Chuck Todd is the personification of stupidity and partisanship

It's frightening what types of stupid things can be heard while watching MSNBC hosts. This article quotes Chuck Todd as saying "There was this focus group - and it’s qualitative, not quantitative - where swing voters, Trump-Biden voters seem to buy the idea that Putin wouldn’t have done this in Trump was president. How does the Democratic Party answer for that?" Then Todd continued, saying "I don’t buy that. I don’t think that matches logic, but voters do. That's a perception issue."

Actually, it's a fact problem. During the Trump administration, Putin behaved himself, relatively speaking, and didn't threaten Ukraine. That's largely because Trump shipped massive quantities of Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine. Some were part of an aid package. Others were sold outright to President Zelenskiy. Trump and Zelenskiy projected a no-nonsense image to Mr. Putin.

Further, Trump's version of Drill, Baby, Drill kept oil prices cheap. It isn't coincidental that Putin's expansionist agenda emerges when oil is cheap and there's a weak leader in the White House.

"Fifty-one percent believe the economy is in a recession or depression. I mean, look, it’s just not true," Todd exclaimed after NPR reporter Ayesha Rascoe argued that Biden wasn't able, as president, to actually do anything about the rising inflation rates plaguing the country, citing a USA Today-Suffolk University poll.

"This economy is frustrating. This economy with COVID has been — I’ve got money and I can’t find something. But my god, there’s jobs. There’s good jobs," he added. "Is this the right-wing echo chamber is better than the Democratic echo chamber? Or is there something else missing here?"

What Todd's missing is the fact that inflation is stealing families' income. When wages are up 5.1% year-over-year but inflation is up 7.9% year-over-year, that's a significant loss in families' buying power. Inflation is a wealth thief. This video highlights Todd's thinking:

SIDENOTE: Jennifer Palmieri replied to Todd's echochamber question by saying "For sure, the right-wing echochamber is always better than the left-wing echochamber. It's not that the left-wing echochamber isn't smarter or more strategic than the right-wing echochamber. It's that we just don't repeat what we're told to say and we never will." What rubbish! Get a Democrat off their chanting points and they're lost. They can't explain their way out of a wet paper sack after that.

Summarizing is simple in this case. We have 4 years of affirmative proof that Putin didn't invade Ukraine during Trump's administration. Finally, there's this to enjoy:

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
