maybe Biden should, now, order seal team 6 to murder six specific supreme court justices in October if that's still a legal thing to do at that time

sorry I missed this for like a month but like: on those terms it's still functioning, no? Like not sure what dysfunction you are referring to (congestion pricing rug pull, maybe?) but if Cuomo decided to reverse course there -- he did btw! -- it would look roughly the same as it does now.

I don't know if "the president's brain doesn't work and it's only going to get worse" meets those lofty criteria, but it's borderline irrelevant. What will matter more is whether his inner circle can maintain the farce. They're doing pretty well so far!

(the "know your enemy" podcast's post debate episode is basically how I feel about it, except I'm in NY and won't be knocking doors or voting for Biden -- like people should be furious at the people who fucking lied to them, not the people who trusted their own eyes re: Biden's condition)

Getting a denial prologue, now. Mostly despair and wake-me-up-in-December amongst my IRL lib friends... the hardcore bluesky ones are dissembling re: the nonimportance of a president's brain function, demanding leftists post specific transition plans, or "just a bad debate performance, chill!"

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

You can fuck right off with that take lol. It was a different pitch to different people, sure, and for some it was what you said, but for there was Zionism, and for some it was white grievance. And the “interests of the Democratic Party” are largely a shell game that for the interests of elites.

This are the most important and accurate words about serving in the United States armed forces ever written. If you served in the US military, in ANY capacity, you either feel enough shame for what you were a part of to regret it, or you're a parasite who isn't worth the air you breathe.

Nobody should be surprised AIPAC went all in, nobody should deny that Bowman did not do the best at shoring up his own political security over the last two years, and nobody should deny Bowman took a brave step by not remaining silent about Palestine. All of it is true. We continue onward anyway.

Bowman / Latimer is sort of a unique situation but it reminds me of something another DSA person told me years ago that has mostly held up: the electoral path for a leftist candidate is generally a little wider for a minority woman (for safe D seats, all else being equal)

Ganz positively sparkles even if you can kind of tell he is tired or annoyed. His book tour must have been grueling; seen a lot of buzz; but the podcast made the sale for me even if I was not in the market for a book -- I only plow through ~2 per year these days lol)

low stakes aside after listening to an excellent QAA podcast ep with John Ganz re: "When the Clock Broke": author interviews can be so great. It's good info re: the book's "voice", and authors are usually generous sharing their book's guts and gemstones.

There’s a Dunning-Kruger effect here: When you’ve seen just enough movies to begin spotting unacknowledged lifts it feels like something shady is going on; when you’ve seen so many that every framing, camera move, and color palette reminds you of earlier work, you realize it doesn’t matter as much.

It’s a closed primary state, the bulk of his campaign messaging (literally dozens of mailers) is Biden needs a staunch ally (not Bowman who didn’t vote for his infrastructure bill), protecting abortion, the fire alarm, and “not believing women” / Zionist dog whistles.

He's always been a transactional machine centrist Dem who "respects" power (former Cuomo bootlicker). He has a lot of support among local elites, unfortunately. I've canvassed for Bowman in the rich-as-hell part of Pelham and it's been better than I expected but still v. fraught lol.

When people see a story like this, they understandably tend to think there must be more to it. Someone must be exaggerating.

But Missouri's attorney general and its courts really are trying to execute a man they all know is innocent.

That's the whole story.
