John Fetterman is truly an idiot. He gave a virtual speech at that midterm Republican convention praising Trump for "supporting steelworkers." Meanwhile, the reality perspective is here. usw.org/trump-stabs-...

I was driving east on the PA Turnpike towards New Jersey, looking up at the sky in case a plane appeared (and considering Flight 93, I wasn't far off). I realize 9/11 is an applause line 2 Cruz, but we lost 17 people from Bucks County, PA. When it comes 2 that awful event, 25 yrs. could be 25 days.

Clooney was one of the first people to kick Biden to the curb after that admittedly bad debate (the optics anyway), and then he and his family flew off to France. If you have the means 4 that, ok, but don't think we'll forget that you bailed on us.

When the Supreme Court was instituted, we had 9 federal appeals courts, with a justice in charge of each one. Now, we have 13, with some justices in charge of 2 to balance it. There’s the excuse 4 expanding the Court to 13 at a minimum (@ 10-year terms 4 new ones) - should total 15 at least by '30.

IMO, Dr. Anthony Fauci is a patriot for doing his part 2 get this country through COVID (against which Trump refused 2 commit the resources we needed). He doesn’t need the aggravation, but it would be worth it if Fauci sued Megyn Kelly 4 this (h/t to Eschaton). www.mediamatters.org/megyn-kelly/...

So, given the fact that our brave service personnel lost their lives during a supposed "break," that makes them "less dead" somehow? I'll anxiously await the corporate media outcry on this (like what there would be under a Dem president), and I'm sure I'll keep waiting.

Not defending Platner who should drop out at this point (and if you want to blame me for supporting him, go ahead), but I think it’s telling that the Times has no problem with the “R” word in a headline when a certain 47th president isn’t involved.
