Mitch is scared shitless of November.

Yes, as evidenced by yesterday's story about pressuring GOP-appointed judges to retire.

Also, I have a radical idea: Maine has a lot of old while people, who always answer the phone. Those old white people are now quarantined.

Maybe someone worth a damn should finally poll Maine.

Mitch is trying to still be running the Senate in 2021.

He actually has a shot at that, so he needs to start swallowing some bitter medicine if he wants to make the most of that shot.

Correct. Even if Trump loses, Republicans will probably have AT LEAST a decent chance of holding the Senate. He has to think about his members, especially one in particular.

Not that I would ever empathize with McConnell but it must be something to provide so cover for these fuckers for years on everything from healthcare to taxes to judges, and when telling them to get over themselves one time and vote for something that would help people even if they don't personally like it, the conference balks. lol.

Real talk.

Do we really gain much by having Bernie drop out tomorrow? I suspect the next month or so is going to be lost to coronavirus headlines, and who the dem nominee is, probably won't register much. I suspect tonight's news will be a somewhat decent litmus test for that. We certainly aren't likely to see a campaign flying all over and doing much of anything any time soon.

Well, it would stop Bernie's official twitter account from shitting on Biden every 30 minutes.

McConnell tells his members to gag and vote for the bill.

In a time of great American (and global) peril, a functioning American government is absolutely necessary. And even that is distasteful to the Republican caucus lmao

Don't forget Trump negotiated with Pelosi already. God Emperor has already approved, his minions need to step in line.

I mean... yeah. The olds are the ones who will vote no matter what. The youngs are the ones who look for any excuse not to vote.

People really thought lower turnout during a pandemic would = advantage Bernie???

While your circumstances are understandable and we would all sympathize, you weren't filing taxes for what sounds like years now. The second the IRS catches wind of that, and they will, they are going to come down 10x harder on you.

Oh for sure I've fucked up, and I need to figure it out. I keep hoping for scenarios where I've got anything at all in savings to where I can make some kind of payment when I file. I'm not saying that I've done the right thing, or the smart thing. Neither of those are true.

I always knew West Virginia was a hot spot, even before our healthcare professionals knew it was a hot spot. A bigger hot spot than New York, but not by much. A bigger hot spot than anywhere in the world.

Who could have possibly predicted that New York would have more cases than West Virginia? Which I believe is now the last state with no reported cases so...

Red states are lagging behind bad. Texas has only tested around 500 people vs around 8000+ for New York and California. Numbers are going to skyrocket once more tests are out.

I just heard that NJ Malls might be closing so I'm probably out of the job for the next few weeks. I didn't file taxes last year either since I was unemployed for most of the year and didn't earn enough to be required to file so I doubt I'll qualify for any of the proposed stimulus checks.

It's not a derail. It's just you've got some serious liability issues that you're talking about here, and there's not really anything we can do with it.

You need legal representation. They will come for you sooner or later, so the quicker you get out in front of this the better. A decent tax attorney will know what you're looking at and what you should do about it; none of us can give you that.

Probably military supply. If so, it'll be funny when they cost 10x to replace through DOD contracts vs. HHS ones.
