And then realising they were definitely going to win the White…2 min read2 min read
Mar 25, 202126 December, 2020A farewell — I wanted this project to have some sort of conclusion, so we’ll go with this for now. Today it’s Christmas in America and the day after Christmas in New Zealand. Trump lost across the board, and is melting down just like we knew he would. The Senate races in Georgia…1 min read1 min read
Jan 20, 2021October 23, 2020The last debate between Trump and Biden just ended. Trump actually managed to answer questions without too much interrupting. To that end, he probably helped his case a bit. Is it enough to matter? We’ll see. Well, inauguration day is in 90 days. Meaning this post will hit the internet…2 min read2 min read
Jan 18, 2021October 22, 2020It’s October 22. How do things feel? Well, Rudy Guliani is about to be featured in the new Borat movie, which apparently comes out tomorrow.

Jan 2, 2021October 2, 2020Trump has been hospitalised. Lots of other people have been infected too. Senators Lee and Tillis, Kellyanne Conway, his campaign manager, some others I can’t remember right now. It’s been a very intense day. He was able to walk to the helicopter himself, and he sent out a video beforehand explaining what was happening. His doctors have been treating him and they say he’ll be at the hospital for a few days.1 min read1 min read
Dec 31, 2020October 1, 2020Trump has Covid. There were a lot of other things going on today, probably, but since the news came in about three hours ago, it’s hard to think about anything else. Trump’s polls got worse. According to one, he’s even losing in Georgia now, which is insane. That’s like a…1 min read1 min read
Dec 29, 2020September 29, 2020[A quick note about timing: I’m writing this on September 29, US-time. But technically it’s September 30, 2020 where I live in New Zealand.] The big news today is going to be Joe Biden’s first debate with Donald Trump. For about a year, the Bernie Sanders faithful pointed to this…4 min read4 min read
Dec 29, 2020September 30, 2020Holy cow. So the first presidential debate happened, and it’s been universally condemned. It’s not hard to imagine it going down in history as a historic blunder, one taught in classes as what not to do. …2 min read2 min read
