Throw him on the grill and BarrBQ him like chicken?
Joke about how Republicans lose their shit over that one time that one group of protesters did the fry 'em like bacon chant. I’m not suggesting that he be murdered, nor am I suggesting he be cooked.
Nor do I think he’d taste good with BBQ sauce. Too much ambergris.
Imagine if he just dismantled everything Obama did except the pandemic response team/playbook, completely stayed out of their way and we had a top five response in the world to this pandemic - he would have won a massive landslide.
Yep, one of the dumbest things about this whole timeline. The only reason Dems have a chance is because he fucked it up so catastrophically, and its still a goddamn coin flip.

And when Barr’s FBI doesn’t do it’s duty?
I don’t know how seriously congressional referrals to the FBI are taken, but I wouldn’t be feeling stoked or doing more criming if I were DeJoy after the court’s decision.
Yes?

Who is funding these lawsuits on behalf of dems? Probably the DNC, which no one should support, right?
I like polls likely even more than the median poster here, but can we please keep them in the POTUSBOWL and Congress threads to avoid redundancy?

The reason why we get hit with the Lol lawbros schtick isn’t because the courts don’t rule against Trump. They do. A lot. The problem is that, even when they do, the rulings come down so late and the enforcement mechanisms behind them are so weak, that significant damage has been done and cannot be undone by the ruling.

How many changes did Trump get to make to the Muslim ban before he finally found a version that passed muster? Did anyone in his administration suffer significant consequences for drafting the unconstitutional versions or were they basically on a freeroll?

Are hundreds of sorting machines going to be reinstalled before the election? Are people going to be compensated for the consequences of late checks, medicine, and food?

Has Congress or the NYAG gotten the Trump tax returns yet? Did I miss some Congressional testimony from Don McGahn?
I get the inclination to point to rulings as signs that the rule of law is still working, but, at some point it’s also necessary to look beyond the formalism and realize that, even when the rulings are going against him, the resolution is so slow, and this administration is so brazen, that a couple of bench slaps aren’t actually preventing or repairing the harm.

Pre-COVID, a generic Democrat was still a favorite against Trump. What coronavirus has done is put control of the Senate into play.

No point in playing this game, really, but the race likely would have tightened and been a huge sweat without COVID. With the pandemic and a competent federal response he would have been tough to beat.
