Exactly right. “the idea that that the process of jettisoning Biden & choosing someone else will go well -- will be *allowed* to go well -- is a deeply deranged fantasy” t.co/OZ915D9QMJ

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

I uploaded my own book manuscript to chatGPT bc I wanted to do some summarization work. I was surprised (and somewhat dismayed) to find it still hallucinated repeatedly when asked to confine itself to material from a directly-uploaded PDF.

Clear articulation of how dangerous the immunity ruling is.

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

Interesting article about how Vladimir Putin is hoping for the election of Donald Trump will help bring the downfall of the United States. The Kremlin calls Trump The American Gorbachev. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/p...

Putin Is Banking On a Trump Win for His New World Orderwww.vanityfair.com Donald Trump’s nickname in the Kremlin? The American Gorbachev. Officials believe his chaos will be the downfall of the US.

Did you ever think the 68 election and Johnson’s not running had anything to do with Biden’s decision to run?

Sound familiar?

Yeah it’s not like we’ll see a repeat of 1968, when the Democrats downshifted to a Vice President at a convention in Chicago that was plagued by protests against the party’s support for an unpopular foreign war and wound up creating an opening for a candidate they’d beat before. Totally different!

TL;DR- Nixon won.

This essay by Dallek about LBJ's decision not to seek reelection is a fine reminder of the unpredictability of events, which may be history's greatest lesson.

What does it say about a society when a kid riding a #bike is so unusual that it results in a #YouTube channel that generates US$100,000? Or, that it’s considered so contrary to public norms that neighbors and even the police rush to condemn it? (Paywall) www.inquirer.com/life/oneway-... (khp)

God Bless Paul Davies and the @PhillyInquirer: "The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump...There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president. The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be."

To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race | Editorial Boardwww.inquirer.com Biden had a horrible night Thursday. But the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.

Exactly this.

anyway I can’t think of any way that unceremoniously ejecting the incumbent Dem president from the ticket, four months before the election, with no agreement on a successor, no process to pick one, and most people pushing the idea assuming it WON’T be the vice presidents, could possibly backfire

Are there legislative proposals to address the damage of Chevron? Know it won’t pass now but have they thought through what to do about it?

Absolutely right.

There’s a debate strategy often used by pseudoscience peddlers known as the Gish Gallop. The debater throws out a barrage of false claims, one after another, far too many for the opponent to ever actually refute them all. The opponent stalls as he tries to figure out what to respond to first.

So insidious (shared). wapo.st/3VXmqoH

Trump allies test a new strategy for blocking election resultswapo.st In five battleground states, county-level officials have tried to block the certification of vote tallies — which election experts worry is a test run for trying to thwart a Biden victory.

If you want to understand politics through the lens of naked, cynical power plays, look no further than Tacitus.
