“The Democrats missed a huge chance in 2015/2016 to take Trump’s claims of “fake news” and direct them, judo-style, at corporate journalism’s real shortcomings.”

_Of course_ they did. Playing to lose is the dEMO way. That’s why, even taking Kamala Harris’ rising popularity, we’re not at all out of the woods yet.

So Netanyahu (who one of my jewish friends calls 'Satanyahu') denies speaking to the failed former president but did not deny the idea that Donald asked him to not cut a ceasefire deal (why would he since it wasn't reported)? Does that mean there's more to this story or will this go the same way as offhanded references to 'the couch'?

There isn’t going to be a DNC bump because of two words: Fox + News.

Oh, and “news” in general.

The other side, and 50 maybe as much as 70% of “undecideds,” will judge anything/everything Harris says/policies/argues as any one or all of these: too progressive, not progressive enough, anti-this, pro-that, off target, too Trumpy, almost Communistic, and, oh, said by a woman.

The list could go on and on and…

Fox + (all) News.

It’s/They’re the sole reason we’ll be slapping our heads up until the votes are cast.

So. V-O-T-E. 🗳️ .

Y’know, if (in most states) they’ll let you.

‘She hasn’t given birth with her own personal uterus.’

See that’s why I follow you. I would subscribe but times are hard in the U.K. and I’m a public sector worker (moan moan), but at least I have my own personal uterus.
