Politics: Y'all ready for this?

It's the best I got. Get it, because the south.

Anyway, Joe is going to crush on Saturday and gain some Joementum and then it'll all come crashing down on Super Tuesday when Bernie does fairly well. What a cycle we're in for.

I don't think that Joe is going to do as well as Joe thinks he is.

I think South Carolina is going to be very good to him. He's spent a lot of time and money there. There are a non-insignificant number of scenarios in which he gets all of the pledged delegates.

if it weren't for his personal problems in 16, he should be the president. but as of today this sums it up with him.

he won't get out of the primary, but he would still beat trump one on one in a general though.

He’s going to win big, or Steyer is going to force a three way tie. That was my guess before the debate, and it is what I still believe.

I get Bloomberg to a certain degree but someday someone is going to have to explain to me the attraction of Tom Steyer. He has said nearly nothing of substance in every debate in which he participated and I am not sure I can articulate a single one of his policy positions (except MAYBE climate control, which is on everybody's list - except Trump's).

Separately, DB Jr. had this to share on FnF this morning following a question about whether or not he was surprised by the way Democrats have been "handling" the coronavirus situation:

Ah, not at all. We've seen, like you said, we've seen this play out for four years. Anything that they can use to try to hurt Trump, they will. Anything he does in a positive sense -- like we heard from the reporter that was just suspended from ABC -- they will not give him credit for. The playbook is old at this point. But for them to try to take a pandemic and seemingly hope that it comes here, and kills millions of people so they can end Donald Trump's streak of winning is a new level of sickness.

I don't know if this is coronavirus or Trump Derangement Syndrome, but these people are infected badly. To run that in The New York Times -- this isn't Vox, this isn't one of those left-wing journals -- this is The New York Times writing this with seriousness, it's truly sick. Now those same Democrats last week, when my father shut down travel to and from China, were saying it's an overreaction, it's a disaster, 'you're being xenophobic'. Now, they're flipping that. I mean they can have it both ways because no one in the media will actually cover themselves honestly. And that's what's gone on and I think the American people have seen it for what it is and it's an absolute travesty.

Of course, none of the empty heads sitting on the FnF couch thought it was worthwhile to follow up on Mini-Me's offensive claim that Democrats were hoping millions of Americans died from COVID-19. Jr. went on to try to continue the party line that the debates are the reason for the stock market decline.

Can’t believe the disrespect that Barry Sanders got when Garth wore his jersey.

Then again, I never cared much for Garth Brooks myself.

Those are active swing State voters

We've long ago been fucked

Republican response to Covid-19: Tax Cuts.

It's beyond self-parody at this point.

Courts ruled that Congress cannot due the executive branch to enforce subpoenas... So...???

They cannot sue the executive branch to enforce subpoenas. So, there is no way to enforce subpoenas. I did not read the case, so I cannot confirm nor deny my synopsis of Calvin's post.

hat's some crazy shit. So the legislative branch has no check on the executive branch?

I saw this on a Fox News chyron at the gym. Any details? Tax cuts for corporations to make up for lost profits?

Sounds like socialism. Maybe we should vote for free markets here?

Impeachment, I guess? That's a pretty high bar though.

Yeh, but hard to impeach if you can't subpoena. Congress will now see nothing
