Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.

One of the many irritating things about MSNBC hosts is that they won't say the names of foreign political figures because they think that will be too confusing for the viewers. This is so patronizing and insular.

Chinese manufacturers are now making electric cars which are at least as good as Teslas, for a fraction of the price. Why are American investors unable to understand this?

Apparently the 1960s happened before the invention of writing, making it impossible for the author to know anything of that remote time.

Most Congressional Democrats need to study in Kat's School of Politics.

The fossil fuel industry thanks CNN for their service. This is a ludicrous deflection. Also, sorry if my being able to breathe upsets you.

It's a moronic idea that will backfire on you.

Your claim not to be surprised by something is of no interest whatsoever to anybody else.

In May 1940 Churchill overturned the Neville Chamberlain government and led the Conservatives into a coalition with the Labour Party. This took place at the same time as Hitler was launching his military offensive in the west. A wartime crisis is exactly when you need to fire bad leadership.

How can any major political party be so bad at politics?

Joe is right here. Similarly, servicemen in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand often came back from WWII more progressive than when they left. That contributed to post-war social reforms and decolonization. See the book by Jonathan Fennell, Fighting the People's War.

Let's not forget the disgraceful treatment of Joy by MSNBC management that prepared the way for this.

A new low in NYT both-sides. He was charged with two counts of first degree murder.

"Pregnancy-related crimes" you say ? I guess NBC is aiming for the Gilead Commanders demographic.

Thank you for your leadership. Please run against Jeffries in the primary.

It's more than a bit self-contradictory that the extreme right loves those famously gay Spartans.

This is what we want to hear. Please challenge Chuck Schumer for the minority leadership.

He 'noted' wrong. There is no such word as Kirk in German. The nearest German word, Kirke, means the Greek goddess of magic Circe, of whom I am guessing he is not a fan.

"Let's pretend nothing is happening and hope nobody notices us" seems to be the strategy here.

Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1776 "Neither Pagan nor Mahometan nor Jew ought to be excluded from the civil rights of the Commonwealth because of his religion". Yes, I know he was a slave-owning hypocrite, but excluding Muslims was not the Founders' intention. Jefferson owned two copies of the Koran.

Firstly, that was Italy. Secondly, joking about Nazis is sick. Thirdly, Britain and America would be lucky to have the train system that the Germans do,

This now seems to be standard American English, but as you point out, the formulation makes no sense. How do these things start?

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Chuck Schumer has showed us time and time again that he is wholly incapable of understanding and meeting the dangerous moment we are in.

It’s time for new (and better) Democratic leadership.
