There is simply no respite from tRump or tRump-related articles anywhere...two dozen regular Substack authors I read daily, and many have tRump-leading or tRump-containing musings. And of course, don't mention the corporate media, for he is their life-blood.

Someone pointed out that the Harris-Walz campaign can't maintain its momentum because tRump - and Hillbilly - dominate coverage, it doesn't matter if it's all negative, it's COVERAGE. And this has to affect people's intake vis-a-vis the "attention economy" and what side is dominating.

Small wonder Kamala Harris wants one or more debates.

The only failure of the SS IMO is shooting into the bushes. Where did those bullets end up? Was there a chance people other than Routh were in that vicinity? Joyce Vance said Ronald Reagan gave up playing golf because it was putting others in danger. That never seems to occur to Trump.

Of course it doesn't. Reagan gave up golf because it put others in danger. Worrying about anyone not named Donald J. Trump is beyond his limited mental and moral capabilities.

Thank you for the red flags, alerts, and stewardship to the truth. I can barely read it. But you do the even harder part.

I'm concerned more people in

the electorate; undecideds

aren't concerned enough with

the the hate and vitriol being

spouted by Trump and Vance,

to make up their flipping

minds and vote blue.

Mother Earth is rumbling and

rocking all over the world.

When will we pay attention to

her warnings?

Thanks for Vladek.1

I am concerned that Vance's comment about different needs, and lumping risk pools won't get enough clear coverage of what it means. It is very very concerning. Thank you for bringing it up.

While I am at it, also concerned that Trump's admission that he lost the 2020 election has gotten covered up by subsequent events. EVERYONE should be outraged by that admission, especially all the folks who believed Trump and went to DC for the January 6 event. But everyone. This should be headlines every day.

Re SCOTUS: I know going all lawless—basing decisions on nothing more than to make the decision they want, the law be damned—is practically SCOTUS heritage. But that that’s the hallmark of the Roberts court has been clear for years.

Clearly, Dobbs and Bruen, more recently Loper Bright, weren’t obvious enough for our elite mainstream press, but it goes back at least to Shelby County.

And yes, this panel is 1000% capable of a repeat of Bush v Gore, this time with a pro-Trump ruling based on nothing more than opportunity, again legal basis or lack thereof be damned.

Clearly our exceptional media will never admit but the GOP majority at SCOTUS acts as lawful as any junta ever.

That the Dems are insufficiently concerned says everything about the post-Clinton party.

Regarding “Oopsie” — it’s behind a paywall!

Trump & Vance are hands down the most reliably juvenile President/VP team to ever campaign for

the two most powerful jobs in the world, which in normal times would’ve instantly disqualified both of them. One never knows what objectively awful thing

will slither out of their mouths at any given time.

If you find bloody moving vehicle crashes and lies about a candidate who tells the world he’s a black nazi with a proclivity to indulge in pornography is the new Martin Luther King entertaining, you’ve hit the entertainment jackpot with this duo.

From the immigrants dining on family pets to hateful

political rhetoric about a pop star, they just keep digging their mutual political graves, impervious to

advice to, well. . . act like grownups?
