  2. Also, I’ve said this before but I’ll keep saying it: if you don’t follow you should. He’s ruthless. And he’s fair. And he’s a great reporter. And he continues to really expose everything

  3. "Kamala Harris doesn’t have a Bernie Sanders problem. The so-called “Sanders Left” has a black-woman problem. In fact, the entire left has a black-woman problem." This article goes back a year and half before she announced she was running for President.

    Addendum: the extremely obvious early target of this kind of story is going to be the DNC primary. Expect a wave of Republican "support" for the plight of Bernie Sanders and DNC "rigging" the primary against him

  5. 10. Anyway, there you have it: watch for a growing wave of stories from the RW swamp that Dems are cheating. It will rise to a crescendo as the election approaches. Dems will be caught flat-footed, the media will fall for it, & it'll probably work. Sigh. </fin>

  6. 9. This election has existential stakes for the current configuration of conservatism. Their demographic is shrinking & their hold on power requires increasingly anti-democratic measures. They will do *anything* to win this one -- more than Dems are prepared for, I suspect.

  7. 5. And more importantly, putting accusations in the air early means that when their own cheating & fraud are pointed out, the media will cover it as a "both sides are accusing each other of cheating, isn't partisanship terrible" story.

  8. 3. Put 1 & 2 together & you get my prediction: starting pretty soon, conservatives are going to start accusing Dems of cheating & election fraud. They might find some half- or quasi-truth to hang it on, but that's not necessary. The bubble can just invent stuff these days.

  9. 1. This is an obvious prediction, but I want to get it on record. The GOP just released Trump from any accountability for trying to cheat in the upcoming election. That's one sign of many that they are going to try to rig the election, in a range of illegal & semi-legal ways.

  10. 2. Now, what do we know about the reactionary mind? When it is contemplating or planning some offense, it must convince itself that its opponents are *already doing* whatever the offense is -- so that it has "no choice" but to do it to. Projection. Predictable as clockwork.

  11. I watched The Circle on netflix, and I was mostly struck by how one of the contestants wanted to win so he could pay to get his mom's teeth fixed, and that was treated as heartwarming rather than dystopian.

  13. I love how Mike Pompeo tried to humiliate an NPR reporter by asking her to identify Ukraine on a map; she did; he lied about it; and then a few days later his boss couldn’t even correctly identify which state a major American city was in.

  14. I'll support and work for any Democrat who wins the nomination, but I'm pulling for Elizabeth Warren. I'd love to see her open a large can of whup-ass on Trump in the debates.

  16. 1) The crazy thing is yes, you saw the halftime show and think "relentless sexual power", but much like a comedian who no longer laughs at jokes, having seen train for last year's show I now just see "mind-boggling athleticism".

  20. Face masks go mainstream in the 2020s. 1) Starts as protection against infection, pollution 2) Then privacy, to defeat face recognition 3) Then people realize: less time on makeup, hair 4) Eventually, standard piece of clothing. Both privacy and hygiene.

  21. I just remembered that the First Season of Friday night Lights featured a dark skinned character named “Voodoo” who was physically talented but arrogant and mean so the QB1 role was given back to the good ol white boy who had more heart and loved his Grandma
