A nice synopsis of the quality of political discussion in these United States right now.
-
Regarding a republican primary contest. Sure, the poll may have issues, but this is making an impression in the repub political world. This is a small sidebar in the greater picture, but is nonetheless important imho, because it represents the first clear evidence of being anti-Mitch rather than anti-establishment/Dem etc as a winning strategy. Remember the tea party. The dems could do well to take note, given how clearly the repubs have portrayed Pelosi.
-
So, something repub related gets posted on social media land and when one searches for the source they are taken to a repub leaning site that reports factually on the contents of the social thing. If it's not on which approved sites it's not real?!? I really do hope that this is not your only escape from the echo chamber.

Gunning for poor old Mitch. About time. "Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R), who is vying to replace outgoing Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO), holds a substantial lead among his primary challengers — a lead which increases when voters are told of his vow to vote against reelecting Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as Republican leader, a Fabrizio Lee & Associates survey released this week found." https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/10/13/senate-hopeful-eric-greitens-leads-gop-primary-by-double-digits-gains-support-with-anti-mcconnell-stance/

A clearly relevant article, maybe, yeehaw! 'Most Dangerous' Sex Position That Could Leave Penis 'Looking Like Aubergine' Revealed by Doctor" "If there is any erratic thrusting or if the movements of the two parties are not in sync, it could lead to the male jabberwocky slipping out and be crushed by the female pubic bone," he said, pointing out that penises can break despite being boneless." https://sputniknews.com/20211007/most-dangerous-sex-position-that-could-leave-penis-looking-like-aubergine-revealed-by-doctor-1089748215.html

Covid is finally an interpretive art.

Succinct.

You are very welcome. Any thoughts on how these negotiations are going? That would be the one that blew up this afternoon after Biden got involved and resulted in no change to anyone's position and all sorts of interesting tidbits leaking from the Dem meeting this afternoon,.
-
No government shutdown with the Senate behaving like adults for once. The debt ceiling game continues and so does the Dem infighting, with Nancy holding the neo-lib line. So much positioning for the midterms happening right now, with arguments both for and against a failure to pass the human infrastructure bill being a benefit for the Dems.
-
Poor old Joe and his plans for the "people". Lots of posturing regarding the human infrastructure bill and of course plenty of mouthing to the nearest microphone, at least from the congressional critters. Joe is somewhat awol as per usual. ""The only way the vote happens (Thursday) is if we have the votes to pass the bill," Representative Dan Kildee, House Democrats' chief deputy whip, told reporters." https://www.reuters.com/world/us/clock-ticking-us-congress-friday-government-shutdown-looms-2021-09-29/

I was responding with dismay to posts mentioning trust and belief in science. Trust & belief have nothing to do with scientific investigation and are concepts more akin to those associated with various religious groups and political charlatans, hence, ye gods! The alternative to trust and belief (not science) is the actual scientific process. I am mystified as to how this can be so construed.
-
Soon to be forgotten, only "bad" people do "bad" things.
-
Education, observational evidence and a theoretical model based on known physics would be a good start.
-
One of the most poisonous ideas to come from the covid crisis. Trust the science, believe the science.... ye gods!

Some of the older generation are having real issues with their in game workflow. Pair that with classic big club bias and here we are. Incidents like today should be clear examples of the kind of issue that sees that ref tagged and permanently demoted. If you saw that happen in a local league game, you'd think the ref was hungover/still drunk from last night.
-
The largest remaining problem with VAR. Clearly, it is causing too many refs to second guess themselves. They need to bring in a hard rule, like the "clear & obvious" rule used by the NFL, else the decision on the field stands.

Growing game by game, great to watch. Hopefully everyone stays fit and we can rest him from time to time.

Nice to see the US come out and confess to murdering 10 innocent people in order to provide a distraction from Biden's political disaster that was the Afghan imbroglio. Weeks later though, so shame on me for not leaving this well alone down the memory hole. It's all ok though... because it was a "tragic mistake". https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/us-military-says-10-civilians-killed-kabul-drone-strike-last-month-2021-09-17/

Things have really slowed down around here... speaking of slow

Hmmm... happy to see the ambition, but worried that this means Jack is on the way out.

A certain Yellen is now resident in the treasury. Fed independence indeed. They are no longer married to 2%, but to 2% on average and have openly discussed allowing things to run "hot" for a while to make up for recent mediocre inflation prints. Lots of fun on deck with all sorts trying to decipher the latest Fed statement. Of course, none of this says anything about the real inflation rate, just the Feds specially constructed number.
-
Trump would liberally stop and chat with the media all the time on his way to/from the WH. This was after a pretty media friendly Obama presidency too. The regression here for regular DC media is stark. Biden is straight up hiding/being hidden from the media, and for a very good reason.

Rebranding exercise.
