That seems unwise, but just the other day they added a huge Trump/Vance sign. This is a terrible idea! You’re just alienating a lot of potential clients. Idiot. An insurance agent near me dedicated their outdoor sign to Trump-supporting slogans throughout 2020, seemingly oblivious to the (my best guess) 65% blue local demographic. Surprise! They’re now out of business. ---

Hey, you never know, Trump might just be confused enough to believe that those images are real. He DOES seem like the type to think some Nigerian kid really made a life-sized sculpture of Jesus riding an elephant out of old water bottles just because he saw it on Facebook. ---

I _honestly_ believe that if the Rs wanted to, they could run an actual candidate and gaslight him into thinking he ran (and won) just to keep him out of their way. Hire a few people to cheer for him and stick a non-recording camera in front of a podium and let him say whatever he wants.

Given the Dems hold the Senate, I would legitimately be impressed if the GOP pulled that off. ---

I only got to this line “The nearly yearlong inquiry by Republicans stops short of alleging any criminal wrongdoing by the president”. Sounds like total exoneration to me. ---

The impeachment report appears to be basically “We’re going to accuse Biden of everything Trump and his family have done, except that there’s no actual evidence of Biden doing anything untoward whereas the Trumps are openly corrupt”. ---

That would be bad. Harris has a lot of freedom now to campaign and make statements that she wouldn’t if she had to take over for Biden. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > The impeachment report appears to be basically “We’re going to accuse Biden of everything Trump and his family have done, except that there’s no actual evidence of Biden doing anything untoward whereas the Trumps are openly corrupt” Not to mention, “It also all happened while he wasn’t in office, and his involvement was at best tangential.” Seriously, all they have against Joe Biden himself are those phone calls and “pop in” visits. Calling this weak sauce is an insult to weak sauces. ---
