FWIW Not bad. It’s too close for comfort but we have a long way to go. We just have to keep our heads down and plow ahead. I will never understand this: BIDEN Americans give President Biden a negative 38 – 54 percent job approval rating, compared to a negative 41 – 54 percent job approval rating in June. Registered voters give him a negative 40 – 53 percent job approval rating compared to a negative 42 – 54 percent job approval rating in June. Americans were asked about President Biden’s handling of… the response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: 43 percent approve, while 48 percent disapprove; foreign policy: 39 percent approve, while 53 percent disapprove; the economy: 37 percent approve, while 58 percent disapprove. I guess a lot of people just hate the guy no matter what he does. But they’ll vote for him anyway? What? It’s kind of depressing because it shows that a whole lot of Democrats are completely clueless about what’s actually happening and are as deluded as the cultists. Hooray for tribalism, I guess…

He’s not good at this Jonathan Chait points out that he just refuses answer questions and he does it so obviously that even gullible GOP voters can see it: Florida governor Ron DeSantis abandoned his policy of only speaking to Republican Party–aligned media by giving an interview to CNN’s Jake Tapper. Unfortunately, taking questions is just one part of doing an interview. The other part is answering them. DeSantis conspicuously refused to answer any of the most newsworthy questions posed to him. Tapper asked DeSantis if he would sign a national six-week abortion ban like the one he signed in Florida: “Yes or no, will you support that?” DeSantis did not say yes or no: Tapper asked if he would stop arming Ukraine or stop giving it financial support. DeSantis did not answer that, either. Instead, he framed the question as being about sending American troops there. “A vital national interest means we would send troops to Ukraine.” He eventually said, “I am not gonna diminish our stocks, and not send to Taiwan, and not gonna make us less capable to exigencies.
