It’s a great show of American spirit. We debate. We don’t blindly take dictation. Never have. We don’t wait wait for “reveals.” We treat our friends and allies with respect. We apologize, we heal, we strategize and make things right. We don’t need an acronym for Being American.


It also seems nicely timed the day of several elections and the day before FreeDumb Day or whatever it is Trump thinks is happening tomorrow.

Omg this is why people hate us - wtf "being American" mean? It's just good people. Lots of countries have good people - Americans aren't all good people and we don't always make things right. We are messy, obnoxious, self righteous, lazy and a zillion other warts but so are also many other citizens around the world. We are just normal people who are sometimes right or wrong. When you make statements about how we are special, you've basically just done what you are saying we don't have to do you idiot!!! MAGA is basically the sentiment you are expressing from a context perspective.

The entire issue we have as a country is not realizing that nobody has to be perfect, we don't have to lead the world or such, we just need to be able to take care of in house shit. MAGA is a concept that expresses the anger of us being too full of ourselves.

I abhor all their ideals but I do understand why they are angry.

Duckworth highlighting the losses farmers and manufacturers are suffering from Trump.

Exactly. Republicans will give their usual complaint that childless politicians care less about the future, but not every middle aged man has to get married or have kids. America is a melting pot, a diverse nation where anything goes. The Republicans fight it but Cory lives it.

Sen. Duckworth gave him a longer break with her question. I’ve always liked what I’ve known about her.

I grew up in an immigrant family. I speak Spanish. I have always felt like Being American is very special. Maybe it’s because I am in my 40s?

I’m watching right now. This ain’t it, sorry. Even at age 55, he still seems like that goofy college football player who was groomed for this role by the globalists via the Rhodes scholar program. He projects an unconvincing faux seriousness, and it just doesn’t quite work. This kind of fake-brave rambling grandstanding is very on brand for Cory.

Nothing against Booker and not to impinge his dignity BUT— anyone who plans to do this should absolutely be wearing Depends.

He’s only 55. He probably just hasn’t found the right person yet. Some people prefer being single.

He is a solid communicator with solid ideas

We have to lead with respect and dignity. Not slander and insults. Ignore the messenger … however the message … maybe we can learn from it

Not solid enough for the big dance, unfortunately.
