It’s a major campaign asset to have a popular and respected former president from your party. Don’t you think, Mr. Romney?

Biden’s campaign should be all over the news networks to ensure they are carrying this rally just as they did most of Trump’s spectacles since 2015.

Sad day for them, Josh has a great business model based on common hatred of the enemy.

What happens when we have to go back to arguing about whether the top income bracket should be 36 or 39% or something esoteric like that…

If only! But there will be years of fighting still ahead:
Covid and vaccine management
White supremacist terrorism
Gerrymandering
Voter suppression

But there the audience is mostly in agreement about the broad strokes, and all the debate becomes some incremental thing about this or that specific legislation.

B-o-o-r-ing compared with shakedowns of allies, russkie funding of the president, etc.

The cowardice is what is stunning. They already have all the guns, bad motives, defective brains…why so fukking cowardly? If you read thru, they are putting notes on people’s doors saying we have been logging addresses and we are your worst nightmare, the people with all the guns…

You know what they say about academia: the fights are so bitter precisely because the stakes are so small …

(Kissinger likes to take the credit for this aphorism but he’s lying, of course.)

What about something innocuous, like home gardening or how to really get that grout clean in the shower.
