In the American medical system, every doctor is savvy about business, and some even specialize in it. I'm just wondering whether Malarkey's medical specialty qualifies him to speak as a COVID-19 expert.

Spend a year on this side of Lake Michigan and let's see if you still believe this.

Definitely an acquired taste. I think you have to be introduced to it as an adult.

What is his medical specialty?

Get a brian.

I almost never see crazies on the L, and you see some on your only trip on one? Awww, not fair.

Yeah, this one won’t end well, either.

That’s fine, you don’t have to believe his direct quote here actually happened. I can’t confirm that Paul Vallas is fire, but he sure is a lot of smoke. Chicago is chartered to have a strong council and a weak mayor, although it has evolved across the decades into a strong mayor-weak council system in practice, in part because they can draw up the budget. Vallas also has the endorsement of the cop union, which to me is very different from being pro-safety. It suggests that he is going to try to redirect dollars from social services to recruiting thousands of fresh cops, which sounds good until they start dropping the standards so they can get more dues-paying FOP members on board quickly and easily. Many head crackers had fled the force after all the pressure departments across the country were receiving due to public pressure after the rash of incidents the past few years. It now looks like Vallas wants to go back, and Catanzara could not be more thrilled. Looks like interesting times the next six weeks here in Big Shoulders.

He is establishing what the line should be for future fundraising and marketing efforts.

Note how Hawley says he wants it at $25 so they add credibility to their future claim to the American people they forced a corrupt Democrat pharma company to act in the interests of America’s heartland voters.

Woke pharma company clearly doesn’t want America to be made great again.

Who is Marty Malarkey and why should I care what he has to say about this?

Helping others is socialist. Unless it’s helping to put up a neighbor’s barn. Anything else is socialist. Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, cowboy. #Murica

Paul Vallas is a newly-minted cop-sniffer who is thisclose to going full MAGA. He has had to run ads defending the idea he is still a Democrat. I can see Fox News falling all over themselves over the next six weeks talking him up as The Great White Hope of Chicago.

Bottom line: maintaining complex infrastructure for safety is expensive and cuts into profits, thus reducing the number and size of yachts the executives can own. It’s the #1 reason they want to prevent government regulation.

Someone weak and powerless like Boebert is exactly the perfect candidate to act out like that and try to make any impact they can. Powerful people don’t need to do that.

Fox was routinely lying before 2008, too. “Fair and balanced”, my ass.

Say no to making America Florida.

He must reeeeeeally wanna kill it.

Exactly what I was thinking as well. Although I gotta believe Raskin and his staff spent some amount of time gaming out the impact of “Banana Republican Party” versus “Banana Republic Party” before he delivered this choice slap on the floor. But yeah, I agree, “Banana Republic Party” works on more levels.

Is it weird that I’m a little surprised that Boebert or someone else on that side didn’t start shouting down Raskin as he was mid-sentence during his smackdown? Allowing the other guy to say his entire piece seems to be an increasingly uncommon act of civility, so at some point soon the interrupting and shouting down is gonna start happening, isn’t it?

I think it was this, and I think it was that.

I think twenty seconds max between pitches will be plenty enough time to maintain tension and emotion in close and late games with runners on.

Also, no way Trump was ever going to let any [deleted] tell him what to do.
