@Lazarou Fascists are always surprised when other fascists turn on them. It’s part of what makes them so stupid.
Finally getting around to reading this through and all I can say is holy crap. He’s got the story and it’s all there in well-sourced detail. And it makes you realize how ridiculously complicated it is and how, unfortunately, there may not be a simpler way to explain it than in book-length formats. Which of course works in the crooks’ favor.
I knew most of the players and lots of the detail, but seeing it like this … 😬
1/ The reason to watch today’s NABJ interview with Trump is to observe how good he is at co-opting people. Out of the gate, he chose an enemy and attacked her. And he observed that the panel and the audience did not come to her defense. He noted that such inaction makes people feel they’ve condoned it. Watch how in the 37 minutes he returns to the attack a number of other times. Each time, he’s making the point that you didn’t help her, and that means you’re not going to help her this time.
Biden endorsing Harris without waiting for the establishment to screw things up further has cut the Gordian Knot of American politics.
@LilahTovMoon @can @chrisgeidner It seems like if they granted this, it would invalidate group purchasing efforts of all kinds. And how would you enforce it?
I’ve been joking for years based on the “deplatforming” crowd that they’d eventually demand that content be “allocated” somehow. It’s amazing to see a corporation actually doing that, especially one led by a supposed “free speech absolutist.”
That said, he probably has no illusion about winning. It’s probably just harassment.
The rest of the establishment was hemming and hawing and talking about an open convention.
Instead, Biden endorsed Harris in the same breath as announcing he was withdrawing. And he did it not out of spite, but because he clearly believes in her. He made this happen.
This could well turn out to be one of the most consequential actions in modern history. And whatever else his flaws, there are too damned few people who can see past their egos for the greater good. That’s why I’ll applaud him.

No candidate is ever going to be perfect. You have to vote your conscience, of course, but you’re going to have to hold your nose somewhere.

Project 2025 was so extreme that Donald Trump is trying to run away from it now.
Dr. Frankenstein, your monster is here to see you. Good luck.
"the panel that performs due diligence for the Saudi fund concluded Kushner’s firm was a joke—that management was “inexperience[d],” that the kingdom would be responsible for “the bulk of the investment and risk,” that its fees were “excessive,” and that the firm’s operations were “unsatisfactory in all aspects.” The panel warned that the country shouldn’t give the former first son-in-law a dime."

Jan. 21, 2025, should be National Joe Biden Day.
America coming together in a shocking display of unity to defeat right-wing extremism the way #France just did?
I am totally here for that.
@WarnerCrocker Trial balloon went over like a lead cybertruck.
Top goal right now: Stopping the Grand Old Project 2025 and defeating the Trump/Vance Creepy Weirdo Campaign. Constantly working to be a better ally.#blacklivesmatter #lgbtqrightsarehumanrights he/him/hisI use the word “fascist” generically since I don’t care what fascists nominally call themselves.
