What a mess. Interesting thoughts, as always. Curious about your Democrats alienating comment, as every Democrat politician I've listened to the past two days has criticized all the violence and property destruction. Not sure what more they can do as Trump does anything he wants and they can't.
Thanks Laurie! What a balagan (Yiddish, look it up)! The dems say a lot of the right things, but they need to stay one step ahead of Trump on these issues. Gavin, for instance, should have beat Trump to the punch on calling out Guardsmen for LAPD reinforcement — shutting down freeways like the 101 is enough cause. Karen Bass should have imposed a curfew immediately instead of waiting for 4 days. These are simple things that a Democrat like Bill Clinton would have done to seize the narrative. No American likes to watch the brainless carnage that’s happening in LA. If the Dems attacked it as vociferously as they attack Trump (while still defending due process) they’d be in better shape!
This reality show has unfortunately been “greenlighted” for 3.4 years. What storylines it will pursue in the coming months are yet to be written. But with the dubious actors in the play being given full rein to adlib their own segments, I fear we haven’t seen anything yet. I don’t need a volume control as much as an off button!
Zero sympathy for Waymo or the AI/Tech Bros whose whole disruption scheme is powered by greed , while corrupting politicians and thumbing noses at law and regulation. As for Gaza, the whole plot was orchestrated by Hamas, murdering and kidnapping Israelis in a cowardly attack and then making their own people into targets by hiding amongst them and in hospitals, knowing Israel would respond with force.

Little Greta is the most irrelevant person on the planet if you don’t include Harry and Meghan
As always, I enjoy what you say - And how you say it. Good column, Russ.
