Fear and loathing at the second debate: The murder of Joe Biden, Marianne the Magnificent, and more, by iamthemaster
When he feels afraid, the President thinks about the Thursday night Dems.
The rest of the debate unfolded as I expected. The moderators had been unfrozen from the Winterfell crypts under NBC and rolled into the debate with the same questions from Wednesday. If SNL doesn’t mock Chuck Todd tomorrow, the show has no real reason to exist on TV. Debates are basically magic shows in the barnyard. We’re there to see the wild beasts perform, figure out if they snap under pressure. You hunker down with your friends to see if the animals will go nuts and gore one of the ringmasters. Each of these apex predators is so well-groomed that memorable gaffes are rare.. It wasn’t just that he lied. He did so much worse than that. My God, it was all he could do to not use the phrase “states’ rights.
With the diminishment of Biden, Kamala Harris is the “winner.” Harris is a cop, a creation of the financial sector, and a neoliberal pretending to be progressive. In the next week, Resistance Twitter is going to start stanning hard for her. They’ll forget how, in 2008, she supported a policy that reported undocumented juveniles to ICE. They’ll forget about her failing to prosecute the foreclosure king. But she ended Biden’s presidential career last night. I’ll give her that.
HICKENLOOPER: If I can ask one more question: The question they are asking in South Bend and across the country is why has it taken so long? We had a shooting when I became mayor 10 years before Ferguson. We diversified the police force and … we did deescalation training. I think the real question that America should be asking is why, five years after Ferguson, every city doesn’t have this level of accountability.
“The key thing is this: When it comes to the board of public safety, he appoints all them. So the responsibility is through his appointment,” Davis told BuzzFeed News. “[The mayor] can remove [members] at any time. They work at his pleasure. That’s why it’s more of a buffer.”
