QUESTION OF THE DAY.

-

 



"Please understand that I am not asking this to be a wise-ass, but as a genuine and serious question:

If Donald Trump was experiencing DXM-induced mania, how would we know?"

Thanks to Jonathon at the Bulwark.  Great question.

MUST SEE TV. NO. REALLY.

                                                                             Trailer:  "Good Lord Bird" If you have access to Showtime and you haven't checked out "Good Lord Bird," it's time to get it done.  The series is based on James McBride's novel of the same name.  Knowing it's a novel, you don't expect 100% historical accuracy, and "Good Lord Bird" definitely takes some historical liberties with John Brown's attack on the Harper's Ferry armory in 1859.  As the show opens, there's a banner that says "This is True" (or words to that effect) followed by a notice that most of it actually happened.  It helps when the film maker admits up front that it's not historically accurate. What follows is an inspired performance by Ethan Hawke as John Brown. ...

Harris on assault weapons.

                           Vice President Elect   Kamala Harris on assault weapons.   This is just a few minutes long (2;19), to be exact, and it's well worth watching.  When this clip was shot, she was still a candidate for President.   For those who like to quote the 2nd Amendment phrase "shall not be infringed," I have news for you. You cannot buy an automatic weapon.  You cannot buy a gun if you are a felon.  You cannot buy a gun if you are mentally ill.  You cannot buy explosives.  You may buy a semi automatic rifle, but you may soon have a lucrative offer to buy it back.   See the first video on this link .

Thoughts on Trump's Covid 19 Dilemma

PENSEE #10. This is not the time to pile on the President's covid 19 exposure.  "I told you so" can be both true and unhelpful at the same time.  Rather, despite my personal politics, this is the time to wish President Trump the best in his quarantine and whatever treatment he needs. If anything good can come from his exposure, I hope that his base begins to take precautions to protect themselves from the virus.  Their flagrant disregard for those precautions endangers all of us.  For the skeptics, consider what happened to a prominent Republican who attended a Trump rally.  Nobody is safe or immune from the covid 19 pandemic.  The President has been exposed, despite the best medical staff in the world.  If he can't avoid the virus, none of us can. This is a dangerous moment.   The President insisted the virus would go away . He rolled the dice and lost.  It not only didn't go away, but now he's infected. Presuming a quick and full recovery, ...
