The Republicans seem to think he's good on TV. I don't know why they think this.
Orayn's 3 day ban didn't help.

Pelosi is dialing it up, says Republicans "distrust American workers—they're condescending and disrespectful of the needs of American families" by opposing $600 extension. "Their delay, their denials, their distortions have caused death." She says Trump is listening to "quacks."

It's a plausible way they could try to manipulate the results and I qualified it with a "probably." I'll try not to express too much confidence in that specific bad outcome but I don't think it's a fundamentally unreasonable fear to have.
When republicans are getting crushed on their covid response why are they still acting like complete dipshits
Looks like the WH and Mitch are not on the same page here regarding the liability protections for businesses. Mitch wants it no matter what and the WH is now being flexible on it:
Trump is scrambling for anything to help in November. He wants stimulus now to drive the stock market and change the narrative, and worry about consequences later (or more likely attack Biden for those consequences).

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany confirms my story w/ @ericawerner this morning about Trump being willing to sign a stimulus bill w/o liability shield. Says Trump is focused on unemployment benefits; up to McConnell if he'd hold up over UI
McEnany: "That's a question for Mitch McConnell ... that's his priority. This president is very keenly focused on unemployment insurance"

It's been clear from the beginning that the liability protections are something that McConnell promised big donors in some backroom deal he made for himself. Trump doesn't give a shit about saving the turtle's skin.
Trump gets sued all the time, he probably thinks it is no big deal

.@PressSec reads statement saying Trump administration "condemns" China's one-year delay of Hong Kong's election, which she says "undermines democracy."

He owns Libs with his sleeves rolled up. What's not to love?
Maximum pressure over the weekend to turn the narrative that the dems are actually stalling UI is about what I expected. The average person wouldn't know squat about the existing house deal, basically up to general public to be informed enough by whatever they watch as to the existing house deal and what each party actually stands for. I'd be more concerned if Dems hadn't been holding strong all week so idk, feel pretty good going into the weekend.
That poll brings up the same question I had as to who going forward would really care about the Kennedy name.
True Colors:
NEWS: Andrew Cuomo is blocking Democrats' bill to slightly raise taxes on billionaires — to balance the budget, Cuomo has instead pushed Medicaid cuts as his billionaire donors have increased their wealth by $22 billion during the pandemic.

Damn, that sucks. Obviously any scenario in which Trump is pardoned (or self-pardoned) is one where the pardon would be immediately accepted. Well, thanks anyway! Something to keep our eyes on.
It's just like that CHIP bullshit.
- Deliberately let children's health insurance program expire
- Ignore it monthly for any renewal despite Dems bringing it up in the House
- January comes, attach funding for it to the shitty spending bill
- "LOOK, DEMS HATE CHILDREN, THEY WON'T VOTE FOR CHIP and this garbage GOP spending bill WHAT ABOUT KIDS HUH?"

Lol even with leaners it's 16% undecided. Not a good sign for Markey.
stop bringing logic into this, dammit :| unfortunately i can't disagree
I'm fine with either. Markey was my rep for many years (ironically now it's Kennedy). Rather have Markey tho.
I don't understand why we elevate blue bloods who inherit their privileged statuses in life, it almost never works out. People like FDR are not the norm.
It's pretty obvious that he is a rabid psycho asshole. No need to mince words on that one.
And was someone who was advocating for the deaths of others by speaking out against masks. Talk shit get hit.
What a motherfucker. Don't fucking cut Medicaid during a pandemic you lunatic.
I'e noticed that the few paper bills I still get are coming days later than normal.
People love the mail. You'd think Trump would lose on this one issue alone.
NuSwamp: Smells worse than the old swamp!
At least there's one part of the feds doing something productive.
All the more reason to blow Trump the fuck out in November. No excuses for voting third-party this year.
