And credit to Fritz, he served well in the first and his return was deep and forcing and had him in most points. But Alcaraz changed his return position and started using his full arsenal.

Trump and MAGA continue with their mission to turn the United States into Mordor, complete with the belching smoke, toxic pools, and mindless orcs.

You know that and Cheryl knows that and I know that. But we're dialled in. Most people will see the headlines and the "standing up to Trump wasn't working" headline and think "what a bunch of losers" and it will all just feel hopeless.

But this is what I'm saying -- think how you and everyone is feeling now. It's disastrous. I guarantee a lot of people are in that "fuck it, who cares, there's nothing I can do" mode. And that's truly the victory Trump and Miller want.

I do understand what you're saying, but at a time when Democrats had wind in their sails and the GOP were starting to show their own disarray, it just feels like the they let the air out of their own balloon. An uninspired, demoralized, and defeated electorate is the last thing the Democrats need.

... and "the guy who wants to hurt everyone is just too tough" is about the weakest, most demoralizing message you could be putting out. Even if this is a strategic move, you have to be ready with that message, since so much of modern politics is messaging. The Democrats are so singularly bad at it.

I do agree with you and, look, it's easy for me to sit here and tutty-tut when it's not my country and I'm not facing real prospects of hunger. But I also know, and am sure you'll agree, that so much of politics is public perception, optics, and a sense of a cohesive plan, ...

What a spineless, useless weenie. No wonder the Republican goblins are cackling when this is the opposition. There are a group of young Democrat women and men ready to lead and fight -- time to purge this rotting dead wood.

A funny, heartfelt, moving induction from Dave and a terrific performance from the Killers and Zevon collaborator Waddy Wachtel. Somewhere, Warren is smiling, and enjoying a sandwich.

The Conservatives are denying it but does anyone doubt this is EXACTLY how these toddlers acted? Seriously, CPC man-babies are too emotional to govern.
