Take another look at Joe Biden. His is the presidency progressives have been waiting for. ( www.theguardian.com )

The tragedy of Joe Biden is that people see his age, his frailty and his ailing poll numbers and they miss the bigger story. Which is that his has been a truly consequential presidency, even a transformational one. In less than three years, he has built a record that should unify US progressives, including those on the radical...

The gerrymandered house and the gerry-landed Senate make this impossible. Put whatever candidate you want to replace Biden. The results will be the same or worse.

We can't even fill basic pentagon positions thanks to "Coach." But Biden should have unilaterally fixed everything. Sure.

You mean the railroad thing where he got them the sick days they wanted after the news cycle stopped paying attention?

Biden’s policy and legislative record as President are far more impressive than anyone expected, and the author of this piece outlines how and why.

No one you're responding to read it.

Who do you think would have done better and how?

I'm asking in good faith, how would Sanders have done it? He'd have the same Senate and same House.

Palin’s Civil War Threat a Sign of Very Bad Things to Come ( nymag.com )

Here’s the scary thing that ensures this rhetoric will only escalate: By labeling his multiple indictments “election interference” (the very crime of which he is charged by both federal and state prosecutors), Trump has now made his “rigged election” claim for 2024 well over a year in advance. If and when he loses the...

If he wins despite the massive “election interference” he faces, he is fully justified in unleashing the vengeance that is so prominent a part of his 2024 message. If he seems to lose … it’s clearly grounds for whatever extra-constitutional redress he and his supporters choose.

This was all true before she opened her mouth. He's been laying the foundation for that for 3 years. He continues to, despite his indictments for doing so.

The Fox GOP debate melted down when the word “climate” was mentioned ( www.motherjones.com )

After the network showed a clip of a young conservative activist saying that climate change was the number one issue for young voters, Fox News moderator Martha MacCallum asked for a show of hands in response to her question, “Do you believe human behavior is causing climate change?”...

It's less that he's bought and more that he's hoping to be bought. He's seeking donations from other people with a vested interest in denying human made climate change. He's not bought, he's for sale.

They're not all stupid, but they're all catering to stupid. With the exception of Chris Christie which is why he's so far behind.

These free speech absolutists sure like to ban books.

I'm not a Marxist. I'm not a lesbian. I'm not a nazi. I'm not afraid of being exposed to these ideals, these human beings, or others. I can try to understand them, I can accept them, I can choose to reject them. I can talk to my children about them and let them decide. I can't do any of that if someone else decided I can't read about them.

Lesbians don't call for anyone to die, otherwise go away, or hide ideologies other than their own. Marxism is an economic policy. There is no stance on banning knowledge as far as I know. They criticize some ideals and reject them.

Authoritarians repress ideas and thought. Because they cannot hold power when people know there is an alternative. There is no opportunity to criticize.

I was taught about nazis in school. What they did, how they treated people. I decided I didn't like what they did. I wasn't taught about lesbians. If I had been, I'd have taken them over the nazis.

The more accurate headline is "One Idiot Posts a Letter to The Site Formerly Known as Twitter."

“I done had auntie-to-nephew, mother-to-son type of talks with her."

If Trump takes that to mean they had a romantic relationship I worry about his family dynamics.

This is the answer. She doesn't just get replaced instantaneously and she absolutely doesn't get her committee positions filled quickly, if at all. She took things too far to turn back. The GOP will stall any committee replacement for Feinstein. It's already too late. At this point, pulling a Weekend at Bernie's is unfortunately the preferable solution.
