I think we are heading into a recession or worse. Say what you will about old senile Biden, he was doing a pretty damn good job threading the needle and keeping us out of recession post pandemic. Now we got a bunch of drunks flying the plane into the ground.

Hmm. The Reality Distortion Field has kicked in from an unexpected source: NPR. I just heard a NPR news cast about the Trump vs. Zelensky incident. NPR made it sound not nearly as serious as it was. It was an argument, a disagreement and no mention about Trump telling Zelensky to leave. All the rough edges had been polished off. And this from NPR.

Zelensky more than held his own against the two of them. He’s been through 3 years of hell, he’s seen the bodies of civilians gunned down by Russians for sport. Trump and Vance are pampered little yippie purse dogs by comparison. I just regret Zelensky had to go through that.
But it’s better he does not sign anything - anything with Trump right now.
