I would like to take a line from the 1994 Bjork song in her first album. Aptly named “Debut”
“There’s more to life than this..” Appropriately Recorded Live at “The Milk Bar Toilets.”
Being a political afficionado I feel compelled to join the scrum.
Regrettably Trump is happily sucking up all the air in America. I am thinking back to the 2019 book “Audience of One – Donald Trump, Television, and the Fracturing of America” by James Poniewozik. A must read.
Here we are on August 2, 2023 and Trump will be indicted tomorrow. So, after taking a deep dive into the media, Mainstream and otherwise, the quote from long time scribe Walter Shapiro in The New Republic says it all.
Excerpted from The New Republic 8.2.2023
Trump, if nominated, may spend more time in 2024 sitting mute in courtrooms than he will orating to fanatical true believers in basketball arenas about “witch hunts” and stolen elections. Despite ridiculously premature polling showing the 2024 race neck and neck, it seems like a weird political strategy for the Republicans to rally around a thrice-indicted proven loser. The problem, of course, is that Republicans are still in the grips of a collective delusion that Trump is the legitimate president. A late June Monmouth University Poll found that 68 percent of Republicans believe—despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary—that Biden only won in 2020 because of vote fraud.
