Lots of youngish media folks talking the talk in rushing to judgment, reporting half-truths, and wording important headlines and storylines in misleading ways. A number of youngish politicians likewise feeling it and venturing forth with judgmental assessments without waiting for facts and then doubling down or disappearing when caught in the act. Meanwhile Old Man Biden walks the walk of diplomacy, trying to broker compromise and shared solutions while keeping his cool and seeing the bigger picture.

Someone remind me again why old age is such a vice and youth is such a virtue. I'm not seeing it here.

Tlaib is mirroring a left version of some of the more off-putting aspects of Trump and Trumpism, and as a Democrat, I'm not enjoying it.

Trump: I trust Putin over US Intelligence

Tlaib: I trust Hamas over US Intelligence

Trumpers ignore or excuse the most outrageous conduct out of Trump while attacking his critics. Trump is blameless, innocent, an angel!

Tlaib is doing the same for Gaza.
