If Joe Biden had been in the same sort of form that Donald Trump is in, and Donald Trump, it's worth saying, had two parents who lived a long time and did pretty well,
then we would never have had that scandal in 2024.
But I think what's happened is the Democratic Party and the left has just decided that because Biden had to go through that, then Trump does too.
And so they're going to try and speak it, will it into existence when it's just not there.
Yeah, there are two things about this that annoy me.
The first is I really do think that the institutional left has to decide whether or not it's acceptable to criticize judges.
I don't like the way that Trump sometimes talks about judges.
I don't like the way people around Trump sometimes talk about judges.
But that is a consistent view that I have.
The left spent the last four years suggesting that the Supreme Court was corrupt and illegitimate and needed to be packed.
And now every time the Trump administration so much as says that a lower court ruling is wrong, which is fine, then we're apparently living in the final days of the republic.
So that's annoying.
The bigger problem here I think is that figures such as Neera Tanden live in this little bubble and as a result they
receive information that is incorrect, and they may never actually see the correction.
So it's not just that Neera Tanden has a false impression of what is currently the problem.
And I use that word currently advisedly.
There is such a thing as right-wing violence.
We've seen some of it.
We saw January 6th, which was a pretty bad illustration of right-wing violence.
But in the last three or four years, leftist violence has been much worse than right-wing violence.
