Clearly it has happened, and it has been accelerated and publicized by the Biden failings and the attempted Trump assassination.  But it was already underway.  If you need a single, unambiguous sign of it, I would cite MSNBC pulling off Morning Joe for a morning, for fear they would say something nasty about Trump. Another […]

You guys might like him. I think he's the best political analyst alive - right or left. He backs every position with hard data usually from multiple sources.

It is rumored that it was their first meeting and they were glued together for 3 days straight. It's also said that Clapton thought Allman was a better guitarist.
