Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

The American Semiquincentennial will occur two years from today. Number 250, baby! 🇺🇸 Which next president would best personify the principles of the American Dream, and which wouldn't?

I really cannot emphasize how catastrophically bad the Court's ruling was. I do my best not to exaggerate about these kinds of things but I am still kind of in shock

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

And it’ll be the exact same pundits who are demanding the Democrats replace Biden who’ll criticize them as soon as they do.

The NYT editorial board is staffed by sinecure positions. It's effectively the nation's most powerful garden party. It exists to perpetuate itself not serve. I know. "Now do political party structures!" and I just did.

Joe Biden: Three Weeks and Four Months
www.emptywheel.net/2024/06/28/j...
Among other things, this post notes how much more stress Biden had been under in the 3 weeks leading up to the debate than he had leading up to SOTU.

The debate is irrelevant. No one will remember or talk about it in a week. The only important election news this week was the NYTs admitting its national polling is fucked because the only people answering the phone are old Republicans. And everyone ignored it.

When you're the most powerful person in the world for three-plus years, and do it capably, it's human nature not to be jazzed about interacting with a lying, raping felon for 90 minutes.

Trump is a bullshitter in that specific technical sense where whatever the objective facts are or what the capital T “Truth” is are utterly meaningless to him. He just says shit and whether or not it makes sense does not matter to him or his supporters. He could be replaced by a soundboard.

Here’s a question for conservative theologians: An estimated one million miscarriages per year occur in the US in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. (After that, fetal deaths are termed “stillbirths.”) My question: Who or what causes these in most cases? Are these “acts of God”? 🤔

No "immunity" ruling. Again. When Trump and his lawyers make the "legal" argument that Trump's above the law for life, and the judicial system's response isn't a quick "what, are you kidding, no," that alone is a big problem. When speed helps Trump, SCOTUS has ruled fast. When delay does, they wait.

absolutely this. republicans thrive on decline! republican policies bring economic decline which brings outmigration of young people and professionals, which strengthens the republican hold on government which brings even more conservative policies which brings greater decline, etc.

new from me: Not enough people are aware of Russ Vought, the former OMB director turned pro-Trump think tanker, and the role he's playing in crafting the policies that the GOP will cling to long after Trump is no longer on the ballot

Teen me got a radio station poster of Top 100 albums of Rock 'n' Roll's first 25 years. No. 1 was Sgt. Pepper's. Now, it's not even a Beatles Top 3. Conventional Wisdom definitely does evolve in surprising ways.

Re: Angel Hernandez, future Savannah Bananas heel:

Wasn't worst at the job, but his cranky arrogance made him seem so.

If he was "Andy Herman,"
or his skin not brown,
I suspect he would've quietly coasted like MLB's other sub-median umps.

I wonder if this👇🏼was a prod, or a plant?
