    I find it more scary that MAGA voters prefer to overturn democracy.

    Biden has always been gaffe prone even before aging into his sunset years. I care more about his policies and ability to do the job. I don’t also see you guys whining about Trumps constant gaffs or his ramblings about QAnon conspiracy theories.

    Why should I assume you guys really truly care about public speaking gaffs and instead just assume you guys just prefer the autocrat whose one policy was tax breaks for billionaires??

    Explain to me what ACTUALLY matters to you guys.

    LOL. Trees though. The forest is looking extremely promising.

    TSMC is building fabs in AZ capable of making 3nm chips, in addition to the 4nm and 5nm fabs already in the plan. This is a huge deal and a big win for America. Apple, Nvidia, AMD, and others don't need to go oversea to TWN, China, and elsewhere to source these advanced chips now that we have fabs coming to AZ, NY, OH, TX, ...

    That's great, too bad that the President seems to be really confused by it.

    Yea, he lost it there. It happens to the best of us. Obama once said he's been to 57 states.

    Full video of his remark below. 7min mark for his 3 nano nono I don't know.

    ps. I watched the video and it's clear he understands the forest. He got the tree wrong (3nm was what he can't remember), but that level of detail is not that important or as nearly important as the vision of America again leading the world in chip manufacturing, strengthening the US and global supply chain that was decimated during covid, with it not being here and us being dependent on others, especially on China who is still under the unnecessary draconian covid-zero policy.

    A lot of Trump supporters cited that how they hated Trump personally they said he was getting a lot done. Biden while at times appearing bumbling has gotten more done in a bit less than half of Trump’s time.

    Biden had and probably will continue to mangle words look lost at times and do a lot of other embarrassing things. He’s been able though with only a technical majority in the Senate get much of his agenda passed. Even in things like student loan debt while not being able to pass a legislative fix has managed to extend that policy indefinitely. This also on top of avoiding a midterm electoral slide that has bedeviled most presidents.

    While the public persona of Biden may be a bumbling forgetful old man in practice this is one of the most successful presidencies in recent memory.

    It's actually amazing, especially considering how polarized everything is and how divided Democrats were before he took office.

    He is doing some historic ****.

    I see your post as a battle of partisan talking points.

    Ds: Biden is most successful presidencies in recent memory.

    Rs: Biden is an incoherent senile old man .

    Talking head Chris Christie recently said that the Rs are making a big mistake by underestimating Biden. I suspect that Christie will be ignored.

    ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ Dies Again in Georgia
    Herschel Walker’s loss is Donald Trump’s final 2022 gift to the GOP.
    By The Editorial Board
    Updated Dec. 7, 2022 1:15 pm ET

    Whatever happened to “Jim Crow 2.0”? That was President Biden’s slander against Georgia’s new voting law, yet Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock won a solid runoff victory Tuesday and a six-year term, with turnout that was hardly muted. Don’t expect any apologies. Mr. Warnock is saying his win only proves Georgians can beat voter suppression, so it’s an unfalsifiable claim.

    Herschel Walker lost by nearly three points, as of the latest data, after trailing on Nov. 8 by only one point. “There’s no excuses in life,” Mr. Walker manfully conceded. “And I’m not going to make any excuses now, because we put up one heck of a fight.” Good for him, especially since Donald Trump will probably have enough bad excuses to go around.

    Mr. Trump helped to clear the GOP primary field for Mr. Walker. “Wouldn’t it be fantastic if the legendary Herschel Walker ran for the United States Senate in Georgia?” Mr. Trump said in March 2021. “He would be unstoppable.” Mr. Walker had no serious primary opposition, but he was unvetted and inexperienced, and Democrats dug up and unloaded truckloads of unflattering personal history.

    Mr. Trump is now 0-3 in Georgia Senate races, counting the two 2021 runoffs that he sabotaged, plus Mr. Walker’s loss. The former President went ballistic this summer after Mitch McConnell said candidate quality matters, but the GOP Senate leader was obviously right and vindicated on Election Day.

    A 51-49 Senate will make life far easier for Democrats over the next two years. No single Democrat will be able to block a Biden nominee, and Democrats will now have a majority on every committee. Republicans will have one more seat to overcome as they try to retake the Senate.

    Some Republicans are blaming GOP failures in mail and early voting, and as long as that’s the law the GOP will have to play by those rules. Early and mail voters in the Georgia runoff were 52% registered Democrats, to 39% Republicans, per a TargetSmart model cited by NBC News. That’s a huge deficit to make up on Election Day, especially if it rains.

    But mail-voting weaknesses didn’t stop Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp from winning re-election on Nov. 8 by 7.5 percentage points. And organizing failures shouldn’t obscure that the biggest lesson of the 2022 midterms is that Mr. Trump picks losers. Republicans clearly could have regained the Senate this year, but Mr. Trump’s endorsed candidates lost in almost every swing state. J.D. Vance won Ohio, but only with the help of $32 million in media advertising from a Super Pac tied to Mr. McConnell.

    The evidence is overwhelming over the last three election cycles that Mr. Trump and the crazy parts of Trumpism alienate suburban voters and divide the GOP. Denying that is denying reality and will guarantee more needless Republican losses in 2024.

    wsj EB at it again

    1- wsj EB loves strawman
    2- issue is voter suppression
    3- just because D won doesn't mean there wasn't voter suppression (basic faulty logic to say so)
    4- there is voter suppression (been going on forever and went to 5th gear this round)

    I guess he was directionally right. Just that the guy he referenced was her grandfather, not her father.
