Two weeks later & still total 🦗🦗 from the Pundits about how Republicans Must Do An Abundance of Popularism
It’s been days. Has Ezra Douthglesias written yet about how Republicans have alienated the median voter with stuff like trying to starve people & must instead Do An Abundance Of Popularism? 👇 looks like the exact opposite of the thing Democrats Must Do & yet it seems like total 🦗🦗 from the Pundits.
I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting.

As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

And btw, Marjorie Taylor Greene, do you still support Trump? Do you still believe Trump won the 2020 election? Do you still believe Jan 6th was a good, patriotic day? Do you support masked federal agents grabbing brown & black people off our streets? There’s more, but you get my point. Thanks

I hope most people realize how ridiculous it is for Trump to encourage Republicans to vote to release the files WHEN HE CAN RELEASE THEM WHENEVER HE WANTS. The whole reason the discharge petition exists in the first place is because his administration tried to cover up what’s in the files.

No one should have to face such threats.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Even if the Epstein stuff never existed, Summers should be allowed nowhere near future Democratic discussions about economic policy. His last two forays into that were total disasters, & neither Democrats nor democrats can risk that again:

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Surprising precisely no one:
An important side note about today's Epstein/Trump revelations.

They show that Todd Blanche's questioning of Maxwell was either (a) completely incompetent; or (b) intentionally crafted not to elicit facts incriminating Trump.

Either way, he is not fit to serve as Deputy Attorney General.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

The corporate media runs Democrats in Disarray stories, because it's the easiest route.

Those stories don't get the GOP mad. Those stories channel executives' worries about socialism & taxes. Those stories are tried and true products.

Who cares if there's no merit to them? Just run them again!
After a week in which Dems exceeded expectations in elections, Trump's popularity continues to tank, the GOP largely abandoned the task of governing (just as Thanksgiving travel approaches), I'm a bit surprised to see many more stories highlighting weakness in the Dem than in the GOP coalition.
This NYT framing is ludicrously overstated. Sure, there are primaries. But if anything, the results showed a lot of Dems that there's a way to unify the factions around anti-Trump and affordability politics (as I try to argue in the piece/thread below).
