- Julian Sanchez, on Threads, had chided those whose view of the Supreme Court had turned to jaded cynicism.
Now he confesses he had been insufficiently skeptical about the integrity of SCOTUS justices:
- Dave Columbo explains how so many Trump shocks get quickly forgotten because of subsequently more shocking Trump shocks.
With a shocking example of shock:
- Green Eagle, always willing to help, has a way for an increasingly forgetful, absent minded, easily distracted, deteriorating Donald Trump to remember an important fact.
- At The Onion, a new poll of likely voters finds only 19% believe the country is ready for a competent president.
- So mr Trump thinks he, his own self, is the reason for the soaring Biden stock market. See, it’s actually caused by the anticipated Trump victory in November. (Uh huh…)
Frances Langum thinks it significant that, of all people on the Fox Network, Neil Cavuto is having none of it.
- At The Moderate Voice, Joe Gandelman suggests that big wins by Biden and Trump in the Michigan primary still represent warnings to both candidates, but perhaps a bigger warning to one than the other.
- The Palmer Report says this past week’s voting in Michigan told us what we need to know about where things stand. Biden got 81% of Democrats, while Trump got 68% of Republicans.
The media, however, keep ginning up stories about bad news for Biden.
In reality:
Protest voting on the Dem side kind of fizzled. Uncommitted got 13%, way fewer than the Biden-gloom many televised analysts projected.
Still, the nobody vote was way more than that of Marianne Williamson. She was ecstatic, though, having edged Dean Phillips by almost a third of a percent (Yay you, moon child!).
My overactive imagination gave me competing preemptive headlines for drama addicted media.
Nobody is more popular among Democrats than Williamson!
AND
At least Biden is better than nobody…
Come on! I’m trying, okay?
- Scotties Playtime goes Twittering (or is it Xing) for the intersection of Republicans, Christian nationalists, and November elections.
- As The Psy of Life puts it, Election 2024 should be a shoe‑in for the Democrats. So why the uncertainty?
CalicoJack suggests a neurological reason, combined with such human tendencies as carryover mode, ageism, hindsight bias, fig‑leaf rhetoric, and follow‑the‑leader.
Key complicity:
The press is doing its level best to make it a politics‑as‑usual horserace election because profits are people too, my friend.
- driftglass restates the case against unexamined, reflexive both sides do it arguments.
Key question:
What’s more addictive than meth, more profitable than iPhones. more indestructible than Kevlar and easier to make than Top Ramen?
Come on, folks. Let’s not always see the same hands!
