Don't mess with librarians! The staff the Library of Congress refused to let DOJ staffers sent by the new acting librarian Todd Blanche to enter the building! They called the Capital Police and their general counsel. They said they recognize the deputy librarian as being in power until they hear otherwise from Congress! 🔥🔥🔥

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I thought this was a good discussion, even though I didn't agree with it. I'm neither sold on Biden stepping down or staying in, but admittedly leaning towards him staying in. I felt like I haven't heard a compelling case for Biden to step down, it's a lot of superficial things, and I don't feel the strategy is there. And I don't think a constant criticism will disappear with a new candidate, I think it will be something different, the narrative of Biden is old is there and all they got. I feel…
I tend to be where you are although I think all this media and talk about Biden’s age will hurt him. No idea how much but it will some with people who don’t pay attention because it is in the blood stream now. Not saying this means that we shouldn’t talk about it but in general I don’t think it’s helpful for dems and Biden.
Your last part on media attention is key. All this talk drowns out the insanity of Trump. If we dropped Biden I think Trump basically gets a free pass for 7 weeks and you get a million articles talking about”dem in disarray.”
Agreed, I think it has made people a lot more uneasy and skeptical of Biden—more than Biden made them on his own.
What bothers me is Favreau and some of the Bulwark folks chalk it up to this being “responsible and a healthy thing for a party to do” but yet seem blissfully ignorant to the consequences of this 2 week attack.
Yeah I don’t by that (that talking about it is helpful). This would be like saying “that 6 month negotiating about Build, Back,Better was really helpful to Dems because it shows the American people how sausage is made.” Sure it does but 6 months of “dems in disarray” didn’t make voters comfortable with dems.”
Right. And Tim keeps saying Biden isn’t providing a forward looking message but Tim hasn’t given me a forward looking message on Kamala that doesn’t rely on the assumption she’s gonna play a perfect game and nothing will go wrong.
Yeah I don’t know where I stand on that either. I mean he has forward looking policies like making roe legal, pushing Russia out of Ukraine, replacing justices on the court, etc but I don’t really know what else Tim wants him to do. The chances dems win the senate is almost zero in my mind. I mean nothing is going to get done (unfortunately).
I guess I’ll lay my cards out: I think America is deeply troubled and I view my fellow citizens with a lot of disdain. I just don’t believe that voters in …
Yeah, I think what Tim (and Bill) mean moreso is forcefully defending why he should stay in the race and a forward looking path to beating Trump in November as opposed to what he’s been doing which is sort of dismissive of peoples views. I’m not sure, I suppose I see they’re point but I also don’t think it matters and I think they’d poke holes regardless of what he had to say.
To your broader point, I unfortunately agree. I think the circumstances surrounding Trump 2.0 to create a potential for …
Yeah I hear you making the forceful case but I’m honestly not sure what he would say that could ever convince bill. I mean what should he say? They get mad at him when he says “I don’t believe the polls” but also “I’m going to give it my all and win.” I feel like they are just fishing for the perfect statement that says “I fucked up and I’m losing” but “im losing and I will turn it around with x, y, and z.” I also think they would then pivot to well another candidate can do x, y and z.
I think you’re definitely onto something there… people seem to get much more dissatisfied much quicker nowadays and whether it’s justified or not, they take it out on the incumbent. Economy is the perfect example of this… Biden gets blamed for the rocky economy and even though he’s navigated it very well people are upset and therefore it’s his fault. I’m not sure our attention spans as a collective country can handle someone for 8 years straight anymore.
Of course we can. But tad to why we should keep the old white man:
Old is more than years. It’s the collection of years of experience both in the Senate and then with Obama as VP and global messenger/advocate for peace and whatever Obama wanted him to do. He learned about the statesmen of all different countries,
What troubles those countries and work with to fix it. He started peace negations with Israel and the Saudis, was going great until Hamss’ little jolt. 3 month war and Hamas is willing t…
I honestly don’t have any idea what you are trying to say. The war has been going on for 8 months now and it splits his base AND unfortunately he is pinned in because (1) Israel is broadly popular in the us electorate and (2) bibi won’t listen to anything we say anyways.
