Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
So what's going on here?
If that's meant to be a dramatic pause, it goes on for an awfully long time.

Iran's president, Ebrahim Raisi, is presumed dead , along with the nation's foreign minister, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, and seven others in a helicopter crash earlier today. It took many hours for rescuers to find the crash site, but per CNN, Iran's state media is now showing drone footage that sugg...

The New York Post reports that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has voted in New York for years based on a Westchester residence he owns but where he seems not to actually reside. And apparently he also said on a podcast that he lives in Los Angeles. Edited to add this question : has RFK been lying on his ball...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
Here's some interesting early 1980s commentary I've never read before from the far-left poet Amiri Baraka (1934-2014) about the importance of political incrementalism. Although Baraka was staunchly anti-capitalist, he warned against commentary he'd heard from others on the left about the last presid...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
Possibly I've mentioned before a discussion among the students of my high school government class when I was a senior in 1989-1990. The teacher had to step out of the room for a few minutes, and somehow the class got talking about the subject of interracial marriage, and it was clear that half the c...

"The party was hosted by Caroline Wren, an adviser to Arizona U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake."
Wren has been mentioned here before, most recently because she was being sued for defamation by the man who was groped by Matt Schlapp.

And speaking of Donald Trump's lies about Minnesota: Donald Trump lost Minnesota by seven points to Joe Biden in 2020, but at a Minnesota campaign rally tonight, Trump claimed that he won that state. Earlier today, Donald Trump told a local Minnesota TV station that he never said in 2020 that he wou...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
Trump also said of President Biden: "I just want to debate this guy, but, you know. And I'm going to demand a drug test."
At this point, I'm pretty sure that if Biden demanded the same of Trump, Trump would withdraw, because he'd either fail the test or fall asleep during the debate.

The Dow did not remain above 40,000 today and in fact closed slightly down (-0.097%) from yesterday, but the Biden campaign still seized the moment. And there it is! Today the Dow Jones closed above 40,000. That's never happened before. And as noted above, Donald Trump said in 2020 that if Joe Bide...
