    Oh, lookee here:

    She was a national spokesperson for MoveOn.org.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      She should be cancelled for spreading conspiracy theories:

      And, what's the over/under on how long it'll take for Peter Doocey to get called either homophobic or racist?

        Well, that was two years ago, but I'm sure it's a sign of the future:

          Plays right into the midterms. It shores up his base, which accomplishes little to nothing, and doubles down on identity politics, offending the undecided center where victory lies.

            And Mediate's take on it? Plus, quote from Biden.

            Psaki is leaving of her own accord, fulfilling a commitment she made when accepting the job in January 2021 that she would depart following year. She leaves the position in a more respectable and more transparent state any of her predecessors under the Trump administration.

            “Jen Psaki has set the standard for returning decency, respect, and decorum to the White House Briefing Room,” Biden said in the statement announcing the change. “I want to say thank you to Jen for raising the bar, communicating directly and truthfully to the American people, and keeping her sense of humor while doing so. I thank Jen [for] her service to the country, and wish her the very best as she moves forward.”

            I'll have to circle back with you on that one.

                Is she easily offended?

                If she isn't I'd advise her to learn to fake it.

                  Are you talking about President Trump or President Biden?

                  Seems to fit both equally. LOL

                    Trump doubled down on identity politics? I have actually heard that argument made, but only by overtly tribal leftists.

                          @Horace I agree. However, people (including me) have difficult in thinking that the other side has an equal view.

                              I think that is rather wrong. What we see in others is frequently that which we do not see in ourselves, but wish that we had: charm, intelligence, success, confidence, talent, etc. Were it true we would have little interest in other people.

                              I suspect that when we are irritated or even disgusted by others, we might react adversely because we realize our own frailties and susceptibilities, and it is easier to externalize our own "badness" on to others rather than do the hard work of fixing ourselves.

                              Does that make sense?

                                  By "we" I mean "everyone but 'me'", of course.

                                    I think that is rather wrong. What we see in others is frequently that which we do not see in ourselves, but wish that we had: charm, intelligence, success, confidence, talent, etc. Were it true we would have little interest in other people.

                                    I suspect that when we are irritated or even disgusted by others, we might react adversely because we realize our own frailties and susceptibilities, and it is easier to externalize our own "badness" on to others rather than do the hard work of fixing ourselves.

                                    Does that make sense?

                                    I think that's often true—it explains pretty much every internet troll out there. But it's also not a universal explanation. Sometimes, you have expectations of others—e.g., respect other people's feelings—that you perceive as not being sufficiently met. Has nothing to do with wishing you were as charismatic or confident as the blowhard in the room, and everything to do with you concluding that he's an asshole.

                                    I suspect that when we are irritated or even disgusted by others, we might react adversely because we realize our own frailties and susceptibilities, and it is easier to externalize our own "badness" on to others rather than do the hard work of fixing ourselves.

                                    Again, only sometimes. Placing a negative judgment on, say, a total douche in public is an immediate reaction and not always incorrect. Failing to live up to our own expectations has nothing to do with others' social inadequacies and how much harm they can cause everyone around them. Sure, with some introspection, we might decide to be more constructive and take the Stoic route to self-improvement instead, but not liking some assclown doesn't always have to do with projection.

                                    Please love yourself.
