Comment on CA Gov. Jerry Brown endorses Hillary Clinton

Wall Street Journal: “The ruling Conservative Party—which ran on a slogan to ‘Get Brexit Done’ during the last election in 2019—doesn’t want to dwell on its former flagship policy given that about three-quarters of the country thinks it botched the terms of its divorce from the EU, according to a poll by YouGov.

Air Mail: “The traditional approach of stigmatizing far-right parties by invoking their authoritarian roots is having little effect on generations for whom Auschwitz, Vichy, and D-day are obscure references in a history book—one they may not have cracked open.” “Another lesson is that responding judiciously to voter concerns about migration, rather than labeling them ‘racist’ or the product of ‘misinformation,’ can strengthen support for the political mainstream.”

You would think after the felonious moron magnet praised "the Great Hannibal Lecter" last month, his handlers freaked the fuck out and explained to him that expressing admiration for a serial killer is bad, but nope. He did it again. CNN's Jim Acosta read a few of the more batshit crazy things Donald Trump said to Republicans during his policy meeting when he returned to the scene of the crime. "But during his remarks to House Republicans, Trump also complimented the fictional serial killer, Hannibal Lecter," Acosta said. "He reportedly spoke of a great romance with Nancy Pelosi in Another Life, whined about Taylor Swift, and called Milwaukee, which is hosting the Republican National Convention next month, a quote, horrible city, a moment Milwaukee's hometown newspaper prominently featured on its front page this morning," he added. The Pelosi thing is weird.

Above, Hubert Kah performs Welcome, Machine Gun. Smart people say that the SCOTUS rulings are more about limiting the power of regulators rather than the actual impact of (for instance) un-banning bump stocks, or keeping mifepristone legal in the states that have not banned abortion. Let's get into it! Above The Law declares Justice Amy Coney Barret is the Great Concurer. The Moderate Voice looks at the mifepristone-related decision. Outside the Beltway rounds up misleading headlines about the SCOTUS decision. The Verge reports on a major disinformation research center shutting down.

Donald Trump is not well. We've all known it for a while,. But sometimes it just jumps up and kicks you in the face. His rally in Las Vegas recently was one of those moments. Trump just started freaking about sharks, batteries, boats, electrocution..to the point some in the MAGAfied crowd behind him began looking at each other, like "what the f*k?" And here's the thing--we at Cliff's Edge found footage from a year ago of Trump freaking about the exact same thing!

Gotta hand it to your merch team, Dark Brandon! Very quick response to Trump's hatred for Milwaukee. Crime is down in Milwaukee.
