I do have to say that parts of the corporate media are doing notably less sanewashing lately. For example, here's the NYT on the absolutely nutso General Assembly speech. (I'd give you a gift link but it doesn't seem to be working.):
Trump Attacks U.N. and Lectures Nations in Address to General Assembly
President Trump’s speech, filled with grievances and false claims, comes as the United States has withdrawn funding and support for U.N. programs.
However, although the corporate media brought in experts to fact check the utterly bonkers news conference on autism yesterday, they failed to do justice to the manifest dementia and insanity of the star speaker. Paul Campos offers a thread from Acyn with some of the highlights.
What we have here is a guy who was never very bright to begin with, who doesn't read, was always ill informed and much too narcissistic to doubt himself, who is now very clearly at a state of dementia bordering on severe. He can barely put together a sentence, cannot produce a coherent train of thought, has no self awareness, is emotionally unregulated and delusional. However, the mental fitness of presidential candidates and incumbents, which had been the most important issue facing the nation during the 2024 election, instantly ceased to be an issue of the slightest concern on July 21, 2024.
Please explain that to me.

AAAAAGGGHHH ... !!! Perhaps the US has ALWAYS been insane, but now it's tipped over the edge.
Republican algebra is not commutative.
It's a math term that's almost too simple explain, but I'll try.
The mnemonic device is use to keep it straight in my head is to think of a commuter. That's someone who goes back and forth between two places and never arrives anywhere else. Mathematically this translates to a property of some action on two objects that it doesn't matter the order you feed the objects to the action you'll get the same result. For example, addition and multiplication are commutative; subtraction and division are not.
Republican algebra behaves like subtraction and division; "Republican" and "Democrat" are not interchangeable. If a Democratic President does something weird, he's senile, if a Republican President does the same thing, that's totally normal, he's just being metaphorical. The First Amendment applies very differently to a Republican and a Democrat. I'm anxious to see how the Second Amendment applies to liberals. I'm sure the logic will be fascinating.
Please, whoever is running this universe, make the bad orange turd go away.
Orwell called it in "Animal Farm", Chucky--"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." The Republican version is, "Only Republican animals are equal. All others are insignificant, even evil." Eventually, Republicans would start eating their own, a form of political ketosis (the body starts to digest protein when no fat or carbs are left). But they won't get that far. Shitler isn't long for this world. One way or another, his swift and spectacular downfall is coming.
Don - Why would Republicans be exempt? Yes, they've been useful for a while, but only one individual is absolutely and eternally unequaled - DJT. Those within the radius of his glow are also exempt, but sins against the anointed one can also get them cast out into the darkness. Heed the sad tale of pal Jeffrey that ye not deviate from that fraught and harrowing path that beckons thee.
