Mockler: As much as the Trump admin tries to act like it's different from prior Republican administrations, they're doing the same thing. They cut taxes for the richest, they cut benefits for the poorest, and then they go to war for either regime change or for oil.

People are going to die because of the pending insurance premium hikes. I know the terrain of discourse is inconsistent and goes through a tumble cycle every 24 hours, but I really think we need to hone in on this reality and drive it home for people.

When I was a judicial law clerk in Montana, Pres Bush flew into the Billings airport for a rally.
I wanted to see Air Force One and asked the judge I clerked for if I could go. He said no, that it wouldn’t be appropriate.

Oh, we *seized* the oil tanker? We didn't blow it to smithereens and kill everyone on board like we do with fishing vessels a fraction of the size?

It's shocking that your 7:30am #MorningEdition newscast stated as fact that we had "record" inflation under Biden.
Biden topped 9%, then reduced it to under 3%.
The record high was 23.7% in 1920.
14.4% in 1947
14.8% in the late 70s.

7 months ago, some of us argued that young people are highly responsive to the "nature of the times" (Campbell et al 1960) because they are relatively less politically engaged. Thus, their pro-Republican movement in 2024 was likely not a stable generational difference. It looks like we were right.
