I'm old enough to remember Fox hyperventilating for a week because Obama saluted *living* Marines while holding a cup of coffee.

This is a good point. I think there's little question that foreign influences were using Gaza to wedge the left.
...some bad-faith actors in left-wing media (*cough*Chris Hayes*cough*) who shared the same desire but wanted to maintain plausible deniability and have spent the last 16 months trying to wash their hands of the result they helped bring about.

-Biden was old and people were mad because they felt they'd been lied to about his fitness;
-People hate inflation, and while the inflation rate had dropped, the echo effects of high inflation in 2022-23 were still very recent and real in people's minds;

Yep...eh, yes and no...and yep.
Honestly, I don't know what more she realistically could've done to separate herself from Biden. She was his VP and he was still president while she was running. She was going to own whatever he did no matter what.
My own theory of 2024 is something like....

Crenshaw figured being 90% MAGA would be enough, and he could still maintain a veneer of respectability and "independence."
He forgot that MAGA is a cult of personality built around a malignant narcissist, and for that kind of cult, there's never any such thing as "enough."

He's going for Versailles, but he's getting a Saddam's palace/Amazon fulfillment center mashup.
I guarantee you Collins and the NRSC are sitting on a mountain of oppo on Platner they can't wait to release if he wins the nomination.
The worst part is Platner wouldn't just lose to Collins -- he'd be an anchor around the neck of every other Dem Senate candidate.
Someone should tell the original poster the running joke in the Union army about what the "U.S." in U.S. Grant stood for.
Teeing up a pretext for Trump to declare victory and walk away in a few weeks when he gets bored and tired of hearing about gas prices and casualties.
The government avoided preliminary injunctive relief by arguing it would be easy to just refund the tariffs if it eventually lost. Gonna be fun to watch them try to explain why they lied to the court.

And with the Trump administration pursuing policies that are inflationary (tariffs, war, etc.), they're making it hard if not impossible for the Fed to cut interest rates and loosen monetary policy to encourage growth.

Bondi subpoenaed.
Also note they're not asking him to *resign*, just not to run for re-election. They're fine with him staying in the seat until the election, though, because the GOP majority in the House is so thin.
Yeah, pretty much where I am right now is "very pissed at the four Dems who tanked it and redoubled in my resolve to vote every Republican out of office at every level of government so we have a big enough Dem majority that four (or eight, or 12) defectors can't tank anything."
Notice they're not asking him to *resign* -- just not to run for re-election. Because their majority is so thin they need to keep him in the seat until the election.
And Patel. And Hegseth. And RFKjr.
He fired her *while she was speaking live on TV*.

The job requirement Kristi failed at most bigly was "Don't say or do stupid shit that embarrasses the administration" and Trump just picked a replacement who's likely to break that rule multiple times in his first 24 hours on the job.
