The Federal Trade Commission sued to stop the grocery mega-merger between Albertson’s, parent company of Acme, and Kroger’s, on the grounds that it would be bad for workers and consumers. I don’t know when that became the standard, but I hope they keep applying it.
Not that it will change the narrative – “Biden old” is a message so simple Tarzan, Tonto and Frankenstein’s monster can say it – but a knowledgeable psychologist from Johns Hopkins notes that Trump’s slurring speech and inability to pronounce words are symptoms that indicate mid-stage dementia, while Biden’s misstatements are signs of aging. See! He’s aging!
The hyperventilating segment of MAGAworld wants to blame Biden for the murder of a nursing student in Georgia by a Venezuelan immigrant. One problem with that: Republicans like Venezuelans because they’re fleeing a leftist dictatorship, so Trump made it easier for them to get in. I don’t expect facts to have any bearing on the screechfest.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: Biden says Israel and Hamas are close to a cease-fire. No, for real this time, despite Netanyahu’s insistence that attacks on Gaza won’t end until the capture of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who’s reputedly hiding in the tunnels under Khan Unis where he’s reputedly using hostages as human shields. I wonder where Trump got the idea that politicians can just lie their way through public life?
The floor’s yours.
