Yeah, he’s toast next election. I was thinking about this. The upcoming local and state elections are going to be a bloodbath. Even/Especially at the school board level.

He's term-limited. He can't run again.

[jon-nyc]

@LuFins-Dad

He's term limited out anyway.

You know who's leading the race for his replacement?

Andrew Yang!

[jon-nyc]

@George-K We cross posted.

But I'll add, unlike Bloomberg, he can't afford to purchase a one-time exception from the city council and get that third term.

[LuFins Dad]

@George-K @jon-nyc Well, he’s toast for any more elected positions. As is Cuomo and likely Newsome. Any chance California could go purple? So many have headed to Texas, Tennessee, etc... And people are pissed as hell about the shutdowns...

[jon-nyc]

I don't know what De Blasio will do next. It's not inconceivable to see him in a urban-related administration role at some point, maybe when enough time passes for replacements to happen, or under a Harris admin. I could see him doing HUD at some point. But I'm not sure what new elective offices he could realistically aspire to at this point.

One year ago, it was our last Normal Week, and we didn't even know.

The first event I canceled was Saturday the 7th in Boston.

Rachel had come back from LA on the 2nd or 3rd, and those early cases in Westchester appeared while she was gone.

I'd just flown back from the UK on the 2nd, and I was pretty sure what was coming, although I'd totally underestimated how long it would last. I'd spent a week going on slightly paranoid visits to see my mum in hospital, and you could see it ramping up over there - I think they were maybe a week ahead of the US. I felt like I just flew back in the nick of time.

Our last day out was on March 13th. We went to an open air restaurant, downtown. No masks of course. The first case had not even been reported in our county at that time. The first known case in our county was on March 19th.

You don't know what you don't know.

Whoopee...

President Trump would still be president today if

1, There was no COVID or
2. He was able to adapt to COVID situation as it changed,

I think it's fair to say that he had a special ability for not knowing what he didn't know.

Number one is true. Number two is not.

Don't buy the MSM narrative.

I know! Isn't it great?

Even if he doesn't win, this gives him national attention like he didn't have before.

ETA: Silly man. Imagine wanting to hand out money to all working Americans. Tcha!

It might be interesting to see what Yang does. Interesting guy.

No one would have done a damn thing differently than he did. They might have communicated better but the actions taken were on.
