The "talk" being to follow the constitution. How is that controversial?

It’s an important job. He reminds me many mornings not to watch Joe.

He’s kind of a big deal.

They have also benefited from Target’s self inflicted issues.

I’d expect them to hold steady and recoup margins until consumer spending drops. Just depends what end of the market they cater to and competition factors.

The average person thinks most politicians are terrible. The Dems don’t themselves any favor by ignoring ways to differentiate themselves on issues that average Americans care about. Term limits, banning stock purchases by members of congress, mandatory retirement ages, and ethics reform would help.

Nobody can try to claim the Republican Party supports free market economics anymore. Everything is about control.

I’m thinking the Dems need to run on nothing less than remaking American democracy.

End Citizens United, totally reform the corrupt and broken SCOTUS, a new voting rights act, ban gerrymandering everywhere.

And give Trump figures who broke the law fair trials, and ban them from federal jobs.

Why not just release the existing comprehensive investigation? Only a criminal does this to cover up the original.

WaPo is a sad excuse of what it was. Just explaining things away when if this was Biden, they’d have it on the front page.

Maybe if you remove the rusty part you’ll be fine? Concern over tetanus perhaps.

And highlighting how Trump’s big beautiful bill reinstated bonus depreciation for private jets.

Not to mention humans are selfish. Avg. voter struggles with abstract concepts. They see what happens to them / their social circles and what is easy to understand. ICE raids and no government services = easy. For once they’re seeing the impact of GOP policies w/o Dems blocking.

And no conversation ever occurs about reducing defense spending, one of the biggest buckets in the federal budget.

You nailed this last year too: www.nytimes.com/athletic/594...

It's not hard to see when both parties are so inherently disliked. The average American views most politicians as the same - just on a spectrum of bad. They think they're all self interested and care more about retaining power than doing what's right for the average person.

Also where is the money actually going? Government spending is up per public records. But they keep claiming to cut spending. It doesn’t add up.

It’s more self perception. a lot of this data is based on self identification vs average policy positions so it’s all subjective and varies based on issues. In many cases the US middle has moved the right and in other issues it’s moved the other way.
