We, as a society lost our minds in 2020 (that is only my opinion).

You didn't need that disclaimer....

Ivermectin and for horses it is dewormer, so it is horse medication. It also has certain treatments for humans.

I’ll also add that about half of that stuff was neither a hoax or untrue but such is MOR

Let’s be honest, I didn’t bring up Ivermectin. :)

Just something to think about when the polls indicate 70-80% of the country believes we are on the wrong track.

As the X legal expert, it may surprise to know SCOTUS has had a right bent since 1969.

Bit of a surprise in France - Marine Le Pen's far-right party will not win the French Parliament. They looked large and in charge after the first round of voting, but now you've got three parties that will have the majority of the membership.

It may also surprise you to know that since Reagan, d and r have each held the house ten times. R have held the senate 11 and d 9.

I guess I can also cherry pick some year and skew it toward a narrative like strange brew. It’s like uc talking about leading the series with x as if the 50s and 60s really matter in today’s basketball.

It's actually fun telling Dayton fans they still lead the overall series with X. It's even more fun to tell them that a)they led the series by 41 games at one point and b)are you really sure you want to poke the sleeping dog and revive that series? What's the NCAA record for the biggest lead in a series only to lose said lead? I feel like that should be a Tom Eiser question to research during the summer.

Major pressure is being exerted on Biden to get out: https://www.dailywire.com/news/disne...ors-dump-biden

This could be the Dems only path. Going with another candidate presents many problems:

* Some organization (I believe The Heritage Foundation), has threatened to sue the Dems on behalf of a few states if they choose another candidate. It has something to do with the election laws for a few key states - not sure of specifics though.

* There's also the issue with money that has already been donated to Biden-Harris. Apparently this isn't an issue if Biden resigns and Harris becomes the nominee. But there appears to be hurdles if Biden-Harris tried to transfer that to another candidate.

* Bypassing the primary process.


** also note that the media and several Dems are openly promoting Harris.

Lou must be losing his mind with UK and France's latest elections.
