“Something bad” isn’t “played nice with Republicans”, “gave corporations more power” or “didn’t handle financial crash well”.
We’re talking about “fucked one goat territory” like extrajudicial killings and keeping people locked up for years without trial. It doesn’t matter what other okay things he did. He will always be a goat fucker aka “bad president”.
Especially since, unfortunately, Trump said he’s throwing a first pitch for the Yankees and will probably underhand it to home plate. But they also just kneeled, so it has a chance to backfire against Trump spectacularly before he could ever step on the mound.
If the Dems get the White House will any of them actually want to take any action to fix this shit where an administration just gets to perpetually have acting people who don’t have to be approved or use confirmation by the Senate for one thing to let them do something completely unrelated?
The media is going to be shocked when they learn all the ground they ceded to president trump is not going to be magically returned in the future. They have showed their ass.
I am not getting my hopes up but the polling is extreme and as we see with Trump’s new Covid press conferences he is doing nothing to change the tide. We are back over a thousand deaths every day and I would be really surprised if that changes before the election.
We are talking 100k-150k more deaths on the low end before the election. We are talking all time eviction rates (thanks inso’s boss).
No kind of scandal got you dirt is going to counteract the devastation, fear and uncertainty people will be living with for the better part of a year.
Those shenanigans only hold sway when everything is relatively normal and there is not heaps of bad news on everyone’s doorstep.
Again, though, I am not taking it for granted, I don’t care if the polls hit +30.
I fully expect the media to fall for whatever bullshit Barr & Co. come up with, but I am skeptical it will have a meaningful effect as the walls are crashing in.
