Tonight, I'll be in dialogue with Christian theologian @matthewkaemingk in Minnesota talking about Islam, immigration, and religious difference

LIVESTREAM it here at 8pm EST: facebook.com/AnselmHouseUMN/
I discuss @matthewkaemingk's influence on my thinking in this @TheAtlantic essay on "Christian pluralism" and the dangers of theological politics: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
We are broken by and fallen from sin, which, in turn, means that politics must be acknowledged as a site of uncertainty, rather than certainty. This also entails a "suspension of judgement"

I love the whole new election analysis approach of saying that a majority of voters voted for the losing candidates, which by definition is what happens in a democracy, since it's very difficult for winners to clear the 50% threshold
In other words, it's precisely their ability to lose well that makes the losers winners, or something
It's like when Macron came first with "only" 24% in the first round of 2017 French elections, and people were like, French people don't like Macron: 76% of them voted for other candidates. Macron actually lost by 52%!

Wow. Biden is nowhere to be found. Based on what we know from other democracies, this isn't surprising. There's literally no raison d'etre to Biden's candidacy beyond returning to the very normalcy that gave us Trump in the first place
Meanwhile, James Carville was campaigning for...Michael Bennett
Who you support in this election depends on your theory of the case of why Trump became president. Is Trump an aberration, an accident of history, or is he a symptom of deep structural causes that actually have to be addressed

This @WSJ piece by @wrmead is very good and it shatters, handily, the notion that the Chinese juggernaut is immune to the obvious weaknesses of its political regime: top-heavy, personalistic authoritarianism

"The Sick Man of Asia" wsj.com/articles/china…
"A world that has grown accustomed to contemplating China’s inexorable rise was reminded that nothing, not even Beijing’s power, can be taken for granted," writes @wrmead
As I argued here, the Chinese regime is inherently illegitimate, inherently brittle, and therefore inherently unstable

Here's where Jeremy Corbyn will be this weekend. Can you guess what the politics is?
The focus is Mexico + women. But there's space for not one but two lectures by Dr Francisco Dominguez, the Marxist Madurista usually featured at Cuba/Vzla Solidarity events. One is the sole Venezuela content. And a film presentation by Pablo Navarette, TeleSUR's UK correspondent.
I see this is being referred to as a 'personal jolly'. Oh it's a bit more than that, journos.

...and I don't trust Anonymous because I used to investigate with them the OPExposeCPS and admin their Minnesota FB Page, until I discovered a couple CIA moles. I dropped some intel that they should have been doing cartwheels over that implicated the CIA. ...mostly crickets>
