Biden mid pronounces a word (actually quite rarely) and it is all over the news. Trump spews continual hate and authoritarian pronouncements and he is given a pass. The 5th estate is failing democracy. Thanks Robert!

Sadly enough some people everywhere are sensationalists and polls and certain news outlets feed on that. Here in Germany we have a coalition of social, green and middle conservative. Every newshour there is at least some instance where someone is gloating over any sign of discord in the coalition. In the meantime they forget that this coalition looked after Germany during a pandemic, a war that is 1700 plus kilometres away and keeps watch over climate change. Critique is easy and cheap.
I fully agree and we need to watch indictments carefully. And also dismiss the ass.ole Trump get busy registering college students, STANDING UP TO GUN SAFETY AND REGISTERING COLLEGE STUDENTS TO VOTE 🙏
Gee, all Joe should have to do to prove he's still sharp as a tack is recite "Person, woman, man, camera, TV," from memory. Isn't that solid proof? I mean outwitting the entire Republican congregation at the SOTU on live TV, in real time, apparently isn't good enough, so "Person, woman, man, camera, TV" should do it, don't you think?
Every time I panic about the polls I look at the people polled. This time it was 1000 people, that does not represent any true amount of voters. I also have to remember how small the Republican base has shrunk to. I will admit I wish Biden was younger, but I will still vote for him against any Republican candidate. I am 63 and will never vote for the cruel, vile Republican Party again.
Now that the GQP has added child labor to the list of “parents’ rights” they believe resonate with their voters, let’s urge the Democrats to jump all over this manufactured umbrella title. Parents’ rights to allow children to work in unsafe conditions? But NO parental rights to allow a child to seek healthcare for her right to choose. Parental rights to allow angry mothers and fathers to ban books THEY don’t like? But NO parental rights for those who would WANT their children to read all kinds of books. Parental rights to allow those angry mothers and fathers to discriminate against the humanity of gay and trans people. But NO parental rights to allow the parents of trans children to support their children as they are, and to seek the necessary gender-affirming healthcare. We simply CANNOT let them keep hoodwinking the voters about what they stand for. They have truly crossed a line and have become inhumane. I want to know if the Democrats have think tanks, as the GQP does, who creates issues, writes talking points, and even fashions legislation so that all red states sound like puppets in what they’re doing. Seemingly out of nowhere, Sanders as Governor in one of her first acts loosens the regulations for child labor. WTH??? Then we learn that it’s not out of nowhere. It’s from their Hate Factories. We need to have TRUTH Factories for the Democrats to dispel the culture wars that are killing our people, our democracy, and our very souls. And my comment about Alito is short and sweet: If he’s so ticked off about the fact that he isn’t even sure the government would obey any ruling he made (Oh, how I wish that were true), perhaps he should use his considerable time to understand why the country can hardly tolerate the Extreme Court! 3 words for Sam - “pack the Court.”
Justice Roberts should be reminded that umpires do far more than simply “call balls and strikes” and that even MLB is up to the task of changing the rules when its fans want to see change.

Thanks for the great advice, Robert! Keep it coming! The only poll that matters is on Election Day. Media polls are tools used by media to generate media.
Chief Justice Roberts has a unique opportunity to restore integrity to the Supreme Court. Instead, he seems to be abrogating that responsibility. My advice, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
Why Biden's age is an issue while Trump's is not is one of the greatest ironies of the day. Biden is only about 3-1/2 years older than Trump. Perhaps the explanation is that Biden acts his age, while Trump behaves like a 3-1/2 year old.
Biden needs a baggage handler among his communications staff. Hunter's troubles, Afghanistan withdrawal, ageism, gaffes, residual stuttering, and other such things should be better handled and not allowed to be weaponized.
"Next time you speak to a customer service representative for one of the above organizations, tell them how you feel about their efforts to fund an organization that backed the “Stop the Steal” efforts in 2020."
Absolutely do not do this! This is further abuse of the beleaguered customer service people in this Country! I have been on a serious mission to stop the abuse of these people. Taking one's frustrations (political or otherwise) out on the people least likely to have zero input into the matter is cruel. I have heard too many stories of people telling how they were just awful to the Customer Service person.
These are our neighbors. They have families and problems just like you and me.
I recommend going out of our way to have a real person to person interaction. I do this and have had some of the sweetest human moments ever.
Ah --- the MEDIA once again!!! Every day they do what they did in 2015 -- have multiple headlines and stories about Trump and virtually nothing about Biden's accomplishments. And polls -- breathless and inaccurate. While on the issue of age, I fear that Senator Feinstein is repeating what Justice Ginsberg did. Missing those votes for judicial nominees? FINALLY - on postcard writing - it's something we ALL can do. I wore out my fountain pen writing for the CIVICS CENTER and the increase in some election of the youth vote was 240%
Another coup for Joe Biden-$1.5 billion Inflation Reduction Act thats set aside for the federal Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Program to fund tree-planting projects over the next decade with a focus on underserved communities which turn concrete jungles into tree lined communities.
This age thing .... isn’t the youthful Trump around 76 or 77? Anyway, Biden has and will have countless opportunities to exploit Trump’s “youth” by stating his own age and Trump’s and empathetically explaining that, with his own “great” advantage in years AND experience, his “young” opponent is certainly disadvantaged in nearly every challenge facing our country and the world. Their diets and religious practices aside, Biden has a clear physical and spiritual youthfulness it won’t take a lot to showcase!

Once again, the mainstream media is normalizing Trump. We all know there is absolutely nothing normal about this man.The MSM delivered him to us before but we have to make sure it doesn't happen again. A twice impeached, serial lying former POTUS who tried to overturn the results of a fair election is NOT presidential timber and has never been.I will take our intelligent, accomplished "old man" over their criminal, fascist "old man" any day.Bring it on.
Age does not matter, stuttering does not matter, competence , conviction, experience and understanding the responsibilities of office matter, not just for us but the world.
Biden may be Ren Reed as one of our greatest presidents given the conditions he is facing. Thanks!

My very simple method for avoiding fake news from any source on Twitter is not to go there.

"Ignore the polls!" Focus on what's important.
"Next time you speak to a customer service representative for one of the above organizations, tell them how you feel about their efforts to fund an organization that backed the “Stop the Steal” efforts in 2020."

Just reported: Tucker Carlson and Fox have decided to part ways. It makes one wonder if there were secret codicils to the Fox-Dominion settlement.
On the bright side, it will enable Tucker to realize his lifelong ambition to apply for a job at Channel One in Moscow. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/24/tucker-carlson-leaves-fox-news-in-wake-of-dominion-defamation-settlement.html
