9. So he moved it up by a day? I thought it was Friday the 22nd

[ms liberty]

10. No, duh. Sorry! It is Friday at 5. I forgot today is Thursday...

My workplace closed for COVID on March 25th and I am totally losing track of my days of the week. mr liberty is essential and still working, so I know when it's the weekend but I never know what day it is otherwise.
Editing to add that it is the 22nd at 5 pm that we go into Phase 2, which is Friday, which is tomorrow lol.

4. What made Cooper cave in the first place is still my question.

He caved. Why? He was doing great keeping it closed. Now, the number of cases is skyrocketing.

6. baffling how much repub/trump pressure makes dem pols fold

[theaocp]

7. Not really.

I imagine it's likely donor pressure. Always follow the money. Dems are just as open to donor influence as Pukes are. Get the fucking money out. All other problems stem from it.

8. agree...sad but true. guess it is why I'd be an awful pol.

When faced with that sort of pressure, I'd just dig in my heels and resist.

11. MF45 said he'd run gov't like a business.

Well, when you have folks who dig in their heels in business, we applaud them and then, they're replaced. It's awful, but understandable. Unless you compromise yourself A TON these days, you're going to have less influence, for whatever that's worth. It's always about chasing the damn donor dollars. Those that do that well are rewarded and those of us (me, too!) that like to dig in our heels and do the right thing are shoved aside. Get the money out and you'd be amazed how quickly people start to change. (I realize I make it sound easy and I'm sure everyone knows it, but this mantra needs to be so ingrained in our subconsciousness, we spout it like the Pledge.)
