The memification and apathy over the weekend’s shooting speaks loudest to this political malaise we entered before Trump even took office. Right now, the world is asking questions about the assassination of Donald Trump. Did the shooter have nazi affiliations? Maybe. Will the pointy end of the Republican movement being shot at by an AR-15 cause conservatives to consider gun restrictions? Probably not. Is it the first political assassination attempt to be memed? Almost certainly.

The Simpsons writers expertly predicted Donald Trump’s most-recent lawyers when they dreamt up Lionel Hutz. Trump needs a new lawyer, and we found just the guy. HUTZ: Mr Trump, allow me to introduce myself. Lionel Hutz, Attorney at Law. I have to say that this case is the most flagrant abuse of the law since my case against the producers of the film The NeverEnding Story. TRUMP: You work for one of the big Jewish firms? Great lawyers, good to get them on side. HUTZ: No, sir.

As the year draws to a close, Derryn Hinch dons the Nostradamus hat and proffers his predictions for 2024. It is that time of year when pontificating journalists are meant to give their predictions for the upcoming year. And, if it is the end of a decade, they are expected to make predictions about the next ten years. It is dangerous territory. If you are right, few people remember, and if you are wrong, nobody forgets.
