To be fair, when Hale Boggs is your dad and you get a steady diet of politics at the dinner table, it gives you some insight and when there was anything to say she usually said it. The trouble is a lot of time there’s nothing much to say. Trump told a billion lies last night, like he invariably does, and his literal tone doesn’t really much matter, but if you’re on TV or have a column or whatever you have to say something. It’s this great maw that must be filled so you end up throwing in a lot of stuff that isn’t very nutritious.

Much has been written (including by me) on the subject of our proudly “mainstream” media types and their culture. For what it’s worth, I share your general take.
Upton Sinclair was right about this:
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

I prefer when my dogs shit on the carpet. When they pee on it, the pee seeps in and you can’t get it out short of using almost as much bleach as a Trump Covid clinic. When they shit on it, you can pick it up with a piece of toilet paper, give the area a quick wipe with a disinfecting towel, and done.
And if people still carpet their floors in Georgetown town houses, well, they aren’t watching the home improvement shows.

Trump was not behaving with restraint. He was RESTRAINED by a moderator with a mute button and the promise to use it if he tried his usual bully and bluster routine.
Like most children, if you tell them what the consequences of their outrageous behavior will be, and they know you mean it, it has a remarkable effect on their attitude.

First, Trump doesn’t drink. He did in early adulthood and one fine evening laid on a serious drunk, and almost didn’t wake up the next morning.
Second, he’d never do it – he despises his own supporters. (Probably more than we do.)

It looks serious. He’ll drop 10 minutes after he confirms the Handmaid. She’ll pray for him.

It worked for Stormy Daniels. One spanking and he behaved, at least until he had the urge for another.

They shouldn’t worry. They’ll get lots of people watching the trials once Trump is out of office.

Yes. This. I watched the PBS postmortem and was actually surprised and shocked to see their take on the debate. The debate was a blizzard of lies, an avalanche of bullshit from Trump, even if he didn’t shout quite as much this time, while Biden stuck (mostly) to fact, and conducted himself admirably. PBS driveled on endlessly about how “substantive” (WTAF???) the debate had been, some idiot pundit said it was like Goldilocks, the first debate was too something, the second was too something-else, but the third one was just right! The Both Sides is strong with the press, and it’s appalling to see this at PBS; it’s a bloody shame that clicks and views are more important than actual news and a bit of honesty.

My newspaper had an AP report of the surges in the virus at every "rally " stop he made in the past few weeks. He is killing his base! And they are too damn stupid to see it.
Keep it up Donnie! This may be the most important service you have provided this country.

This phenomenon should be headlined by major news outlets. It would get clicks and eyeballs, and has the added advantage of being important and true.
