"Politics would be interesting again"
Oh, jeez, I'm sorry that SCOTUS Team 6 waterboarding democracy to pave the way for a felon-messiah-king who's vowing to use the presidency to deport millions and imprison his foes for treason hasn't been INTERESTING enough for you.
Let me jangle some car keys.
Those are words that can only be spoken by someone (mistakenly) sufficiently confident of their place atop the new pecking order. Privilege drips off their keyboard.
Interesting to him is a freaking nightmare with real world consequences to millions around the planet.
What drugs do pundits take?
Hopefully the jangling of car keys will redirect their attention to the waterboarding of democracy but it certainly didn't work during a lengthy discussion with a neighbor early this morning who seemed to be stuck in neutral and spinning the wheels.
People forget that there is a subset of jobs where "uninteresting" is a good thing.
An eight-hour shift at a firehouse spent on standby and maintenance means *there were no fires for eight hours.*
Geeze, it's all about ratings and entertainment now, isn't it? Yesterday, Reply Guys were equating Trump's ability to stand at a podium and speak (bleat is more like it) for 90 minutes with an ability to govern. Mark Burnett did this. Burnett turned America into the Roman Coliseum.
SCOTUS Team 6 *is* the #1 priority for Nov 5. I don't think anyone who's paying attention at this point would argue.
The question is what to do about it. Is Joe Biden clear-headed? Can he make a sound decision about whether to soldier on or step down? And if he stays on and is wrong? Then what? 1/2
One option is to swap places on the ticket. Let Harris take the lead and stay on as VP, to confer, advise, take on a lighter but still significant role in negotiating with Congress and as liaison to the NATO nations and Middle East. Is that feasible? 2/2
I didn't watch the debate, but this is an honest question:
Aside from that (very) awkward minute that ended with "...and we beat Medicare", What EXACTLY did Biden do or so that makes people think his cognitive abilities are *more* impaired that Trump's?
Numerous stumbles, delivered in a rambling, incoherent, ineffectual manner. Stating numbers that were clearly wrong, then going back to fix it.
I'd suggest finding the video and watching at least the first 15 or 20 minutes. It wasn't just what he said, but facial expressions and demeanor, too.
I've tried to watch, but everything on YouTube is either blatantly partisan, or media outlets with a vested interest in playing up the "horse race" narrative.
If you can link to examples, I'll check it out. But to panic because of 15-20 minutes after 4 years of good governance seems a tad extreme.
I get it, I'm not accusing you of bad faith, but ALL the footage I've seen is just that one segment. I've also heard that
1) Biden was taking notes while DJT was speaking, but the cameras did not capture his hands, thus the weird expressions
2) Jet lag a real possibility after his recent schedule
...why do they believe the consequences of capitulating to the whims of Tom 'shoot those un American protestors' Cotton & Josh 'fast for a white dude' Hawley are going to fall on someone else, not them?
If you haven't already, listen to the conversation between Rachel Maddow and Tony Kushner, recorded May 26. That was before SCOTUS Team 6 handed down these unthinkable decisions. There's video on MSNBC.com if you can access. Otherwise, a link to the podcast episode here: link.chtbl.com/rmpust_scl
Yes, and at some point, there would be a legal challenge to the ad-hoc primary process, and SC would find some way to disqualify the Democratic candidate.
