Oh, its the penetration of the America First ignorance to his demo, creating a softening of the anti-Trump coalition. Its a demo that would otherwise be solid D and anti-Trump.

I think he's done as much as is expected of him. He's got his soldier's charities he supports. Laura has the reading and a few other charities she supports. I am getting all this sent to my feed because I am a social media follower of them. The Bush family are not welcome in their former party and he's bewildered. They still have some power because their sort of blue blood people always have some. In a world where the Queens real estate con-artist has the ear of Joe Sixpack and Bush feels a guilty burden for having sent so many of Joe's Sixpack's kids off to be blown to flinders, you really don't get much platform.

The soft bigotry of correct expectations.

Was watching one of the myriad WWII youtube videos I watch. Mark Felton's War Stories so, in the video, they show that Eva Braun's sister marries this punk Fegelein (guy shown being a deserter from the bunker and being then executed in the movie "Downfall"). Anyway, was semi-stunned to see that the wedding was held at the Mirabel Palace in Salzburg, Austria (shown in "The Sound of Music"). Stunned because, I was at this palace and listened to some lovely quartet playing at around the magic hour a couple years ago. It was a wonderful moment of just pure pleasure. I have been to Dachau. I've studied this topic a bunch at multiple different stops in my academic career but still just stunned at the fact that this beautiful place was sullied by having a Nazi regime power wedding. Anyway, Its a difficult subject. people are out there buying Volkswagens (designed by Ferdinand Porche to be Hitler's "People's Car"). BMW's (from the Bavarian manufacturer of Luftwaffe fighter plane motors), or Siemens electrical equipment. The best companies take it on and admit to the dark past and work to do as much good in the World as possible. BTW, The first and latter do a really good job taking that complicated history on face first. https://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/press-releases/75-years-ago-us-troops-liberate-volkswagen-plant-and-city-on-mittellandkanal-5939 https://www.siemens.com/global/en/company/about/history/company/1933-1945.html BMW on the other hand had to be drawn out about all of this.

Reagan has his critics. On this stuff he was right.

Interesting data point from Sam Webb from his paywall. Gross oversimplificaition: He says that Sabb didn't care for Clink. Not sure what was up with Wink and the flux in the DB room.

go go gadget

Good tweet

He thinks the strong dollar is a problem.

Many on the RW always had a power fetish. It comes from being potty trained too early or something. I used to be sickened by people sitting around listening to NCO's talk about meting out punishment to their troops like it was funny to them.

Navalny is a message to us if the guy who loves strongmen gets back into the White House.

This is always the right answer for your mental health. However, being an alert citizen is also extremely necessary. As far as the game. I tend to get annoyed by the "miracle" that Notre Dame always gets every game they play against Michigan. There is always some insane fluke thing that happens. Even in 2013 that wasn't the case. We were killing them on the regular even in that Richrod/Hokish era.

reform is needed but, yeah...this is a blessing. I play the 2013 game a lot.

the Tiger coming through the D is her design.
