This is beyond cringe and comical. To put it in pro wrestling terms, this is like making a long lost cousin of the Mulkey Brothers the top babyface to chaae Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen for the Big Gold as your top level program because it's their time to lead based on time in and not abilities
RAJU: Do you regret you vote to confirm Marco Rubio?
SCHUMER: I am deeply deeply disappointed in Marco Rubio
(Not a yes!)

Johnson tells the truth for once: Trumpers are leaving the brutal, corrupt and reviled Chavista/Maduro regime in place, abandoning the elected leaders of Venezuela, and giving the regime free rein to continue pillaging Venezuela and tormenting its people with US support, as long as Trump gets a cut.
Mike Johnson: "This is not a regime change. This is a demand for change in behavior by a regime ... we have a way of persuasion because their oil exports have been seized. That will bring the country to a new governance in very short order. We don't expect troops on the ground."

AFAIK, in 200 years, only 3 times did a country elect someone who had attempted a coup:
- Louis Napoleon (France, 1848)
- Adolf Hitler (Germany, 1933)
- Hugo Chavez (Venezuela, 1998)
Each one became dictator. I think we will be the first exception, but it's not something you screw around with.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Talk like this. Plainly. Honestly. None of this “I invite my friends across the aisle to join me”. Treat them like the people they are: unwilling to do anything to help unless you’re wealthy
Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

This is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.

Miller asks why Denmark should have a right to Greenland. I didn't see anyone in MSM answer: Because Greenland has been associated with Denmark since 1000 AD and part of it since before the USA was a country (first as a county, then recently as an autonomous region).

No, this cannot possibly be. I was told that we were not allowed to do large-scale, non-universal redistribution, because it was unaffordable, unfair, un-American, fraught with moral hazard, & fiscally irresponsible.
Oh, so that only applies to student loan debt relief? 🤔

When it comes to the US economy, this is perhaps the single most important chart.
It shows that although personal consumption by Americans is up (blue line), it's coming at the expense of savings because incomes have stopped growing:

So, so far, since Venezuela, he has threatened Iran, Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, Denmark, Greenland, and Canada (for not going along with the “Donroe Document”--he couldn’t even remember “Doctrine” 🙄).
Pretty clear he wants to isolate the US population, like a dangerous man isolates an abused spouse.

Dem bigwigs are inclined to ignore this stuff from Trump, which they correctly see as provocation slop. But this instinct to turn the other cheek has failed us again and again. It has created a norm in which he can act like this. Force Republicans to talk about it. Make it uncomfortable for them.
