The Governor of Wisconsin delayed the primary by executive order on his own authority, using emergency powers at the state level. The federal court decision the Supremes reversed is no longer relevant. It was made on the federal court’s authority before the governor had done anything.

So the Supremes were just rendered moot.

State of emergency and all that. And that issue was not before the court, so the decision doesn’t apply. The election is delayed.

Well said, Mike. That is the simple truth. The Democratic Party is an enemy of the left, not an ally. He also pointed out their hypocrisy on their moralistic social justice warrior issues–#MeToo does not apply to their chosen candidate. So much for the party of women’s rights.

Like Joe Biden of Anita Hill infamy could ever have been considered a…[Read more]

BlackRock, Blackstone, Harris, Warren, all of them. Vile. The Democrats are corrupt and proud of it. They don’t even try to hide it anymore. Their corporate media donors act like all the transparent corruption is perfectly normal, and call anyone who disagrees crazy.

Stalin would be proud.

They are already ignoring his orders. They’ll probably remove him and put someone who is in touch with reality in charge, and promise elections after the pandemic has passed.

@salemcourt I damned near spit out my Bombay & tonic! Thanks for the laugh. I needed that.

From 5 days ago:

Milwaukee normally has 180 voting sites; because of coronavirus, fewer than 12 polling places will be open April 7
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said Tuesday he is not comfortable telling residents to go to the polls on April 7 during the coronavirus pandemic, comments he made as the city pares back its polling locations to a small…

Probably based it on the advice of the state’s chief health officer, just like Dewine did in Ohio to quell any court challenges.

Holding an election tomorrow would be a deadly farce. The fact that both the state Republican and national Democratic parties were determined that in-person voting should go ahead, heedless of the fact that some people…[Read more]

I grew up with a bunch of Southern Baptists. I can throw fire and brimstone, too.

@twilightsporkle He was only right one other time, when he pushed through the Great Lakes Compact to preserve wetlands and such.

One would think that all that money pumped into Wall Street from 2008 on would have caused massive inflation, and one would be right, it did, according to Richard Wolff, and he makes sense to me. The thing is, the only…[Read more]

I’m on Amazon strike.

@soryang For all we know, Crozier could have objected to docking in Danang because the coronavirus was epidemic in Vietnam at the time. If he did, he was ordered to dock and allow liberty anyway, in one of those “show the flag” ports of call, which can be great fun for ordinary sailors.

And also guaranteed to get infected with C-19, which any…[Read more]

@fasttense Yes, that’s certainly possible, as local and state authorities are confronted with a federal government so corrupt it cannot even functionally respond to a pandemic, and are forced to take the lead themselves. And there’a all those shuttered factories in the Midwest and textile mills in the South just sitting there doing nothing…[Read more]

Stranger things have happened. The Persians sided with their old enemies the Spartans when the Athenian Empire got too big for its britches. The Athenians lost their empire, and never sought to regain it.

It’s a beautiful day. Think I’ll go outside now, or maybe to Home Depot for mulch and a new firepit. Then again, we’ve all already been infected by Covid-19 and no longer contagious so we’re no threat to ourselves or to others.

Cuyahoga County will probably hit 1000 official cases later today. We weren’t official, but we were most definitely…[Read more]

@ravensong Fixed it for you. They themselves aren’t willing to die for that cause, but they have no problems if you and I do.
