all the "RESPECT THE TROOPS HONOR THE TROOPS STAND FOR THEM AND SUPPORT THE TROOPS" stuff the media pushed since 9/11 was a joke. A laugh to them. Every time it collided with whatever it was that Republicans want to do, the troops lose. Trump goes to soldiers' graves and laughs at them!

The Recurring Speed Camera Discourse is a bit exasperating really because, look, we all know what's actually happening is people just want to be able to commit the pertinent crimes and don't like being punished for it, but people come up with obvious post-hoc pseudo-woke rationalisations for this.

Obviously the human toll is what matters. But here's a question I keep thinking about. The bulk of the SCOTUS docket is business stuff. If they are now openly reinterpreting the law on days that end in Y, how can anyone have confidence in the rule of law in America, including corporate interests?

We are ruled by the Council of Nine. They rule for life & are completely unaccountable. Their agent, the president, is empowered to enact their will but will be placed on a short leash when he displeases them. Congress can raise and appropriate funds the president can use or not to his liking.

NPR has a similar MO. If there is a political panel discussion there will be at least two Republican operatives in the group but the Democratic viewpoint will be one lone person represented by the most weak-sauce of debaters who isn’t even part of the party.

A particular characteristic of the US press is that it runs in narrative cycles, and breaking them of those cycles is nearly impossible. When Hortman was killed, the press was already pushing "growing violence on the left," and so basically just chose to ignore the implications of her assassination.
