i saw that so many schools in Oakland county are closed today. Insane.

 

Hard to grapple with everything that's going on, jfc

 

At least Biden admitting he’s oblivious to Trump gives us at least some insight into his fecklessness.

 

I’m going to start using that at work

“what happened, you never finished this project?”

“I don’t think about former projects”

 

Oh no, not one of my clients trying to get me to do work for Newsmax

 

Better you take the money than some conservative asshole

 

Ah

 

I guess the flip side to this is, there's like 3 things Joe Biden is good for, and one of them is shitting all over Donald Trump:

lol

 

I guess fingers still crossed that the vaccinated will only have mild symptoms from Omicron.

 

It's probably already in like 20+ states.

 

On the surface it seems like a nice sort of glib brush-off and a sick burn, but when I actually think about it, it really plays into Trump's hand and sorta 'two sides' and legitimizes the whole insurrection thing by making it sound like the transfer of power this last time was peaceful and business-as-usual as opposed to us barely escaping the greatest constitutional crisis our country has faced since The Civil War by dumb fucking luck.

Given that Trump hasn't gone away and is still cosplaying as president and sending out bullshit press releases and is most likely going to make a play for president again having put all sorts of lackeys in place in non-sexy yet hugely critical positions for swinging an election his way while the Republican party in general has tirelessly been working to further disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters across the country, Trump probably should cross Biden's mind from time to time.

 

It's hard for me to believe, if it's as infectious as they're saying it is, that it hasn't been found in Michigan yet. Their numbers are through the roof

 

why is it a good thing that beta odork and stacey abrams are running? just cus they're dems or what

 

Stacy might actually have a chance to win and she's much better than Kemp or whatever Republican is running? I don't really get the appeal of Beto at this point though. Kind of just a novelty candidate who really isn't all that novel

 

Travel ban for weebs

 

Stacy blatantly has an election stolen from her and was integral in Georgia going blue, also white liberals make her a savior

 

BioNTech boss more optimistic regarding variant

BioNTech’s boss, Ugur Sahin, remains sanguine about Omicron

 

With the abortion stuff going on and Dems getting ready to use it as a fundraising item, worth noting that Obama went into office - with a once-in-a-generation grip on Congress - calling the Freedom of Choice Act the “first thing he’d sign on day one” before ignoring it and eventually saying it wasn’t a priority.

 

Well of course, that's the classic Dem catch-22: Run on a policy that's popular to drive turnout and actually win an election, then once elected the line becomes "You can't expect us to pass THAT, we'd never get re-elected if we passed THAT."
