Yeah I think I’ve sone a good job with a “good lather” here but, in true dumbbell centrist fashion, of I dig one layer past my feed people have talked themselves into the opposite direction with way more confidence than is justified

Ended up on twitter again for baseball reasons and saw more politics stuff and holy crap I do not recommend it, not for content but there are no positive adjectives for the form.

The most-reasonable seeming take I’ve seen is that it should put to rest the idea that he has dementia but at the still seemed too old for the job.

Having only seen that episode as an adult I still can’t quite figure out if it was some quirky vintage thing or just euphemistic.

Independent of all questions about whether he should drop out (idk), it drives me nuts that reading off a teleprompter is used as evidence Biden has dementia—reading scrolling text on a transparent background seems like a pretty good indication that he doesn’t!

Just amazed that our elite press find the heirs to Disney and Walton heirs sympathetic and wronged people. We talk about how they have no self-preservation instinct wrt to Trump but is it any wonder these guys are losing business to the dumbest randos on TikTok?

I have never heard an entire city cheer before or since. It was an experience. Because they knew, they *remembered* what losing democracy was like. I will always vote like the Greeks voted that day.

Every time I see these people, I think of the time I accidentally (courtesy of a flight diversion) found myself in Athens, Greece, on the day of their general election in 1987. I was 14 years old. The junta ruled from 1967 to 1974. The current democracy in Greece was *younger than me*

Interesting mention of how JFK was a big deal for Latino Democrats—it’s a small thing but I’m always a bit surprised to see a JFK portrait alongside the expected Catholic memorabilia in Robert Beltran’s character’s mother’s house in Night of the Comet.

One clarifying thing I saw on twitter is that this discourse is being driven by people who thought DeSantis would be the Republican nominee.

I’ve been trying to figure out the reason why the last few days have unnerved me to the core, well beyond Democratic anxiety. This clarified it for me: my dad has Lewy body dementia, and the term “dementia” is being thrown around ignorantly and maliciously. It’s not the stuff of savvy quips.

Ppl are retweeting this and I just want to add that faxing is THE most annoying thing to do to your representatives. There are websites where you can fax for a small fee and those machines are LOUD and then at the very least they have to deal with all the print outs.

As someone whose father has actual dementia I can say definitively that it’s *not* something that can be hidden by using a teleprompter. In fact he wouldn’t be able to use it as a speech aid at all.

The rule of law is good because it’s clear. A lack of rule of law is bad and you learn that when whatever you had been doing previously without incident all of the sudden becomes something unacceptable because of nebulous behind the scenes changes.

roberts’ reasoning is fundamentally (lower-case “r”) anti-republican. i know we dunk on the framers here but roberts has issued a rebuke of the revolutionary assumption that concentrated, unaccountable power is a fundamental threat to liberty.
