My lukewarm take is that Biden losing the support of the Pod Johns is actually not that surprising given how his administration has washed much of the Clinton influence from actual operations and not been much better for the worst dullards from Obama.

Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick are DELAYING federal aid to Texas for Hurricane Beryl — because Abbott left the country just as the storm hit Joe Biden personally called the Houston Chronicle newspaper to try to track down Abbott. THAT is how dysfunctional Texas Republicans are.

Lotta media dudes who used to be the smartest kid in class seem more emotionally invested in being able to say I-told-ya-so if Biden loses than relentlessly conveying the stakes of the election, let alone obsessing over Trump’s uniquely compelling electoral baggage.

Boeing is pleading guilty to a fraud that killed over 300 people. Their punishment is fines. At least one person made a decision to perpetuate this fraud, so why is nobody going to jail? If corporations have the same rights as people, they should face the same criminal liabilities as well.

Journalists are downplaying multiple conservatives calling for mass violence against liberals, and they think repeating “but the narrative is Biden old” is a workable justification for it. Really, really impressive work earning that public trust y’all demand of us.

I dunno, this seems like it is a relevant story to pursue and surface if we are REALLY debating presidential fitness through anonymously sourced news stories, only this isn’t anonymous. There’s a reason this has been ignored by the Post/NYT/etc. for the last four days and it’s isn’t civic virtue.
