Reagan tried that exact same lawsuit back in the 80s. It failed back then and the only reason Benedict Donald tried it again now is because he has added so many anti worker, anti breathing, pro corporate, pro the past, pro the 0.1%er judges to the Federal courts and thought maybe he could win this time.

The Republican party exists now to meet the needs of the rich. But there are not enough rich to win elections so that party has had to manipulate the crazies in order to win elections. And people like the Adelson's, The Waltons, the Koch brothers and others funded that manipulation and created outlets like Faux.

The problem for the Republicans is that those crazies took over their party.

But don't worry about them. They are masters of manipulation and by 2024 they'll have the masses hoodwinked all over again.

While concern about campaign debt is wise, I'm more worried about a massive sale of F22 Raptors or F35 Lightenings is made to an oil rich middle eastern country and then suddenly Trump's Deutsche bank debt drops to zero. And if that did happen, how would we know?

Faux exists to promote the needs of the 0.1%. They never were Trump's people. They supported Trump as long as Trump continued signing the bills put before him that gave our treasury to the 0.1%.
Now that he is losing he is of no concern to the 0.1% and thus of no concern to Faux News.

However, they need to be careful. If they abandon Trump too heartlessly, they could lose his MAGAts for a generation and the super rich need that group to continue voting Republican so that 0.`% can continue to thrive.

And his neck probably hurts from all that back and forth.

As for your comment that Hunter being put on that board is problematic I take issue with that. The assumption is that he should not have been put on the board because he has no experience in fossil fuel. By why the assumption that fossil fuel was the issue? Could he have been put on that board because of all the accusations of ethics against that company and they picked him to help the company become more ethical?

Now I'm not saying it was ethical and appropriate. All I'm saying is that assuming that it might be problematic without knowing the facts is just as inappropriate as justifying it as perfectly ethical without all the facts.

And the very fact that the accusations of unethical behavior against that company have gone down since his time on that board could be construed as evidence. You alluded to that but I wanted to make that argument more overt.

By the way, Hunter Biden was the chairman of the board for the American branch of the WHO organization that received the Nobel Prize last month from 2013 to 2019. Right around the same time the Trump kids were being banned from ever running a charity again in their lifetimes and also while the boys were off on big game shoot em ups, Hunter was working for the WHO.

If this pans out California could simply run up deficits until Benedict Donald is in jail or fled the country. Their fiscal year is July to July so they would have plenty of time to get the funding under an American president.

Before you get too scared, the presence of the virus is one thing but the viral load is what is important. If any human gets exposed to a few hundred viruses there will not be an infection. It takes millions of viruses, or at least hundreds of thousands.

So it will probably months or even years before we get a handle on just how contagious it is to handle money, for instance. But just because the DNA of this virus was found on money does not tell us for sure how contagious money really is.

That said, if you live in an area with a lot of cases, then, as an example, you might always use a credit card for purchases, or never take change and let them have it as a tip. If you live in an area with a lot of cases, then you live among the stupid people, as in a red state.

But if you live in a state where the majority of people are doing the right thing, and the numbers reflect that, then it is very unlikely you will catch the disease from surfaces.

"Halfwit thinks cops need 2nd amendment to be armed."

Who's the halfwit. Because of the pervasiveness of guns, cops go into every confrontation expecting to be shot. If we had sane gun control, and it was much less likely for cops to constantly be on the lookout for gun happy -----------, they could approach such incidents like cops do in Europe and indeed the rest of the world.

I doubt this man has anything to do with black lung. But as a Republican he saw the opportunity to grab him some federal money and he's going for it. And as a Republican, the sycophants now running the government will make sure he gets to the front of the line for that money

SNL last night made the point that it's not so much whether Trump is lying right now on whether he really has CV19, but that 60% of the country seriously wonders whether he is lying.

In the USA it is hard to get a test after death. It's a technique our government has found to help keep the death rate down. Now its obvious to all sane people that it doesn't keep the death rate down, in only lowers the count.
And one guy needs the count as low as possible to continue his manipulation of the masses to get re-elected.

The Republican plan is to kill the ACA in court and that creates a crisis. Then use that crisis to pass a bill that brings back junk health insurance. (The ACA makes junk insurance illegal.) But insurance companies love junk insurance. People pay their premiums every month and think they are getting coverage. Then when they get hurt or sick, they find out their coverage sucks, the insurance companies pay little or nothing.
So Trump can promote how he got everybody cheap insurance while actually giving everyone crap. And while passing lousy insurance with the ACA in place would be impossible, it would be easier to do so after killing the ACA.

And when people start finding out how bad Trump insurance is, he can blame the courts or blame Obama for getting their hopes up with an illegal health care plan.

This fact doesn't matter. I have little doubt that the majority of preachers have contempt for Christians as well. These people are mostly con artists and that is why they love Trump.

But the Christian flock is taught at a young age to listen to their preachers. It's a phenomenally successful and self sustaining con job.
