Biden guts the “Defund the police” stupidity

— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) March 2, 2022

Wilson’s not wrong, as a political adviser. But my heart is with Popehat, and the idea that we de-militarize the police and give them more help by giving them less responsibility (and holding them more responsible).

I say it goes long, but he knew how to end it.

(Lauren Boebert, it is revealed, shouted out just as Biden mentioned the loss of his son Beau. It was the turd in the punch bowl moment of the night. Timing is everything, and a little respect goes a long way. She needs to go a long way: back to Colorado.)

(Correction: the worst/longest part is the talking heads telling you what you just heard and why you should be dissatisfied with it.)
