In 2018, the WEP once again endorsed Cuomo, this time against Cynthia Nixon. Zimet was again apologetic. But what could she do? “Yes, Cynthia is a woman, and yes she represents a lot of our values, but we have a governor who literally created the party,” she pleaded to the Times.

The WEP was doing double duty on the ballot, aimed not just at voters sympathetic to women’s equality, but also as a hedge against a party with an almost identical acronym: the Working Families Party. In 2014, the WFP flirted with endorsing Teachout but won a set of promises from Cuomo and ended up endorsing him. He quickly broke all the promises, and the WFP endorsed Nixon in 2018, touching off a civil war that has led to the rapid fracturing of Cuomo’s political architecture.

That year, Cuomo and his running mate Kathy Hochul embarked on a tour of the state aboard the “Women’s Equality Express,” a pink-and-blue striped campaign bus.

Joe Biden exists that's about the extend of it.

You can't know what this feels like as an American after 4 years of the most reckless and selfish President since Andrew Jackson. Biden is a return to order AND has progressed the American recovery rapidly and in ways that even Obama would have experienced opposition. The pendulum is swinging back, past center.

Quote from: https://www.pncguam.com/san-nicolas-delivers-chamorro-cookies-to-congresswoman-who-thought-guam-was-a-foreign-country/

Guam Congressman Michael San Nicolas, accompanied by dozens of Guam Guard personnel, delivered Chamorro cookies to the office of Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene who sparked controversy when she lumped Guam with foreign countries undeserving of U.S. aid.

In her comments during the Conservative Political Action Conference held in Orlando, Florida, Greene said: “We believe our hard-earned tax dollars should just go for America. Not for, what? China, Russia, the Middle East, Guam, whatever, wherever.”

This got the ire of Guam residents, including the governor’s office, which offered to send Greene a copy of “Destiny’s Landfall: A History of Guam.”

San Nicolas was more diplomatic, pointing out that Greene was a new member of Congress and promising to send the congresswoman a bag of Chamorro Chip cookies as part of his outreach to introduce Guam to new members of the House.

On Monday, San Nicolas lived up to his promise and delivered a basket of Chamorro cookies to Greene’s office accompanied by a delegation from the Guam Guard.

Wasn't it Larry Summers who engineered the Obama recovery policies along with Geithner and Bernanke?
HBO made a film about it https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9419838/. I recall Geithner saying that they didnt help the population as much as they could because people wouldn't learn their lesson if they cleared their debt.
Whenever some sort of relief is provided during this crisis the general argument seems to be that the people in a bad spot aren't to blame. But with other crises (Greece, 2008) they always blamed the people for the failure of their system.

Biggest difference between now and 2008 is that the banks and wall street are on a permanent stimulus with low interest rates and QE so in this 'official' one so to speak there's more room for other priorities.
I'm not as bullish on this as Goldman Sachs is though. I understand why they're happy, they invested in this outcome. We're doing the exact same thing that the politicians in the 90's did (and why we hate them) we push the bill to the next generation.

War with our heroes on the border:

Quote from: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/biden-administration-limits-what-border-patrol-can-share-media-about-n1261133

The Biden administration is restricting the information Border Patrol agents and sector chiefs can share with the media as a surge of migrants tests the agency's capacity at the southern border, according to four current and two former Customs and Border Protection officials.

The officials say the restrictions are seen as an unofficial "gag order" and are often referred to that way among colleagues. The officials requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media about the topic.

Border Patrol officials have been told to deny all media requests for "ride-alongs" with agents along the southern land border; local press officers are instructed to send all information queries, even from local media, to the press office in Washington for approval; and those responsible for cultivating data about the number of migrants in custody have been reminded not to share the information with anyone to prevent leaks, the officials said.

Multiple news organizations, including NBC News, have requested access to or photos from inside overcrowded border processing facilities holding unaccompanied migrant children; they have been denied. The DHS press office released one photo late Tuesday of a mother and child undergoing a health screening inside a border facility, but no wider shots to show conditions or sleeping arrangements.

Quote from: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/border-patrol-biden-crisis-dhs-kevin-mccarthy-republicans-insiders-b1818116.html

The Trump-supporting Border Patrol labor union is reportedly teaming up with Republicans to launch a PR offensive on Biden’s government. At the same time, officers have chosen to continue to treat migrants at the border like Trump is still president

...

“This is a planned, coordinated attempt to sabotage the Biden administration,” said Jenn Budd, a former Border Patrol agent-turned-immigrant rights activist who works with the Southern Border Communities Coalition.

Budd added that the fact that unaccompanied minors are being kept at Border Patrol stations for extended periods of time appears to be “an internal crisis” of the agency’s own creation: “It does not take that long to process children.”

Budd recounted a time when she approached a border station in 2019 and spoke to agents who were aware that she had been part of the agency but were not aware of her current immigration activism: “I asked them why it was taking them so long to process — it didn’t take that long [even] when I had to hand-write everything back in the day — and they would say, ‘We’re trying to teach them a lesson’. So they were intentionally keeping people in there for over two weeks at a time in these conditions to punish them. That is the only reason why they were doing that.”

Budd continued on to say that the same people who responsible for harsh treatment of migrants during the Trump era are still in charge: “They do this on purpose. And none of that has changed in the management has not changed at all. But the same people who separated families and created the last crisis are doing it again.”

...

But Budd, the former Border Patrol agent, said even the best attempts at house-cleaning at Customs and Border Protection by newly minted Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will be insufficient as long as the Border Patrol’s union continues to exercise an effective veto over policy by “spreading propaganda” with the help of Republican officials.

When asked what Biden and his administration can do to prevent the agency from continuing to operate as if the president doesn’t make policy, her answer was simple. “He has to decertify the union,” she said.

Quote from: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-tells-migrants-dont-abc-news-exclusive-interview/story?id=76490159

President Joe Biden said in an exclusive interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday that his message to migrants is "Don't come over."

Amid a surge of migrants and unaccompanied minors on the U.S. southern border, Stephanopoulos asked the president, "Do you have to say quite clearly, 'Don't come'?"

"Yes, I can say quite clearly: Don't come over," Biden said during the wide-ranging interview in Darby, Pennsylvania.

"Don't leave your town or city or community," he added.

CNN has been hemorrhaging viewers since former President Trump left office, losing roughly half of its audience in key measurables since January following a brief post-Election Day spike.

CNN averaged 2.5 million primetime viewers from Nov. 4, the day following the presidential election, through Inauguration Day on Jan. 20. But viewers fled the network once President Biden took office, and CNN has averaged only 1.6 million primetime viewers from Jan. 21 through March 15.

CNN’s viewership during the primetime hours of 8-11 p.m. ET dropped 36% since Biden took office after it spiked following Election Day. CNN’s primetime viewership decline was even sharper among the key demographic of adults age 25-to-54, plummeting 47% during the same period.

CNN averaged 1.7 million viewers from Nov. 4 through Jan. 20, but it dropped to 1.1 million since Biden took office for a 34% fall. During the same period, CNN shed 44% of its total day viewers among the key demo, dropping from an average of 483,000 to only 272,000.

Putin is actually quite a skilled debater for someone who hates democracy.
He had lively debates at G8 summits with Merkel and others and he's often invited to these big forums and events where the press can ask him questions.

It's actually the other way around for once.
NK didn't pick up the phone and cut ties with various countries left and right. Kim Jun Un is MAGA coping

Trump offered Kim a ride on Air Force One but he declined and told Sarah Huckabee Sanders to 'take one for the team' after he learned Kim had an interest in her.
