Exactly this.

Our democracy is in deep trouble, and the bipartisan legislators are dealing with the national bird. Could this be a reason why we are in trouble? Smdh

This will be an evergreen question.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

At least next year a bunch of people will finally learn how tariffs work in practice. Itll be like learning how electricity works by electrocuting yourself, but the lesson will be learned.

Because I’m an older WW, I’ve taken to wearing Harris/Walz pins so I’m not mistaken for a cult member. Daring them to comment.😈

Ha! They will never blame their 🍊god. Some convoluted excuse will be constructed.

πŸŠπŸ’© declares tariffs will start his first day back. How long before the trumpnuts return to reality? Will all the everyday people interviewed in those diners squawk about the cost of their coffee?

Just wait until coffee prices explode.

I’d sign that bill

…and railroads were a relatively safe way to get around.
