Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
Edited to add: what the hell? " Brooklyn rappers accused of murder conspiracy join Donald Trump at Bronx rally ." Also, why on earth is Trump campaigning in New York? Why was he campaigning in New Jersey a couple weeks ago? He has no shot at winning either state, and after the defense in ...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
As one can see from clicking on the link, Donald Trump's supporters will flood the replies with videos of President Biden's gaffes in response to posts like this one from the Biden-Harris campaign. The campaign surely knows that, but presumably they're banking on replies getting less circulation tha...

David Corn writes in Mother Jones on how " RFK Jr. Is Even Crazier Than You Might Think ." Corn's piece is less about delivering new information about Kennedy as about countering a recent tendency in the mainstream media to pretend that his extreme views are merely quirks. Still, RFK is a ...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
Let me explain at more length why Donald Trump is at least pretending to be committing a very serious crime. Donald Trump is publicly saying that he and Vladimir Putin have an understanding that Putin will hold an American citizen hostage until an agreed-upon time. Just think about how this would wo...

"Under a rug in Gazan home, IDF troops found shaft leading to bodies of 4 hostages."
That happened last week, but the details are only being reported now.

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
Heather Long yesterday noted that a new Federal Reserve survey (conducted annually) that finds that 72% of Americans say they're doing OK or better -- which is down just three points from where it was for much of Donald Trump's presidencies -- but the number who say the local economy is doing well i...

At this point in Ronald Reagan's presidency, the average rate of inflation for the previous twelve months was 3.79%. At this point in Joe Biden's presidency, the average rate of inflation for the previous twelve months is 3.72%. You can do the math yourself using the numbers found here . At this poi...

Re: US Supreme Court Discussions
The South Carolina decision looks pretty bad (that's a link to a quick recap by Mark Joseph Stern). Although apparently not bad enough for Justice Thomas, who would take away courts' ability to block gerrymandering and maybe would overturn Brown v. Board of Education?

Indeed, that the flag has a "long and often respectable history" (as I wrote above) is probably the defense that Alito will make, but this is a guy who in one day sold thousands of dollars of Anheuser Busch stock and then bought Molson Coors stock -- just as conservatives were decrying Anh...
