'Trump seeks Supreme Court pause in 2020 election case'.

Biden's odds on being the nominee hardening again. The idea that the US President is incapable of being the nominee is obviously a frightening one, and acting on it effectively says he's incapable of being president. So the worse the state of the world, ths more one might deny it. Catch 25.

'Trump ordered to pay $354m to New York for lying to banks'

All of this is perfectly normal. No, really, it is.

Too easy to miss some of the political madness going on - Trump proposes daughter-in-law as head of the Republican National Congress.

The effect of the war in Gaza upon Biden's support. And yet, he will be seen as lukewarm in his support for Israel from many who he might seek to gain votes from in the general.

It seems barely believable that we're talking about a President who will still be in power, in theory, in 2028.

I suppose if both of the main candidates can name the day of the week that makes it a Super Tuesday now

AS I understand it there is a MAGA belief that Obama is telling Biden what to do. When Trump refers to Obama rather than Biden is it a reference to that or failing mental capacity? Pandering to the QAnons?

This is Trump who got Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley confused. His speeches are filled with such.

I watch it in sorry fascination with the circus theme playing in my head, and hearing a carnival barker promising the scariest of freak shows.
