Comments

Via Brookings: The Iran conflict’s energy shocks are not yet fully realized.
Via The Atlantic: The Intellectual Right Is Mad at the Mess It’s Made.
Jonathan Bernstein: Impeachment and the Next Congress.
Via RawStory: Tiger Woods called Trump between car flip and DUI arrest: report.
G. Elliott Morris: Poll: 1 out of 8 Trump voters has buyer’s remorse about 2024.
Via the NYT editorial board: Trump Said This Policy Would Make Manhattan a ‘Ghost Town.’ He Was Wrong.
Here we have the FCC Chair chalking up partisan scalps, which underscores what he thinks he job is (spoiler: it isn’t what his job is supposed to be about). And more evidence, at least slyly, that Colbert’s ousted was solely for financial reason (*wink*).

FCC Chair: Trump is winning. Look at the results—PBS and NPR defunded. Joy Reid, Sleepy-Eyed Chuck Todd, Jim Acosta, John Dickerson are gone. Colbert is leaving. CBS is under new ownership, and soon enough CNN will have new ownership as well. pic.twitter.com/8kdrG5T3GP

Re the Atlantic article – it’s good that there are splits on the right and some of the loons think other loons are too looney. But wake me up when any of them actually do anything about it. Like, as in Bernstein’s second impeachment scenario, GOP senators actually break with Trump.

That Morris poll says that young people are 4 times as likely to regret voting for Trump as older voters.

And now I wonder, is that because they are young and easy to swindle? Or is it specific, because we old people have seen Trump a long time and know what his moves are?

You’re right about the FCC chair. At the same time, these fools don’t realize that broadcast media is fading, losing viewers every day.
