I keep wondering how they have any customers at all despite seemingly never doing any press whatsoever (and are blindsided by a review appearing) and also being located in what was previously depicted as a pretty bad neighborhood

Really feels like all these NYT columnist guys are just Lincoln Project "Never Trump Republican" types who want to make every Democrat unelectable until the Democratic nominee is Joe Manchin or somebody who is essentially a Republican but who isn't in league with Trump

Also they put in The Jet at third to pinch run in "the clutch situation of the season" and he immediately takes a "suicide lead" and steals home on the first pitch, shoddy defense

Funny thing with the bookend scenes in THE SANDLOT is that Scotty Smalls is doing play by play for the Dodgers despite conspicuously not being Vin Scully

Wisconsin judge just struck down parts of Act 10.

This is the anti-labor law that Scott Walker championed in 2011, rocking Wisconsin politics and prompting recalls and national attention: www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

The GOP captured courts are a one-way ratchet: congress and the president can be more authoritarian than what the text of the constitution says, but they can never be more liberal

Oh yeah, for sure we should apply pressure to currently elected senators and stuff too, just meant we shouldn't elect a single additional person who isn't willing to suspend the filibuster to do it

At a previous employer they required SMS to get into the John Hancock 401k system, but it would never actually send me the text, and when I reached out to their to support, they were just like "oh, you have Google Fi, yeah we don't support sending texts to Google Fi"

Also seems like being located in what was previously depicted as a pretty bad neighborhood would be problematic with trying to bring in a bunch of rich Michelin star type patrons

It's also weird that they never seem to do any press? They changed their fast food sandwich joint into an upscale fine dining restaurant and just kind of hoped an entirely different clientele would show up

The good news about this intensely negative pants-wetting press cycle about the debate is that if Biden does marginally better in the second one the commentariat will rave like they did after the state of the union, and that'll be closer to the election
