Yeah, but you were giving Trump credit for metrics like this within his first couple of months. What gives? Could it be that the macro economy is not as interested in who's president as you may have suggested from '16-'20?

Trump had the benefit of the confidence factor right out of the gate; people/businesses were willing to take risks and invest knowing they would not be assaulted for at least 4 years.

Well, your theories seem kind of, sort of, well just a little politically biased. How long into Biden's term will his business illiteracy begin to undo Trump's business acumen? 3-6 months? 6-12 months?
My point isn't that Biden is some sort of blessing to industry. It's just that you were so adamant that every single blip in the Dow or new factory opening in the Trump terms was due to his great leadership. Hard to reconcile that now.
Shocked they came back guilty on all counts. Not sure all 3 will hold up on appeal, either way fuck’em. No reason to riot now...

I haven't followed it enough, or completely understand "depraved indifference". But I feel like at some point well before 9 minutes that this might be as good an example as any. And it's that last count may basically guarantees life in prison with a 40 year max.
Only discussing as a curiosity. Chauvin deserves everything he gets.
Pretending to care about Asians didn’t last long.
NOT AGREED TO 49-48, Cruz/Kennedy amendment #1456 (prohibit Federal funding for any institution of higher learning that discriminates against Asian Americans in recruitment, applicant review and admissions) to S. 937 (COVID-19 Hate Crimes). 60 yea vote threshold.

LOL...reminds me of the guy I saw wearing a mask, on his riding mower, in the middle of a huge yard with nobody within 300 yards of him.

Murder hornets got totally screwed this year. Here they are, a tough bug with a badass name, all set for invasion. Probably flying in, when BAM!!! COVID hits. Leaders had to say to the rest, "Guys, I'm proud to have the baddest group of Murder Hornets ever assembled. Unfortunately there is a pandemic on. We're going to circle back to where we came and try again next year. You boys deserve front page coverage. I'm not taking you in until we can get that. But you're still Murder Hornets. Don't ever forget that."

Yeah, I have an older friend who I was encouraging to wear a mask every time he mows the grass because when he doesn't, the pollen causes him to be miserable (and miserable to be around, with all the "loudly hacking up shit" noise) for hours afterwards.
Oh.... super serious.
Joe Biden is absolutely correct in saying tonight that January 6 was “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”

Man, he is a historian and should know better.
World War I and II were bigger threats and attacks. I would also add in the freaking Cold War and the threat of nuclear annihilation. Those were all more direct threats and attacks. I wouldn't add 9/11 as over time we have seen that was a one time blip that did not overall threaten the destruction of democracy, whereas the two World Wars and the Cold War were over the very concept of democracy and freedom.
When encountering a black republican rebutting Biden’s speexh, the twitter left gets “Uncle Tim” trending. Seems a little racist.
