I thoroughly underestimated, and fully confess to it, how Biden has a superpower of making his proposals sound reasonable in a way that's hard to argue with. No wonder the whine at Fox News has reached the pitch only dogs can hear.

Worth stressing: Biden's ability to fill what you might call the populist center is helped immeasurably by the GOP's total withdrawal from the conversation about the country's biggest problems, and the tendency of conservative populists to run down right wing media rabbit holes.

Biden closes his #JointAddress by saying, "we've stared into the abyss of insurrection and autocracy, pandemic and pain, and we the people did not flinch … we can do whatever we set our mind to, if we do it together. So let's begin to get together." pic.twitter.com/jo9ba4YwIB

President Biden’s speech is an opportunity to advertise the United States to the world. Today he’s showing the US can change, can vaccinate, can embrace education and clean tech, and do it without being authoritarian. A powerful message as US-China competition defines our times

It’s one thing to be black and favor small govt and low taxes and all that other right wing nonsense, but black conservatives have to always go that extra mile and say bs like racism isn’t real. Then they get so mad when black people call em on their crap. Boo hoo.
