Especially because both Presidents had to do a lot by Exec Order and the regulatory apparatus (though SCOTUS just bombed the latter) because of totally intransigent Republicans in the legislature.

We've tested Clinton v Trump and Biden v Trump in actual elections, where participation is higher than the <1% we see in polls.

could do a bunch of stories about how dangerous and corrupt it is that we have no idea who was visiting the white house while trump was president but "there's no story there" precisely because Trump did the unethical and non-transparent thing. Whoops!

Trump makes these kind of garbles basically nonstop and the same commentators just Rorschach it into comprehensible quote bites for chyrons and articles.

FBI, etc threaten elite impunity more than local cops especially with a Dem in the WH. Trump doesn't need them and will use CBP as his enforcers.

I think it's going to be fortunate in the end. If we give up on polling we can give up on the horse race and meta arguments and focus more on stakes. (I'm not saying that's going to happen for *this* election)

Both the “black jobs” remark and using palestinian as a slur are hopefully clarifying as to actual Trump’s ideology and worldview, in contrast with the imaginary trump some people have built up in their heads as the memory of his administration has receded

Some people seem to want to treat the general election like a second primary. There were many choices and now there are two. It's certainly an option to not vote but I think there's a very clear better candidate who can be chosen by voting.

This sort of treatment can be quite good if the route stays low traffic, especially if they filter it with diverters to make sure it stays that way.

They're made to look like that on purpose by a pruning practice called pollarding. Personally I really don't like the look, though they look fine when they have leaves.

Is the idea that he wants to segregate the UFC? Because like half of the competitors are immigrants* already. *sometimes hard to disaggregate who is an immigrant and who is just foreign since they fly them all over to fight, and some foreign fighters live/train in the US a lot too.

Every "senior official" who thinks "no one knows what he’s going to say" needs to resign. They are simply not fit to serve in their positions. It's Netanyahu. We know what he's going to say: whatever he thinks serves his short-term personal interests, which here is bashing Biden to help Trump.

Most of the kids were conceived through IVF. It's a breeding fetish distilled such that even the intercourse has been removed.

I don't see much pizza delivery by car in Manhattan (virtually all food delivery here is by bike), and this would only apply if you were getting a delivery inside the zone from a pizza place outside the zone. And many places already charge for each delivery, while the cong charge is once daily.

I think they're implying a degree of planning that just isn't there. The people they're describing wait to have kids if they feel like they can't afford them at the moment, but they're not putting a date 10 years off on the calendar, or waiting until they achieve a certain business title.
