On Tuesday, Ukraine began official accession negotiations<\/a> with the European Union. It’s nice to have some good news to offset what came out of the Supreme Court<\/a> yesterday, and the ridiculous number of decisions not yet decided by the same. Also, I learned that Steve Schmidt has a wicked sense of humor, as is shown by his remarks about the Alan Shepard prayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I would think<\/a> that Pete Buttigieg would be among the very last of white people to think that black lives – quality as well as quantity – don’t matter. I’d advise them to go directly to him. But I do realize that’s not as easy as it sounds.<\/p>\n

Of course this is a concern<\/a>, because bullies willalways look stronger to stupid people than they in fact are, and leaders with genuine inner strength will not look strong to stupid people. But if Joe just does what he did in the latest SOTU (and we know he can, bcause we watched him pull it off), people who are not brainwashed will get the point.<\/p>\n
