Bernie Sanders Is Not Done Fighting [Click] Having just read this New Yorker interview, I am posting it here again in case you haven’t read it. I think it’s really fine.
ReplyDeleteFrom politicalwire.com:
ReplyDeleteA new Gallup poll finds President Trump’s approval rate dropping from 49% to 39% in just a month.
A new Politico/Morning Consult poll also shows Trump’s approval at 39%.
A new Data for Progress poll finds Joe Biden leading Donald Trump nationally in the presidential race, 54% to 40%.
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds Biden ahead by 46% to 38%.
We need to improve all those numbers, but with Trump’s help there is still time.

ReplyDeleteThe trump aides can try all they want, but it should be abundantly clear to them after all this time that trump listens to nobody. He trusts his "gut" (of which he has plenty) and his "common sense" (of which he has none).

ReplyDelete"They wanted to show that the problem of policing in America is more than that of individual bad officers; the problem is a culture that protects wrongdoers, tolerates mendacity, rewards blind loyalty and is fiercely resistant to change. More deeply, it is a law enforcement culture that does not regard black lives as worthy of protection.
And what did the cops do? They responded with a display of organized, unchecked power — on camera, in a way that many Americans might never be able to unsee."
OHIO: As of Wednesday afternoon, there have been at least 39,575 confirmed or probable cases in the state, 2,457 deaths, and 6,693 hospitalizations, according to the Ohio Department of Health.

Montgomery County public health officials also echoed their concern about rising numbers in the county.
“Public Health (Dayton & Montgomery County) also has a concern about the rise of cases here in Montgomery County. We’re trying to make those cases stay level and then drop off. Right now, they’re still going up and that is a concern," said Public Health spokesman Dan Suffoletto."

ReplyDeleteI'm no expert, but I find myself wondering if this doesn't trace back to the Clinton-era decision to allow the merger of commercial banks and investment banks. From where I sit, JP Morgan and Chase don't look like the same sort of thing.
DeleteI very much agree, Bill. We need a new Glass-Steagall Act. IMO.
DeleteAbsolutely. Commercial banks and investment houses were separated for a reason. IMHO a lot of our current woes can be traced back to Clinton's presidency.

ReplyDeleteWhy Biden Shouldn’t Waste Time [and money] In Texas [Click]
ReplyDeleteBefore reading: My feeling from all the e-mail lists I find myself on is that down ballot Democrats, especially women, are doing well in Texas. Based on that observation, assuming it is accurate, I should have thought it would be very much worthwhile for Biden to work hard there. *shrug* But, what do I know? It is completely possible that I'm wrong about the down ballot races...

ReplyDeleteYour wedding's been cancelled by the coronavirus lockdown? Good. [Click] “marriage duration is inversely associated with the spending on the ceremony and the engagement ring.” My folks were married in the preacher’s parlor, and there were two others present, their best friends and witnesses. Their marriage lasted until my father passed away. My wife and I were married at the US Consulate in Tokyo and the local ward office; a wedding was thoroughly impractical. Thirty-seven years so far and she hasn’t kicked me out yet.
ReplyDeleteNASCAR Bans Confederate Flags at Races
ReplyDeleteJune 10, 2020 By Taegan Goddard
From a statement: “The presence of Confederate flags at NASCAR events runs contrary to our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all fans, our competitors, and our industry.”
June 10, 2020 By Taegan Goddard
“I’m a 7th generation Mississippian. I’ve helped elect Governors and Senators in MS, AL, GA, TX, OK, NC and FL. Trump will lose more white voters with his Confederate defense than gain. Majority very much want to move past Civil War and hatred, not relive it. NASCAR gets it. Trump doesn’t.”
— GOP strategist Stuart Stevens, on Twitter.

Definitely not a good trend here.
Family is probably not coming after all.
We are thinking we'll go to Maine the last weekend of June.
Moving two adults is easier than moving the lot of them.
Also, Maine is opening to more people starting July 1st, and that's when the vacationers will take over the beaches and COVID-19 will blossom anew. Sigh.
There's a lot of sparsely inhabited land in Maine, isn't there?
