2020 Election Thoughts
Changing the system would require the entities with the power to voluntarily give it up. Good luck with that one. Impeachment is easy. Conviction would require getting 17 Republican senators to vote for it. An effort doomed to fail and also ruin the careers of every R senator who went along. Good luck with that one too.

George Soros is a gazillionaire financial supporter of liberal causes. The Koch's are gazillionaire financial supporters of conservative causes. I don't have a problem with either, but it's hard to confuse them. I'm certain neither would have anything to do with a armed insurrection.

Since I just saw host Lou Dobbs on Fox in a spitting rage at Senator Ben Sasse (R-KS) for his "disloyalty" to a guy who just initiated a coup attempt against his own government, I think the answer is that DJT is still welcome on that "news" outlet.

Is anyone still pretending that the Republican administration about to leave power that increased the national debt by $6.7 Trillion was fiscally conservative? Unless that means tax cuts for the rich and austerity for everyone else.

Worse thing I've heard today? Majority Whip Jim Clyburn's (D-SC) main office on the first floor of the Capitol with his name on the door where he sees the public went untouched, while his little hard-to-find, unmarked, working office on the third floor where all the work is done and the important papers are kept was ransacked. There had to be people embedded in the crowd directing this to happen. An inside job, A coup.

What's the breakdown on seats that are up for re-election at that time?

Sad that nowadays this is unexpected. Even Rome fell and we're the Rome of today. There were 53,000 more votes cast for Republican senatorial candidates than Democrats in the general election. Something turned that around and you're probably correct on the reason. Botching the COVID and acting like a damn fool too much will do it every time.

All net from 29 feet to win it. Worth staying up for. Wendell still gets pushed around by larger centers. He did learn about the little things, like screening, maybe from RoLo and they don't show in the box score, but in many ways I'd rather see Gafford in there than Wendell missing shots from godknowswhere. All academic if you don't play either one at the end of games.

Madrigal could be ready for opening day
If one is to believe this site, he's been dangled in a trade offer. I'm with you, but not 100%. We have until the trade deadline to see what he is and if we need to move him to get some help elsewhere.

Theriot redux. ? You mean Billy Eckstine wasn't Jewish either? Or Bruce Springsteen? ?

He'll stock up on legal pads and paper clips for sure. He won't fade away. The $200M he's collected from supporters since the election will prolly be put to use politically.

He's got a sweet golf swing for a guy his age. His looks are prolly enhanced by 2 hours a day of hair and makeup. Can't blame him for that, Biden used to be white as a sheet but currently is more tanned up.

Since his man Mnuchin was on the scene for all the negotiations that led to the bill he signed, his too late push for $2000 checks was disingenuous at best. It's not as if he wasn't being informed regularly about what led to the bill. So the bluff was showboating and nothing else.

Undersized to begin with, he has bulked up some, but his future is not underneath the basket. If he doesn't develop some outside skills he doesn't have an NBA future.

Ach Dose Chermans! I believe the Dos Equis brewery was founded by German immigrants. Go to a country in the Far East and a brewery is likely to be near where the German Embassy was. Gotta go, getting thirsty.

Better yet, this was also true of the original stimulus check. If your last stimulus check was reduced because of excessive income in 2019, it will be refigured based on your 2020 income, once your 2020 return is filed, and if that results in a higher amount you will get the difference. As far as I know, this will be done automatically.

Boylen's team played defense. But this bunch does have talent that will fetch something in return and I hope that happens sooner than later. This is a team of positionless players that just does not fit together. That is Gar/Pax's legacy. Keep it intact and they win 20. Trade assets for draft picks and they still win 20. Duh.

Just in the interest of a good discussion, Prokofiev fled to the USA, but he eventually went back and subjected himself to the whims of the commissars. And miracle of miracles, wrote some of his best music after they told him to knock off the "bourgeois" atonality and write stuff that was easier to understand. Shostakovich stayed and did battle with the commissars. They both loved Mother Russia more than they hated the commies.

Karl Marx notwithstanding, most art, music, theater and literature is kept alive by the largesse of people and governments who appreciate it and support the organizations and individuals that keep it going. This is as old as civilization itself. So Karl wasn't as smart as he thought he was. Is this a bad thing? Don't ask me, I only work here. ?
