After kicking off today’s Ruminant with a few reflections on his pesky first name, Jonah soon embarks on a thorough analysis of Joe Biden’s rise to the presidency and the intellectual insecurities that often come packaged with the Oval Office. An eclectic potpourri follows as Jonah explores the distinction between assassination and murder, his relationship with a top British cabinet official, and the hypocrisy of European nations regarding the abortion debate. It all ends with a more lighthearted assessment of the differences between Hollywood movies and real life.Show Notes:- The Remnant with Noah Phillips- The Remnant with Noah Rothman- David Bernstein’s work for Reason- Dana Milbank: “Give Biden a Break”- Mitt Romney: “America is in Denial”- Vice presidents who became presidents themselves- The Shinzo Abe assassination- Boris Johnson’s resignation- Assasination versus murder- Michael Gove- The EU condemns Dobbs- The Remnant with Megan McArdle- Jonah’s twitter thread on political movies
