The biggest issue with Biden coverage is that he’s now The Story, which means that most of the press is focused on The Story and not any of the context or consequences. If we were having a serious discussion about qualifications for presidency, age, and the two main candidates, I’d be fine with it.

The Supreme Court’s ruling putting presidents above the law must be understood not simply as a grant of immunity for past crimes, but an enthusiastic endorsement of those he will commit if given the chance. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Yeah that's fair! I just don't think this is the same strategic disaster as Hillary ignoring the Midwest. I think the long term play seems to be abandoning Florida for Georgia with some long term roots being laid in Texas and also Kansas weirdly enough

It just feels like every right wing lunatic is moving to Florida. Much like Colorado is a lost cause for Republicans, Florida may be a lost cause for Dems.
The map has fundamentally changed since 2000-2008. Texas and some of the south are more in play. Florida and Ohio are less in play

I love sitting on the dems but Florida is likely a lost cause at this point. Demographic and voter shifts are far more favorable in PA, AZ, NC, VA, and to a lesser extent GA and TX.
If there's a finite amount of money to spend it should be spent in those states and the Midwest

Eh, the original trilogy largely flew by the seat of its pants. You just need directors and writers willing to ignore dipshit fans

Worth noting there was no real plan for the original trilogy. You don't need a trilogy plan, you need writers and directors willing to play with each other's toys.
In this case, JJ needed to build off Rian but he and Disney refused

If I wanted more children I would simply create socioeconomic conditions that allowed for it.
Perhaps paid family leave, lowered Healthcare costs, lowered education costs, and lowered childcare costs.
Surely Meghan supports all of these right?

Also it seems like the HP cast is the one time the British press agreed not to skin someone alive for fun
