# life: and so the short run matters, by John.

<<  Good Wednesday morning, and happy Liberation Day. This is Jack Blanchard, off to panic-buy Yorkshire Tea and Scotch whisky before the tariffs kick in.  >>️

<<  Fears on the Hill: In particular, the numerous free-traders in the GOP’s ranks on the Hill are feeling pretty darn uncomfortable about what’s coming. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said he hopes the president’s plan is ultimately to use the threat of tariffs to force other nations to strip back their own. “In the long run, [it] will probably work,” he said. “The problem is that in the long run, we’re all dead. And so the short run matters.”  >>

Now he’s serving as one of Trump’s closest advisers, staying overnight at Mar-a-Lago and attending virtually every high-level meeting by his side. There are reports that he’s effectively living at the club. All of that was already inspiring headlines last month like, “Elon Musk may already be overstaying his welcome in Trump’s orbit.” >>

# life: They woke up in a body bag, by Van.

<< 'We woke up in a body bag': Van Jones makes stunning admission about why Trump steamrolled the establishment. >>️

️

<< After suggesting that the liberal political establishment is "all screwed up" and detached from the electorate and its wants and needs, Jones likened the media's predictions in the lead-up to the election to the ancient practice whereby a haruspex would read omens from animal entrails. >>️

# life: POTUS race, an extreme RAG-time revisited, they moved from Mr. Bernie to Mr. Donald.

<< In the final New York Times/Siena College national poll in late October, nearly two-thirds of voters said the government was “mostly working to benefit itself and the elites,” rather than “the people and the country.” Eighty-two percent of Trump voters said so, twice as many as Kamala Harris voters. >>

<< The idea resonated in particular with men and younger voters, the poll found — groups that Mr. Trump especially courted in this election and that Mr. Sanders did well with in his Democratic primary campaigns in 2016 and 2020. >>

# life: Potus race, Kamala knows her jazz

<< a video showing Harris emerging from a record store in Washington DC has recently gained massive traction on social media. The footage, taken in May 2023, shows her engaging with journalists while displaying and talking about the records she had purchased. This video clip was notably shared and reposted among the European jazz community – not people you’d necessarily think would be hugely interested in the musical tastes of US presidential candidates. >>

<< Harris’s purchases included three classic jazz albums by notable African American artists: Charles Mingus’s 1972 album Let My Children Hear Music, Roy Ayers’ 1976 Everybody Loves the Sunshine, and the 1959 collaboration of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong on Porgy and Bess. >>️

<< Liking and knowing jazz, in some circles at least, suggests sophistication, intellectualism, and a leaning towards advocacy for cultural unity through diversity. The improvisational and creative elements found in jazz might also translate to a degree of flexibility in her politics. >>

<< The love of music is not necessarily an electoral strategy. But it would be interesting to find out which approach resonates most with voters ahead of the coming US election: scattergun and with no particular demographic focus, or targeted and consistent. >>
