I brought up the memory holing thing in the comments today. It really feels like people just want to forget 2020 since it was so awful, that they don't remember just what it was like having Trump as a leader during a national crisis.

It was scary.

I can’t be the only one appalled at the media’s attempt to make something out of nothing re Super Tuesday. Anyone paying attention knew the results of today’s voting. To act as if this is somehow an important day just shows how desperate some in the media are for relevance. Even worse is the coverage of trump and no mention of how he tried to subvert our democracy. They (major media outlets) act as if he’s a ‘normal,’ sane candidate. I get he’s the choice of the formerly respected GOP, but sometimes you have to call it like it is. He’s a despicable person not worthy of the decent coverage he receives. Is the media so afraid of alienating trump’s delusional supporters that they can’t speak truth to wannabe power? Sorry for the rant, but it’s like we’re on the Titanic and just listening the to the string quartet while the ship sinks.

So...Trump IMPROVES his standing by creating a blizzard of awfulness which blinds the American people re his toxicity and past indiscretions? I like that!

Now, how does Biden get through the whiteout and win over those lost in the storm?

I look forward to "Chris Crucial" around this time each evening. Thank you for the 'quote' and for introducing me to new music.

Memories are sentimental. Luckily there is plenty of stuff on tape to bring them all back. Covid, tariff wars, attack on vets, lies, revolving door at cabinet.

There are also the quotes from Bolton, Barr, Kelly, Milley, and the ketchup on the wall

Phillips vs Haley

The media had to shutup early of their expected Phillips as anti-votes stiry

The media had in Haley the GOP story they expected with Phillips taking 1/3 of the votes from Trump.

I agree with Rachel M and others in MSNBC of why the media is pushing Haley to get out when she is winning more than losing in the race.

selective amnesia is something trump voters and major media outlets suffer from. Let's focus on Biden's age instead of listening to an unhinged authoritarian who is willing to kill this country as we know it.

It is not just the job of Biden's campaign to remind the voting public about trump's failed presidency, it as also the job of the media, including So What. The "So What" will be incredibly destructive if Trunp is elected.

And people wonder why I’m already depressed about the upcoming election?

So moderates Sinema and Romney are leaving the senate this year after one term each. Such a TREMENDOUS pity that they couldn’t do a bipartisan deal in the LameDuck congress at the end of 2022 to increase the minimum wage to 12 by 2028 (a dollar a year starting at 8 in 2024). A LONG time before those stars align again!
