Clearing the Tabs December 15, 2021

Here are some things I've read so far this month or will be reading soon. A lot of people are staying at home looking for things to read, so I've broken this month into two parts again, expect a post on December 31 as well to round out the year. Also, just because I post something here does not mean I agree with it, it simply means it made me think and I think my readers might enjoy it.

Here are some things I've read so far this month or will be reading soon. A lot of people are staying at home looking for things to read, so I've broken this month into two parts again, expect a post on September 30 as well. Also, just because I post something here does not mean I agree with it, it simply means it made me think and I think my readers might enjoy it.

Leftist Doesn't See President Trump's Expanded Base

Politidope with a thoroughly uneducated take. Count those who have gone back to work on President Trump's watch as part his base, which supposedly hasn't expanded as the economy has indeed expanded.

This isn't rocket science. Trump won the Electoral College by winning 3 states (WI, MI & PA) by a margin that could fit into Cowboy Stadium with room to spare and hasn't expanded his base since the day he was elected. https://t.co/mW5tZtYCYw
