    I rechecked and the 'flood of fools' might have been triggered by Juneteenth. This suggests any Biden or Democratic success will be enough to shake more rotten fruit from the tree. The signal-to-noise ratio seems to have improved with more technical and less "big lie" noise.

    BTW, I saw this 'rumor': Elon Musk’s X to Host Election Town Hall With Donald Trump - The New York Times
    . . .
    X, the social media service owned by Elon Musk, will host live video town halls with former President Donald J. Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the run-up to the U.S. presidential election, a major push into politics, according to a person familiar with the plans.

    The town halls, which will be produced in a partnership with the cable channel NewsNation, have yet to be scheduled and moderators have not been selected, said the person, who declined to be named because the plans were not yet public. X users will be able to ask questions of the presidential candidates during the events.

    In an appearance on NewsNation on Wednesday night, Mr. Kennedy confirmed his plans to participate in a town hall, adding that Mr. Musk offered the use of the platform.

    Perhaps it will turn out better than the 'Ron DeSantis' show: Elon Musk’s event with Ron DeSantis reveals more Twitter pitfalls | PBS News

    Elon Musk wants to turn Twitter into a “digital town square,” but his much-publicized Twitter Spaces kickoff event, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announcing his run for president, struggled with technical glitches and a near half-hour delay Tuesday.

    The billionaire Twitter owner said the problems were due to “straining” servers because so many people were trying to listen to the audio-only event. But even at their highest, the number of listeners listed topped out at around 420,000, far from the millions of viewers that televised presidential announcements attract.

    Black Lives Matter was another good move forward then it was hammered. Simple, ask anyone who starts in about summer riots etc etc, all Iives matter, etc etc, do Black Lives Matter, yes or no?

    there are still a lot of yard signs around here (mostly affluent white area) idk if they help black people in any way or not, but we seem to be big on yard signs for most any cause.

    well said. that's politicsi guess, each maneuvering to his advantage with his voter base.
    trump has it easy. just say you're against electric cars and his base is happy.
    bidens situation is much more nuanced. he believes in man made climate change, sees electric cars as part of the solution, and has to try to appease the unions who feel their jobs are jeopordized by them.

    Pretty rare now to see those signs. I know a few who have them, teachers and nurses. Makes me pretty sad too. Now I heard someone running for office claim George Washington didn’t own slaves. Let’s just ignore actual history and rewrite it. If you believe it’s true, it isn’t a lie. George Castanza on Seinfeld.
