To be a little bit fair here. It’s unlikely she would have been the nominee if Biden had bowed out like he said he would and there was a real primary process. Inflation made the admin unpopular and she couldn’t run away from that in 3 months! I think she did run a good campaign with all that.

And even more to the point, the people who were getting hosed by the shutdown and who will be hurt by Rs policies are the EXACT people Ds have lost. Failure on so many fronts. And unfortunately Durbin is my Senator. There was no pressure for him to do this other than whatever he will personally get.

Love you Tim but they got absolutely nothing. Rs “promising” a vote on ACA is bullshit. If Ds didn’t care about any concessions, they should have just let the CR pass originally and let Rs own what happened without hurting so many people. Total failure.

The moms of these guys should give them the I’m so disappointed in you look and throw a sandal at them when they see them next.

The DHS bought two luxury Gulfstream private jets for Kristi Noem and other top officials at a cost of $172 million, per the New York Times.

Can we just have today please JVL?

Okay

Really? Do you actually read what he writes or just follow comments he posts? You are going to stand by what he writes is trite? Did you read his article about military leaders having to choose between their oath and complying with their commander? You don’t have to agree with him but be accurate

In the olden days you found them at work or in bars

I married one too and we have cats. Are we a cult? Is Tom our leader? Will there be Cool-Aid? 😁

I hope he has something better to say to you than he has lately to the American people

Well I’ll have to give that a listen! Hope that isn’t a fib.

So apropos that they are offering $50k bonuses and STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS!

This is why I follow you diligently. Your term precision can frustrate me at times because I understand the sentiment people are trying to express. However, you are a rational, smart analyst of the situation we find ourselves in with actual recommendations on moving forward. But you are a curmudgeon

That is a very well written article and a call to all of us to stand up.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

They seem perfectly capable of picking up trash in Grant Park, Lincoln Park, and on the River Walk while ICE floats by in their boats taking propaganda videos.

Okay yes dorky but there should be a flood of this by all democrats, in every state, on all news networks and social media. They should be taking this message hard to all voters.

Right? Wtf happened to the “eliminating waste and fraud” crowd? Are all the $$$$$ producing something for the American tax payers? Please tell me what. Are we a lot safer because she watched the chicken man heckle her?

This would all be quite funny if it wasn’t so dangerous.

Ice Barbie surveys the battlefield…..what a heroine. Clearly military deployment under a national emergency is required! “Portland is burning,” which obviously means she needs to save the chicken man from being BBQ’ed. She is such a giver.

Yes. He is alarmed, but it ends with a directive:”the rest of us, whether we’re elected officials or ordinary citizens, should do everything we can to let our fellow Americans in uniform know that if they risk their careers and even their freedom to protect the Constitution, we will stand with them”

Where are all these people coming from? I just do not understand how a normal person is not only indifferent to the suffering ICE is causing to human beings, but as you said, they all seem truly gleeful to impart it. I’m not naive. I know these kinds of people exist, but how have they found so many?

6 months? Really 6 months. Ffs!

Dolan likened him to St. Paul. Shocked the Vatican has nothing to say about that!

They ran them on Fox in Chicago today as well during both nfl games.

I guess the algorithms are just showing me the snarky responses then. I expect it’s annoying for you to get ridiculous comments. I think I just am looking for some hope or inspiration and maybe that’s too much to ask for given the circumstances.

Reading all your post tonight. I realize sarcasm is fun and generally I find you insightful, but your comments tonight do not seem to help anyone who wants to defend democracy. Many overreach in their comments, but slamming on people who are frustrated isn’t helpful to what I thought you cared about

This is disgusting. He knows people will die from preventable disease. He clearly wants to wash his own conscience. If there is a god, god will remember what he has done.
