses.
Back in April:
Nevada County woman says Joe Biden inappropriately touched her while working in his U.S. Senate office
A Nevada County woman has added her voice to a recent spate of allegations that former vice president and possible presidential candidate Joe Biden touched her when she worked in
Or we could nominate a man who we have no reason to suspect has done anything like that....which there are a lot of. One currently still running, in fact.
They could, but I worry they might get shot at by some of the residents.
I wish I was joking
And the incredibly sad part is that you have to vote for the less trash person because the other greater trash person will continue to hurt minorities and you're inadvertently helping perpetuate the cycle of trash people getting in and out of office.
Trump is going to have a tantrum at Graham for messing up the 2-day market rally. 30 minutes ago the Dow literally was at +1,200 but as soon as word got out that Graham and cohorts wanted to stall the bill because poor people will benefiting too much, the market started drop like a rock and ended at +495 far away from the daily high.
The cycle would perpetuate with or without my vote. I don't get to choose whether not we get a President, I get to vote for the one that will fuck over less people, or might even have a net positive effect despite themselves. FPTP is trash.
Seconded.
She has in the past accused him of inappropriate touching right? With the new details now we will also have to see if other women come forward. Past tells us it is never once.
I too probably would have supported the candidate who didn't assault me over the one that did. I know that's probably a weird position to have
This is completely stupid and disrespectful to post about a victim.
Someone doesn't support my candidate of choice so... 0 credibility.
And to be very, very, very clear:
I am not saying she is doing this as some type of hit on Biden. Not at all. She said it happened. We should believe her. Just that if she doesn't want it to appear that way, perhaps it would be best to not attach a tag supporting Biden's rival in the primary. (I assume rival? The thing is over, but I have no idea what else to call him at this point.)

All for grandstanding bullshit,they want to keep the same playbook during a pandemic.
Bernie has been such shit this cycle, he's retroactively rendered his entire movement irrelevant. The embarrassing turnout from his base proved that they don't matter, at all, and shouldn't be catered to. It was like the Spider-Man 3 of campaigns.

Saying maybe she shouldn't make her support of Bernie so outwardly evident because it exposes her to bad faith attacks on her credibility as a sexual assault survivor is one thing.
But making those attacks yourself? Get out of here.
I want Bernie, but I don't give a shit if it's not him. I'm not voting for a god damn rapist.
Dan Zak @MrDanZakThere are many scared and sick people out there, but the president says they are not "real." https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1242905328209080331 …

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrumpThe LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success. The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!

I mean, I get where you're coming from. I think, though, that we need more information. While I have no reason whatsoever to disbelieve her, she did say earlier in the year that it was never sexual outside the hair thing. Obviously she may have been trying to protect herself and didn't want to come forward sooner. That's an unfortunate reality many victims of sexual violence face. I think we need more information.
At the end of the day, we live in a binary reality. It's either going to be Trump or Biden. That's the reality of the situation. Biden is preferable in every single solitary way to Trump. So, while I respect your right to hold that view point, I can't join you there.
We could have just nominated Warren and been done with this whole thing, but Americans hate women. So here we are.
That is pretty much how I'm feeling about the whole thing. Backtracking on her previous claims and then the #BernieIsOurFDR usage in this updated claim seems a little sketchy. I need more info to pass judgement either way, but there are no witnesses nor any other claims of his behavior going to the extent that she is now saying so... Yeah, just not sure, and am still fully supporting Biden unless more information comes to light that would make me reconsider.
