Do you have any proof of this? Who is in the "corrupt political system"? Can you quote their endorsement?

Everyone that he disagrees with is corrupt and evil. It's the MAGA model.

Fun coda to the DNC: Fox declined to carry speeches by the Rs.

I don't think I've ever used "coda" in a sentence.


noun
co·​da ˈkō-də

: a concluding musical section that is formally distinct from the main structure

: a concluding part of a literary or dramatic work

: something that serves to round out, conclude, or summarize and usually has its own interest

Etymology
Italian, literally, tail, from Latin cauda

Of course, I'm familiar with the end of the spinal cord, the cauda equina, but the change in spelling to "coda" throws me off

cauda equina: distal to this end of the spinal cord is a collection of nerve roots, which are horsetail-like in appearance and hence called the cauda equina (Latin for horse's tail).

Harris and Walz to sit for CNN interview

Thursday, 9 eastern

I don't get the reason for having Walz there too, unless it's to "introduce" him to the nation, some more.

Of course, the pressure to come up with actual, plausible answers, as opposed to being allowed to lie, filibuster, and prevaricate your way through the entire interview without being fact checked or challenged, does raise the stakes.

i think that’s exactly it with Walz

Good idea.

I think it’s to serious-i-fy him. To shore up his policy and governing bona fides.

Which is probably smart, and needed, in any case.

But especially the case where you might soon be opening a full line of attack on Trump’s infirmity and Vance’s manifest unfitness to govern.

You might only have Vance’s weirdness and misogyny around for so much longer, after all.

Right now, the headline on CNN's cover page is:

Trump's new indictment rocks the reshaped race

And then the caption below the image of Trump reads:

The return of Trump's legal quagmire to center stage presents new challenges for Harris

Jesus tittyfucking Christ, this is dumber than parody.

A fifth grand jury finds probable cause that Trump committed multiple gravely-serious felonies!; here's why that's bad news for Harris

We have a case of journalistic malpractice in the US currently. Listen to Keith Olberman from last Thursday about “fact checking”. His thesis (and I agree with him) is that the collective “media” doesn’t know how to cover modern politics where candidates are no longer playing by their rules for “access”. Bothsiderism has reached 14 on the 10-point Illy-meter.

CNN is seeking the middle of the Overton Window, which CNN has contributed to being moved to somewhere right-of-Reagan.

the abby phillips hour is the best hour on cable news tv.

Get all the questions about either of them out there and answered in one shot and be done with it.

I hadn't thought of that, good point.

Because you know Dana Bass will be all over any possible fissures, as she should...
