Uh oh, the quote above looks like someone on this board might have been trying to goad me back into a conversation, but alas...I can't see what they originally wrote
In other news, it looks like Teflon Trudeau is going to survive another scandal, I do regret voting for Jagmeet Singh as Trudeau and my premier have provided such strong leadership on COVID 19 that I feel completely safe.
No riots, or weird anti covid public gatherings, everyone wears a facemask when necessary, and politely steps out of their way with their hand sanitizer at doorways. Now if you excuse me, I must go charge my hybrid, and make my vegan smoothie for breakfast, tah, tah.

Trump says coronavirus stimulus checks, direct payments may be more than $1,200
Trailing Joe Biden in the polls, in some cases, trailing badly, well aware his greatest hits of peddling hate and fear isn't working with the rubes like it used to, Trump is trying to buy votes instead. Go ahead, Donnie, send that check, I'll gladly cash it, but I'm still ridin' with Biden!President Donald Trump says he wants the next coronavirus relief package to be "very generous" with direct stimulus payments to Americans that are potentially more than $1,200.
"It may go higher than that, actually," Trump said in an interview on Wednesday with ABC affiliate KMID in Texas during a trip to the state.
"I'd like to see it be very high because I love the people," he said. "I want the people to get it."

Riden' with Biden!
Trump can't win on personality: Trump: 'Nobody likes me. It can only be my personality'
Trump can't win on the Economy: America's economy just had its worst quarter on record
Trump can't win on Foreign Relations: US to pull 12,000 troops out of Germany as Trump blasts 'delinquent' Berlin
Trump can't win on the Military: Trump Says He Didn't Talk to Putin About Claims of Russian Bounties on US Troops
Trump definitely can't win on unity: Trump Wanted His Portland Policy to Backfire — But Not Like This
Or his handling of the Coronavirus: Trump and his allies respond with pseudo-science as US death toll hits 150,000
The only way he stands a chance is to try to mimic what Biden is doing, which is an absurd farce.

More desperation from Spongedon Whinepants as he feels the walls closing in:
Trump floats idea of delaying the November election, a power granted to Congress, as he ramps up attacks on voting by mail
Even with the Senate in Republican hands and a right leaning SCOTUS, there's no way in hell Trump can delay the election, or stay in office past January 20th, no matter how many markers he calls in with Moscow Mitch or Bad Vlad. The clock is ticking on this abomination of a presidency.President Trump on Thursday floated the prospect of delaying the November election, as he ramped up his attacks on mail-in voting, claiming without evidence that its widespread use would be a “catastrophic disaster” that could lead to fraudulent results.
The U.S. Constitution gives the power to regulate the “time, place and manner” of elections to the U.S. House and Senate, with Congress also empowered to alter the rules. Nowhere is the president granted such power.
In addition, the Constitution spells out a hard end to a president’s term on Jan. 20 in the year following a presidential election.

Just saw this that Herman Caine has passed away.
Assuming this is a verified story he 100% got it after being sent to Trump’s Tulsa fiasco.
This is worth reading: Does the Constitution allow for a delayed presidential election?
Trump can't hold onto office without an election. Even if there is a crisis, the election can be delayed but only for a short time and only with a hard deadline as to when it will occur. There is a hard date for the Electoral College to meet and vote, and a hard date as to the last day for a President, January 20, unless he or she is reelected to a 2nd term.
If Trump somehow manages to disable the election process, there would be no clear winner. As long as the Democrats hold the House:
Nancy Pelosi would be the next Presdient.Absent a clear winner of the presidential election on January 20, the Speaker of the House would serve as Acting President under the current succession law. The 20th Amendment requires that the duly elected president and vice president assume their positions at some point. “Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.”

Here's an article about Cain's death. I wish the far right would take the pandemic seriously.

The only thing I can add about to Herman Cain is this clip from the Daily Show when he cancelled his campaign and used music from Pokemon 2000.
Opinions may vary in quality.
My big article on Mariko Tamaki's Hulk & She-Hulk runs, discussing the good, bad, and its creation.
My second big article on She-Hulk, discussing Jason Aaron's focus on her in Avengers #20.
It's a sad, lonely way to die.
Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

Cotton might be considered a rising star, although it's a stretch to call him the 2024 frontrunner, as some have done. I'm unaware of any poll showing him in the top five, let alone in first place.
A wrinkle with Cotton making such a big deal of the 1619 project is that the main purpose seems to be to to elevate an African American candidate for statewide office.
If you're asking "why are people talking about a 2019 magazine package," Cotton introduced this a few weeks after Michigan Sen. Gary Peters introduced the 1619 Act, which would increase funding for teaching black history (not related to the Project itself)
Peters's GOP opponent, John James, is a black veteran who's running the only competitive R campaign in a blue state Senate race rn.
