The interview ends and they cut to George outside and it is QUIETER. They know they have someone with a soft voice and they undercut him with a constant noise. I've done enough TV I know how they can judge background sound and ABC News did not do its job. Shameful.

I spoke to a friend I knew in high school who told me he "doesn't follow politics." I asked him what he thought about the election. He said, "I hear Biden's a senile wreck." He also said he hadn't heard of SCOTUS granting Trump immunity and has never heard of Project 2025. Media's doing a great job.

So is this part we repeat history almost a century later and start regarding the NYTimes as less of a “trusted news source” and more “a vital part of the fascist propaganda machine”?

The #1 predictor of happiness is social support, acc to Danish happiness researcher Meik Wiking. Joe Biden has been in US govt since age 29 + is loved, beloved, and treasured by family, friends, + colleagues. I wish we all could have the depth of expertise + tight support that he has.

Question: If Dobald Thumb had had an unstellar debate showing WITH a cold, would ANYBODY be suggesting that he step aside? Hell, no. Joe Biden won his first Senate election at age 29 BEFORE he was eligible to serve at 30. Is that bold? I have EVEN more respect + admiration for him now.

Note: My mother is journeying through Alzheimer’s and the jokes I’m hearing about the disease enrage me. 🖕🏾🖕🏾 I also know what it looks like. That’s not what I see with Biden. I see an old slower man, who still can and is willing (for some reason) to work, even if he has his moments.

This podcast was recommended by someone whose post I've lost.
The question it answers: When did the USA lose it's grounding in the rule of law? --> When did one party - the Republicans - become untethered to strict adherence to rule of law?

You could argue FedSoc exists in part because of jurists like Stephens but they were more than fine just promoting justices until Casey. Once O'Connor and Souter didn't act on Roe, they took the process over. Never again would they not know exactly how a judge was going to rule. 1992.

This is what confounds the idea that Repubs are anti-"Liberal:" IF Liberals are practicing law + defending the rights of all AND Repubs want to block Liberals, THEN Repubs eventually become anti- rights of all and anti- practice of law.
