WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT “OUR DEMOCRACY,” THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THEY MEAN:
In September 2019, Senator Kamala Harris called on Twitter to censor the sitting President Donald Trump.
This was after the Democrat Party's Russiagate hoax was exposed as a multi-year disinformation campaign run against the American people.

TRUTH:
Kamala’s interview last night was a reminder that we’re not running against a candidate. We’re running against a *system*. They require a candidate they can control, which means having original ideas is a disqualification. That’s exactly why we get Biden, then Kamala, and so on.

BOB GRABOYES: The Super-Definitive Ranking of Presidents: A 100% totally Scientific™ cost-benefit analysis of all 45 U.S. presidents. “Two recent BW posts (“Polls, Pols, and Poli-Sci” and “Presidential Prodigiousness Potpourri”) lambasted the Bizarro World of presidential rankings from the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey. Some of the more ludicrous findings are summarized/caricatured in the graphic above. Several readers asked me to offer my own rankings. I can’t do a 1-through-45 list, but I can lump them into five tiers: (T#1) highly positive, (T#2) somewhat positive, (T#3) neutral, (T#4) somewhat negative, and (T#5) highly negative.”

#JOURNALISM:
Kamala is clearly reading notes for many questions from @DanaBashCNN.
Why is this important?
She had the questions prior to this interview, crafted notes with staff/experts, and is still struggling.
This is hard to watch. Wow.#KamalaAndTim

UPDATE:
She committed a coup against her own running mate and sitting President.
She looks tired and soulfully corrupted.
Her look and shaky voice in this interview shows it all. pic.twitter.com/OaCyd2Po5C

OPEN THREAD: Party on, dudes and dudettes.
LEADERSHIP:
What we’ve learned from Biden’s tenure is that apparently it’s an option to just not have a president. We’d always imagined that the presidency is a rather essential job. I guess not. We can go 4 years without one. Maybe that should be an option on the ballot in future elections.

It's pretty weird to be in a world where the US president, not just AF1 is missing; where Russia is being bombarded daily and the British PM has nothing better to do than gaol people who write mean Facebook posts.
