~No, I'm not going to analyse the alleged "nominee"'s speech. This précis of what's going on is hard to beat:
Kamala got zero votes, has given zero press conferences, has given zero interviews, and had to stage buying a bag of Doritos. This is the most ridiculous, anti-democratic, laughable joke I've ever seen in politics.
If you treat this as "politics", you're part of the problem. And, given that American elections have degraded to the point where the opposition candidate is now being indicted, convicted and shot at, I find myself more interested in the disturbing abandonment by key US institutions of all remaining norms. For example:
As longtime readers and listeners and viewers well know, I never utter the words "Department of Justice" without prefacing it with the adjectives "dirty stinkin' rotten corrupt". If I were running for president, my platform would include a pledge to break it up: as currently constituted, its tentacles include the FBI (currently "investigating" the Trump near-assassination - yeah, sure) and the Bureau of Prisons (the fellows charged with ensuring that the security cameras aren't working and the guards are asleep when high-value prisoners get the urge to turn suicidal).
But what they call "Main Justice" is the core racket. As my friend Conrad Black, one of its victims, put it over a decade ago:
Those who do exercise their constitutional right to a defense receive three times as severe a sentence as those who plead guilty; 95 percent of cases are won by prosecutors, 90 percent of those without trial.
Those last two numbers have ticked up even higher in the years since, but that first one is important too: if you insist on your "constitutional" (ha!)...

Free the J6 freedom fighters NOW! The DOJ persecution of them is a travesty of justice. I hope Trump wreaks vengeance on the alphabet agencies.
So much corruption...so little time.
Awesome piece.
Very hard to understand what really happened to Mike Lynch and his business partner. Seems like a one-in-a-trillion shot.
Quite a coincidence.
That was sure a draining story that leaves one empty. I miss those days of Mark subbing for Rush.
Wow. Lynch and his co-defendant. Both dead within a day of each other. Sounds like the whole thing was a hit job.
The other yacht in the area was unscathed.
Evil people are about.

If everything is so darned good, she shouldn’t need a plan. She should be able to tell everyone she’s going to keep on doing what Biden was doing. No course corrections needed. Everything is fine!
The finest “Sinister Foreign Guest Host” in all the land, IMO.
If I were Gary Lindberg Esq. I would be watching my back.
yup
In the end, there will be as many living J6 hostages as there are Hamas hostages.
The world is in as dark a place as election night, 2020 should have told us.
Kamala got zero votes, has given zero press conferences, has given zero interviews, and had to stage buying a bag of Doritos. This is the most ridiculous, anti-democratic, laughable joke I've ever seen in politics.
The fact that she is polling at even 10% is disturbing.
lost in the mix here is the fact the company was originally focused
on cutting edge fingerprint matching and analysis. they had also
bought many semi-related companies over the years before HP stepped
up to buy them in 2011... a year before HP cratered it.
the number of coincidences coming together is hard to miss...
tho i don’t see how the events could be more than natural
(without the Just-Us dept practicing in the dark arts)
