Now we have to realize if we want the vaccine we probably can’t go get it until next fall. The general in charge of distribution on 60 minutes was saying hospital staff get it first and I assume nursing homes residents too which would start like January- March. Then it would start being distributed in April I assume for the general public but that is going to take a long time.

I get the part about hospital staff and maybe even first responders. Nothing I have seen regarding COVID and nursing homes leads me to believe that they are getting any sort of priority when it comes to vaccine distribution.
I do want to see the demographics of who is willing to get the vaccine first. Are those who believe they are more vulnerable to the effects of COVID more likely to wait to make sure of its safety? Are those who believe that the virus is not that big of a deal actually rush out to get the vaccine so they can truly get back to their normal life?

An old buddy of mine got it back in NoDak. He was told "everyone is going to get it, it's just a matter of time, it's spread too far and there's nothing more we can do". Not surprising for North Dakota.

I don't know if Emily Murphy is a true believer but assuming she isn't, I feel sorry for her.
It's like a CEO of the company telling you not to do it and you can lose your job. Sure she can give the finger to the CEO and do it anyway, resulting in a job loss (which she probably needs) and the CEO appointing someone else to retract the approval. In this case, although customary, it's not been confirmed yet so I guess she has some rationalization. https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...96e_story.html Quote:

IF this happens, the Republican party officially becomes the party of Trump, no?

Pretty sure we are there already. If nobody is going to speak up against him when he's lost an election while the rest of the party performed better, then when?

I think many republicans would look at that as the last straw, and the party would alienate many more of them. A lot of republicans I've talked to are hoping for some new blood to rise to the top to challenge for the White House. Brian Sandoval would be a good possibility in my opinion. Sandoval was an extremely popular governor in Nevada, even amongst democrats, winning re-election with over 70% of the vote. |

The moderate GOP governors are extremely popular, but they can't win the primary without giving up what made them popular in the first place. See Romney, Mitt.

Honestly, don't we think that the Republican Party (whatever that means, in terms of leaders and such) has basically figure out through this whole Cult 45 exercise that logical/policy consistency is massively overrated, at least with the sphere of voters and stakeholders and corporate interests they care about?
Look at Lindsay Graham on the court nominee. Yes he said A, looked into the camera and told people to "use it against me." And then he said B, and all but looked into the camera and said "go fuck yourselves, suckers." And won. And remains a heroic figure, in part for doing so. So, for all these Trump enablers who made unconscionable votes and statements in support of that guy, once the smoke clears and that guy is gone (hopefully)... don't you thin their plan will basically just be to say the new/different thing like nothing ever happened? Who cares about the truth? A bunch of lamestream media types, elbow-patch professors and scientists, liberal coastal elites, and football text sim message boarders... none of them move the needle in empowering Republicans. Fuck 'em. Just lie, blame the media, and lie more. It works. |

I hear what you guys are saying. What I meant is with this move, we are done playing the game that Trump is a means to an end or an outsider as opposed to being the the heart of the party. That Trump is the Republican party. While I disagree with who it is and what it means they represent, I give credit to the Republicans for actually defining who they are.

Could Trump govern without the House ? Like, technically. Not asking if he can do it well, only if it would be possible if somehow no one "removes" him (and all Democrats could do is boycot, which would presumably matter less in the minority in the Senate).
Anybody already made that thought experiment online perhaps ?

Perhaps the right thread? Unsure since there's multiples now:
Anyways... What happens if the conspiracy that the elections aren't certified and the state electors get selected and get put in place to throw their votes to Trump, in essence stealing the election. The GOP Senators and House stand back and explain it away as they've done with literally everything and their morality as well (Christians! Ha!). What does the rest of the country do is my question? Does the military intervene? Does the populace? I'm thinking no and Trump does in fact 'steal' the election, gets 4 more years and the country is neutered to do anything. Then the long tail is that he runs for a 3rd term because the first was so affected by a opposition party. What are the things that could happen that I'm missing on the extreme crazy spectrum?

It's certainly non-zero, but it's also non-zero that Martians will land in Times Square in the next hour. I'd put both of them in about the same likelihood.

I would say the fact that the president has the power of the office, a complicit senate and a large portion of the country on his side, would give him a much higher chance of success than Martians.

The Senate doing it wouldn't surprise me. I don't see the number of states required going that route. There's a lot of dominoes that would all have to fall in line for that to happen, and if they all do what you effectively have is a coup.
