Why Clinton's claim that Democratic presidents created more jobs than Republicans is slightly misleading by [[Maz Zahn]] on 2024-08-22 for ABC News

While Clinton may have left out additional detail, the root of the statement is not only broadly true, but broadly representative of the fact that Republican administrations have been devastating in general to the economy and Democrats have been handed shit at the start of their terms to clean up.

In den USA versuchen die Republikaner, Zugeständnisse bei der Anhebung der Schuldengrenze dazu zu benutzen, Klimaschutz-Regelungen der Biden-Administration zu kippen und zugleich mehr Investitionen in fossile Brennstoffe durchzusetzen. Eine Anhebung der Schuldengrenze ist notwendig, damit die amerikanische Regierung ihre laufenden Geschäfte weiter finanzieren kann. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/21/us/politics/debt-ceiling-energy-policy.html

David Brooks here (coins?) uses the phrase "normie Republican" to describe Republicans who tend to center rather than to the far right, Christian right, or who are Trump Republicans. Some of those people might describe these normie Republicans as Rhinos (Republicans in name only.)

Typically I've only seen "normie" used by those who identify as ADHD, Aspergers, or otherwise on the (neurodiverse) spectrum to describe average people who don't display those behaviors.

Judy Woodruff: So, I just want to be clear. We're using the word normie, as in — this is a David Brooks word, right? (LAUGHTER)

David Brooks: No, this — I did not invent this. I think two generations below me invented that word. (LAUGHTER)

Brooks admits he learned the word from others, but he's also using it with a different meaning and context than the original "normie" unadorned.
