FRANKLIN, Wis. President Trump had just been on Fox and Friends, demanding that his attorney general act against his opponent before the election. He had, the day before, called Joseph R. Biden Jr. a criminal, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci a disaster, government scientists idiots and members of the media real garbage.
Ivanka Trump, meanwhile, was visiting suburban Milwaukee and here for none of this.
I learned that the first ice cream sundae was created in this amazing state! the presidents older daughter and senior White House adviser said from a small stage of a sunlit function room overlooking a pond.
There would be no mentions of Hunter Biden in here, no reference to Hillary Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama, China Virus, witch hunts, fake news, Antifa or rigged elections.

"The people we're seeing in here are very sick," nurse Katie Lanoway said. "They are lonely. They are dealing with this alone and it's becoming increasingly harder for us to try to manage, and playing all these different roles: playing the nurse, playing the support person. It's very difficult.

On Friday, Wisconsin reported a seven-day rolling average of its positivity rate: 22.7 percent. (Thats the percentage of tests that come back positive.) The same rate in New York is currently barely above 1 percent and even thats considered risky.

It's terrifying, said Dr. Katie Gavinski, who started working at UW Health in Madison this summer. I'm very scared that if this doesn't stop soon, we're going to end up with a much bigger problem come winter and flu season.

"It's devastating to see someone struggling to breathe, Gavinski said. You can see the fear in their eyes. You can see how scared they are.

(17,984 posts)Ice Cream Sundae? How far out of the real world can she get! I just know the average suburbanite is interested in that. What with worrying about whether her family will get Covid-19, can they find day care? Groceries if they are laid off, pay the bills, keep health care, take care of elderly parents.

Americans know the bigger story well by now: how an all-consuming hatred of Trump has spurred women, especially suburban women like Susan, to campaign and vote for Democrats all across the country. But the piece often missing from that narrative is that these women arent just expressing their outrage by voting in high-stakes national elections; theyre funneling their energy toward a collection of smaller targets, including statehouse races, local party organizations, and school boards. And all of this activism has the potential to shape American politics in a much more significant way than their biennial votes. Its a renaissance of a very long-standing form of American civic engagement, Theda Skocpol, a Harvard sociologist and political scientist, told me. The question now is whether these women will sustain their zealous engagement no matter which party is in power. Is America entering a new age of activismor is all of this just a Trump-era blip?

Was she campaigning for herself or her father? WTF cares if she is anything at all.
NYS has to put a big hurt on her and donnie or they will be political thorns for 40 years.
