Будни электората

Neal Houk, a Trump supporter, was out for a ride with his son in their pickup truck yesterday. The Truck was adorned with some pro-Trump signage. They were passing the home of Douglas Kuhn, a Biden supporter and BLM advocate. Kuhn was in the process of putting up a Black Lives Matter sign in his yard. For reasons that remain unclear, Houk decided to honk his horn as he passed Kuhn on his street. The response he received took everyone by surprise. Kuhn dropped the sign, picked up a loaded 12 gauge shotgun, and opened fire. (WJZ News, CBS Baltimore)
 
 

А не хрен бибикать, особенно for reasons that remain unclear. Заметим, что люди теперь устанавливают предвыборные знаки, имея под рукой шотган.

“People are taking the politics a little too serious,” Todd added.

I don’t think anybody is saying they are inauthentic

Представитель штаба Байдена отбивается от вопросов на Fox News:

“I’m so confused. What’s interesting is I feel like you still haven’t answered the fundamental question, which is: Can anyone say that these emails are inauthentic? And so far, I haven’t heard anybody say that,” Vittert said.

Shockingly, Arnold then admitted, “I think that’s fair. I don’t think anybody is saying they are inauthentic.”

Выразительно получилось. Они явно не хотят отрицать подлинность материала (видимо, зная, что еще было на том лэптопе и может вот-вот всплыть), ну и пытаются все свалить по традиции на Путина. С аргументами типа "полторы тыщи бывших членов разведывательного сообщества утверждают, что это все очень похоже на русскую дезинформацию". Ну, как обычно, дзигам хватает.

Ехал на ярмарку Джеффри-холуй

История, которую все уже видели: New Yorker Suspends Jeffrey Toobin for Masturbating on Zoom Call

Вот, однако, подробности, что это был за Zoom call.

 
Two people who were on the call told VICE separately that the call was an election simulation featuring many of the New Yorker’s biggest stars: Jane Mayer was playing establishment Republicans; Evan Osnos was Joe Biden, Jelani Cobb was establishment Democrats, Masha Gessen played Donald Trump, Andrew Marantz was the far right, Sue Halpern was left wing democrats, Dexter Filkins was the military, and Jeffrey Toobin playing the courts. There were also a handful of other producers on the call from the New Yorker and WNYC.

То есть Тубин моделировал поведение судов и немного увлекся. Made my day.

А Маша Гессен у них там Трампа изображала.

Вообще, надо сказать, главный результат этих четырех лет – ясное понимание того, до чего ничтожен весь этот chattering class – пресса, профессиональные политики, публичные "эксперты" всех видов и прочая подобная публика.
