13. So much of it is just noise.

I try to tune most of it out, but it's admittedly not easy.

The right blaming political violence on the left is laughable, of course. Projection is about the only thing they have left, outside of fear. All so predictable.

For those around Trump, I think they know exactly what he is, but they think it's worth the risk for personal gain. Works for some. Others get disbarred, go to prison, and so on. Quite the coin flip.

Cannon didn't need the out from Thomas, in my opinion. I think she delayed as long as she could, and it's now more about timing -- right before the convention and the VP pick.

I fully understand, though. It's all very discouraging. All we can do now is try to affect the outcome in November. Turnout was always the only realistic solution. I just hope it's enough.
