Hakeem Jeffries unplugged

Chris Hayes just showed Jeffries' instagram post where apparently, he says *%$$ Trump and lets loose. He says that Barak and Michelle Obama are the BEST of this country and called on Thune and Johnson to denounce this "serial fraudster" who is sitting at Pennsylvania Avenue pretending to be president of the United States. He shows real outrage and who can blame him?

CNN doing a good job on trump's racist post believe it or not!

Chyron: Trump Deletes Racist Video Featuring Obamas: Doesn't Apologize
The network is calling it racist and stating that he didn't apologize in the chyron. I appreciate this because although CNN is often critical of trump if you take time to listen to their entire broadcast, their chyrons are often just quotes from the administration that are provably false.

In addition, Casey Hunt said that they will show the "meme", which they did, because we shouldn't look away. They also showed many other examples of trump's racism, and no one on the "panel", not even the Rs, had anything but scathing comments.

Ron Filipkowski points out what Rs SHOULD learn from the racist Obama post

He points out on bluesky that the administration did not delete the racist post or blame the staffer because they realized it was wrong, racist and offensive.

No, they did so because R politicians posted about it and called it racist.

As Filipkowski points out, there is a lesson to be learned here if only the Republicans will learn it.

Which party is trusted more on affordability? It's not even close!

According to Harry Enten on CNN, Democrats are trusted more by 14 percent of all voters and a walloping thirty nine percent of Independents! Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I see nothing wrong with encouraging Dems to be tougher

We should use our voices to make our needs/expectations known. Polling shows the public agrees with us. I think it's a red herring to say that because some voters at some time refused to vote for Dems for some reason we have to stay silent.

We are Democrats, not Republican cultists. We're smart and able to walk and chew gum at the same time. We can make our demands known forcefully, but when the time comes vote for the best candidate. At least, I know I can.

Hey trump voters! Tired of the winning yet? Worst job market since 2009! USA! USA!

It really says something that the news is so bad (ICE shootings, rising prices, healthcare premiums, daily outrages of every kind imaginable) that this news is flying somewhat under the radar.

According to CNN, 108,435 layoffs were announced in January. This is the highest number since 2009. Anyone else remember what was happening in Jan. 2009? It was a recession.

For What?

That was the response JD Vance gave to the interviewer from the Daily Mail today. The question? Will you apologize to the family of Alex Pretti?

For what? Let that sink in. Has there ever been a more unlikable VP in American history?

And as long as we're on the subject, why is it that only women politicians are required to be likable?

"You are the worst reporter. I don't think I've ever seen you smile.

Your organization should be ashamed of you." Guess who to Kaitlin Collins just now. She was asking him about justice for the Epstein survivors. I guess he finds that a "smiling" matter. One thing is certain; he didn't want to answer the question.

Closing the Kennedy Center is even worse and/or more stupid than it appears

According to Julian Sanchez on bluesky, although it may not be obvious to those who don't regularly visit the center, it is not run down. In fact, it received a renovation in 2019, and he says it is absolutely gorgeous in there right now in its current state. It certainly does not need to be shut down for two years for a total renovation.

The corporate media is not mentioning this of course, because in their "sly" way they continue to sanewash trump. But since the center was recently renovated, that only leaves the fact that they don't have enough acts to stay open for the next two years and little trumpie's feelings might get hurt if that is publicized.

Oh, and it's a total waste of taxpayer money which I am sure the corporate media would be screaming bloody murder about if it was a Dem doing it.
