The thing is, you can see the legacy media get more and more desperate as they realize what's coming. But they're complete fucking idiots, so they only know two buttons on the machine -- push hard and push harder.

The negative spin is too over the top even for the normies at this point. People don't wanna hear about how Trump's a big fat doo doo head because he didn't telepathically know last year to ask people to make more masks and ventilators (which would have been ignored or called fear mongering), they want to know how we're gonna get out of this without 50 million dead in the US, and exactly how we're gonna fuck over China for doing this to us.

My one complaint is that he tweets excessively about things that could and did bit him in the butt later on (i.e. the stock market recovering, things being fine), where vaguer platitudes would have sufficed in a fast-moving and uncertain context.

I think this would have a been a good time to have been 'more unifying', but I do understand that that's basically impossible if the media is 100% set on making this his Katrina and the Dems are unwilling to work in good-faith. At some point, you've got to fight back.

Overall, I think that he should be able to make it out with relatively little damage if he can restart the economy in short term, and if he can successfully demonstrate that China & the WHO, and the FDA & CDC are the real culprits (for respectively downplaying the issue and for failing to make working test kits).

Anyone who would get caught up on that needs to learn to identify and ignore self serving and unfalsifiable statements and they need to do it sooner rather than later. They should consider this a learning opportunity.

Anyone who would make a market move based on the President being optimistic deserves to lose their money. A person should be basing it on one thing and one thing only: risk. How much risk are you willing to take? What the President says should not play a factor in you accepting more risk.

I suspect this will all culminate in an electoral strategy by the DNC, where they can't directly attack the coronavirus strategy without looking crass, so will instead front their criticism with Asian Americans, who accuse Trump's China bashing of stoking anti-Asian sentiment in America.

George Takei will get on Vox and Buzzfeed, saying we're a hairs breath away from a retread FDR's Japanese internment camps, but in the 40s it was largely on suspicion of sedition. Today, there are thousands of foreign students and businesspeople that have been invited into the country despite nakedly being loyal to the enemy faction

Trump just has to bring up affirmative action being used against Asians and he already got attacked hard for his response to the Charlottesville protests, if that shit didn't hurt him, how would this. And George Takei has already attacked him before on those grounds so no point doing it again.

Takei has basically two songs he can do: OH MAI and MUH CAMPS.
He was going on about the internment long before Orange Man was on the political radar.

we've known that since 2016, remember when that one dude walked naked on the podium?

Just imagine : 2024 Kane and his VP tag-team partner, the Undertaker vs. the Rock, the people's champion, with Mick Foley. Shane McMahon could be the special guest moderator, I mean, referee.

if the entire libertarian party got replaced by pro wrestlers it would probably be the most successful it has ever been, both in getting votes and achieving ideals
but iirc Kane's ambitions are the Senate

Did we miss this?

Biden is being MeToo'd.

Jezebel writer Emily Alice Alford (1983-03-13)- @alfordalice on Twitter- is trying to pretend that Joe Biden isn't a rapist because the reporters who have documented his crimes haven't disclosed all their sources so that her fellow neoliberal trolls can attack them(what happened to the right of journalists to keep sources confidential?).

Tara Reade's Allegations Deserve More Care

On March 25, writer and comedian Katie Halper released a seven-minute excerpt from a forthcoming episode of her podcast, The Katie Halper Show, in which former Joe Biden staffer Tara Reade alleges that in 1993, Biden sexually assaulted her in the workplace. In the clip, Reade tearfully says...

Alford's phone number is reportedly 318-393-8771, according to her Florida voter registration that suggests she isn't actually resident in Florida (which would be consistent with her Twitter profile and other information. I wonder why she would fraudulently stay registered in Florida while actually being resident in California? Very interesting.

Is there any actual evidence Biden's a rapist besides him being kinda creepy and someone accusing him?

No one can go outside, so rallies & voting are out of the question as of now.

Big question is when they’ll decide to pull the plug and declare a candidate to ‘unify the party’, or if things ease up enough for both campaigns to creak into the July convention.

I’m hoping Bernie hangs on as long as possible.

There’s an argument that he could try to stay in and mentally outlast Biden.

I'm beginning to think that Joe Biden has even better luck than Trump.

This pandemic lets him run out the clock on the nomination process, it takes the attention off him, it lets him stay at home and it keeps Bernie from doing rallies in front of thousands opposite Biden who can't even fill up a telephone booth.

Unless Joe Biden got a sudden heart attack or another illness . Bernie should drop.

On the other hand, will the Bernis bros get the UJDS (Uncle Joe Derangement syndrome)?

He bought a shirt and jacket at least, but it's a good analysis, notably that Bernie calling himself socialist just puts people off outside the world of leftard Tweeters.

All joking aside, that is literally the point of the convention, to hash out problems selecting the nominee and ensure there's a clear winner by a specific date.

After the 1968 debacle the Democrats got too scared to let things play out on the floor, and tried to get things wrapped up earlier. The GOP went the same route, and the individual states helped this by bumping their primary/caucus dates earlier in the year to become more relevant. (As a side effect, this lengthened the campaigning season, requiring more money to be dumped into politics for a candidate to be successful.) This breaks down from time to time, like the 2012 GOP convention where Ron Paul's delegates were steamrolled; but putting that schism on display is a feature of the convention format.

The conventions turned into an arena to hash out party platforms and make a grand show of unity, but the structures are still in place to do the real work of selecting nominees. The Democrats may not want to rely on it, but they may not have a choice.

Just wait a while, once the Bernouts get their Trumpbucks, then it's time to drop.
