Given the recent pro-Palestinian protests around the world and on many university campuses, it seems strange if not surprising that neither genocide nor the continuing flow of U.S. weapons to Israel were mentioned during the first (and maybe only) 2024 presidential debate.

Instead, it declared that Biden has been "an admirable president."

The most staggering feature of these elections, leaving aside the ritualistic savaging of the Tories, was the wholly lopsided nature of the share of votes relative to the winning of seats. "This election," the Electoral Reform Society solemnly declared, "saw Labour and the Conservatives receive their joint lowest vote share on record, with a combined 57.4%." That did not prevent the two major parties from snaring the lion's share. Labour received 33.7% of the vote yet obtained 63.2% (411 seats) of the 650 on offer, making it the most disproportionate on record. The Tories, despite the bloodbath, could still count…

By 1776 gendered and racialized violence was already deeply ingrained within the white settlers. It was the product of what it took from 1619/20 forward to seize and hold territory, to enslave and keep enslaved at least 500,000 Black people and to control deviant white settlers. (For context as to the latter, the Salem Witch trials were in 1692/93.)

It was cruel. Sinister cruel. While Donald Trump was always going to relish the chance to be not only economical with the truth but simply inventive about it, Joe Biden, current Commander in Chief of the United States, leader of the self-described Free World, seemed a vanishing shadow, longing for soft slippers and the fireplace with cocoa, a case of comfort rather than the battling rage of politics. 
Donald J. Trump is a pathological liar and a political predator, and once he realized on the debate stage that neither President Joe Biden nor the feckless CNN moderators would offer any challenges to his lies or falsities, he went for the kill. Biden's tired voice and overall pathetic performance undoubtedly earned him no support from fence sitters or independents, but it is unlikely that Trump's braggadocio won him any new adherents. 
It was, of course, not a presidential debate. Not a surprise. Trump came in ready to repeat what he tells audiences at his rallies — raging, lying by the microminute, promising perfection and spewing hate at Biden. Biden — flustered, bumbling at times, stumbling over facts, at least tried to answer specific questions from the
