Joe Rogan believes the idea of a president is one that does not work. He does not believe one person can be in charge of three hundred million plus.
I know many here agree with this sentiment.
Somebody gave me a Nodium for submitting Red & Black to their Walrus.

GOP lesson will be to appoint more zealous blindly loyal judges in the future.
Trump wouldnāt want to necessarily win again. He just wants to be able to legally campaign until the day he dies so his followers can support him financially.
Iām pretty confident Joe Rogan understands the concept of delegating work. The guys empire is getting to be pretty sprawling at this point. Iām sure it would take him very little time to realize that the federal government is massive and the president isnāt supposed to be micro managing things like a pandemic response.
One of the reasons Trump has been such a disaster is that heās a notorious micro manager. Micro management is usually a sign that the supervisor and the supervised arenāt a very good match. If the supervisor micro manages everyone theyāre the problem, if the supervised has to be micro managed or all hell breaks loose they are the problem. Trump micromanages everything. Heās the kind of guy who wants to pick out the color of the carpet. He wants a letter with his name sent on the checksā¦ and he cares where the government puts their next gathering hotel wise. He decides which intelligence is important (itās whatās on Fox) and he decides what the government is going to do moment to moment.
Itās not at all compatible with actually being president, which is basically a decision making job where subordinates bring you stuff to read about the decision for background and then you make a callā¦ and itās on to the next one. At least that seems to be how the Obama, Bush, Clinton, original Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, and at least Eisenhower administrations worked on a basic level. Sure there were high level conversations about direction and goals aplenty, but the day to day is just making the big decisions that come up. Trump wonāt let anybody else make a little decision without sucking up to him and asking for it first.
Also the job is very much a multiple choice test with a blank you can write something else in if you feel very very strongly about it. Trump always fills in some preschool shit in crayon on that open line that most presidents use maybe once or twice a year their whole presidency. Bush the second almost certainly used it zero times.

I want to like this post, but Iām afraid that Iāll forget to remove the like once Florida is called for Trump.

I put me and my brothers name in there, it was wholly reversed. My one trump voting brother primarily goes to Biden. And me and my Biden voting brother show trump.
Not even the same ballpark. JW Black is probably 30% single malts and 70% grain whisky. Itās not bad but I donāt really care for the bitterness of the grain whisky thatās used in all scotch blends. Iāve read thatās from the barrels they use for the grain whisky, which have been re-used many times. And the grain whisky in JW Black is aged 12 years in barrels, so that flavor is stronger in JW black than in something like Famous Grouse, which probably ages its grain whisky like four or five years. So while JW Black is perfectly drinkable, I actually prefer the Grouse at 60% of the price.
And then you compare JW Black to reasonably priced single malt blends like Shackleton or Monkey Shoulder, and itās no contest. Theyāre cheaper with none of that grain whisky flavor.
The numbers are pretty good for he city parts too. St. Louis City is at 80%. We know the Trump supporters are going to show upā¦ they showed up in 2016 at crazy rates and will absolutely do the same in 2020. The thing thatās different is that weāre getting crazy turnout too this time it looks like.
Thereās also an adage with shared responsibility that if everyone is responsible, no one is responsible. Itās a derail for maybe another thread, but I work for a very large corporation and many of the operational clusterfucks happen because no one knew who was responsible for something and/or critical tasks had no clear responsible person or department. Iām not 100% opposed to the idea of not having a president, or separately electing posts like Commander in Chief, SoS, and other federal figureheads that have clearly delineated responsibilities and are not subservient to each other.
Fuckin foreign election interference
Is it the year they need to push it when the candidate is Trump? If they keep the senate they can obstruct four another four years.
I just donāt really see old school republican operators saying āTrump is the guy we must pull out all the stops for!ā I think most shenanigans are going to be courtesy of neophyte trumpers and not rove and his ilk.
Arenāt Indiana and Kentucky historically called early? 350EV and 5 milkshakes seem solid, but I think you took the worst of it here.
Iām not letting myself go here emotionally but this could be an absolute waffle crushing.

Trump cannot win fairly with these numbers but because the 2016 polls were āwrongā people just arenāt going to widely accept that the only way he won was due to rampant cheating. Theyāll just think polls are useless and it will be a self-fulling prophecy since future polls/elections will no longer matter.
