Cabbit posted:That was always the absolute, bar-none worst case scenario for them, wasn't it? Short of blowing themselves up with their own nukes, that's as bad as it could conceivably get? I'll let the UK Goons answer that but basically. I have seen that they are projected to contract their GDP by 4% so yeah bombing their own economy on top of the covid contraction.

dwarf74 posted:I confess to being super up my own rear end in US politics these past few months and ignoring global poo poo by and large. Brexit is about leaving the trade agreements with the EU with the rest of the world. Boris (and the Brexiteers) said 'we'll have better trade agreements day 1' back in 2016. Four years later, have virtually gently caress all. The few trade deals they have managed are slightly worse and ineffectual. With Trump, Boris could get a US trade deal where the US just ships whatever low grade food/goods they have left over to the UK, as well as open the UK up more to US businesses to take over. Then Boris will claim 'hurrah we got a better deal' and drat the consequences of the businesses, health regulations, etc that would fall or get wiped out within the UK. But Biden said he wouldn't deal if the Ireland/Northern Ireland problem isn't sorted, a situation Boris can't do as it's a catch 22 situation. He will piss off one group or another, which will gently caress up himself and his party. Now that Biden is more on EU's side and not his, Boris has nothing left, and they haven't set up anything to counter the No Deal that is looming on Jan 1st. So squeaky bum time.

My social media is filled with people celebrating Harris right now. A lot of the pictures I'm seeing have Harris at the forefront and Biden behind her. I voted against Trump, I didn't vote for Biden/ Harris. So many people seem to be leaning into the first VP woman of color thing. Hope and change is a dangerous thing if we don't hold people accountable. Today is a time to celebrate, absolutely. But we as the electorate need to pay attention to how Biden and Harris conduct themselves, who they pick for the cabinet, etc. Like Cornell West said, BLM started when we had a black President, a black Attorney General, and a black Secretary of Homeland Security.

happyhippy posted:Brexit is about leaving the trade agreements with the EU good uk stuff....... I am sure Boris is currently making GBS threads himself, and coming closer to materialising the rumours that he is going to step down in the new year. His potential US grift plan has literally just crumbled to dust and he was already complaining he doesn’t have enough money to support however many kids he actually has left alone himself on the Prime Minister’s salary. And COVID nearly killed him. Good luck to him (That’s just a figure of speech, I do not wish him any luck whatsoever)

The fascism coupled with actually taking care of (some) people. I do love this tweet about him dripping with sarcasm. https://twitter.com/AdamSerwer/status/1325146251478757377?s=20 Hawley's lying about all that. He was against the right to work repeal that passed in Missouri when he was elected. He voted for the tax cuts.

They MIGHT be able to peel off one of the GOP Senators for this, but yeah, they'd lose one of the Blue Dogs, so. Hell, even if they get to 50/50, it's not a guarantee. Everything is going to be a fight until at least 2023, and we have no reason to believe it will look better then. e: I guess I've already written off NC, it just feels like Tillis has it locked up, but I'd be very happy to be wrong

Yeah I have seen a bunch of such-Libs on TV trying to push that narrative, which it will be real interesting how well it holds up once you have facts start pouring in. The centralists realize they have a big problem and they are trying to get their messaging in line to save their necks. I don't think it will be that effective. Yeah good luck with that one Independent.
