In my (and my wife's) defense, we were in Bama in 2016. I think he gets crushed in 22 if he runs. The Dems have won pretty much every statewide election the the last few years. Which brings up the insanity of WI Republican Gerrymandering as the house/senate are one vote shy of a Republican veto proof majority in a state where Dems win all the statewide elections.

Prick was at Mar-a-Lago the other day.
Wasn't following US politics in 2009, but i don't think the GOP response to obama's stimulus was so disjointed or quiet, and also biden's stimulus itself is about 100x better than obama's. Midterm wins are the default, but looking at UK polling following the vaccine (and expecting similar expectations in the US), they have a tough task.
so far their main plank seems to be cancel culture, but i'm doubtful you can win an election around saving trump's twitter account, rather than the muslim president is killing your grandmother.

The guys over at Pod Save America (who were part of Obama's Admin) actually addressed this on their Thursday podcast. To paraphrase them, they essentially said that this is down to Biden being so vanilla. In 09 they had a black president with a "foreign" name to attack. Plus they had leaders who were good at doing things other than blocking legislative votes or reading Dr. Seuss.
You know more than pretty much anyone - although it's a little more complex. These three are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but are sovereign states in most respects. The islands of Saba and Sint Eustatius (both near Sint Maarten) and Bonaire (near Aruba and Curacao) are part of the state of the Netherlands, constituting three separate municipalities. And that's it, no further overseas territories remain. (Except if you want to count the islands off the Dutch coast.

St Maarten was fun.
I'm in France

Switching languages every hop must be tiring though.St Maarten was fun.

As if. I am American, so I expect everyone to speak American.
Don't think you'd be disappointed with that in a place like Sint Maarten anyway.

My brother is studying medicine in St Maarten. Tell me what to do after I pop in and check in on him for 10 mins
We were on a cruise (ugh....but it was my in-laws 40th Anniversary and they love cruises.....) so we only had a few hours. We took a cab up into the French half and went to Orient Bay. Nice clean beach, lots of bars. One thing to watch out for is the multitude of vendors roaming all the "tourist" beaches. The first time I was offered a massage by a random stranger was a bit odd. Wife was not happy by the 20th time.

I want to see the beach where planes fly right over.
Guys, politics thread.
This conversation is in honor of Ted Cruz.
Further evidence that a political party has chosen nihilism.
If they get the vaccine it means they are going against the word of their god Donald J. Trump (who secretly got the vaccine before he left office). Can't be having any blasphemy.
Did Fox News and other conservative outlets announce that Trump got the vaccine?
Having it on CNN and MSNBC is grand but it's not going to reach the right audience.

To be honest, I wasn't overly sad when Trump was having his super spreader events during his campaign and this is no different. If there is a small bit of culling going on, I am glad it's these knuckleheads.
except that heard immunity can only be reached when 70-90% (and higher is obviously MUCH better) of the population is vaccinated. There is still limited data on how well previous infection conveys long-term immunity, so he chances are that you will need to be vaccinated again in the future. If we never reach the required HI levels then COVID will persist in a meaningful way, and mutate.
Had a similar experience in Bristol, VA/Bristol, TN though tbf the language, while sounding foreign to me, wasn't different on one side from the other.St Maarten was fun.

I don't know the place at all, but I think this is close to the airport.
I want to see the beach where planes fly right over.
This airport may or may not be similar to the one in Cancun were Cruz arrived and left within about a day's time.
Come join me in the actually bilingually city of Ottawa to experience the real thing every day! (The real thing may or may not be included every day. No promises about Ted Cruz one way or another.)
Yeah, that's what the logical side of me thinks as well. My heart is the one telling them they can not have the vaccine and get terribly ill. In reality, I can see us needing vaccine's every year like the flu to counter all of the new strains each year.
It blows my mind, similar to the moon landing, that we could eradicate smallpox and polio GLOBALLY decades ago, but could probably never do it now.
Just saw this. American “politicians” are something else.
Didn't she threaten others online? And didn't she stalk David Hogg claiming the be armed?
Nobody should be threatening her or her kids like that but she's not in any position to now be playing the victim.
Also, wouldn't frivolous court cases be thrown out of court? Not settled out of court?
No one’s talking about taking away gun ownership rights, though.
Right now, every citizen in this country lives within 200 miles of a store that will sell them a gun during the same store visit, far quicker than buying a car. This won’t change. Placing common sense restrictions on gun purchasing won’t take away the right to own a gun. It may take away certain types of guns, but there will always be legal ways to own a gun.
The slippery slope arguments are so immature, but so effective on the mental deficients.

Nothing to see here except the standard GOP response to anything the Dems propose. It's obstruction all the way.
No ideas of their own cos it's easier to be a critic of others.
Anonymous or someone should hack that site and just after this part -- This is the same type of gun that TRIGGERS the Fake News Media and Democrats all across the country. -- with the following -- It's also modeled after the weapon most often used in every mass shooting incident in the US, like the one that killed 20 children in Sandy Hook!
there are so many different threads this can go in (Qanon, Fox News, US Politics). Matt Gaetz taking down Tucker would be one of the greatest things ever. Apparently the whole interview was absolute fecking bonkers.
Some background...
feck Liz Cheney b/c she is a monster too, but this made me chuckle.
What is this in reference to (not Liz Cheney, but the attire)?
Game of Thrones, I think.
