I never had the chance to watch it live in a theater, and I've only ever gotten to listen to the sound track. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. They obviously took a lot of liberties in the story telling, but it was an interesting perspective on some of the founders. King George and his super-catchy 1960s Beatles-esque ditty ranting about the US like it’s a lover whose scorned him was a stroke of genius.

They praised McCain until their nominee decided to attack him. Cleland left three limbs in Vietnam. Duckworth left two in Iraq. Tucker used to wear bowties. He's the patriot somehow.

Schools start after labor day at the latest, and infections and deatha would spike (assuming they even work their way back down from now, hitting teachers, administration, and support staff far harder than students) days before the election, with many people already voting! Do these fucking people not own a goddamn calendar?! This is all assuming, of course, that all these support staff and admin and teachers don't suffer massive job cuts due to budgetary reasons and no support from the feds Everything trump touches doesn't just die, it becomes instantly polarized, and in this case to the detriment of safe school operation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all assuming, of course, that all these support staff and admin and teachers don't suffer massive job cuts due to budgetary reasons and no support from the feds It's right there. If schools don't reopen, parents won't be able to return to work to get money moving in the economy again. Trump is banking on his supporters not taking the rising death toll as serious leading up the elections as long as life looks like it's back to normal. Trump believes his best election chances is contingent on everything going back to normal in the weeks leading up to the elections. It really doesn't matter if everything goes to shit, November 4.

thewhyteboar Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 The Republican cycle of governing: defund important American institution. Watch the institution wilt due to lack of funding. Further defund it. Say that due to inefficiency, the institution should be privatized. Reward friendly company. Watch private company provide the same service but at 10 times the price. Enjoy retirement with a cushy sinecure at said private company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I realize that the specific case decided in Mazars didn't start at the beginning of Trump's term, but it's still kind of crazy to me that Trump was able to withhold his tax returns for his entire term, even with most courts, and now SCOTUS, ruling against him. It seems like using the courts to delay things is Trump's one real skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
