It’s funny how Trump and GOP bashed Biden for being dismissive of consumer sentiment but then … (checks notes) … responds dismissively to the latest consumer sentiment polls. apple.news/AmliFmXBJTJK...

apple.newsAmericans feel worse than ever, a consumer survey shows. The White House says that’s bunk. Who’s right? β€” MarketWatchSurveys on consumer sentiment and consumer confidence tell different stories about the U.S. economy

WTAF?!? I mean Thiessen would dream up this dreck, but the fact that WaPo would publish it merely encourages our demented leader to think he *can* cut a deal on Greenland. You used to be better than this WaPo. (A former subscriber)

A lease agreement modeled on GuantΓ‘namo Bay would be a win-win-win for the U.S., Greenland and Denmark, Marc A. Thiessen writes.

Arguing about whether or not we’re experiencing autocracy or fascism or constitutional crisis is beside the point. Every small freedom we lose is gone forever unless we’re willing to fight now to keep them. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

And here’s the rub. Trump’s definition of antisemitism turns more on blocking criticism of the Israeli gov’t rather than looking for real antisemitic behaviors. It also equates ANY pro-Palestinian speech with antisemitism. Free speech is a now a right only available to some under the regime.

What I think ... 1. Biden accomplished a lot 2. Biden should have dropped after the mid-terms 3. Dem post-mortem can't blame Biden alone Ds must deal with aging pols (wtf Feinstein?) who stand in the way of the next gen of leaders rather than using their remaining influence to mentor rising stars.

Democrats, under immense pressure from by advisers and pundits and reporters to ape some canned line or other about Joe Bidenβ€”his age and health and presidencyβ€”should try something truly radical: deciding what they really think, and saying that. www.offmessage.net/p/in-defense...
