Harris shouldn’t talk to the press. That’s our fault.

Hello and happy Thursday. There are 81 days until the election, and today we are talking about stayin’ alive — for the Harris campaign, the Trump whatever-it-is and for us voters who have 11-plus weeks to go.

And for democracy. Don’t forget democracy!

First, I know you’ve seen the AI-generated video of Donald Trump and Elon Musk dancing to the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive.” Trump also posted it on his Truth Social, where truth goes to die.

This bromance is hard to watch. Musk’s power and privilege seem to be veering him into Howard Hughes-weird territory, where his crazy theories are matched only by his unique ability to foist them on the rest of us. And Trump will love anyone who loves him — or who has a lot of money. Sad.

Put the two together (as they were for two-plus hours this week during a platform-formerly-known-as-Twitter conversation with 1 million people listening) and you have something more than unfortunate or strange.

You have something dangerous — two of the most influential men in the world undermining democracy with lies.

There are no consequences for Musk, and few for Trump. This election is a broken info-pipe of raw sewage spewing in every direction, and these guys are boogieing down in the muck.

Which brings me to the news media, and Kamala Harris doing her own dance around its questions.

Because free speech undermines "democracy," don't you know?

[cgbg]

“Lies” is whatever the mass media liars say it is.

Lol.

[jacknhoo]

Appears the President Trump and Elon Musk conversation has the fascists on the defensive.

[BenLurkin]

And this entire incredibly slanted screed is labeled as Politics by the LAT and not Opinion

[PGalt]

LIES - the WEAPON used most often by the criminal.

[sjmjax]

These people are seriously messed up!
An involuntary psychiatric intervention may be appropriate.

[virgil]

They are very upset about the Musk/Trump interview. They are very busy to exhaustion copying and pasting their own version of one like it.

[Telepathic Intruder]

I assume Joe is going to give Kamala his basement as well as his campaign funds.

[Ciaphas Cain]

I actually read this entire article and that's eight minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

These people really do believe that they are better than the rest of us. That we can't survive without them. No wonder Trump and Musk make them uncomfortable.

[nhbob1]

They are Satan’s tools

[reasonisfaith]

These people don’t recognize that truth is separate and independent of their subjective desire.

Thanks Anita, I hadn’t seen the dancing video. Lol

Whenever I hear “we have 100 days to save our democracy,
It is usually a liberal.

We say, save our country or MAGA

[VTenigma]

If the Marxist idiot can’t handle the press she’s certainly not of presidential caliber.

[joshua c]

collectivist “journalists” are collectivist first

“ Lies” is whatever the mass media liars say it is.”

Fixed it for you. You’re welcome.
