22 Years Of This Shit

This shit blog, but also this shit. It was boring when Bernie Goldberg wrote his incoherent book, it was boring when Bari Weiss did it, and it's still so damn boring!

There was a time when I would've ENGAGED THE CONVERSATION but, dear readers, anyone who treats MAN CLAIMS MEDIA OUTLET IS LIBERAL as important just gets added to the ignore/point and laugh list.

It's a very very long list.

(I don't mean Scott - linked - for making the effort I can't bring myself to).

All The Private Details Fit To Print

Journalists have been publishing incredibly detailed descriptions of prospective Trump jurors - making them easily identifiable - for reasons they haven't bothered to explain. Is that a normal mafia trial thing to do?

The Rare Reporter Who Would Notice

Tapper sucks in lots of ways but he won't always play along with the GOP script of the day.  That shouldn't be notable.

What Can Biden DOOOOOOOOO

Something.

A special State Department panel recommended months ago that Secretary of State Antony Blinken disqualify multiple Israeli military and police units from receiving U.S. aid after reviewing allegations that they committed serious human rights abuses.

But Blinken has failed to act on the proposal in the face of growing international criticism of the Israeli military’s conduct in Gaza, according to current and former State Department officials.

HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY TO US ALL

A few of you, at least, have been here since near the beginning.

Thank you for your support! To 22 MORE YEARS. I will be 74.

Foreign Interests

Not defending Putin support, but it should also inspire a more general consideration of the various ways ($$$)  many different foreign interests have a bit of influence in DC.

I really am not thinking of Israel.

My somewhat unevidenced opinion is that members of Congress are personally much more corrupt than they used to be, aside from the obvious perpetual corruption of the security state.

Wacky Wednesday.

Options

This is a CNN headline.  

We did not see a "no easy option for Iran" equivalent.

The nice thing about the supposed rules-based order, about war crimes laws, is you don't really have to take sides to apply the framework.  Once you reject the framework, all you are doing is taking sides.

To be fair, we should remember that Iran stole the WMDs from Iraq.

Time Is Funny

The incoming university class of '28 were  born in 2006 or so, meaning they were 10 when Trump was elected.

My made up rule of thumb is that anything that happens before about age 9 is The Before Time for people, little different in concept to things that happened 20 years earlier.
