PLANES, BRAINS AND AUTOCRATS

Not familiar with the writer, but like his take

PLANES, BRAINS AND AUTOCRATS
Tapper's gotta book, Trump's gotta jet, and America's gotta be kidding me ...
D. EARL STEPHENS

It’s Political Book Season, and you can almost smell the stink, er, ink in the air!

You are going to start hearing a lot from the Inside-the-Beltway, so-called journalists about all the things that were happening, or maybe more importantly not happening, that ultimately led to Democrats’ across-the-board defeats in November.

A big theme in the books will be Joe Biden’s age, and who knew what on the inside of the White House about the man’s physical and mental capacity to actually run for office again.

The only thing I am sure about that damn 2024 election is this: The mainstream media did an absolutely atrocious job of warning us about what was coming if, God forbid, Trump won again. They failed catastrophically to cover the most important story in America since the Civil War: Republicans attack on the rule of law and our Democracy
