The Allied advance continues.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

It appears that the solidarity shown by the non-fascist parties in France has led to the defeat, at least for today, of the fascists. Specifically, left & center coordinated to support the candidate most likely to defeat the fascists in hundreds of constituencies. There’s a lesson to be learned.

thought i'd check my camera roll for "nuzzi"

Amazing the Olivia Nuzzi story can’t get a single person to go on the record, and the strongest evidence against Biden’s mental health is he didn’t remember her name.

There’s nothing wrong with looking at a candidate’s fitness for office. I understand the concerns a lot of people express about Biden. I felt the same way after that miserable debate. But the discussion’s over unless Biden changes his mind, because today he made it clear that he’s not quitting.

I am glad this piece about the Heritage Foundation threatening civil war if the left doesn’t accept a monarchy came out in the WaPo. More like this, please.

Erin go bragh.

Since my childhood on LI, I’ve been an Irish Republican. “England Out Of Ireland” has always resonated with me. I cheered the Good Friday Accords. I believe Brexit made Irish reunification more likely. I think the crazy-quilt economic border with GB & EU will make referendum more likely soon.

So, they stole the children's food and shelter money Now they sue the people that exposed the fraud to get money and the identities of the whistleblowers "Rabbit's got the gun" says Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant's lawyer William M. 'Billy' Quin II, with a smirk Bryant seems complicit #WWJD

I've seen tomorrow's NYT front page (international edition), and it's time to update the kitten meme again.

With new reporting out today saying that New York Times publisher AG Sulzberger is encouraging his writers to attack Biden over his age until Biden gives a long interview to his newspaper, it's time to update the kitten meme.

The crux of this is that these people feel sincerely entitled to a president who fits their personal preferences, rather than just trying to get the least fucked-up and harmful option in a busted system where bad interests have lots of power

The reason pundits like the contested convention thing is that it plays to their vanities: what if the smart people made a meritocratic decision about who’s best? This is driven, in part, by being mostly isolated from negative reactions to their opinions over the years.

Idk if I'm stating the obvious, but justices never write/speak like this. She's telling the world this is a five-alarm fire and the coup is on.

As Justice Elena Kagan wrote in her dissent last Friday, “The majority disdains restraint, and grasps for power” — and the justices are “making a laughing-stock” of long-standing judicial principles. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The Supreme Court Is a Joke. It’s Not Funnywww.rollingstone.com The justices accidentally, repeatedly referenced laughing gas in a disastrous ruling before declaring that judges know better than agency regulators.

Stand up, Philadelphia.

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.
