What a disgrace, what a totally backwards and against our own interests political climate they’ve created. And voters actually believe it against their own interests, it’s amazing. I mean I guess it’s kind of a recursive problem, without enough education the population doesn’t realize it needs better education and how to achieve that, but I believe politicians and the media bear much of the responsibility for pushing us in this direction.

      Government officials conspiring with Big Tech to censor millions of Americans online.
      The Federal government human trafficking over 10,000,000 illegal aliens. Thanks Barry!
      A President who took deliberate actions to eliminate the southern border weaker.
      Congress and the media labeling a protest as an “insurrection” while calling actual riots, “peaceful protests.”
      The American people turning a blind eye to a President who clearly is suffering from dementia and pretending that everything is all right.
      The intentional weaponization of the Federal Government against a vast swath of the American people.
      The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs stating that he would inform China if we opted to take military action against them.
      Our public schools being turned into indoctrination centers by Barry and the democrats
      Being told there are more than two sexes and that we had to agree to that or be ostracized.

      The democrat FBI actively creating and taking part in crimes in order to make arrests.

      Governments trying to ban gas stoves, regulate air conditioners, and ban wood-fired ovens.
      Students taking out loans then demanding that they not have to pay the money back.
      Our military spending hours not training for war, but training on diversity and rooting out extremists.
      Mobs robbing stores because they know they won’t be arrested; and stores having to lock up items they sell out of fear of being robbed.
      Disney turning its back on family-centric content in favor of XXX material that offends its largest customer base.
      Where democrats can question election results with no ramifications, but anyone else is labeled a conspiracy theorist.
      Democrat officials picking and choosing what laws they will follow and which ones they will ignore.
      Americans still afraid of the Chinese Wuhan virus four years after its outbreak.
      Joe and Barry making citizens choose between being forced to take a shot of vaccine or losing their careers.
      Our democrat government monitoring words used in the banking system to spy on us.
      An unarmed white protester murdered in the Capitol and the black officer involved is promoted rather than brought to trial.
      The President declaring that the Constitution is fluid and subject to political interpretation.
      The ships of the U.S. Navy rusting.

He shines. In the end… he always speaks with humanity, integrity, knowledge, intelligence, professionalism, character, educated… and love. In the end it always comes down to love. The love for the work one does, the love for others and the world, the love for goodness and kindness, for a better world. Nobody uses the importance of words like Lawrence.

Biden is telling Israel to stop killing terrorists. Biden is allowing a bunch of backwoods terrorists to stop international shipping. And China is ramping up its leverage on Taiwan while Biden complains about the size of ice cream containers.

      Isn't it just amazing how all of Trump's MAGA plans are so agreeable to dictator Putin? And how he is able to disguise it all as concern for debt or peace or the need to spend on Americans instead? And how the GOP are the first to always cut funding for such domestic programs? The MAGA folks just don't know how gullible and brainwashed they are.

    Here's a tidbit I picked up when looking at FDR's first year in office. Roosevelt's plans for getting America to economic recovery partly depended on the banks cooperating. When Roosevelt took office, the banks embraced his plans, as the Great Depression had tanked banking across the country. After one year though, things had already improved enough that the banks wanted to return to their previous practices. That would have ended the recovery and probably kicked off a new depression. Roosevelt, by force of personality and from what support he had, held firm to his vision, and America emerged fully (at that time) from what had destroyed so many peoples' livings and personal security. They may not have been wealthy, but there was general equity and improvement for the majority of Americans.

      It was driven by the loss of the Fairness Doctrine which was destroyed by Ronald Reagan. Also, when the networks moved the news rooms into profit centers vs their own operations where they often lost money. We also didn't have the cancer of Fox News and other right wing tv and radio media funded by dark money right wing billionaires like Rupert Murdoch who want to destroy our democracy and sell it off for parts - just for tax cuts. In addition to Fox News, OAN, and News Max they also have 1,500+ AM radio stations broadcasting the same disinformation 24/7 across the U.S. That doesn't include the 350+ stations in spanish.
      Bless him, Lawrence is the only high profile person in this industry that criticises the press and news media. They rarely criticize each other and that's the root of the problem.

      While I have concerns about the age and senility of both men I have to say that Biden's accomplishments compared to Trump's as president are monumental and probably the best of any president in recent history since Ike. Trump's only accomplishment was a 2 trillion dollar revenue reducing tax cut for himself and other billionaires that average Americans would have to make up for. As long as Biden can keep doing that then he has my vote no matter how cognitive. His handlers do need to do a better job however and I pity Trump's handlers.

    For all those people who enjoyed this editorial commentary, and who believe that Joe Biden is too old and too forgetful to be a competent president, I just want to point something out to you. In this broadcast, which was excellent, Lawrence O'Donnell made a verbal slip a couple of times, talking about President Eisenhower when he clearly meant President Roosevelt. Did that ruin the gist of the editorial for you? Is Lawrence O'Donnell too old to be a good news commentator? Or did you inherently recognize what it was he intended to say, and not let that slip completely ruin the point of his commentary?
    If you can do it for Lawrence, you can do it for Joe. At least Joe knows who his wife is.
