I think the actual original sin of this era is James Comey assuming Clinton was going to win and wanting to demonstrate his independence from her.

This whole run of news about Biden’s mental state is a pathetic distraction, the lowest of low hanging fruit for the media and politicians who are too cowardly and entrenched to mount a meaningful opposition to Trump.

For future reference, I’m saying this now: Democrats and liberal groups need to plan on investing a shitload of money into the state races during the 2030 midterms that coincide with the census.

Alcatraz won’t reopen. But it’s the rhetorical point: prisons should be cruel and punitive and—importantly—isolating. All things we know, from piles of work, don’t actually promote safety. But it’s example #1963 of how “tough on crime” is never abt safety, but abt performative cruelty.

Ten years of Trump going on TV and just fucking saying whatever, and still nothing like an industry set of best practices to deal with it. Put someone on the set with a laptop to look stuff up, pause the interview, whatever. He'd walk off but so what. Amazing to still be at "agree to disagree."

I am begging literally any of these people to visit New Orleans. Or Detroit. Or attend a day of eviction court hearings in Houston. Literally get away from the coastal cities and look at places with high housing supply and think about why none of these dynamics are present.

A few days ago I was reading (& replying to) a #NOLASky thread about, among other things, the lack of tourist in tourist season, but I gotta say: there’s a LOT OF TRAFFIC OUT HERE! And Costco gas 8 cars deep in every lane—in the middle of the afternoon, middle of the week.
