President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Not publicly. But they know how their investments did.

 

Not sure I trust Rolling Stone's reporting any more, but it's certainly not a leap that the plan is to inject utter chaos and bullshit into the proceedings. It's standard in the trumplican playbook. And I agree, I don't think there will end up being cameras in the courtroom. I think there should be, as it's a matter of high importance to the country. But I don't think it'll happen.

Illness or hooker or Larry Craig?

 

Leaving to become president of Youngstown State.

 

This guy is in a very safe Republican seat. I guess one can dream.

 

One thing the Blue states do a terrible job of is building new housing.

 

There are way more negative repercussions for leaders at private colleges that affect a tiny percentage of Americans (.21 are Ivy League alums, according to a recent WaPo estimate) than at SCOTUS or in the field of presidential contenders.

 

California passed a law in the last 5 years that basically guts local growth control measures. As a result, my local berg has been building like crazy and pissing off the local know-it-alls.
