debates are normal! They happen every election! Stop doing this weird macho bullshit over them!

He is seen as so frail and weak that copying Trump's bravado is the best strategy they have right now. The issue is it doesn't work in practice whenever he has to actually speak so it's going to look real weird when weeks of Big Swingin Dick attitude lead into a confused old man embarrassing himself and potentially getting mocked by his opponent.

Maybe people will feel sorry for him or something.

Everyone rational can admit he is unfit for office and shouldn't be voted for but after everyone is used to 4 years of extremely obvious late stage dementia it might poll poorly to roast him on national television. There are probably a significant number of people who don't support him who still believe in decorum and not kicking hospice care patients when they are down.

this is one of the core ways that our democracy is broken by this specific form of neoliberal hyperpluralism that we have.

telecom companies will always be able to out lobby the public about spam calls. the public cares more about death and starvation so focuses on those issues instead. the telecom companies can spend millions a year to lobby just about spam. so the telecoms generally win.

an economist looks at this and sees nothing wrong, but the conclusion of the system is obvious. profitmaking interests will be able to stymie human concerns on average. sure a dedicated lobbying campaign from humans might win out an issue here or there, but the overall trend will always point towards the profitmakers.

I think it's been shown that Biden can stutter his way thru short media spots and debates. Anyone banking on him collapsing during it is chasing the dragon's tail. I'd love to be wrong tho.

Since Biden was a young man in his 40s he's been a brute and a chauvinist that encapsulates the worst tendencies of toxic masculinity from the assault and exposure of his dick to women to just yelling and trying to dominate anyone on a lower rank than him (that crazy rant at journalists that correctly pointed his bs regarding his schooling). Whatever embers are left in his noggin are always going to latch onto that.

another day, another bridge

quote:

A barge has collided with the Pelican Island Causeway in Galveston, Texas, damaging the bridge, closing the roadway to all vehicular traffic and causing an oil spill.

The collision occurred at around 10 a.m. local time. Galveston officials said in a news release that there had been no reported injuries. Video footage obtained by CBS affiliate KHOU appears to show that part of the train trestle that runs along the bridge has collapsed. The barge, which the Galveston Office of Emergency Management said on social media is owned by Martin Petroleum, remains at the site of the collision.


....


The collision caused an oil spill in the bay, officials said in the news release. The U.S. Coast Guard is responding to the spill, and will determine its extent and initiate "containment and cleanup processes," officials said. The Galveston Office of Emergency Management said that vacuum gas oil, which can be used to make transportation fuels and other by-products, had been visually confirmed in the water and said that about six and a half miles of intracoastal waterway had been closed.


The barge has a capacity of about 30,000 gallons, officials said. The amount that has leaked out is unknown.

My belly's full from all the pride I swallow
