Sadly, it has become more important to many to say bad things about Putin and seek revenge rather than to have the death and tragedy end. Too many are increasingly advocating for a "polite" escalation of war, leading to more deaths, rather than taking tough, direct action for peace.

Ok, if Democrats want to win the next election, every time they have a press opportunity to spread their "message" they should have a hard look at CSPANS real time polling of how independents react.

Joe Biden's 5-decade journey in public life ends with a complicated legacy: historic wins, fractured relationships, and a divided nation. www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe...

One of the most disturbing trends in partisan politics is the assigning of beliefs. It is as simple as person A saying I believe "XXX" and others telling person A that they can't believe that because it doesn't fit stereotypes. It is a key tool in partisan debates. Its usage may be why Dems lost.

J6 was a protest gone way to far. The context many ignore is how for the year prior we were conditioned that pushing against police lines and destroying property was acceptable if you felt your cause just enough. If anything positive came out it was the end of that escalating trend in protesting.

Hate to see such tragedy during the New Orleans celebration. Be careful, about believing the initial leaks from the investigation. The political FBI has already been wrong in their initial statement and wouldn't be surprised if many of the early leaks the press are reporting are also wrong.

Our current strategy towards the war in Ukraine is similar to the waning days of our involvement in the Vietnam war. Just expending bombs and ammo while feeding humans into a meat grinder, with no clear victory possible. If Biden learned anything from Jimmy Carter it sadly wasn't leading to end war
