America’s top political leaders are remarkably old. Our president will turn 80 this year. His predecessor, who is contemplating running again, is about to turn 76. The speaker of the House is 82. The Republican leader in the Senate is 80, and his Democratic counterpart is a comparatively sprightly 71.
Joe Biden is once again butting up against the limits of his presidency — and with not much working in his favor other than “hope” that he can will the political world of today to look again like the one he once knew.
“I think things have gotten so bad that everybody is getting more rational about it,” Biden told reportersMonday, suggesting there might be enough “rational Republicans” on Capitol Hill to help his party get at least some gun reforms passed. “At least, that’s my hope.”
In an ad released last year, Blake Masters, a leading candidate in Arizona’s Republican Senate primary, cradles a semiautomatic weapon. “This is a short-barreled rifle,” he said, ominous music playing in the background. “It wasn’t designed for hunting. This is designed to kill people.”
Last week, in the trial of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, prosecutor Andrew DeFilippis asked ex-campaign manager Robby Mook about the decision to share with a reporter a bogus story about Donald Trump and Russia’s Alfa Bank. Mook answered by giving up his onetime boss. “I discussed it with Hillary,” he said, describing his pitch to the candidate: “Hey, you know, we have this, and we want to share it with a reporter… She agreed to that.”
In a country with a functioning media system, this would have been a huge story. Obviously this isn’t Watergate, Hillary Clinton was never president, and Sussmann’s trial doesn’t equate to prosecutions of people like Chuck Colson or Gordon Liddy. But as we’ve slowly been learning for years, a massive fraud was perpetrated on the public with Russiagate, and Mook’s testimony added a substantial piece of the picture, implicating one of the country’s most prominent politicians in one of the more ambitious disinformation campaigns we’ve seen.
Love On The Spectrum U.S.
Netflix Official Trailer: https://bit.ly/3PS6DCz
This is riveting television.
It will make you smile and it will bring tears to your eyes. As a matter of fact I’m holding back the waterworks right now.
You know someone on the spectrum. Even though they may not even know it themselves. But in the last thirty years incredible advancements have been made.
The spectrum… Usually with every little thing taken away, something is added back in. You’ll be wowed at Subodh’s mathematical skills.
So that’s what this show is about, people on the spectrum dating, many for the very first time.
