By contrast I saw a (large) Walker sign in someone’s yard, and we’re in MD, like 800-1000 miles away. So, yeah, donate away, I plan to (again)

But just because someone is aroused by something doesn’t mean they’re likely to put it on a sandwich. The only breasts and thighs I put in my lunches are the ones that used to be attached to various birds.

The RNC has been paying some of Trumps legal fees. They could always provide even more help in exchange for not announcing himself as a candidate, but – Trump being Trump – that’s a risk. He could take more of their money… then later announce his candidacy any way; he may still believe that the presidency is the only thing that can save him.

I mean, the Republicans must have anticipated Trump would never give up being the star without a bitter fight, and so thought about what to do in response…right? 
I don’t know what it says other than that I’m hungry, but I am actually really craving a turkey sub now. No mayo though…that stuff does make me uncomfortable, though no judgment on anyone who chooses it.

Now let’s get that 51st Senator!
Cut down on Manchin & Sinema’s drama club.

Also - if any of the progressive Supreme Court Justices are feeling that they’re getting up there and are considering retiring- this is your cue.
In the best of all possible worlds a conservative would leave the court - and I’m amenable to them leaving due to any reason.

Untwitted thread on why 51 is a whole lot more than 50:
What Biden Has Done
@What46HasDone
Here’s why 51 is much better than 50, even if we don’t keep the House. And no, it’s not (mostly), about Manchin and Sinema.
Right now, with a tied Senate, we govern with a power share agreement, where Republicans get an equal split with Democrats on committee membership 1/
This gives them a lot of power to mess things up, because they can do 2 things:
-
With a tied vote in committee, they can force a discharge petition, which is an extra vote that takes up floor time.
-
Go nuclear, and boycott committees, preventing votes from happening.
Number 2 isn’t theoretical. They have done it a couple of times this Congress, including to block a Fed pick. They would absolutely use it again in a major situation (such as to prevent an SC replacement for a Conservative judge).
51 Senators gives Dems majority on committees 3/
And they lose the power to do any of those things.
Next up is it allows for absences.
The Senate requires voting in person. This Congress, if any Senator is absent, Dems can’t vote on party line stuff.
This happened a lot this year, especially with COVID. 4/
Lastly, it does protect against a rogue vote. Sinema and Manchin were very good in judges this year. They supported every one of President Biden’s nominees, including the ones that got passed on a party line vote.
But past performance doesn’t indicate future results. 5/
If Manchin decides to run again, he’s going to want to be able to show some independence. He honestly would prefer 51 Senators, because then he can vote against more nominees and they still get confirmed.
At 50, he’s going to have to make hard choices, and I’d rather avoid it.
Of course, 51 matters for more than just this Congress. Senators serve for 6 years. That means that the 118th, 119th, and 120th Congresses will have the winner of this election serving.
We are still paying for mistakes made in 2018 and 2020 Senate. Let’s not do the same here. 7/

The best part of 51 may just be that it significantly reduces the odds that Mitch will ever be the Majority Leader again.

Walker is a deeply flawed candidate, and now that his election cannot give the Republicans control of the Senate, it is not clear that voters will turn out for him.
