You are probably right. I was thinking about the 49% of New Yorkers who didn't vote for him. They weren't all wealthy and they were probably hoping he would speak somewhat more to them.

Even a few happy supporters thought it could have been better crafted.

10/ So bottom line: 8 months after Trump starts a massive trade war with China:

- U.S. factory jobs declining
- U.S. families paying thousands for tariffs
- China makes not a single concession
- The world watches Xi bully Trump into surrender

Awesome.

Miller isn't a lawyer but he likes to play one on TV.

Interesting, however, that 10 Republican state AGs did not sign on.

More unnecessary chaos created by a man who understands nothing about the economics of the movie business.

I agree about the need for a cultural change. But the level of gun violence doesn't even seem to register on people for more than a few minutes. This is compounded by the fact that ICE agents are strutting around with guns & assaulting people. There is so much chaos that little gets through.

I think it's time for the Administration to do something besides focusing on ICE raids, sowing economic confusion, and enriching the president.

Gun violence has reached epidemic proportions and it gets lost in the chaos that the Administration has created.

Who is going to break it to Bondi that she doesn't have sentencing power?

The WSJ should also seek Rule 11 sanctions. The defamation suit is baseless.

Sadly, I don't think these people know better. Miller never went to law school. Bondi probably just doesn't know the law. They don't care about getting it right. They care about the soundbite.
