    Do you realize that the margin of victory in 8 "Trumpist" or "Democratic" states was less than 3 percent? Do you realize that many of the states you deride as "Trumpist" had as many as 47.6 percent of its voters pulling the lever for the Democratic candidate?

    The same thing goes for the Clinton states. Trump got millions of votes in California.

    Right. Which is why it's nuts to label entire states (except Alabama, of course :) ).

    You punched someone over a motorhome? Was it at least a diesel pusher?

    Seems reasonable, though Wisconsin isn't enough to account for the differences. Maybe we're using different population years, or maybe I have a mistake somewhere. I was thinking about breaking them into three groups, with swing/close states in the middle.

    Ah, that explains it. It was on the other board. I rarely go over there and missed it.

    How many people around the nation are the spring breakers going to infect? (With Covid19, not STDs.)

    A lot of it's stuff my wife and I had already been doing.
    Commonsense measures for the new COVID world.
    My position is you can't be too safe with this.
    And my feeling is we've been taking it granted all along that our groceries are somehow pristine when we buy them.

    Fart needs to live. If that means I have to be a neurotic freakazoid about germs for six months then so be it.

    I do not trust Dr. Birx - the Dolores Umbridge of this cabal.

    Agreed. To be fair, I hadn't been listening to that much of what she said, but she lost me with the passive-aggressive comment about the U.S. passing up South Korea in the number of people tested.
