Turning on the football game for the 4th quarter: who are we rooting for?
.@Bengals deserve this win.
Cincinnati
That was fun: @Bengals are lovable, deserved that win, and (despite the finish) OT rules still suck.

Shorter @Nate_Cohn: confidence in economy tanks with Biden's approval, and Biden's approval tanks in August. And, I would argue Biden's approval tanked in August due to Mainstream Media's 20 day onslaught of anti-Biden headlines around Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Biden, following Trump's plan, withdrew our military ahead of the 20 year anniversary of the war in Afghanistan: we could have knocked Al Qaeda out and come home, but Bush/Obama/Trump spent nearly 20 years in futile national building.
Mainstream media loved their war though, they were so sad at the prospect of the US not being in a major war! So, when Biden pulled out our military, demonstrating how 20 years had been wasted on a paper government & army, they got mad at Biden and trashed him for weeks.

Article on front of ⁦@nytimes⁩ this morning praises Republicans for “message discipline” in attacking Biden’s policy around inflation & Afghanistan, but offering no counter policies themselves. Good journalists would hold them accountable for policy. nytimes.com/2022/01/28/us/…
Most popular alternative to any current policy is “awesome policy to be named later”, so trashing Democratic policy w/o naming new policy is great strategy, but only works if mainstream media accepts “assume policy to be named later” rather than hounding Republicans for policy.
Republicans used this strategy w/ ObamaCare headlining *4* election cycles w/ “repeal & replace”, mainstream media inviting people to imagine “replace” would be “awesome policy to be named later” when it was actually *nothing*, this actual policy was *super dangerous & unpopular*

Basically every article about Biden's declining popular is absolute bullshit as mainstream media tries to find excuses that include something that Biden could have plausibly had control over.
Biden's popularity sucks because even though he presided over historic, job, market, wage, purchase growth, mainstream media has told all of US economy sucks with runaway inflation (actually transitory inflation due to *shockingly* rapid economic growth out of recession) ...
And, people are tired of COVID, but Omicron only caused so much hospitalization & death because Republicans convinced their supporters to be unvaccinated, then MSM/Republicans vilified Biden for vaccine mandates & other solutions to protect US from Republican anti-vax propaganda.

This web of replies between @nealkwatra & @maggieNYT is amazing. Attached image for easier reading of key thread. Image
Lots of mainstream media have been posting jot-takes blasting Democrats for "wanting to close schools" without noting that schools are almost all open, have been open for over a year, Democrats don't want to close schools, closures that did happen correlated with issues on ground
.@nealkwatra notes beyond mainstream media getting facts wrong while pushing Republican propaganda: attacks on impact of school closing without providing any context of other policy such as Republicans ending child-tax-credit, crushing pre-k, etc., is really bad journalism ...

Missing from this article (1) this is a very honest question: what percentage of schools in US were still closed by fall 2020, spring 2021, fall 2021? I have not seen good data, on this, but I assume vast majority were back in person by spring 2021, if not earlier ...
(2) There are certainly no mass closing now, and no push for it (3) School closings were correlated with conditions on the ground, including demand from parents & staff shortages: it was not just a political decision (as @maggieNYT @NateSilver538 @jonathanchait imply) ...
Cannot stress this enough: from first day of school closings in March 2020 it was evident to everyone that this was a huge cost on children & parents. This concept of Democrats running around country closing schools for political reasons completely strawman, devoid of reality ...

People who run the Republican Party are super antisemitic.
Many of the comments in this thread basically say Republicans are not antisemitic then go on to spew more antisemitism. It is this simple: American Jews are loyal to America, and accusations or insinuations of any other loyalty is built on antisemitism.
Fact that Trump has Jewish grandchildren, and there are some Jews left in his party, makes the hardcore antisemitism way more disturbing. These people assume they can promote hate, and even terror attacks, against Jews but due to their wealth & power it will not affect them ...
