Van
Dipshit gonna dipshit, but it can't be overtated how much certain progressive organizations treated Jones like a God, or at least His One True Prophet, circa 2010.
CNN’s Van Jones: “A bullet couldn’t stop Trump, a virus stopped Biden.”

Am I Clear
My basic positions through all this have been:
-The people who have been trying to push Biden out have gone about it the wrong way at every step, whatever one thinks of their goal
-The pressure from "big donors" and similar is at least partially due to bad motives
-The only rational replacement for Biden is Harris, and getting rid of Harris is part of the goals of people in the two points above (I recognize there is not one perfectly aligned set of people, precisely, but...)
-It is quite the trick spinning from yelling at The Kids to stop whining about ethnic cleansing, including blasting people for the absolute mildest form of objection expression of voting "uncommitted" in primaries, to pushing the guy out
-A lot of people in power have behaved very very badly, and I suspect that this is somehow the fault of The Left
Americaland Tales
Biden has Covid.
Whoever is scripting this satirical dystopia, about the waning days of a declining empire, is hitting some too obvious beats.
It's a clear callback to season 1, which had a tidy ending that was scrapped due to the show being renewed for a second season.
The show's alternating images of what we support abroad yet pretend to decry at home are pretty powerful.
"Mass Deportation Now"
Those signs at the RNC could have said "Mass Extermination Now." They aren't a policy wish, but the just respectable representation of the true desires of the MAGA chuds.
They aren't really picky about who.
Extermination is more practical than expulsion and feeds their real desires.

And How Does That Work
Politico (find it yourself - feel bad for linking once today) has a piece about how Biden AND Harris have to go, through some magic uncontroversial process, confirming that jettisoning Harris has been a major goal along.
Carville is prominently featured, of course.
Glad these geniuses have decised they are in charge.
Sure Why Not
A mild distraction.
A former reality star who claimed she has been secretly dating a US Senator for the last year has decided to 'expose all of his dirty secrets' online - including his bizarre fetishes that saw him paying her to eat Taco Bell in front of him.
It's Only Been 128 Days Since Someone Tried To Kill Trump
Remember when that was going to change EVERYTHING?
Truth Tellers
Journalists should cover this stuff, but they are more likely to do so if several Dems regularly refer to "JD Vance, Alex Jones supporter."
Speaking Of Being In On It
We have had 8 years of versions of "today is the day Trump became president" in part because the very clever boys and girls of the press corps can't imagine that they are the victims of the wallet inspector.
Contempt
I suppose I am just guilty of something I frequently accuse reporters of - that they are unoffended by lies as long as they think they are in on it - but there is something extra offensive about Biden's people deceiving "their own side." And not just random voters, but electeds and delegates and the general top apparatus of that amorphous thing we call the Democratic Party.
The head of the DNC spent his day arguing with Nate Silver on twitter and, I dunno, man, anything else going on? Also, don't make me side with Nate.
I have never been on team "chuck Biden out" in part because the people who began it didn't seem like they had any idea what they were doing, but now nobody does.
