I keep forgetting Gov. Bel Edwards actually held on last go 'round. I figured he'd fall to any candidate that didn't have a scandal involving prostitutes and a diaper fetish, coupled with the aftermath of Jindal.

Trump is a known commodity (a dumbass with a huge following of poor racists that makes the rich racists feel a bit icky). Would Trump dying mid-race and being replaced by Mike Pence have suppressed or augmented the votes for four more years of MAGA? I honestly don't know because I honestly don't know what the gently caress is going on with the US. I'm just glad I live in California, but who knows if this dumbass recall attempt against Newsom manages to let Caitlyn loving Jenner pratfall into the governor's mansion.

I'd be concerned that it would make Dems feel like it was less of a pressing issue that they vote, but maybe Trump just drowning in his own fluids and not having him bray endlessly about rigged elections would mean these voter suppression laws wouldn't have gotten drafted and passed.

This is also true. Honestly, every election is the most important of our lives, but 2022 is super important just because making the Senate and the House less Red is going to be critical to getting anything good done before the 2024 shitshow begins (ESPECIALLY if it removes Sinema and Manchin from being linchpin votes).

The cope posts after he didn't die were the saddest part.

"No, see, it's actually good because now he gets to see himself be rejected by the country by losing the Presidency!"

Except he'll just say it was rigged and spend the rest of his life bitching about it and agitating for his followers to install him as forever ruler. The best outcome would have been if he went up on that balcony, ripped his shirt open to reveal the Superman logo, and immediately croaked and fell over the railings.

CDC says 7-day average of daily U.S. Covid cases surpassed peak seen last summer

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/02/cdc...opyToPasteboard

The seven-day average of daily coronavirus cases in the U.S. surpassed the peak seen last summer when the nation didn’t have an authorized Covid-19 vaccine, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Monday, citing data published over the weekend.

U.S. Covid cases, based on a seven-day moving average, reached 72,790 on Friday, according to data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s higher than the peak in average daily cases seen last summer, when the country was reporting about 68,700 new cases per day, according to the CDC.

The daily average in Covid cases has since dropped, however, falling to 68,326 new cases per day on Saturday and 63,250 new cases per day on Sunday, according to the agency.

While data published on the CDC website shows a decline in the seven-day average of daily case counts in the following days, a separate coronavirus dataset maintained by Johns Hopkins University does not show a decline. Rather it shows a continued increase in the seven-day average to nearly 80,000 new cases per day as of Sunday.

“While we desperately want to be done with this pandemic, Covid-19 is clearly not done with us and so, our battle must last a little longer,” Walensky said during a White House Covid briefing. “This is hard. This is heavy. But, we are in this together. And as we learn more about Covid, we continue to rely on proven ways to protect ourselves, our children and our loved ones.”

One out of three Covid cases occurred in Florida and Texas over the past week, White House Covid czar Jeff Zients said Monday. About 17% of cases came from seven states with low vaccination rates, he added.

The seven-day average of hospital admissions is about 6,200 per day, an increase of about 41% from the previous seven-day period, according to Walensky. The seven-day average of daily deaths has also increased to 300 per day, an increase of more than 25%, she said, but still far below last summer’s peak of more than 1,100 daily deaths in early August 2020.

U.S. health officials are urging more Americans to get vaccinated against Covid as the shots have proven to be highly protective against the virus and its new variant, especially against severe disease, hospitalizations and death.

COVID is really going to be key. It's going to depend if people are sick (lol) and tired of having to deal with this pandemic and who they see as responsible. There is a breaking point for GOP support when their politicians get lovely enough (see how Bel Edwards, Kelly, and Beshear got elected in Red states). If they blame Biden & Co, then 2022 is going to be bad. Maybe sooner if Manchin dies and Mitch assumes power like loving Palpatine booty-shaking his way into the Sequel Trilogy.

Mitch is looking to retire, possibly before his term is over. That's why he's been working with the Kentucky legislature to make it so the Governor isn't the one to appoint his replacement. Who becomes minority leader if Mitch's phylactery gets destroyed?

The difference would be between Manchin, who voted for the first reconciliation package, and a Republican, who would not have. Even things like that would become impossible to pass.

The only reason that Biden is getting people appointed is because Schumer is the Leader. Manchin sucks, but he voted for the ACA and against the multiple attempts by the GOP to repeal it. This is by no means me saying that Manchin is cool and good. It's more like me saying this massive gash across my finger hurts like a motherfucker but at least I didn't cut the drat thing off.

You gotta love how he calls American medalists at the OLYMPICS "not actually that good at their sport" when they are literally (not figuratively!) the best in the world. People do that poo poo all the time. They think they can hang with an NBA player when in reality, a guy who started for even a fuckin' DIII school would completely destroy 99% of the people who stepped on the court.

NBA players don’t miss when they’re just shooting around. It’s incredible. Steph Curry hit like 103 straight 3s in practice (there’s a video).

Watching videos of NBA players play against regular people is hilarious. It’s like me playing against a toddler.
