Apparently there was an expression among some Dead fans that ‘Phil makes the band.’ This was mocked by others who noted how the band as we knew it faded when Jerry Garcia died. Then I bought a speaker with great bass range and decided ‘Phil makes the band.’ https://t.co/mNwZBSIpYn

I wasn’t particularly outraged when people (most famously Gloria Steinem) seemed to give Bill Clinton the benefit of a “One Free Grope” rule. Depends on how gropey, etc.

But a One Free Slap rule, which Emhoff seems to be benefitting from, makes no sense. https://t.co/ZWd73X4Wxq

The Mexican government “solved” the problem for us, to help Biden/Harris. After the election (if Harris wins) they will stop solving the problem for us.

This was supposed to be the town hall where Harris could unveil her bold, new, tough pivot on immigration. No such luck.

Yes, early voting would push the ideal date earlier. But as you say the more undecided/influenceable voters aren’t likely to vote early. The Feiler Faster principle would push the date later, since it means you can recover from scandal faster (and it’s harder to just stall). https://t.co/BXqSjoZwdg

And then (1924) Congress clamped down on immigration until 1965. The decades in which the modern, powerful prosperous middle class US was forged were low immigration decades.
