The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Milk The Trump Dividend!

Subscribe to 3 Whisky Happy HourSubscribe

This week Steve and "Lucretia" survey the dismal scene of uphill recount prospects (and why game theory says Trump should fight on even past January 20), the impending COVID tyranny ("Lockdown II: This Time It's Personal!"), and the latest social science nonsense, and decide the only sensible thing to do is pour another whisky and contemplate whether the long-term "Trump dividend" will offer a better return than the 30-year Treasury, or the "soft power dividend" that looks to be coming back under a prospective Biden Administration.

Among other highlights is Steve's prediction of how and why Trump will haunt the waking dreams of liberals for at least the next 50 years, and Lucretia's skepticism that Republicans have learned the right lessons from the Trump Show. And yes, the prospective change of scene means the Power Line Show may need to adopt a new tag line. Listen to the end to hear why, and what we'll change to.

    Were I much further west and not already going to my sister's for Thanksgiving, spending the holiday at the Lucretia household would be an honor.

    Lucretia sounded strong, unwavering, and clear-eyed in her assessment of the weakness of an approaching Biden presidency. Steve, don't start going all wobbly. If you can think of something (anything!) that would convince me that Biden will in any way courageously stand against China and continue playing hardball with them like Trump did, I'd like to hear it.

    Breitbart came out with a really important article about Democrat electioneering. I highlighted it at comment #129.

    It is absolutely shameful that the GOP didn't do some thing about the health insurance system when they had total control. It makes me crazy. What a bunch of liars.
