I think the idea of a sympathy vote for Pence is unlikely. This is not an accident, the personality cult can’t have two leaders. He has no charisma at all and will not appeal at all to the diehard Maga types who believe that it is special attributes of Trump that make him the the chosen one.
If anything, if Trump dies…

Donald Trump is a very bad human. I don’t like anything about his personality, his actions or his politics.
I did not wish that he catch this terrible disease. Now that through his stupidity he has caught it I’m not wishing that it kills him. If he does die I won’t be sad, but I won’t be happy either.
To be honest I…
I believe that few people are “utterly soul-less ghouls” like you describe. But I do think that organizations have incentives (mostly around money and profit) to take the cheapest route to a safety goal rather than the one that has the least risk to those who actually take the risks. Senior management love their…
Of course he is important to study, but to study him without acknowledging his participation in a society that believed that owning people was OK is utter BS. He had enslaved servants the entire time he was in command of the Continental Army and while he was President. He even deliberately took actions to avoid laws…
Given the politics of the time I think it is pretty likely that something like that would have been discussed in a way that survived in the historical record but I am not aware of anything like that. On the other hand he wrote very touching love letters to his wife and there is a decent chance that one of the…
Yeah, I don’t know any Democrats that say he was a complete villain. It really is about recognizing that he was a man of his time, and his time had some truly evil and villainous aspects that he participated in and helped perpetuate. He was also a truly amazing man in that he really did not desire to rule forever and…
If you think enslaving humans was a tiny aspect of Washington’s life you really don’t know anything about Washington. He own people and their forced labor was part of his life every single day. His ownership of people was the key to whatever financial success he expected to obtain from his businesses. It was a key…
Sometimes you need to chop them down to get that nice cherry wood to make pretty furniture. Maybe he was an aspiring cabinet maker?
This was a very interesting book and a definite recommendation.
Its not like the money went to the Bank of England and it reduced the money supply by £3M. The money went into an account somewhere and that account is used to maintain Royal properties. It will eventually be used to pay contractors who do work on buildings.
How money gets created by governments is a moderately…
The fact that Harry said terrible things for which he has apologized (of questionable value I know) does not excuse the terrible racist treatment they have received. Anything he said doesn’t make all the crap hurled at them any less racist. Two wrongs, whatever.
That was very long-winded way of saying “Hamilton’s dominance reminds me of peak Michael Jordan, and I was not even a fan of Jordan.” The lack of capitalization made it even harder to read.
Now playing
I’ll just leave this here...
A cable stayed bridge is a form of suspension bridge. </pedantry>
For the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges in San Francisco Bay I don’t think you could get fighters dispatched that quickly even if the authorities wanted to do so. I’m not sure where the nearest base is, bit I think it is probably Fresno. Even if the pilot was sitting in a ready to roll plane it would probably be ten…
It is definitely better when there are only 20 cars in the race.
Unless new regs somehow catch Mercedes out. It is unlikely but possible.
If you think Hamilton’s wins are “easy peasy” then are not paying attention. Driving these cars is very hard, even for talented drivers like Bottas
