Did we just fall out of a coconut tree

Did we just fall out of a coconut tree? Or do we exist in the context of all in which we live and what came before us?

Opposition Research against Kamala Harris

It's clear that Kamala Harris is going to be the Democratic Nominee. As such we are starting to see the attacks against her, most recently there are news stories about how Kamala Harris got her start in California democratic politics. Specifically that she "slept her way to the top" by having an affair with Willie Brown (Brown being the speaker of the CA state house and the most powerful democrat in the CA machine.) Do you think this type of attack will land with the general public or will it backfire? I suspect that if Kamala is savvy she will lean into the attack and say "yes i was forced to do unsavory things to start my career, and im running against Donald Trump / Willie Brown / powerful men, so that the next woman to enter politics does not have to be in that situation." What do you guys think, is it a well orchestrated attack or are republicans teeing up Kamala Harris for an easy home run?

Subscriber content

Need a bit more subscriber content to keep up the subscription. While I appreciate that you take the long game most of the time, moments like the recent one (Trump assassination attempt, JD Vance pick, Biden dropout-or-not debate) is really when I do want to hear a reaction from you. The monthly AMA is great but I'd suggest extra perks for subscribers.

Vance VP Pick

Is the mini GOP civil war between the nat-cons and neo-cons only among elites? Or will it trickle down to the actual GOP electorate?

What do you think of political betting sites like Polymarket? I don't really like gambling, but on the other hand, I think political pundits should have some skin in the game if they want credibility.
