Excellent commentary - thanks. This particularly: "That doesn’t mean that Democrats are off the hook here. Being so oblivious to the consequences of this very predictable play is not necessarily tantamount to being complicit, but we’re not going to get through the next four years without being a bit more savvy and prepared to call out these scams." Dems are losing the perception and attention battles. Another example is Biden's work behind the scenes for months to get a cease fire/hostage release deal. Of course the timing totally favors trump (and seems certain Biden didn't control that) but trump got out first taking credit - before Biden even posted his announcement. And then, what from our other Dem leaders?? Nearly silent as far as making sure people hear who's deal it is, pushing back on trump taking credit. How can we not be smarter than this? How can we not be at least as vocal and persuasive as maga? I mean every day, in every way. It's the only way.
First, you have to have a mindset like Trump, he is pure nefarious meaning he is actively seeking to undermine wherever he can. All this wouldn't be a problem if Biden and his team had applied more aggression to Netanyahu and stopped sending weapons to force him into negotiating a cease-fire. Netanyahu didn't take Biden seriously, sometimes there is a thing of too much diplomacy and you have to do more than talk the talk, Trump scares people and they don't test him. I'm not praising or suggesting Trump's methods are great, but Biden comes off as weak too. Bidi played into Trump winning who he knows likes to deal. I believe the unfavorable status of Biden among Palestinians was what cost him the election, not his age so here we are and it's going to be like this for 4 years. Time to turn it off and control your sanity!
First, I hope that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is a predominant force in our government in the future. She needs to be supported by every American who wants politics to work for them. She is a gift.
Second, I only visit substack and never use any other form of social media. Not even a cell phone. But I'm sure my privacy is non-existent out there. It's Big-Brother on super steroids these days, not like in the 70's, although that was the beginning. The real problem is the harm waiting to happen when foreign adversaries can pay the orange traitor for the privilege of spying on our citizens and government. He doesn't care that our national security is at risk because as he has said in the past, to paraphrase, 'who cares? I'll be dead.'

But then if the ceasefire goes south again who gets blamed. With luck, trump.

Not soon enough.
Thank you!
If you don’t stand for something, you don’t stand for anything simply making yourself a conduit for nothingness.
I hope people realized what a farce this whole thing was.
Is it possible he was banning TikTok to make Musk happy and then in a snit with Elon he did a reverse?
When Jeff Yass became a donor, Trump changed his mind.
Always smoking mirrors 😡😡😡
