Theyāre doing it again. Yesterday Abdul was asked at an event if he would disavow the Muslim brotherhood, asked as some kind of expected gotchya. He did so unequivocally and immediately and then turned into a discussion of what was going on that heād even be asked the question.
Yet the right are out there today pretending he refused to disavow them. Many are even using the video of the exchange as āevidenceā when it says the exact opposite. We now know the questioner was a paid rat fucker and seems the RW accounts were prepped for the story of Abdul getting trapped by this question and even when it didnāt happen they are just running with that story anyway

Surprisingly , or at least it was to me , government corruption is now the No1 issue for most Americans ahead of the mid-terms. (According to a Fox poll no less.) Unsurprisingly , the Dems are going hard on linking it to the affordability issue to try and close the deal.
And , typically , Trump manages to make the whole thing worse with an off-hand comment made at a recent rally. Speaking about the controversial promise to give $5,000 for every American adult , which he calls the Trump dividend , he says of how a couple might spend their little windfall ;
āLetās go to Palm Beach and join the president for lunch. Letās have lunch at Mar-a-Lago, where for $5,000, youāll get one hamburger and a small dessert,ā he said, with a laugh. āI shouldnāt say that.ā (NYT)

I love how he picked up his coat ready for the moment he was forcibly ejected from the premises, forgetting that the left donāt do that, and he had to just leave on his own.

Sitting US Senator responding to a question about how to respond to a criminal administration: "We have to punish them because its the right thing to do, but we also have to make people realize there is a penalty for willingly joining a corrupt organization.
Member of corrupt political org: āOh my god, this is facism. If they wont let us get away with criming then we will shoot her. We are definitely the good guys in this exchange.ā

If you ignore what she actually said and imagine she said something completely different then itās clear that she is no better than Trump

Most the good ones are annoying as shit and you have to weed through a lot of BS to get to their good content (see bad Nate as an example), but Nate Cohn from the NYT is good. Charlie Cook for an old school approach but he seems to only post links to his substack these days.. Amy Walter largely took of the Cook Political Report from him and she has a lot of good information but couches everything through the most trite conventional wisdom (Trump voters arent racist they just tell polls they have economic anxiety) that can be very misleading about the āwhyā of what is going on

Nate Cohn was one I followed last time.
Thanks for the reminder.
Trump and MAGA are really panicking now.
Trying to draw parallels with the demos in France is surely the act of a drowning man.
France is about prices etc,the very thing he is causing at home,and not being the flavour of the month for it.
Meanwhile his goons are justified in shooting a baby in his mothers arms.
France looks like a genteel garden party by comparison.

Itās a bleak reading and it only reinforces what Arminius and others have stated that Trump is a symptom, not the cause.
