Both me the Happy Bachelor and Tropical Soulvangical join in condemning the violence reported at the -trump- rally. You may have noticed the absence of an observation TSV made about Arlington National Cemetery and whether Presidents who did not serve qualify. TSV asked me to withdraw that particular base share because he thought that it wasn't appropriate in light of what happened over the weekend. That said, he takes exception to the apparent media spin that the attempt on -trump's- life somehow -helped- -trump- by, among other things, raising equity stakes in DJT. This is because if -trump- does win, it's going to be the media that'll have an even harder time in the post-election era than -trump- will. After the election, the media will have to explain to the people why they gave -unfactual- backing coverage to one candidate over the other, and TSV will not allow them to stonewall or engage in denial. Because if it is true that the media's being encouraged by political operatives this year, TSV doesn't see that encouragement and assistance continuing after the election. And that's because TSV is an outsider in not seeing these things transactionally. As far as he's concerned, transactional is not factual. Hence he will refuse the Donkey Committee's insistence that he somehow make an artificial dividing line between the election season and the post-election season, and pretend that the latter can't bear to hold on the former. He'll just say NO, and he's not going to waste time explaining why or engage in idle chat accordingly. Anybody who tries to tell him to just "get over it" should really -right now- themselves get over trying to tell him that. Such a request runs counter to his obligation to get -trump- to reach out to Biden voters by promising to adhere to a list of demands TSV knows Biden would fulfill in a second term. If -trump- refuses in some way, that's the same as losing the victory that he had gained in the election season proper. TSV's been doing more studying into historical documents like the Federalist Papers, and he sees that we the people actually have a lot more rights than we've been exercising thus far. Also with respect to the Supreme Court and other political establishments, TSV remembers a refrain made by the founders that our rights come from God, and as such they -don't- come from the politicians. This he'll adhere to stubbornly no matter what arguments the political junkie culture will try to throw his way, because very likely these will be logicial fallacies such as red herring or slogan argument, because what else are they ever going to have?
