People involved in negotiations over Thursday’s address said the networks deemed Biden’s remarks as “political” in nature and therefore decided not to televise it. washingtonpost.com/media/2022/09/

I have nothing but pure spite for the professional morons who were "just asking questions" about trans health care in America, when anyone with more than seven brain cells could see where that would lead in a political atmosphere that empowers violent bigots

This is the notice The Wing sent out last night about all its offices closing immediately. I last went two weeks ago for the first time in a long time. All the trash cans were full and there was only one employee visibly around (at the front desk).

A reminder that the GOP had a chance to get off this train in February of 2021 and chose not to do it. Had they convicted him, he wouldn’t be their problem. Now he is.

I’m hardly the biggest booster of the Biden administration, but it is to me utterly astounding (and profoundly depressing) that those demanding “accountability” for Afghanistan focus on the president who got us out, not on the people who kept us in a losing war for 20 years.
