This’ll never make me a regular on msnbc, but people should be ashamed to admit they support Trump. He is a hideously bad person proposing to enact a vast expansion of cruelty and human suffering. The erosion and collapse of social sanctions for supporting someone so indecent is a big problem.

*sigh* Time to find a new sticker manufacturer.

Not for a solemn thing like "statement on an assassination attempt" but a thing Biden should start doing if he's gonna be late to these livestreams is throw up a slidedeck of his administration's accomplishments that just loops until he actually comes out instead of just "we will begin shortly"

President Biden delivers remarks on the shooting (scheduled for 1:30 p.m. ET, running late)

the country is in a really grim place, and it would be really great if the national conversation were "who's foreign policy do you like" or "wow what great economic ideas the two candidates have, but I prefer this one instead of that one", but alas, that is not where we are

As President, Trump told regulators to block the AT&T-Time Warner merger because he disliked CNN coverage. So what is the head of CNN willing to provide Trump for his stated goal of more media consolidation?

Especially because both Presidents had to do a lot by Exec Order and the regulatory apparatus (though SCOTUS just bombed the latter) because of totally intransigent Republicans in the legislature.

could do a bunch of stories about how dangerous and corrupt it is that we have no idea who was visiting the white house while trump was president but "there's no story there" precisely because Trump did the unethical and non-transparent thing. Whoops!

FBI, etc threaten elite impunity more than local cops especially with a Dem in the WH. Trump doesn't need them and will use CBP as his enforcers.

I think it's going to be fortunate in the end. If we give up on polling we can give up on the horse race and meta arguments and focus more on stakes. (I'm not saying that's going to happen for *this* election)
