29.06.2025 22:11 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Indeed it would be better. But we'd still be in crisis because press and pundits would be covering every Republican complaint with the same -- if not more -- urgency as Trump's inhumanities are being covered now.

18.04.2025 12:31 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Unfortunately, it wasn't just Trumpers pretending things were terrible. In the debate, Harris wasn't even allowed to say America was better off than 4 years ago. Incredible. Mainstream media just as culpable as MAGA, maybe moreso.

22.03.2025 14:11 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0If anyone is driven away from opposing the scourge of humanity because Biden wants to help raise a few bucks -- which is pretty much all he's capable of doing -- we're in worse shape than I thought, which is pretty darned bad.
22.03.2025 13:45 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Fine. He may not be much if any help but at least he won't be going to Mara Lago with Fetterman or doing podcasts with Bannon like Newsome. Not seeing the harm. Just need more Bernies and AOCs.
