Escaping that other place. Mostly college football (Ski-U-Mah! EMAW!!) and kdrama. Sometimes I write fiction. Not a serious person.

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump does not erase the crimes that Trump himself has committed against American democracy, or the crimes he would commit if given the chance, and no one is obligated to pretend otherwise www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Nothing About the Attempted Assassination Redeems Trumpwww.theatlantic.com This crime does not erase what the former president has done, or what he has promised to do.

I'm not normally vengeful, but I want to point to Vance's nomination and ascension as the product of every purported liberal who touted his book as "revolutionary" over the objections of all the folks who knew better. That shit is partially on them, and they need to own that.

Questions I’ve been asked in the last hour that you can infer from my answers. 1. Yes, but I regret it. Hillbilly Elegy is a terrible book. 2. No, I do not know Usha Vance personally.

Trump’s VP pick … — demanded the DOJ open a criminal investigation of a journalist for “insurrection” over an op-ed critical of Trump — spouted replacement theory garbage — called for criminal prosecutions of other Trump critics — blamed Biden for Trump shooting — called for Biden’s prosecution

Flashback

WSJ this morning. lol at the last bit. "Leaders on both sides need to stop describing the stakes of the election in apocalyptic terms. Democracy won't end if one or the other candidate is elected. Fascism is not aborning if Mr. Trump wins, unless you have little faith in American institutions."

Best “from a diner” reporting in years

Sitting right by two middle aged white guys in a diner. One guy said, “Somebody tried to kill Trump.” The other guy said, “He’s such a dick.” They both grunted affirmation, then started talking about Shōgun. Later, they explained the timeline of Better Call Saul to each other.

The kdrama #ChiefInspector1958 is delightful. That is all.

Djokovic only wakes up when he’s down three match points, lol.

RIP Shannen Doherty.

Somebody tried to kill Donald Trump. That’s a fact. It’s not an endorsement to say him. He didn’t stage it, and saying “well the fact that people would believe he did says something” is dumb as fuck.

Good illustration of two points: 1) American political history is a lot more violent than we're taught in schools, and the era that's ending now is the aberration 2) one reason why that higher baseline level of political violence is left out of the narrative is because of who the victims were.

in all seriousness, political violence has absolutely no place in American life, although, to address this problem, perhaps particular politicians could consider not calling for so much violence at their rallies

Quick points: 1) Assassination attempts are bad, period. 2) We do not know the motives of the shooter. 2) We do not know the political consequences of this event. There were attempts to shoot Teddy Roosevelt, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter shortly before elections; they all survived and lost.
