It’s been true for decades: as far as the Democrats are concerned — “The only good Republican, is a dead Republican.”

Krugman often goes off his meds.

Krugman went full retard 30 years ago. He is Maureen Dowd without the personality. I said Maureen Dowd.... Showtime.

The day Krugman dies is the day journalism improves in the USA

They finally gave Rhett’s (Clark Gable) final answer you little twit. (A different t word is more appropriate!)

Oh please. Dems are the epitome of slander.

All my life, the common epithet is “NAZI”. (No, it did not start with Trump as some here would have us believe.)

The "grown-ups" were there because we had important tasks to achieve -- beating the Germans and the Japanese, countering Soviet moves, building post-war prosperity, and even putting a man on the moon. The country agreed about those goals and it was a matter of finding the right way to achieve them. So we got men (and yes, they were almost all men) with experience in other fields to achieve them.

Now we don't have agreement about common goals. People who get in power tend to want to implement their ideology, rather than achieve some clear, agreed-upon national objective. In contrast to the days of the "grown-ups" the whole system has become unserious and detached from fundamental necessities. So if you go to the businesses and colleges and institutions that gave us yesterday's "wise men" the people you get really aren't worth much, since they've spent their time pursuing illusory objectives.

That, and everybody back then went through the war and didn't have much tolerance for BS.

When Dole was running for office libs hated him...

Dear Paul, all the people you hang out with ARE the children.
Which, of course, makes you the little boy on the playground crying because his “friends” are so mean and the game isn’t fun anymore.

Impeach 46, and the party he rode in on.

The same University that employs Eddie Glaude employs him.

I am glad Americans are still armed.
The hatred spewed against white Americans is chilling.

[Little Ray]

She is definitely a grown up!

Good post. In the absence of a common enemy the people will turn on themselves.

‘Where Have All the Grown-ups Gone?’

They are independents now.

Krugman tweeted an insane article in 2020, from left-wing outlet Vox headlined, “A disturbing new study suggests Sean Hannity’s show helped spread the coronavirus.” He captioned it with a disgusting screed against the Fox News host: “Blood on his hands, or actually his mouth.”
