I can’t and won’t get caught up on the news about Kevin’s coming woes or the foibles of a junior member in a theater when we should be grateful for the leadership and diplomacy that deserves the oxygen.

Biden’s team has done well for us. I think the talks with members of the PRC will result in a cogent response to the Ukraine situation if nothing else. Xi does not and cannot be on the losing side of this conflict and he knows it. While I don’t think some of the other issues will get addressed, finding a path forward with China relative to it is good diplomacy.
The release of hostages is another important milestone. Yes 6B seems to be “unlocked” in this “deal” but as HCR points out, the headline misses the details. I expect that will be lost on the right-wing media of course…
Between all those little victories, sadly, the administration’s successes are going to be ignored as everyone wants to know about Hunter. Don’t expect any minority reports about “evidence” to last long in the right-wing media subterfuge: those voices will get drowned-out or eliminated. It’s their way.
I am and will continue to be aghast that the Right has chosen to try to take down a senior Senator, now president, who has given more years of his life than I have enjoyed life by trying to paint him as some cheap-suit grifter. Such disrespect for a clear statesman. It really is despicable.🤨
Who owns the media? Who owns the Washington Post? Who owns the Wall Street Journal? Who owns the New York Times? These are not independent news organizations any longer...
Never. And I don't know if the current crop of Beltway Propagandists from Pundlandia will be targeted. Real reporters, yes. They will be. But I'm starting to view each Tweet/article/substack/cable/network talking head venue as them auditioning to be the new Joseph Goebbels (whom they would affectionately dub "JoGo".)
The disrespect for a true Statesman accompanies the bizarre fragmented Republican governance on the eve of a probable default.
Federal Agencies can only count on real money and this situation means programs are already suspended, contracts on hold and development frozen. Now even if there is a miracle and the various conditions for budget reconciliation are met it’s obvious of government stumbling and impending disaster for the next year.
Those arrogant red state Republicans had better pray for mild hurricanes for the rest of the year. An unfounded FEMA could make the Katrina fiasco a fond memory.

And a corrupt, morally bereft media gleefully enable fascism.
And when will “the media” realize that they will be one of the first on the chopping block if the fascist party gains control?

Kathleen,
Yep. Corruption, Evil, and War comes from two things - Money and Power. It is never from the care of the people and the love of the worlds health.
