I do not understand the Republican hatred of Zelensky.

He is the Churchill of our times. He has worked tirelessly for the freedom of his people.

He is everything they claim to want in a leader....yet they hate him.

I don't get it.

(Actually I do know why.....)
**whisper**

Republicans hate Zelensky because Russia has done such a good job infiltrating Conservative media with propaganda and pro-Russian talking points.

They hate Zelensky because Putin wants them to.

If Biden is going to insist on staying in this race, then he needs to change things up.

Here are a few simple things Biden can do to turn things around.
1. Biden needs to go into the press briefing room and answer their questions live on camera 2-3 times a week.

If you want people to believe you are mentally competent to do the job, then walk down the hall and show them.
2. Get your most effective spokespeople on every kind of media. Get AOC on every podcast.

Put Kamala and Schiff and Fetterman on all the Sunday shows every freaking week.

And put Buttigieg on Fox News every night. Every. Single. Night.

Let's talk about what a second Trump admin will look like. In particular, let's focus on the regulatory environment.

This will be the most impactful change Trump will make but it will also be the hardest to see.
Trump has already promised that, as President, he will fire thousands of career public servants and replace them with cronies.

Of all the things Trump is proposing, this is the most scary because the implications are so big. Especially now that he has "immunity".
This means every manager in the IRS, the FBI, FCC, etc will be led by an unqualified crony whose only loyalty is to Trump and whose only goal is to make Trump happy.

This creates an insane perverse incentive to turn every agency into an enforcer of Trump's every whim.

Alright, let's talk about the Republican Outrage de Jour

The Value of Mar A Lago

Republicans are furious that a judge, who found Trump guilty of rampant fraud, stated that Mar A Lago is only worth $18M when Trump actually thinks it is worth hundreds of millions.

But....
If you actually read the judges ruling there are two key points the Trumpists are conveniently skipping:

1. The value of Mar A Lago was set by the County tax assessor, not the judge

2. The assessed value of the Mar A Lago was based on certain restrictions.

Understanding the restrictions is the key.

When Trump bought Mar A Lago, he agreed to maintain the existing building and keep it as a commercial club.

These restrictions severally limited what Trump could do with the property and forced him to assume massive maintenance costs

Time for an honest assessment of Ron DeSantis

On paper, he is the perfect Republican candidate. Young. Veteran. Ivy League pedigree. Former Congressman. Governor of a swing state he turned solid red.

He should be a no brainer for the GOP. So why is he struggling?

Some ideas:
1. The guy is just awkward.

The delivery of his speeches is best described as a whiny staccato. And his retail politics are somehow even worse. He is just not good at the one-on-one interactions that win you donors, help you in media interviews and ultimately persuade voters.
2. His comms team is terrible

His strategy has clearly been to stay above the fray and avoid criticizing Trump as much as possible and let his army of very-online trolls attack Trump and his supporters.

The problem is, they aren't any good at it.

I know the cool kids believe in the lab leak theory but the evidence still says it was the wet market

1) Almost ALL of the early cases were centered around the wet market

2) We have now found the genetic link to covid in animals in the wet market
theatlantic.com/science/archiv…
The fact that all of the early cases of Covid were centered around the Wet Market should have been evidence enough.

But now that we have actually found the genetic link between Covid and animals in the market at that time?

Case closed.
Imagine you are pulling clothes out of the dryer and you start to see some ink spots. Then you pull out a pair of jeans COVERED in them.

Then you find a pen inside the pocket of those jeans that is the same color of ink.

Would anyone question that ink came from that pen?

Alright, time for me to post something controversial, y'all. Set your hackles to raised.

Ahem....I don't actually think university and corporate diversity, equity and inclusion offices do much good and I have no real problem if the organization chooses to get rid of them.
To be clear, I absolutely support diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. I think every organization benefits from a more diverse workforce, and studies show this is true.

I just think DEI offices are an expensive, ineffective way to get there.
I think we would benefit more from well funded, national think tanks and non profits that study DEI issues and provide recommendations that can be implemented by organization leadership, managers and HR departments.
