They could definitely screw it up but it makes it less sure to me.

Like I would've been more comfortable betting on Trump a month ago. The worse this gets the more unpredictable the elections seem.

Also... Side note... Pandemic = no more Trump rallies. And it's the perfect excuse for sleepy Joe to stay at home.

Trump is likely to get re-elected if he pays out over April and May like it appears is going to happen within the next two weeks. Plus they are opening up some amazing business loans through the SBA for smaller businesses (of which mine is among them) that look extraordinary. Several hundred grand at nearly 0% interest, 30 year repayment period. I'm watching the SBA and some of these loan companies like a hawk right now.

I'm not even saying I think he'll lose, but his odds are worse now than they were. There's still plenty of time of the economy to bounce back and the virus issue to fade, obviously.

Betting odds favor Biden over Trump for first time - Forbes

Is it true the dems are trying to keep the republicans from sending the cash payouts to individuals?

Senate GOP releases coronavirus relief plan with up to $1,200 in cash payments to individuals

Quote:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer put down their marker for what their party would support, shortly after the Republicans released their plan. They called for a “Marshall Plan to rebuild our health care infrastructure” along with provisions to boost workers.

I guess you weren't wrong when you were saying Marshall law.

God I’ll never live that down.

Uh, what does “put down their marker” mean?

What does the constitution say about presidential term limits exactly? I would not be surprised to see a second - perhaps modified, two year - term granted to the incumbent under special circumstances. And then in 2022 assuming chaos still reigns supreme he'll get re-elected for a third term for being such a strong, generous leader throughout the years of covid-19.

If he is in fact the most generous option and redistributes the wealth and protects the poor better than anyone else elected (which wouldn’t be saying much) wouldn’t that be for the best?

We have a constitution that looks great on paper but it’s been in practice a failure from the get-go. Considering the damage we’ve inflicted on the planet, people and environment, our lack of self-reflection and inability to think critically about our style of government from its core (the constitution), suggests to me that we are the most brainwashed people on the planet.

What would a North Korean think if he watched our news? Even in the face of permanent environmental destruction world wide that’s entirely blood on our hands is there a shred of maybe this **** actually doesn’t work in our media? Has their ever been? Has North Korea ****ed up the entire planet or just their little section? Which population is more outrageously deluded?

I can hear the cries of oh in North Korea you would be killed just for saying that. So what? So what if I can shout it from the rooftops if everyone refuses to listen. WTF good is the first amendment if this is where it leads?
