What is the point of our commentariat class if they are incapable of recognizing the basic facts of reality?

I think even DC reporters (while they do that) have a better grip on these races than the SF and LA based podcast pundits.

"why haven't the tariffs soured the public on Trump?" what even is the point of listening to Klein or the PodBros when you do not even get simple facts about reality from them.

It is insane to me that his approval is in the toilet, especially in the economy and the chattering classes just pretend it is not happening.

alternatively, trump's at 41% approval — that's pretty "sour" right?

In his interview w @jonfavs.bsky.social, @ezraklein.bsky.social asks, "why haven't the tariffs soured the public on Trump?"

An answer from my book on ACA opinions: the contemporary US economy is so diverse & complex that even sizable policy changes don't move opinions consistently.

You know they’re doing well in the shutdown fight when posters like this find a way to make a GOP-controlled government the Dems’ fault.

Log off, my guy.

lol? As if Americans are drowning in Chinese cooking oil or there aren’t already 30% tariffs on them

A tweet from Trump that reads “I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.”

Another day at the Maine Senate Primary Discourse factory. I keep asking the foreman, “Hey, this stuff we’re printing about Janet Mills also applies to Roy Cooper. Why aren’t we taking this to North Carolina?” The foreman just responds by pointing to the sign

bathroom sign with traditional dress/non-dress stick figures and the caption “ALL GENDER”

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
