Oh man. Can Trump bitch out not once but TWICE on the same debate? Dude is moving toward Zero Kelvin on the scale of absolute cuckhood. Does Kamala have to put the dog collar back on him? Image
I’m not sure he realizes yet that there’s no more stay tuned. No one’s going to beg him to debate. I suspect the Harris campaign is happy to see him humiliate himself again. People still haven’t figured how key Trumps immediate decision to pull out of the debate played a big role in her original momentum. He showed her was scared. And everyone took note.

The basic concept is simple. In an extraordinrary crisis the VP is the logical and expected person to take over from the President. That's literally what they're there for. The constitution obvs doesn't speak to the succession of a nomination. But the principle is deeply ...
2/ embedded in American political culture, at least as the default assumption. What happened after the late June debate was just such an extraordinary crisis for the Democratic political coalition, one in which no legitimate recanvassing of the primary process could take...
3/ place. So when Biden stepped aside Harris was the logical, expected and basically inevitable replacement. that reality was rapidly confirmed by a vast cross section of Democratic activists, voters, small donors, and elected officials. Biden added his own legitimacy and ...

The Palestine issue that roiled in the background of the DNC but never broke out on the floor in many ways was centered in Michigan. And this weekend it will go another round because Mich state Democrats are holding their party convention which will reprise the whole ...
2/ topic again. Delegates will decide who to nominate for two slots on the U Michigan board of regents. These are statewide elected offices. And of course the state university system was at the center of the protests earlier this year, specifically on the demand that the ...
3/ state university system divest from any holdings tied to Israel. During the protests and encampment, protesters actually went to the homes of a number of elected members of the board if I remember in the middle of the night and did basically low level vandalism, signs etc.

Trump just announced a Tuesday "crime and safety" rally in a Michigan town that has been heavily associated with the KKK for decades (Howell, Michigan). Just last month White Supremacists marched through town chanting ‘We love Hitler. We love Trump.’

The Times ran an oped by Matthew Schmitz last week that defended JD Vance and placed him more generally among a group of neo-traditionalist Catholic ideologues. It's an interesting cleansing of certain strains currently in American political culture. Schmitz and often Times ...
2/ columnist Ross Douthat often presents this as simply Catholic social doctrine and in fact a vision of neo-traditionalism which holds a large space for the economic well-being of families, even making room for unions. This was basically Schmitz argument.
3/ This is at best a highly sanitized explanation of their thought, and one I was surprised the Times was willing to play along w in a fairly deceptive way. The neo-integralism these folks advocate has very specific roots in the early 20th century, especially among ...

Elon now literally supplying arms and materiel to Russia
of course given what a ridiculous vehicle this is perhaps it's a secret attempt to help Ukraine. But people forget (apparently including some folks at the Pentagon) that high level executives, let alone owners of major defense contractors actually have to work within ...
3/ fairly serious constraints tied to required security clearances, status as major arms contractors. Taken together most of those boil down to not being traitors or major intelligence risks or just in general working for or assisting adversary states. It's become a bit ...

I've explained this before. But in addition to a lot of frivolous and biased journalism the real root of a lot of what you see in the elite press isn't bias precisely. Certainly it's not that the reporters are right wingers or Trumpers. It's something different but insidious.
2/ Precisely because the bulk of elite reporters and editors come from the same social and cultural world as Democrats they tend to view and report on Republican policies and campaigns as something like the weather. You can give people heads ups about Hurricanes and tornados ...
3/ so forth but you don't spend much time explaining that it's pretty mean for the air to create an cyclonic vortex which breaks peoples houses or major oceanic storms that cause billions of dollars of damage and drive people from their homes. It's the weather. It is ...
