Wave of drones closes Munich airport. And a couple of days ago I read Denmark is freaked out about many drone sightings. They think it's Russia probing NATO resistance. Our president won't stand up to Russia. He calls together all the generals to show how tough he is, but he won't challenge Putin.

I think MSNBC overreacted to his statement. I'll miss his voice. If they felt it necessary, maybe a reprimand would have been more appropriate.

Trump has a unique negotiating style. He spots the opponent every thing it wants before starting, then hopes his personal charms will win him concessions. It’s not working very well.

Hearing Texas Republicans pointing to Illinois as how both sides are redistricting sounds a little shallow from here in North Carolina, a state that elects Democratic governors but where 10 of 13 congressional districts go to Republicans.

It appears the only refugees we welcome must be white. That's what America has become.
Exclusive: US diplomats asked if non-whites qualify for Trump refugee program for South Africans
In early July, the top official at the U.S. embassy in South Africa reached out to Washington asking for clarification on a contentious U.S. policy: could non-whites apply for a refugee program geared toward white South Africans if they met other requirements?

If I understand it right, Japan has to invest $550 billion into the US, and we get 90% of the profit. If true, that's just extortion. I don't like that the United States is that kind of country now.

A lot of folks in liberal circles lump Hakeem Jeffries in with Chuck Schumer as an ineffectual advocate, but he's been speaking on the House floor for more than 6 hours to delay the vote on the Bloated Ugly Bill. Good on him!

At a time of near-record inequalities of income and wealth, Senate Republicans have passed the largest redistribution of income upward in the history of this nation.
It will now be voted on in the House.

The day after the Iran strike, I said I couldn't find a reason to oppose crippling Iran's nuclear program. It was a success. Then we spent a week arguing over whether it was "obliterated" or not. Only Trump could snatch a stupid controversy from the jaws of victory.

Addendum: I'm not saying trashing law firms and higher education and unfair deportations shouldn't be opposed, those are righteous causes. I'm just saying the same old thing: It's the economy, stupid.
His ratings won't really come down with working folk until they feel the pain of tariffs and realize prices are going up, not down. And when that happens, Democrats must be ready with easily explained solutions that make sense for the working class, not slogans or rallying cries. 2/2
