Trump needs/wants his $$$

He’s definitely running but not for Senate. Hope he’s getting good advice.

National Dems need huge changes pretty quickly. These numbers are grim:

Of course we have to try but I don’t see how we ever break through.

They changed after Clinton when all politics became national. I don’t think we are gonna get that genie back in the bottle….

Dems, including Andy Beshear, stress getting new employers for good jobs, protecting public schools - nearly every county’s largest employer - but nothing breaks through. Dems *do* campaign in rural areas but R voters aren’t interested in what they have to say. I honestly don’t know what Dems can do

KY Dems don’t focus on issues involving trans people, which bathroom, or even national immigration, and yet, those are the things that Repubs refuse to shake and say Dems are “imposing.” They used to hate Nancy Pelosi, now its AOC. Democrats here only ever talk about protecting Medicaid and Medicare

I don’t know what Dems can do, Teri. I have volunteered for many Dem campaigns in KY, over more than a decade. It’s such a cult of personality for Repubs. Dems can campaign on issues that should be important to voters, but Rs here wont listen b/c they have lapped all of the national talking points.

Schiff was wrong and you are wrong to defend his vote.

I don’t understand why he is being treated as a serious candidate, by either voters or the New York Times.

Inflation was not the fault of Biden policies, it was declining w/the economy better here than any other globally. Unemployment was low, wages for the lowest earning employees rising. Where was the “objective” media’s effort to set voters straight?

“[Voters]were repelled not just by Mr. Biden’s faltering condition, but also by rising prices and perceived failures of Democratic governance on everything from immigration to energy.”
So why didn’t media on whom most Americans rely for news report honestly about how voters’ perceptions were wrong?

Far more people knew Biden was old and declining than knew how heavy a drug user Elon Musk is and the media is treating Tapper like he has the scoop of the century.

Okay you knew, because you are engaged, or you wouldn’t be on this site. By far, *most* people wouldn’t have any idea the extent he uses (and did as he was rifling through and destroying government agencies.

Not known the extent to which he was using

But come on, the Biden family and his staff covered up that Joe Biden was old and declining! Let’s keep some perspective here. I’m sure Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson will make it the focus of their next book, in 2027.

These stupid attempts to violate the First Amendment by red states are such a waste of resources.

"that he may have conditioned much of the public to believe him if he says that the recipient of a pardon was indeed a fellow victim."
If only there was some way the public could be disabused of this incorrect belief, maybe by factual and ethical reporting from, say, a newspaper like the NY Times?

From the article: "[Trump] has pressed so hard and for so long to demonize and undo the work of the Biden administration’s Justice Department — claiming that it was weaponized against him and his supporters"

Your piece is spot on. I do wish that more media *would* say that more access to meaningless, unhinged, untruthful babble is not better. Do they not care that he is making shit up and makes no effort to convey legitimate information?

Honest business owners and taxpayers have to keep paying their and their employees’ money to the feds for taxes, SS and Medicare withholding but scammers who suck up hard enough to Trump and are named Trump, found guilty of tax fraud and convicted just…don’t. Hell of a country we live in.
