 Former Biden chief of staff says no ‘big’ strategy needed for Trump: He’s ‘busy taking himself down every day’
by Miranda Nazzaro - 04/28/24 3:19 PM ET

Former White House chief of staff Ron Klain on Sunday dismissed the need for President Biden to have a “big political strategy” against former President Trump, arguing the former president does enough harm to himself.

“I don’t think it’s a big political strategy to take down Donald Trump. I think Trump is busy taking himself down every day,” Klain said Sunday during an interview with MSNBC host and former White House press secretary Jen Psaki.

“And it’s important, though, for the president to make the contrast between the kind of presidency he’s brought and what he’ll do for four more years, and [what] Donald Trump has done, what Trump himself is saying he’s going to if he gets the chance to come back to the White House,” he added.

Klain’s remarks were in response to Psaki, who pointed to Biden’s speech at this weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, where he poked fun at the former president.

When asked what he thinks of Biden’s strategy to “needle” Trump, Klain said, “I think it’s the party of it.”

“I think the president loves to campaign. He loves being out there with people. He loves working the rope live and engaging voters, and so he gets in a good mood when he’s out on the road, and so the jokes come,” Klain continued.

Is it though?  The billionaires get tax deferrals.  The bottom half of households get all sorts of handouts, contribute practically nothing to the federal government, and still pretend they are getting ripped off.

What is the precise definition of "income"?

From the article...

Sure, it’s a fact of life on farms and ranches that animals will have to be put down, but to do so in anger, as Noem apparently did, is appalling. The dog was young, and she had failed to train it properly or keep it under control.


Yup

She has poor impulse control so in that sense she's a perfect VP pick for Trump

NOPE. I'd have done the same damn thing.... Hell, I HAVE DONE the same dang thing.

We live in a global economy [...]
Same argument from  the isolationist today. "Our Founding  fathers said to keep out of foreign entanglements"  Well George and crew did not have to deal with intercontinental ballistic missiles, cyber attacks from  3500 miles  away from rogue nations.

That is somehow a call to submit to globalism? Not by a long, long shot.
Foreign entanglements indeed. Ol George was a prophet.

The federal government could try cutting spending instead. Just a thought

ICEs didn't require any subsidies to effectively make horse-and-buggy obsolete within years, despite the fact that prior to the introduction of the Ford Model T there were few paved roads and few gas stations.

We live in a global economy and US companies will move in a heartbeat to another country with cheaper labor.   China and S. Korea and now Vietnam heavily subsidizes their EV industry. Way more than what we do. If we do not subsidize our home grown EV industry these countries  will become the leaders and we will have to buy the technology and products from them.

Numerous companies such as Green Bean battery company are popping  up to rehab old batteries and resell them for a 1/4 of the cost of new.  The free market is taking care of the battery problems.
I believe this is how Interstate battery company was started-rehabbing used batteries but it's been a while.

I am well aware. I have rebuilt two personally. Still even at that it was fifteen hundred bucks in parts and the expertise to try.

But then I DO buy/sell. It's my thing to buy busted sh*t and fix it to sell it for a profit.
And I can tell you right now that a EV that needs a battery will be worth nothing. Worse than a minivan that needs a transmission.

Only half of Teslas now use cobalt. The EV industry is getting away from Lithium and cobalt and or only using minimum amounts through innovation.

Yo ticturd.  You know what is innovative?   Let the market sort it out.  Take your EV shill ass out of here.  No one is buying what you are selling.

  For example, the cobalt used in my iPhone is predominantly from recycled sources.  The same cannot be said for your EV.
