America has deindustrialized so much they can't even manufacture consent
I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

Correct me if I’ve missed something but they’re still only a single carrier battle group there, right? “Go to war” in this context is…air strikes? The US has been doing this my entire adult life, lazily lobbing cruise missiles at someone. If Trump thinks this will hold the public’s attention…Lol.

I've received very few bits of insight from random strangers in bars in my lifetime, but "Punks are good people pretending to be shitty ones; hippies are shitty people pretending to be good ones" qualifies. It rarely fails me.

Engaging in a debate over whether or not he’s “kidding“ will paint you into a corner in which “But he’s just kidding!” means it’s not a big deal.
Treat it the way the FBI would treat it when they show up at your door after you make “jokes“ about assassinating someone. Your intent is irrelevant.

To be clear, the big strategy they're pursuing here is to wait for the GOP to break its worthless promise yet again and then go to the electorate and say "We trusted them and gave them what they wanted, and they lied!" which is definitely a thing voters like and respect.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

Remember when the head of the cop union in Chicago promised "800-1000" cops would quit if Brandon Johnson won and it was actually six, all of whom were "quitting" by taking a lucrative early retirement.
The essence of Bari Weiss: not reporting, but crude partisan propaganda presented in the form of reporting—and usually pronounced from the mouths of anonymous sources which likely don't exist. Expect this sort of prolefeed at CBS News soon.

The key divide in the Democratic Party during Trump II is between people who want to turn the clock back to 2014 and people who recognize a clean break with the past when they see one. "Let's get back to the way things were" isn't a viable vision for the future and some people have no other.
That our current system was unable to prevent this is a sign it probably should not recover

I refuse to deplore "political violence" when it is made so explicit that it is the adjective, not the noun, that troubles the people so openly weeping and rending their garments right now. Either we all have a ticket in the Victim of Gun Violence Lotto or none of us do.
