So, this is actually an interesting aspect of Adams. Part of why he won is that people believed he was both the tough-on-crime candidate and the most vigorous police reform advocate of the group, because... he'd been in the paper talking about racism in the NYPD for something like 20 years. He's got the record on butting heads with top brass in the department. We'll have to wait and see how that plays out when he's mayor; there's different incentives there.
one way for the GOP to be against gerrymandering is if dems get better at it.
This is why statistics needs to be better taught in America. The median covid fatality being 80 still means that a ton of people younger than 80, and younger even then the US life expectancy, will die due to covid.
In fact, the median fatality being 80y old could also actually lower the US life expectancy period.
Here is a study that projects about a one year reduction in average life expectancy in the US in 2020:
Reductions in 2020 US life expectancy due to COVID-19 and the disproportionate impact on the Black and Latino populations
COVID-19 has generated a huge mortality toll in the United States, with a disproportionate number of deaths occurring among the Black and Latino populations. Measures of life expectancy quantify these disparities in an easily interpretable way. We project that COVID-19 will reduce US life...

This of course, doesn't even mention that a number of people that survived covid will experience lifetime complications.
I mean, they already ran on (below), with TX's guy I think it was saying grandparents should be willing to sacrifice themselves. The party of "pro life" and "death panels!!!!". We've also had about 75K deaths in the 54 and under age range, which is nearly 19,000 Benghazi's.
Given he's perfectly fine with the windfall wealthy Americans recieved with Trump's tax cuts, it's kind of incredible to me that he can say this about covid stimulus, out in the open and still be electable. Why isn't the hypocrisy and blatant double standard thrown back in his face? America is weird as hell man. I've never seen a country where the poor are so eager to be fleeced by the rich."So my advice to members of the legislature and others ― local officials ― is to spend it wisely, because hopefully this windfall doesn't come along again."
McConnell Admits Democrats Deserve All The Credit For $4 Billion Coming To Kentucky
The Kentucky senator acknowledged that his state would benefit from the American Rescue Plan, even though he voted against the funds.www.huffpost.com
Not entirely sure how reliable Haberman is, but man, MAN, if this is true, this would be an almost fascinatingly stupid thing for Trump to do.
Facebook has already said they might let him back on in two years.
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
Astonishing, isn't it?
He's openly saying, "Elect me and I'll make sure you get nothing. Unless you're rich."
Tbh I prefer that honesty to those assholes who voted against it then tried to take credit for it back hone.
No, the only way for the GOP to be against gerrymandering is if the Dems get more advantage out of it than they do, which often has more to do with controlling more states than being "better" at it. (which is mostly a matter of using the right computer programs with the right database to get the optimal results)
One downside of Dems going all in on the gerrymandering themselves would be that getting a federal ban on gerrymandering through congress would be even tougher if lots of Dems owe their current seat to the practice. There's already some resistence to the gerrymandering ban in the For the People Act by Democrats who feel that passing it would result in them getting redistricted out of their seat and being wary of taking the L for the greater good.
This isn't a good thing, if he wins that sets a really really really bad precedent.
He won't win, even with real, un-Trumpy lawyers. But the people he will likely hire are gonna make a clownshow of it.
I don't think he can win. There's no constitutional right to membership of a privately owned service and Trump accepted and acknowledged the terms of service when he clicked that checkbox upon creating his account.
If that were to happen then Democrats will give up on trying to fight gerrymandering. They only care about it right now because they can't do it as well as Republicans. Same goes for y'all.
Lol at the person getting angry at holding it for a book, because surely this quote would have sunk him.
We knew about Trump for decades. Was never a secret, he'd make comments from time to time. People continued to mingle with him anyway.
So he's going to sue regarding membership in a privately-owned venue, and open himself up to discovery on a topic regarding membership in a privately-owned venue. Seems smart.

Right now there isn't a line for partisan gerrymandering. The Supreme court have twisted themselves into knots *not* to establish one. Openly partisan gerrymandering has actually been a way to successfully gerrymander, because if you're doing it openly on party lines, you've got a great defense that you aren't doing it on racial (say) lines.
*Any* standard to say X is too far for partisan gerrymandering would definitely lead to a number of law suits in states the GOP gerrymandered to argue that those states have gone too far.
His voters are racists and he's not going to stop advocating for racist policy. Economics don't have anything to do with it.
The guy who is begging for a cheap lawyer is going to sue gigantic business entities? I'm skeptical.
I think this is simply a way to try to influence them to let him back on. This lawsuit would be tossed so fast.
I'm sure they'd be happy take him for millions more in defamation.
The timing of this story tells me that the turnout at his speeches was nowhere near what they expected and they're worried he is losing influence.
I feel like this is just another instance of Mouthpiece Maggie Haberman doing her service, and it will be followed by a Trump statement saying, "Maybe I will sue them!" to again try and convince them to let him back on.
I guarantee Twitter isn't scared in the least.

I mean all they have to do is bring a copy of the TOS. Case closed.
It's real, and he's being backed by a conservative group:
- "Trump's legal effort is supported by the America First Policy Institute, a non-profit focused on perpetuating Trump's policies.
- The group's president and CEO and board chair, former Trump officials Linda McMahon and Brooke Rollins, will accompany him during the announcement.
- Class action lawsuits would enable him to sue the two tech CEOs on behalf of a broader group of people that he argues have been censored by biased policies."
Lol this is hilarious and I guarantee its all for show. The 'lawsuit' wont go anywhere and he and his 'team' know this. Just another grift.
Wait until his supporters start getting emails titled 'Trump is fighting FOR YOU against the lame stream social media dictators! Support him now with just $10 so he knows you support him too!'

He called WWII soldiers "suckers and losers" on the same trip and it had no effect either.
Dog and pony show: "Don't you remember when I was tough on brown people? Don't you wish I was in charge again?"
Even if they do, it just gets lifted to a higher court on appeal.
Those 4 years of garbage might have had some effect. He did lose as an incumbent President. That is significant.
But he got even more votes than in 2016 which is depressing as hell.
Edit:
Anyone want to see what a physical illustration of bat shit crazy looks like? Because I found it:
Does it also look like a butthole? Yes. Yes it does.

Weren't republicans using inflation as a reason not to pass stimulus?
But he will spin them as a win. It was something he learned from roy Cohen that piece of shit
MISSION OVER EGO!
PUT TRUMP'S FACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOARD AND MAKE SURE IT'S THE BIGGEST FACE OF ALL THE FACES. ALSO MAKE SURE TO UNDERLINE JESUS AND HAVE THAT ARROW POINT AT TRUMP.
He has no shot in hell of winning that.
Sir, you violated our CLEARLY STATED TERMS AND CONDITIONS numerous times. You were warned and when you ignored those warnings, we reserved our right to refuse your use of the service.
It's a company, not a government resource. 1st amendment doesn't apply.
I just kind of take the lawsuit as a way Trump's people came up with to keep him relevant--his rallies draw in big crowds, but they don't keep him in the broader public mind the way they used to. If he really does intend to run again, he needs something to make the non-faithful remember he exists on occasion.
Why the hell would they pick that picture of Trump? I realize the zoom quality isn't great but he's not smiling or looking particularly determined. It's just such a bad pic!

No one is going to look great when Rudy is floating out of their right ear.
And having it as a class-action will just be a collection of people who all broke the well-defined rules individually. I'm boggled by this.
