2) Something is going on. Consider
*DemoKKKrat FBI/DOINjustice are arresting and investigating NYC officials and NY state gubment.
2) contd
*The SEC, which had badgered crypto, suddenly makes a public apology to crypto
*DemoKKrats arrest P. Diddley (D)
*DoINJustice ceases prosecuting any other J6ers.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than govern to help the American people.
Infrastructure Investments

Republicans: "ITS POLITICAL!"

Protections for Unions

Republicans: "ITS POLITICAL!"

Student Loan forgiveness

Republicans: "ITS POLITICAL!"

Interest rate cuts

Republicans: "ITS POLITICAL!"

They are so averse to good governance anything done to help Americans is derided as political.
My favorite canard today is Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chief appointed by Trump, cut the interest rate to *checks notes* screw Trump.

โ€œWithout more public or private investment, itโ€™s unclear how research can proceed. The small corner of the private sector that has endeavored to take on #LongCovid is slowly becoming a graveyard.โ€ Screenshot of the article headline in C&EN reading โ€œR&D for long Covid is collapsing. Public and private funding is lacking, scrambling opportunities to develop treatments.โ€   Date: September 18, 2024
โ€œAt least 4 companies that were developing LC treatments have shut down because of.. lack of finances. Others are evaluating a shift away from #LongCovid.โ€

โ€œLevy says the company tried to communicate with NIH RECOVER multiple times but never heard backโ€ cen.acs.org/pharmaceuticalโ€ฆ
โ€œWhat I know is that nobody wants to hear about COVID. When you say the name COVID, itโ€™s bad . . ., but #LongCovid is not going anywhere, because COVID-19 is endemic. It will stay. At some point, everyone will realize that we have to do more for it.โ€

Blood and Soil
ย 
The Right is committed to preserving America as a white Christian homeland. They are determined to purge the nation and radically redraw the boundaries of the body politic.

Inciting a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio is part of that project.

New piece (link in bio): Screenshot of my latest โ€œDemocracy Americanaโ€ newsletter: โ€œBlood and Soil: The Right is committed to preserving America as a white Christian homeland. They are determined to purge the nation and radically redraw the boundaries of the body politicโ€
I wrote about the Rightโ€™s defining political project: A blood-and-soil nationalism that is fundamentally incompatible with multiracial, pluralistic democracy. It has come to dominate the Republican Party, and the elevation of J.D. Vance captures this perfectly.
There is a direct line from J.D. Vanceโ€™s โ€œhomelandโ€ speech at the Republican Convention โ€“ an open embrace of blood-and-soil nationalism โ€“ to what is happening in Springfield, Ohio, where Trump and Vance are trying to incite a pogrom.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY?

One thing is very clear. The accusation that a person or political party is a โ€œThreat to Democracyโ€ seems to be used everywhere,
1)
as if there is one Hollywood script read by and repeated all over the world by the โ€œLeftโ€ and its allied media, though anyone can see that it is the โ€œleftโ€. That has advocated censorship, banning opposition media,
2)
and using the courts to make free and honest elections doubtful, in short what those who want to end democracy actually do.

WHY?

BECAUSE ON EVERY ISSUE, OTHER THAN ABORTION, TRUMP IS FAR AHEAD
1)
BUT, THE VOTE OVERALL, THEY CLAIM, IS TIED WITH KAMALA a bit ahead. Actually, Kamala is ahead the same amount that Hillary was ahead in 2016.

The question I have is this: Who is paying for this poll? How is the poll done? How were the questions asked?
2)
And are polls more about influencing voters than expressing voter opinion?

Of course, the Democrats keep saying people like Kamala's plans, but no one really knows what they are.
