Just for a bit of diversion from the heavy stuff.
The only difference between Toobin and Giuliani? Toobin managed to get it out of his pants.

After four years of arrogant bastard, Biden ale should be a refreshing changeBrewery launches new Biden beer described as ‘inoffensive and not too bitter’
A Wisconsin brewery introduced a new beer bearing the name of President-elect Joe Biden this week, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.Biden Beer was introduced at Minocqua B…thehill.com
COVID might have been a tipping point for Biden but was it as important in this election as we have been led to believe? It doesn't seem so to me. Else there would have been fewer votes for Trump and more seats handed to Democrats in the House and Senate. Sure, Trump probably lost because a few percent tipped to Biden due to CV and that is huge, don't get me wrong. Still though, more Black men voted for Trump than in 2016 and same with Latino men. There was no blue wave in Congress. To many, their vote was based upon pocketbook issue and Republicans seemed to do well with the voters on that topic. At least that's what I've heard on NPR and read elsewhere.I feel President Biden's success or failure will still depend greatly on COVID, barring war or something. One scenario for the 2022 midterms is that COVID has been pretty much licked and that the economy is really starting to roll. As someone said, Rounding the Corner, churches packed for Easter, Roaring Back. If that happens then inflation could be a problem. Wages always lag inflation. It's complicated. I doubt Georgia will elect two Democrat Senators. So I hope things can be better after mid terms.
The same people that were so filled with propaganda that they thought (wrongly) the last 6 years of Obama was economically failed and that Trump came in and turned everything around?COVID might have been a tipping point for Biden but was it as important in this election as we have been led to believe?

So, I think an important number of people will judge Biden on how he does in terms of jobs and economic status. Can't expand the economy in an epidemic, so CV becomes an economic issue, not a political issue in its own right. But after that, people will judge Biden according to their economic status. It's always been the economy. Yes, racial issues, civil rights issues, policing issues are all important. As Biden says we can walk and chew gum at the same time. But if people don't see movement toward a better future for themselves, it won't matter.
I remember seeing exit polls showing Biden voters were more concerned about racial inequalities than Covid.COVID might have been a tipping point for Biden but was it as important in this election as we have been led to believe?

African Americans run the democratic party and have Joe and the party by the balls, most are long term thinkers. Police and justice reform has super majority support among the public, so it is not a reach. All the "hot button" issues have super majority support, when you remove racism as a component, you get a clearer picture in the surveys.I remember seeing exit polls showing Biden voters were more concerned about racial inequalities than Covid.
Covid will be the focus for now but unless substantial progress is made with police reform and other racial issues, I fear the Biden administration will be seen as a failure by many who voted for him.
If getting through Covid isn’t a daunting enough task, making progress against centuries of racial inequities will be even more difficult. I hope the electorate has the patience required.

I'm in Oklahoma and it's legal here...dont need it legal on federal levelBiden will win, but unfortunately Republicans might keep the Senate. No federal legalization any time soon.
I don't think that they will need to wait long to see the stark difference between Trump's racist agenda and the way Biden wipes it from the map.I remember seeing exit polls showing Biden voters were more concerned about racial inequalities than Covid.

It's my way of saying African Americans are important in the democratic party and their issues will not be ignored. Black women are increasingly the backbone of the democratic party in terms of organization, Stacey Abrahams is vital right now and with that goes power. Joe owes Clyburn bigly too.What???

Apparently when they get to 270 votes the Electoral College will be abolished. And right now they are at 194 or 196
Um yes, yes we do. I’d like my insurance to pay for it like it does all my meds for one thing.I'm in Oklahoma and it's legal here...dont need it legal on federal level
Thinking and caring about others is what makes a community, country and a patriot. Federal legalization will improve your life too and reduce much unnecessary suffering, you don't care about much it seems, except yourself.I'm in Oklahoma and it's legal here...dont need it legal on federal level
Important definitely but far from running the Democratic Party imho.It's my way of saying African Americans are important in the democratic party and their issues will not be ignored. Black women are increasingly the backbone of the democratic party in terms of organization, Stacey Abrahams is vital right now and with that goes power. Joe owes Clyburn bigly too.
Oh, yes we do. It needs to be completely removed from any "schedule", in order to free up research.I'm in Oklahoma and it's legal here...dont need it legal on federal level
