That thing? It’s common sense.
Every right wing fever dream accusation can be reframed and refuted by talking about common sense.
Kids getting surgery in school? Common sense.
747s gifted from foreign countries?
Common sense.
The GOP abandoned common sense for Trump. It’s there to take.

This was a fantastic listen. She is speaking common sense that the DNC needs to take on board. She’s even giving the two Jon’s a gentle talking to in terms of some of the handwringing they’ve been doing over the last couple of weeks.

I literally can’t tell who’s more vile, Hegseth or Ullyot. I mean it. It’s a complete toss up. There no daylight between them in terms of how utterly awful they both are.

Does anyone think it’s even remotely non-batshit-insane to expect NZ, a country of 5m consumers to have trade parity with the US, a country of 340m consumers?

New Zealand is charging 1.9% tariffs, not 20%. But this unchallenged “trade deficit is a form of tariff” nonsense allows Trump to play the victim and gaslight us that he’s being generous in only applying a 10% tariff.
Does anyone think it’s reasonable to expect $ trade parity between NZ and USA?

For someone whose catchphrase is literally “You’re fired!” I’m gonna put my money on Trump doing absolutely nothing other than deflect and insist that he knows nothing about it.
The President of the United States is putting his fingers in his ears and saying “I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!”

Trust me, people are changing their travel plans. I have travelled to and worked in the States on average once a year for the last 30 years, but not anymore. Once was forgivable, twice is incomprehensible.

I don’t work in treasury or even in your country, but as an IT professional of 40’years experience and a full stack developer, if Musk’s developers have Admin access, these checks and balances are utterly meaningless.

There seems to be an unspoken belief amongst the “Leopards Ate My Face” crowd that if maga have remorse, they will automatically come over to the Dems. There is zero evidence of this. They just now think both sides are bad. This is not a winning position for Dems. We need to stand for something.

I have to say, Jon - when Rachel expressed concern at Trumps deteriorating condition and how that would present in his decisions, I yelled at my phone “HOW WOULD WE TELL??!!”

Based on what is happening right now on Instagram censoring #obama and #democrat ? I hope it’s Zuckerberg. This is unconscionable. And it’s just so blatant.
