I believe the President's approval ratings are a direct result of our incompetent media. They loathe to report any good news or accomplishments of this administration, which have been massive. They thrive on chaos and division, and they do everything they can to keep the public pissed off. As far as the deadbeat ceiling goes, yes, McCarthy will face the ire of his party if he does the right thing, but President Biden and the democrats will face a much bigger problem if they cave to these hostage takers. We have had enough of everyone trying to appease the Republicans. They are literally less than 35% of the country, but we cower and try to placate their every whim, for fear of pissing them off. The media has them on all of the shows, spewing their lies with no pushback. Democrats let the media lead the story when they're on those shows, instead of taking the lead themselves and pushing back on the lies from Republicans and the lack of perspective from the media. Democrats should be way more worried about pissing us off than the maga base. I'm sure tonight will be interesting, to say the least. I'm sure Kevin will allow his members to heckle the President and apparently, he's let the President know he does want his party referred to as extreme maga Republicans. I'm sick to death of all of this. Something needs to break through this madness. I'm just not sure what that is.
MSNBC reports every night the good that Biden and the Democrats have done. They also report the loonacy of the GOP, Santos, Russia and tfg. Also PBS/NPR give great updates too.
I'm talking about the regular media. ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT, WP. A lot of independents don't watch faux news or MSNBC, so they get their news from what I've listed. When that's skewed, they are just as misinformed as faux news viewers.
And younger voters don't watch TV news at all, or read newspapers. Democrats need to up the game on social media; there should be dozens of people like Politics Girl out there making short posts and gaining followers.
While you, Jay, are eloquent and beneficent in your characterization of McCarthy and clan, I will be far less altruistic as my tolerance for their antics has redlined, and simply note that simpering, limply ambitious hollow mascot McCarthy and his bulldog ruffian ignoramuses have absolutely no place within our legislature, wasting our time, dollars and neurons.
Time for indulgence is over. By whatever judicial, Constitutional or other [legal] means at our disposal, for the love of all that ia holy, please let's dispense with the lunacy.
The fact that the expression of "drawing a line in the sand" is in sand and not concrete implies flexibility through negotiation. But this, too, may be a concept that is beyond the head-in-the-sand understanding of our Republican neighbors.
POTUS should bring someone stiffed by #45 for work on his property and whose business suffered as a result to the SOTU as an example to the idiots. Preferably a mom and pop operation...
Ugh. To think that the likes of Bobo, MJG, or even McFly have any true grasp of complex budgeting, fiscal policy, monetary policy, taxation, etc., is an unbearable stretch. I bet they do not know that our government also happens to be the largest employer in the US.
As always, I love your presentation - both the facts and the style. This is a very big deal. Question is, how can we get it heard by those who aren't already in the choir. Any ideas?
This might be really minor, but I like sharing Jay's posts to my general friends list, as well as my political groups. Sometimes I'm surprised by who I'm getting the Likes from!
No, NATO and the USA *are not the same thing*. Finland and Sweden applying to join was all to do with Russian aggression and nothing to do with Biden. In fact, if Biden really cared he would have pressured Turkey about their outrageous veto.
Yes, the polls are flawed, but they do indicate correctly, I think, that the general public is seriously ill-informed about the many accomplishments of this administration as well as the meaning and reasons for the current debt ceiling.

Every single one of us yelling cut the sh$t

I agree 100%
The GOP oversaw a 25% expansion of the national debt during Trump's term.
They want to pretend that never happened, don’t they.
You can’t give in to terrorists, foreign or domestic.
Because once you do, you’re done.

Enough.
I’m enjoying your descriptors immensely.

It’s a circus, run by verifiable clowns.

Not minor at all. Thanks for sharing it.
The Russians are winning.
No, NATO and the USA *are not the same thing*. Finland and Sweden applying to join was all to do with Russian aggression and nothing to do with Biden. In fact, if Biden really cared he would have pressured Turkey about their outrageous veto.
Unless it’s a dick pic I’m really not interested
