Look it up yourself

The supreme court case was a big deal. It was all over the national news,  I remember it well here in my distant tower,  I didn't make much of it at the time because it was just another perfidious act of the Trump-loaded supreme court.  But like I said it was front page on both  Chicago newspapers. 

And Beagles was right there,  Right there in Michigan, right there in one of the gerrymandered districts (even if it was big, even if it was cold, even if it was in a state that begins with an M, or whatever reason Beagles was claiming it could not be gerrymandered), and he claims to read the local paper and watch some of the tv news. And yet he claims to know nothing about it.   How is this possible? 

I suspect, and arguing with Beagles in this venue over the last few years has lent credence to this, that Beagles follows the advice of our childhood hero, Davy Crockett: "Be sure your right and then go ahead." only in his case he doesn't bother to be sure he is right because he knows he is right, so he just goes ahead.  Any facts that bolster his worldview stick in his mind, whereas any facts that oppose his worldview drop by the wayside.  Makes it kind of pointless having a conversation with him.

Why didn't the Supremes order a do-over?  It was in the national news, It had to have been in all over the local paper and the local tv station.  The reason was right there.  Look it up yourself.  It will take like five minutes of internet research. Of course it will make your beloved Trump-loaded supreme court look bad.  It will make them look like pirates or bad guys or whatever you remember from the Lone Ranger so likely it will not be able to penetrate your skull..


On behalf of the democratic party if the price of getting Beagles's vote is to nominate a racist like George Wallace we decline.  Unlike the so-called republican party, which has become the party of Trump, we do not encourage that sort of thing.


I still see no explanation of what the loose cannon metaphor has to do with Trump. when the pirates are closing in on your ship, a loose cannon is better than no cannon at all. I suspect that there isn't any.
