Biden will be the Democratic nominee.
Trump will be the Republican nominee.

The only candidate who will be on the ballot with both of them in all 50 states is going to be the Libertarian nominee.

Only game left in town.

Most Americans will not tune in to the Presidential election until after the Democratic and Republican nominees are chosen, even though the smart money already knows who they are.

High information voters don't matter much in Presidential politics.

It's too early for low information voters to care.

Apathy is the true enemy.

@jeff That sounds like a very good idea, we want people to read and share our stuff even if they don't want to share contact information.

Question for my friends and followers:
My father used to do an email newsletter for our car dealership. He's not able to do that anymore, so I'll be restarting it soon.
What would you want to receive as email newsletter content?
Car maintenance articles and tips?
Advance notice of new inventory and/or special pricing?
Something else?

@fakertarians He's an odd duck.

Hospitality, being kind to those you may not love, is an excellent social tradition that has spawned all over the world, but no place more so than the Levant.

We should all be good to those who are travelers and sojourners.

The kindness of strangers is beautiful.

A morning spent on the phone with insurance adjusters and body shops and towing companies was not planned.

Ford Thunderbirds, poker games, Nikki Haley, the Libertarian Party, and where the anti-Trump, socially liberal and fiscally conservative voters land.
Share it widely.

@fu What about them?

A good rule for life is not to accept labels for other people that those people would not claim for themselves.

If you have a publicist, at what point did you decide you needed one and when would you suggest someone else get one?

meanwhile re-watching the award winning #Navalny documentary when he was asked what his message would if he actually gets killed...

Recommended watch:

this is what he said in English:
"My message for the situation when i am killed is very simple. Not give up." the he carries on in Russian - next post:

If you think Putin should win the war he started against Ukraine, committing multiple war crimes and murdering two political opponents along the way, then we probably don't share enough values to have a lot of common ground.

I don't have a lot to talk about with pro-dictator folks.

A dictator who has repeatedly murdered political opponents and engaged in multiple illegal military invasions of other countries to annex territory is someone that all good people should oppose.

Nice people should avoid anyone who supports that dictator, for obvious reasons.

For those who are up early, I'll be on Morning Joe tomorrow morning sometime after 6:40 am to talk about the national debt.

RFK Jr. has a good name and decent rhetorical skills.

He grabs whatever issues are going to bring in donations this week, having bounced around quite a bit.

Nader was a true believer, Kennedy appears to be a gun for hire.
