John, can you please call “tariffs” by their correct name? it’s “import duties” or “import taxes”’

Thought for you. Arsenal broke Man City. They tussled with Liverpool but they understood Liverpool was not an existential threat for them. Then came Arteta’s Arsenal. Man City saw their destroyer, the next dominants. And they couldn’t cope. They broke. Arsenal is the next dominants!!

They might want to get rid of ALL their daytime both sliders including Ari and bring in new independent talent that can energize the other 50%

They might want to just unleash their talent, sans editors and corporate direction to do what they are good at

MSNBC in particular must get rid of morning Joe. That is pure trash

I continue to marvel at the inability of MSNBC and CNN to understand their audience. They failed them immeasurably going into the elections and have completely lost them post election. They might want to look to what the independent guys are doing. They might want to get rid of editors and producers

On the one hand I see your point but on the other, it seems to me that that’s what Americans voted for. No? We should not pretend that they didn’t know what they were voting for. He told them. He was a convicted felon. Unqualified in every way, but they still voted for him!

The pearl clutching is total BS. It’s why the left loses the critical fights with their hollier than you attitude. This is how you use power when you have it. Pardoning your only surviving son accused of trivial crimes should be, is, par for the course.

So Biden pardoned his son Hunter. I would have been extremely disappointed if he had passed up the chance to pardon his only surviving whose crimes, in the scheme of American politics, were trivial. Save me the morality bullshit and wake the fuck up to the use of power. 😎

The rapture about to happen to the Democratic Party (already stealthily happening) is of a scale that is so severe but no one seems to see

The media must examine the cowardly nature of the Democrats and how they have alienated their natural constituencies everywhere in the ridiculous fool’s errand of trying to appeal to conservatives.

I think they have to speak to the deeper real implications of his actions. They have to examine the racism (white and white-adjacent racism) that got us here. They have to speak to the colossal failure of the Democratic Party to act like a national party

Corporate media have to find a new way to cover this Trump administration. They have to speak particularly to the non-Fox audience completely differently. We are uninterested in the day to day pearl clutching. We know who the fuck he is and what he wants to

You actually make my point. There is a marked neglect, cowardice and ineptitude in the party leadership. Candidates across the board have to be supported equitably consistent with the goal of winning NATIONWIDE, everywhere.

This has been the hallmark of the weak kneed cowardice and delusion of the democrats since Bill Clinton. That somehow right wingers, MAGA will be persuaded to vote for them because they “moderated” while actively alienating their base on the left. If it wasn’t so stupid, it would be funny

If they started tomorrow actively campaigning in those and other states, the electoral map would be drastically different come 2028

I think democrats ceding “red” states to the republican is bonkers. It’s silly and in fact a betrayal to the electorate. In some states, Florida, Texas., Mississippi, Alabama, the demographics actually favor them. They have to act like a national party and compete everywhere.
