thespecial place in Hell for kick the can Mitch McConnell and passive Merrick Garland
There was one weird note from the “14 Keys” guy, Allan Litchmann, a month ago in his twice weekly streams. He said he does not pretend to be infallible, and should be be wrong despite one hundred years it suggested some new dynamic has entered the picture, and he thinks he knows what it would be. But leave it there and get back to it after the election.
Social media? The collapse of a news media into disparate narrative lines removed from any perspective or need for truth?
