Morning Joe

The Morning Joe panel is calling the DSA silly and stupid. The dreadful Mika is especially down on this woman, Chevalier. Chevalier, 32, beat sitting Representative Adriano Espaillat, in a stunning victory. Mayor Zohran Mamdani had “originally pledged to endorse her (Chevalier’s) opponent, the incumbent….” But, “the mayor backtracked…” (New York Times, Who is Darializa Avila Chevalier?)

Once again the panel is conflating socialism with remarks about Hamas and the police. I.e, if you are a socialist, you support Hamas. If you are a socialist, you advocate the abolition of the police.

I just received a Facebook notification that ICE is operative in our neighborhood today. Our Monday Morning Mexican crew has already left for the day so I can’t warn them. What a country.

J. D. Vance is such a putz. He was on Bill Maher. Good lord what a collection of horrid people.
