So is Greenwald more of a Denethor or a Padan Fain, do you think?

Heh, saw this amidst the Replies sewage:

ā€œMean tweets or impolite repliesā€ is the baddest of bad faith. Fuck that guy.

You mean calling out one particular reporter on their stupid questions isn’t worse than repeatedly referring to the press as the enemy of the people?

Damn, Tom Hanks can make anything sound good!

That article really lives up to the Slatepitch standard!

I kept waiting for it to turn into a crypto commercial.

I watched that video and my first thought was, ā€œBiden doesn’t deserve to be treated the way he’s been treated this past year.ā€

I know, I’ve bitched about how the Democrats suck at messaging. It turns out they just needed a better pitchman. Tom Hanks; you are fucking brilliant.

More of this, please.

So much this. Biden’s the first president in my lifetime that I feel is my president and I’d fight for.

Never felt that way about Obama, and I despised Clinton.

I have a lot of sympathy for him: Putin, Pandemic, the Proud Boys. That’s one hell of a lot of problems for one President to have to deal with at once.

Two very decent men. I think Justice Breyer would have been a delightful professor.

Obama was hit or miss, but one of the best thing about the Obama years has got to be the bromance between him and Biden.

Also the memes. I miss the memes. They were funny, and it was during a time that the world didn’t seem like it was always about to fails catastrophically.

They were, and I’d be nostalgic for this time a bit more if I wasn’t seeing the trainwreck that was coming the whole time.

Interesting that Obama clearly was assuming this was the end of Biden’s political career.

I think everyone was assuming that. Obama picked Biden in part because he would be too old to be a threat to Clinton’s ambitions downstream, and when Biden declined to run in 2015 it seemed to put the seal on that notion.

Bridge collapsed today, before Biden visit.

Just hours before President Joe Biden’s scheduled speech in Pittsburgh about the historic $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan, Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey said the bridge over Hot Dog Dam Dog Park was inspected just last September. The results of that inspection were not immediately known.

This makes a good case FOR more infrastructure spending, doesn’t it?
