I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

During Nixon impeachment of 1974, the issue was NOT why George McGovern lost 1972 election.

The issue was Nixon then. It is Trump now.

If *anyone* *anywhere* in US journalism is planning a story this coming week on "Joe Biden's fitness," .. .

... Look at yourself in the mirror and focus on what is happening right now.

Our problems, NOW, do not involve Joe Biden.
The US makes its military equipment in the US.

ANY journalist in US who is focusing on Biden's cognitive issues (when he never made factually-moronic statements like this), and not Trump's ....
Trump: "We're not looking to make sneakers and t-shirts. We want to make military equipment, we want to make big things. We want to do the AI things with the computers. But the textile -- you know, I'm not looking to make t-shirts, to be honest. I'm not looking to make socks."

Listen, I don't want to presume to be speaking for other people, but: If you are feeling overwhelmed by the stupidity, the chaos, the vile fanaticism, the immeasurable damage and suffering, the specter of global turmoil, just know that I am feeling that too. Because this is just an insane situation.
“While this is a tragedy, it’s also the new reality. We must respond with both purpose and force.”

This is obviously the correct – and only viable – response, and it is based on a clear-sighted analysis of what is happening. But what an absolute disaster this all is, on a global scale.
Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.
