Yep, out of control.

Biden addressed it effectively by talking directly to the camera to commiserate with the audience, I thought. Trump didn't do himself any favors with anyone other than his hard core base tonight. And wtf was that call out to the Proud Boys? Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

But I have to say, that debate did help me reach a conclusion. I have concluded that I need to adopt a Lewis Black attitude toward the president and his supporters. Years ago, when Lewis Black was asked about Sarah Palin, he said he could not talk about her because she wasn't real. She was a fiction. He said he had decided she was a fiction because he could not live in a world where Sarah Palin was a real person. I'm going to try my best to adopt that philosophy about the president and his supporters. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

That started during the town hall meetings in the run-up to pass the ACA. Mission accomplished last night. If there was anyone still looking to gain new information on Biden's plans to make up their mind, they got nothing. Ergo: base satisfied, other side no gain. Win-win.
