One thing I've been thinking about: if the GOP hadn't caved and let Trump run, unopposed, they might have won. If they had put up anyone but DT, there's a real possibility that people who voted L or D might have voted for a Republican if they were voting the other way just because "anyone but Trump" -and I'm sure there were 10s of thousands that voted that way.

lani, I heard yesterday that he wanted pull the last of our troops out of Afganistan even though the defense dept thinks it's a bad idea. There is some thought that with the personnel changes, he might get his way.

There is some thought that with the personnel changes, he might get his way. I have heard this too. I am not that concerned about troop withdrawals. They can always re-deploy, although it would be a stupid waste of effort. I am more worried that he would start an aggression in say Iran. I suppose cooler heads would prevail if that were to be attempted.

doordie50, lani, General Barry McCaffrey says that the military only takes orders from the President and the civilians Trump installed in the Pentagon can't tell the military what to do. Also he said the military won't follow illegal orders.

Covid is devastating the country. We have a toddler having a tantrum in the White House. Tomorrow is Friday the 13th, 2020. What more can go wrong.

Trump seems to be pursuing a scorched earth plan.

Boy that's for sure. And it works to Mitch's advantage in trying to keep the senate under his control if the base is fired up for the run-offs. The giant man baby can't manage his emotions to the detriment of the entire nation. Even Fox is taking a lot of incoming. Miss you finreporter.

The GoP and friends need to shut up, stop coddling him and make him face the loss instead of continuing to stir up drama and hate.

One of the new Republican House reps (can't remember her name) is already complaining about the House requiring masks. Says it's oppressive.
I saw a Dem governor (again, sorry, can't recall which one) saying re: mask complainers: "You know what's uncomfortable and inconvenient? Dying."

birdgal, well, if they believe in Qanon, they are certifiably insane IMO. So I don't expect sense about mask wearing.
