And not just because there's been a vibe shift, as people keep saying, perhaps there has, but because this distracts from criticisms that might be made of Donald Trump and his agenda that could be persuasive to Americans, that will at least be necessary for the Democrats to get off the map. And I don't think they've quite worked that one out.

The little bubble that they live in is not just silly, but it's really hurting them and their ability to project politically. Chris Murphy is supposed to be exercising his duty as a senator to evaluate whether or not Elise Stefanik deserves his vote. Now, of course, we all know for various partisan reasons that he's going to vote against her.

But if those comments are aired on television or if they make it down into the newspapers of the general public, they would do nothing. You really think there are people out there who are looking at the new administration and wondering if they're secret Nazis who are persuadable that Elon Musk deliberately did a Roman salute? It's nonsense.

But there are things that both because we have a divided country, people have different ideological views, and because Trump will make mistakes and do things that are illegal or a bad idea that could be pushed out into the voters and be useful to the Democrats. That's not one of them, but it's crowding it out today. That's what they've decided to do.

today, right in the middle of a bunch of Senate hearings, right in the middle of a bunch of executive orders, many of which really represent profound policy change, and right in the middle of a bunch of pardons that probably, although I agree with Rich that they're not going to have a huge effect politically, are probably not that popular. So what are they talking about?

They're talking about whether or not Elon Musk did a Nazi salute, which nobody thinks he did, and really makes you sound very stupid if you say allowed. And I just find that baffling.

Right, so when Trump was sworn in yesterday, I said to my wife, I said, we're now going to get... a whole litany of really annoying people saying annoying things that they didn't during the Biden years. And she said, well, what sort of thing are you thinking of? And I said, I don't know.
