It could have been worse. Beto didn't make it, nor did Gillem (sp?).
What do you think of David Pakman? I've almost finished his 3 hour thingo. He seems nice. Have you ever tried Fernet, I assume he meant Fernet Branca?
The problem will be that if the US electorate rejects responsibility for the dislocations resulting from climate change and foreign policy (Honduras! Thanks, Hilary. Count the coups.) the result may well be something like fascism as the problems generate a political reaction. Brazil was terrible. The Intercept has been good on that. I don't recall exactly. I recall maybe Kyle Kulinski talking to Glen Greenwald.
To what extent do you think this is a consequence of the Democratic party not standing for anything? When I think back to the Kavanaugh hearings, the Democratic senators were pretty weak. And no one, except one retired old supreme court judge gives sufficient emphasis to the fact that it is not only at all about the rape allegations. It is that in his response Kavanaugh showed himself unfit. In no other recent time or place would it have been. 'It seems like Ancient Rome.'
The nice thing about looking at this from outside the anglosphere is that only there is the overton window, the mind control, so strongly organised. Bloody Murdoch. Well, I'm not an expert, I haven't paid for a Murdoch publication since 1975. That was enough for me.
It is scary. That's why I relax with history. These things are not unusual.
