Democrats are the Party of The State therefore a vote for Biden is a vote for empowering the state by any means necessary, while a vote for OUR PRESIDENT Donald J. Trump could be justified as a vote for both chaos and anarchy allowing the potential chance for a more just stateless society to rise.

Someone in 2016 was upset that I wasn't going to vote in the most important election of our lifetime ever so I told them a similar version of that and they thought I actually was going to vote for Trump for like a couple weeks apparently.

Speaking of, what's the healthcare situation right now for the unemployed? Is there something in the CARES act or are these people all just fucked?

On my furlough I’m just supposed to keep paying mine, but I haven’t received the information I was supposed to in the mail, so, pretty sure mine is just gonna lapse.

I think there's stuff in the HEROES act but not the CARES act.

If you're on funemployment, that extra $600 doesn't count towards Medicaid eligibility, but it does count towards subsidy calculations for market plans.

In the thick of primary season, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden brawled over Medicare for All: He called her approach “angry,” “elitist,” “condescending”; she shot back anyone who defends the health care status quo with industry talking points is “running in the wrong presidential primary.”

Six months later, with Biden the presumptive nominee and Warren in the running for VP, she is striking a more harmonious chord.

"I think right now people want to see improvements in our health care system, and that means strengthening the Affordable Care Act," she told students at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics this week, while adding that she still wants to get to single payer eventually.

The shift is the latest public signal Warren has sent Biden's way in recent weeks that she wants the job of vice president — and wants Biden to see her as a loyal governing partner despite their past clashes, which go back decades.

What do you know? I called it™. Faux-Progressive that kowtows to the establishment.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the next coronavirus bill would not extend beefed-up unemployment insurance enacted as the pandemic ravaged the U.S. economy, according to a source familiar with his remarks.

The Kentucky Republican made the comment Wednesday on a call with House GOP lawmakers as he talked about priorities for the next phase of the outbreak response, Politico first reported. The $600 per week federal unemployment benefit, which adds to the sum individuals normally get from states, will expire at the end of July.

this is going to age well come july

Imagining a scenario where on August 1st the only barrier to full employment is UI benefits being too generous.

I read a piece from an Australian or British reporter who was shocked when he finally got to see a Trump speech at the White House for himself.
He said that either everyone in the US has gotten used to interacting with addicts that they didn't notice he was high as fuck or that he was the only one watching who was sober.
He also added that the media and TV broadcasts actually makes him look good in comparison by cutting up his speeches and Trump was way more incoherent than he expected.

Before you could tell when Trump was on something, during his crazy 3 hour CPAC speech for example or when he debated Hillary Clinton. You could sometimes even see when he dialed it back with downers.
Now they're proudly proclaiming that the 70+ year old President is full of energy and rarely sleeps as he stomps towards his helicopter and attends 3 or 4 events a day.

Trump never showed much empathy, boasting about his own buildings on 9/11 but there was a hint of caring and worrying about what had happened. Same when during his campaign those natural disasters struck and he made a few visits. Now with the pandemic he just keeps making jokes. The fact that he shrugged off taking Hydroxychloriquine as if it was just something he added as 'no big deal' to his daily routine was utterly bizarre and instantly made people think that he didn't actually take it.

Best nintex comment in a year probably.

But yes, the media is very friendly to trump. Even the really critical media gives him a huge pass on stuff like this.

Hyperinflation obliterates savings which can only hurt the 50% of people that even have savings - for everyone else it just relieves their debt burden... regular levels of inflation merely changes the distribution of income... in fact Keynes had proposed paying for world war ii by means of a so-called inflation tax... in any case inflation is hardly worrisome during a deflationary episode like the one we're experiencing and equating fiscal nationalism with hyperinflation is a hundred year old conservative strawman

I think it depends a lot on what you mean by hyperinflation. I can see an argument that  High inflation (call it 5%), in a heavily leveraged economy might be good for the average joe but I don’t think that Weimar Republic style hyperinflation would do anything good for anybody.

Pfft Megan McKaren is already on the regular one and Whoopi was a total shit to Bernie when he was on so that's kind of what the plain view already is? I'm sure this will last as long and be as popular as Real News was.

Funniest part of that was Bernie saying he could work with Republicans and she asked who. He said her dad and she pointed out her dad was dead.

It was all backwards and upside down.

Some Trump fans wore masks, and the president actually claimed to wear one at one point. But plenty of true believers followed their man’s lead in flouting the bare minimum for protective equipment amid a raging outbreak.

“Remember Pig Pen, who had a cloud of dust around him at all times?” Ann Arbor resident Joe Miriani asked The Daily Beast. “That’s what the virus is like. A mask isn’t going to stop that.”

Surrounded by masked Ford executives and reporters, however, Trump insisted—as he’s done other times—that he placed the mask on in an area away from the press.

“I had one on before. I wore one in this back area,” he loudly asserted. “But I didn’t want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it. No, I had it on in the back area—I did put a mask on.”

But some of the Trump supporters on hand had more fringe concerns. Miriani, for one, said he had no interest in being vaccinated against the disease that has killed over 90,000 Americans.

“One primary reason why—Bill Gates wants us to get it,” he told The Daily Beast, referring to the conspiracy theory that the Microsoft founder is somehow behind the coronavirus. “That’s going to make him a ton of money.”
