Oh hey the one thing that still pisses me off on a hair trigger more than Biden, fucking ICEis.

Hell, if Biden started talking about abolishing ICE I'd be rushing to the polls.

So wait, a Tyson plant in Iowa had to close last week because so many workers were diagnosed positive for COVID. Does this DPA order mean they have to reopen anyway?

And that tweet becomes super relevant based on my last comment regarding the Tyson plant.

In fact that might have been the specific place Gov Reynolds was talking about.

Yeah, I think it is

Tyson presumably wants to reopen, but I don't know whether or not Trump can compel companies that want to remain closed to open for essential work. Seems like something that could definitely be challenged in court if it happened.

The DPA lets Trump force companies to make X instead of Y, but Im not sure they can compel them to reopen.

In other news, Amash is officially running for President as a Libertarian.

Amash has some very good qualities (e.g. he definitely believes what he's saying and was the only member of the House GOP willing to stand up to Trump for more than two seconds), but actually implementing his libertarian ideals would be a complete disaster.

I think he probably hurts Biden more than Trump by siphoning never-Trump conservatives. The vast majority of those who were going to vote for Trump probably will still do so.

Is Joe Biden calling for free market health care, here?

Like, I agree with him. Government should not be rationing health care. Scarce goods should be allocated by the most efficient means possible - market prices, which reflect scarcity, value, and willingness to pay!

I feel like the worry with Amash would be more "moderate" independents than Never-Trump Republicans. If the latter were already voting for Biden anyway, then they are not voting based on politics, so someone that agrees with them more in that respect shouldn't be an issue.

So you know that Wisconsin Supreme Court election that Republicans lost despite holding an election during a pandemic to try and destroy turnout?

The Republican who lost that election - but still holds the seat through July 31 - announced he's un-recusing himself from the WI voter purge case that previously deadlocked at 3-3.

On the one hand, he deserves some credit for not doing this at a time when it could benefit him politically (Im assuming if he hadnt recused himself before it wouldve impacted his recent election).

On the other hand, yes him weighing in now undoubtedly is at least partially sour grapes and the Wisconsin republican party in particular has a bad history of being whiny little babies after losing elections.

Tbf, Wisconsin Democrats very recently were such whiny babies about losing that they forced a recall election that ended with their candidate losing even worse than the first time.

so i think someone asked in here who the first to break their quarantine rules would be? yesterday Tucker had a segment on this.

Obama on a golf course when they're closed. this was yesterday i think.
mayor of Chicago got her hair done at a salon. had to check for the date on this one, it'd have been April 4th or 5th based off reporting and her excuse was this:

"I'm the public face of this city," she said in defense of the haircut. "I'm on national media, and I'm out in the public eye."
Lightfoot added, "The woman who cut my hair had a mask and gloves on so we are, I am practicing what I'm preaching."


i don't remember when that question got asked in here but i think it was after that. she's probably the first?

that's good.
tucker was going on how Michelle told people to stay inside in a Washington state ad so i figured there'd probably be something off and there we go. honestly golf clubs are quite possibly the only sport i look at and am fine with being open as it's already following those guidelines.

this is of course before i remember that golf is a shitty sport so maybe it should be closed forever.
