I’m sad that I feel alone in: - acknowledging Ford’s pain & story - believing that Kavanaugh has the presumption of innocence - deploring the way Feinstein handled this matter - thinking Mitchell’s ?s are important - scrutinizing some of the media’s more reckless reporting

Re NJ polling. Same polls that had us losing by double digits also said last year that PM had a 70+ approval rating on COVID. He then used those polls as license to do whatever he wanted-shuttering businesses, closing parks, masking 2 year olds, etc. How many lives were ruined?

A Murphy guy on Twitter said ⁦Jack⁩ can go to all the diners he wants, and it won’t matter. That’s probably because if Phil walked into a diner, people would probably ask for their check & a to-go box. At Daily Treat in Ridgewood btw - not exactly a GOP town.
