Well, I had mailed in my ballot for the primary, and gave no more thought to the primary all day, yesterday, or today.
(Really busy with medical shit. )
I have noticed that there is not a single T flag to be seen anywhere in the County, and I only saw one Saturday on the drive to Loveland to see Dune 2.
(Hopefully, that's a good sign.)
The primaries have become anachronisms. Few states have seen a substantial turnout for either party, and the also-rans are only a distraction.
Campaigns will be boring and costly.
We could take that money and feed the entire fucking world for a year. But we will happily line the pockets of sycophants and scoundrels, instead.
It's going to be a long eight months. [SIGH]

In 2020 Biden took Wisconsin by ~20,000 votes, but Wisconsin also leaned heavily towards Bernie in the primaries giving Biden only 66% of the primary vote, while coming together to bring a win to Biden when it mattered. It feels really up in the air as to whether this will produce real change in Biden's support for Israel or at least the conditions of that support, or whether this is leading up the refrain "But his position on Israel!" as Kushner designates support for Palestine terrorism. I know I'm generally cynical about this, but it would actually be nice if it changed his support, I'd be down for a president that sees targeting aid convoys as absolutely too far.
It seems like as clear-cut as it can be with the repeated targeting of the same convoy even after receiving communications from the WCK team after the first strike.
There are only three possibilities, and none of them are remotely acceptable:
1. It was a total mistake, they didn't realize it was WCK.
This would suggest incredible incompetence and a mistake of that magnitude should not be allowed to stand without repercussions for the people who made it. But no evidence of that happening.
And honestly, this seems very unlikely.
2. They thought there was a Hamas fighter embedded with the WCK team.
Israel saying that they'll accept large amounts of casualties, including of aid workers (and as we're seeing, this has a chilling effect on further aid attempts, which arguably makes it worse than collateral damage of civilian Palestinians) in an attempt to get a single Hamas fighter when 1. the fighter is not senior, and thus not very important 2. they would have other opportunities to get the person.
Those are unacceptable rules of engagement.
3. They intentionally targeted WCK
I don't even need to explain.
And then there are possible variations in how high up it goes as well.
It's also possible the truth is somewhere between 2 & 3 - even if they wouldn't have targeted WCK without a supposed Hamas fighter, many in the IDF likely see the chilling effect on aid to be a feature not a bug, regardless of whether it's coming from the top.
I wonder if Biden directing US troops to distribute aid would be a possible response - I don't think Bibi would dare target US troops.
I reckon No Labels chose to give up on the 2024 POTUS race after Joe Manchin, Chris Christie, Dean Phillips, a former GA lieutenant governor, and the head of animal control for Burnt Scrotum County, AZ (probably) told them, "Thanks, but lol."
