I'm going out on a limb here...

I'm skeptical of the #HunterBidenEmails. No, I don't think Biden is an angel. To the contrary, the basic accusation that he was given a lucrative sinecure in Ukraine in a tacit exchange for influence with the America VP is almost certainly true.
"Hunter Bidens" are the predictable, unavoidable outcomes of empire. And stories like his—including his fall from grace—have reoccured over and over since Babylon. Child of privilege gets cushy job in exchange for influence + too much money and debauchery = scandale du jour.
The main source of my skepticism about the emails is that the acquisition of these things seems sketchy as hell. A computer repairman took them off Biden's laptop (likely illegally), when it was in for repair. He then contacted Rudy! It's nuts.

Perhaps the emails will prove to be genuine, and the backstory will remain a curiosity. But I'm thinking there's a chance this will all blow up in Trump's face. And the genuine scandal will get lost in the mess.

Again, going out on a limb here. Just my gut feeling.

I have, rather reluctantly, come to the conclusion that a) some kind of "herd immunity" to #COVID19 is inevitable and b) knowing this, bringing about this outcome in a reasonable fashion is the best policy.
Last spring, we were dealing with two problems in addressing #COVID19 in a rational manner:

a) ignorance about its nature and effects (it was a novel virus, after all);

b) rank denial, wishful thinking, and delusion on the part of Americans, particularly Republicans.
We should remember how far we've come. Last spring, if anyone suggested 200,000 deaths, he'd be laughed off as a doomsayer indulging in "apocalypse porn." Today, 300,000 deaths by next summer seems baked into the cake.

It's a complicated story. The key thing is that Trump goes hunting where the ducks are. Before Trump, Steve Bannon and others recognized immigration as an extremely hot, though often avoided, issue that viscerally activated much of the GOP base.
It's possible that if Trump had launched his campaign a day earlier or a day later than June 16, 2015, he might have focused on something else. But he defined himself with that "not sending their best" line.
In 2015 and half of 2016, Trump absolutely engaged in outreach to the Alt-Right writ large, as did outlets like Breitbart by mid-2016. This allowed Trump to do an end run around the establishment—and, ironically, his future base, the Religious Right, which then backed Cruz.

My comments on @Indian_Bronson's and @eurog3nic's threads have elicited attacks from many sides. So let me explain my position.
I think the working class is treated disgracefully in America, and that goes for all races. The deaths of despair, bankruptcies through medical bills, and more are all expressions of this—or, more precisely, they're symptoms of deeper problems.
So, unlike people who could properly be termed "racist conservatives"—those who fear the very thought of a non-White somewhere getting another "handout"—I support a European-style administrative state. Period.

The right *is* willing to be hardass, though. I see some of that desperate ruthlessness on display in their defending Trump right now and accusing the Deep State of a “color revolution,” etc.
The point is that it’s a “war to nowhere.” Even if the Right openly suspended the Constitution to keep Trump in office, what would they do with all that power?
The Right is good at freaking out at advancing leftists who “hate America” or “Western values” or some such—at understanding every election as a “Flight 93” crisis.

This gem of a video is a full expression of the *backwards* way of thinking that infects all philosophy derived from Plato, including "rational Christians" (like William Lane Craig), who give life to the maxim that Christianity is "Plato for the people."

No, don't worry, I'm not going to engage in one of those "atheist" debates, in which I "own Christians with facts and logic." Those debates amount to two liberals arguing with each other over who's more liberal. To the contrary, it is logic that needs to be owned!
According to Craig, we should be in awe of the fact that "pure mathematics"—which, apparently, originated and exists in the netherworld of forms—just so happens to align with the real world. This must be God's work!
