I half-wonder if Biden wins/Republicans retain Senate that McConnell could just say "I will not take up a single bill written by Democrats until the 2024 election" and get away with it/still retain a majority in 2022

Lol wtf, I'm not even American and I've known about Joe Biden's stutter since 2008. It's impossible to watch 15 minutes of him without being made aware of it. He's always been exactly like that.

On the flipside, if you watched his town hall for example, it's incredible how vast his political knowledge is and how many super random things and numbers from 40 years ago he remembers. His brain is definitely much sharper than mine and I'm 45 years younger.

He's not a very good performer (although not as bad as Trump campaign has painted him to be, which was a really bad move by them), and it's largely because of the stutter, and it's a big disadvantage for him in the election as well.

Problem for Biden is that if he wins he will be stepping into the Presidency just as C19 blows up again, and because of lag from cases to deaths he will be the one eating the **** on a situation that got out of hand before he was president.

The pivot fox will do on C19 once there is a Democratic president will be all time historic.

It will be a completely contradictory mix of "Biden is too draconian let people live their lives!" and "Biden isn't doing enough, people are dying!".

The contradiction won't matter to viewers - who are free to just pick which grievance to fume about.

Yup.

Seen it before as Obama was blamed for the bailout, for an issue that was not created during his term.

I went to see what our resident political expert on Wisconsin had to say about this and I was not disappointed

I keep seeing stories about how it's going to take XX years to get the tax incentives "back" and while that's technically true, the alternative is getting $0. Delaying tax revenue for a decade in exchange for many billions of dollars being dumped into your state's economy and creating an anchor for further development seems like the biggest no-brainer of all time.

If they don't get the incentive from us, they'll just take the Ohio or Michigan deal instead. You won't get to 'keep' money that was never real to begin with."

I don't know many details about NYC, but the Dems in Wisconsin were against Foxconn just because it made Scott Walker look good. They had to try to twist words beyond their breaking point to make it seem like the reasons were financial, but make no mistake, it was just because the red team would've gotten credit.

Foxconn doesn't get any of the incentives if they don't hold up their end of the bargain, so you calling it a scam just comes off as being very uninformed.
About a dozen of his posts make the argument of "worst case scenario, Foxconn doesn't create the jobs and Wisconsin doesn't have to pay them the subsidies". Yeah, about that:

Quote:
Though Foxconn’s plans appeared in flux, state and local governments continued work on the infrastructure Foxconn had said it would need. Mount Pleasant’s village board voted to blight the area slated for the factory and threatened residents with eminent domain if they didn’t move.
Quote:
Of the $100 million gift Gou promised the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the school confirmed that only $700,000 ever arrived.
Quote:
The Village of Mount Pleasant took on hundreds of millions in debt that was supposed to be repaid by property taxes on Foxconn’s fantastic campus. It will now have to hope Foxconn honors its contractual obligation to make up the shortfall.

I miss those heady days of trump settling his fraud suit to enter the WH with a nice clean slate and ready to become Presidential. So much potential

Even the handful of jobs the company claims to have created are less than real: many of them held by people with nothing to do, hired so the company could reach the number required for it to get tax subsidy payments from Wisconsin.

State and local governments spent at least $400 million, largely on land and infrastructure Foxconn will likely never need. Residents were pushed from their homes under threat of eminent domain and dozens of houses bulldozed to clear property Foxconn doesn’t know what to do with.

Right I mean I give people like you a bit of a pass given the propaganda but inso s stuff is easily understood predicted and recorded.

But you could do better sure. I weigh it in terms of intelligence as well. Like I wouldn't expect my dog to understand math. In that vein maybe I am too hard on inso. But your expectations seem about right.
