The first of what I hope is a relentless string of DCCC ads for the dare-to-care twenties.
She has skill, experience, and, therefore, confidence. Knows how to run these sessions. Genial and has not (yet?) insulted anyone’s intelligence.
One could discuss her personality as it grew out of her family background and north-eastern origin – class plays a role – but that may be as much as we need say about it.
In and of itself, this is an outlandish statement.
It tells us all we need to know about Graham’s credibility.
I think Dems should really work to emphasize that Qanon is not just a crackpot conspiracy theory, but actually a deeply malevolent revival of the medieval Jewish blood libel legend – make the antisemitism stick to Republicans like shit to a shovel.
Yes.
Even conspiracy theory does not capture the degree of lunacy and ill will on display.
The entire Republican response to the impeachment, the trial, the siege and MTG is like a gold mine. A wise person, knows the facts are going to come out, they are immutable and to dispute them will be a seriously unfavorable and visible contrast. The Ad blitz opportunity is just endless. This is a battle they shouldn’t fight, but they are.
I think ‘paranoid ideation’ would fit, but that’s just me. And I’m not a mental health professional.
Wow…I just might need to donate to the DCCC. i haven’t in years, preferring to choose my races.
But this is good!!!
“Washington Republicans have made their choice – they chose to cave to the murderous QAnon mob that has taken over their party.”
Rooting for the phrase “cop killers” to appear soon in a political ad near you.
I also like the fact that he doesn’t sound like he is talking down.
He elevates the listener.
It is a gift.
…or that Joe chose wisely. To me, she’s the embodiment of the image he wants his WH to look like to the world.
I agree with that completely - we own the moral highground right at the moment. We really do need to make lots of hay out of it.
And to some extent she played that role in the Obama Administration, as press secretary for the State Department.
God, can you imagine having to keep all these details in mind for each press conference? It seems overwhelming, unless she has organizational schemes and support staff to help. She keeps flipping from page to page in her notebook because she knows she has the information there, ready to answer each question. She’s awesome!
Exactly…hang this around their necks. It’s the best possible messaging opportunity…We need to learn from all the outrageous, yet successful Rep messaging in the past. The beauty of it is…there is no hyperbole or stretching of the circumstances.
Truly…Willie Horton Hear’s a Who?
It is not some “giant cloud.” It is the constant , shrill screams of Fox “News,” Breitbart. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, the Blaze, Glen Beck, Drudge, NewsMax and so many other sources who are either criminal liars or truly delusional miscreants who would not know truth if it hit them in the face. Until these polluters of public dialog are nullified, extremist personalities will continue to suck up public attention.
I suspect that a significant number don’t actually believe the crazy as much as they’re simply willing to at least pretend to go along with whatever awful things are said about people they hate. They’re just angry, aggrieved people who nod in agreement with any wild-eyed charge made against those they blame for changing the world. Still, I agree that entirely too many people actually believe this nonsense, but then there’s a reason that in the early days of the internet authorities had to repeatedly warn against sending money to Nigerian princes.
Just felt this bears repeating.
Really enjoying the press briefings these day. Like an episode of “The West Wing”
