Tropical Soulvangelical has observed that Biden's appearances both in Galveston Texas and in Minnesota took place without the likes of George Clooney or David Axelrod or anyone in the central party trying to take away from that. TSV hopes Biden's Donkeyish enemies have learned their lesson for the time being, seeing how Jake Tapper seemed to have been apparently refused appearance on most late night type shows in trying to promote his anti-Biden book. The book's been out for what appears to be nearly two months, and TSV's relieved that Colbert and Kimmel didn't have Tapper on. Sure both comics TSV expects will do "old" jokes, but they also want to make sure they stand for the value of truth, so Tapper's book appears a bridge too far for them. With respect to Galveston, that was this year's Juneteenth observance which comes a year after media coverage of Biden frozen in place at a Juneteenth event at the White House. In Galveston, he was anything -but- frozen, though Tapper was almost certainly frozen in place in the proverbial sense when Biden warned against those to wish to erase history, and TSV takes it that he wasn't just talking about -trump-. TSV sees it as perfectly justified for Biden to push back against not just personal attacks against -him- but political attacks against his silent plurality of supporters including TSV for standing for things like a stalwart stance in political life. To that end, TSV believes that shortly after Zohran Mamdani won the New York City Donkey primary, there was a phone call between Mamdani and Biden in which TSV believes Biden encouraged Mamdani to keep in touch with Brad Lander, the stalwart in the New York race, and to not let anyone try to get Mamdani down over his socialist leanings. It's one thing, TSV thinks, for a socialist to tell Mamdani that, but that it makes more of a difference for a non-socialist to tell him that. TSV joins the 55% in opposing the Big Ugly Bill and warns against the -trumpists- against even considering a rally type event marking a signature into law, and hopes that the late show comics will continue to make fun of the creaky tanks that will make an appearance at that rally as well as last year's garbage truck.
