1. Before Trump goes off on the price of Fruit Loops, one thing about today's inflation debate that is driving this boomer crazy

If you're under 45, say, you never really experienced serious inflation in your life before 2022. Now they really think prices are supposed to go...
2. ...down to what they were three years ago. THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORKS! If it did, the subway would be 35 cents like the first time I took it to a Mets game in 1972. Hopefully your wages, etc., catch up to the new higher price
3. I think the media's really dropped the ball on realizing most Americans don't understand inflation and have done nothing to tamp down absurd expectations that your burrito is going back to $6 or whatever

Just had to get that off my chest -30-

1. The hot mess that was the political media in 2016 continues to slime America 8 years later

In 2016, there was no reasoned debate about the ethics of publishing Russian-hacked documents. Not that it's not a tough call, morally -- but the debate wasn't even held. The documents
2. ...were just published without any thought. Only after the election did anyone wonder so much regard was given to the (mostly inconsequential) leaks and so little to shockingly illegal methods to obtain them. So now..
3. ...I'd agree Politico and other news media are technically correct to consider the source and the motive before deciding whether or what to publish.

The problem is this:

1. I wrote this morning in my column I was an 'agnostic' about Biden dropping out. I said wait for the polls! But then the more (white male, mostly) pundits commanded Biden out, the more I was against it. This NYT editorial is the last straw nytimes.com/2024/06/28/opi…
2. Everything here is a bad look. The "liberal" dudebro groupthink. Journalists carrying more about a trophy than the nation. The naivety of thinking it's easy to replace Biden, and callousness about what's next. The pretending Kamala Harris doesn't exist
3. It's striking to me that - while they share the same qualms about Biden's performance - almost no Black, Brown or women writers have urged him to get out. Maybe because it's their lives are on the line here (Tom Friedman, not so much) and they know we need to get this right

1. With Trump making the rather bizarre choice to rally tonight at Temple U. in North Philly - on a liberal campus in a 90%-Biden district, with seemingly light outreach to his suburban base, I keep coming back to something that happened in March 2016
2. Then, Trump made the similarly bizarre move to stage a rally at an urban campus in Chicago. The event was flooded with protesters inside and out. An hour before the rally was supposed to start, Trump cancelled it for "safety" reasons politico.com/magazine/story…
3. Of course, the ensuing controversy became something of a rallying cry in Fox News world, that the real thugs aren't the people who attend Trump rallies but these intolerant leftists who refused to let him speak in the "hellhole" of Chicago

1. Anyone who thinks that Biden could just drop out and the Dems would pick the perfect replacement at a 4-day lovefest in Chicago is utterly delusional

For all his flaws, it wasn't an accident that Biden a) won the 2020 nomination and b) defeated Trump, which Hillary could not
2. After SC showed his support from middle-class Black voters made him unbeatable, he moved left, brought in Bernie and Liz, and built a fragile coalition of everybody who opposed Trump that held together
3. An open 2024 open convention would reopen the Bernie-Hillary divide in the party with nuclear force. Gaza, Medicare4All, fossil fuels would rip the Dems apart just like Vietnam did in 1968 (in Chicago, no less)

Trump just visited the gun company (Palmetto State Armory) that supplied August's racist Jacksonville mass murderer of 3 Black people at a Dollar General store with the gun he painted a swastika on wistv.com/2023/08/29/lea…
Ryan Palmeter, the racist Jacksonville gunman, was able to buy an AR-15 style rifle at the Palmetto State Armory despite his past mental health problems. Its model as billed as “our interpretation of the legendary AR-15 rifle that you have grown to love” the-independent.com/news/world/ame…
It was falsely reported earlier today that Trump had purchased a Glock at the Palmetto State Armory. Facing multiple felony charges, the ex-president would not have passed a background check. But it could sell an AR-15 to a young, mentally troubled white supremacist
