The US currently does not have a functioning president, the identity of the person or persons running the country is unknown. But the NYT still thinks Trump is the problem.
Trump was president for four years. Nothing bad happened. The policies he intends to implement are, for the most part, positive changes. Yes, he can be crude, rude, and lewd, but he's nowhere near what the Democratic Party keeps trying to convince us he is. That they spent the last four years trying to destroy him while not in any way fostering new leaders from their ranks is the damning reality and look where it's landed them and us.
That is a really great point. Building a new cadre of statesmen across the country--what business people with brains and a real eye on the future of their enterprise call succession planning--is where the Democratic Party has failed. Not just for four years, the consequences of the blind eye to ego and power have set us back generations at home and, disastrously, abroad.
There are plenty of talking points to the contrary, but the last four years have been so terrible it really should put paid to the argument that Trump is such a unique threat that destroying all democratic norms to defeat him is somehow worth it.
I appreciate your openness to the idea that just because Trump is bad doesn’t mean Biden is good … or even worth it. Honestly I don’t know what Trump did that was all that worse or different (or better) than Bush or Obama, or Clinton would have. I know the talking points, but I don’t see the reality.
Continued wars & exploded the deficit … but if Biden isn’t careful, he’ll increase it more than Trump did.
Clinton signing NAFTA started the process that led to the "giant sucking sound" Ross Perot spoke of and that, more than anything, IMO, has led to the deep divisions in this country that have fostered much of the trouble and craziness.
I’m not voting for Trump (if at all) but what did he actually do to warrant this reputation? Said Kim Jong Il couldn’t get his rocket up? Orangeman so scary.
In the immediate aftermath of the "debate" the Democrat politicians and commentators had one message, so uniform it could have been pre-planned: "Biden performed disastrously, BUT Trump lied." Just like your description of the NYT editorial, they didn't appear to notice the blindingly obvious: Biden repeating (or trying to) the old lies, not just on the economy, etc, but most obviously the Charlottesville lie, which even left wing media have debunked now it's served its purpose. I appreciate your position at the ever-moving border between left and right, and your courage in "arguing."
While Joe B’s debate performance was horrendous, the really terrifying spectacle was Jill B helping him off the stage. Every American needs to look at that before voting.
Most normal thinking people watching that debate now understand the reason for the Afghanistan withdrawal shit show we had to endure on our TV screens. Biden’s inability to think cogently for more than ten minutes most likely led to the unnecessary deaths of those 13 US Troops and numerous civilians during those last chaotic days. US troop casualties, incidentally, that he obviously couldn’t remember during the debate - what an enormous snub to their families! This man is the current C in C of a considerable arsenal of weaponry!!! Now if that doesn’t concern the NYT journalists then they are plainly not journalists. Instead, they are shameless political activists and have created this nightmare by stubbornly, and knowingly, supporting an infirm old man in order to keep a political opponent out of the WH! And these are the people who are supposed to our moral and highly educated betters! They had better bloody wake up and start doing their job if they want to save what’s left of America’s standing and credibility in the world. Bloody stupid, useful idiots.
Not only is it obvious that Biden is very ill, he is most likely suffering from Lewy Bodies Dementia in my opinion. Anyone with personal experience of this particular type of the disease will instantly recognise the symptoms - periods of cogency and normal behaviour interspersed with stumbling and rambling speech, face freezing and impaired motor function etc. They also hallucinate and particularly imagine children and pets - that could explain the sudden bending at the knees we have all witnessed lately. There is obviously a medical team in the background and he is probably on a lot of medication to keep him going. It all sends a chill down my spine as it reminds me of the film - The Manchurian Candidate! You can imagine the secret operating rooms behind every wall of every official space he occupies. Really disturbing stuff!
The whole charade is a shameful power game that has been played by the Democrats, their powerful donors and the ruling elite of the country. They have used their considerable wealth to influence the Media Corporations that many of them have financial fingers in. These people have brought America to a new low point for their own greedy ends and they have to be stopped, NOW, before it’s all too late. The only consolation is that at least this will tear the Democrats apart as two distinct camps will undoubtedly start to form between now and the election - those against and those for Biden. The jig seems to be up for them - fingers crossed.
It is clear that Biden is not running the country. It can be argued that he probably hasn’t been for the majority of his tenure. That means unelected Democrats have assumed the function of the President of the United States. These are people we cannot question nor impeach. It can be argued that Biden’s Cabinet, as well as close colleagues, are aware of this situation. It may be argued that the MSM and legacy media knew this also, but at the very least they were aware of how cognitively feeble he had become. All of these persons kept it secret and actively sought to gaslight the American people by lying and stating the opposite.
Is it fair to say that these unknown Democrats staged a coup and have been illegally occupying the White House and handling our affairs - foreign and domestic? With so many collaborators running cover for them, it appears that a “soft revolution” occurred right under our noses.
That's exactly how I see it. There was a coup, they just didn't issue a press release announcing it. So the media could pretend it never happened. It's mad.
the Intelligentsia are in full on panic mode and we get to witness the schism of their psyche in real time. it would be incredibly entertaining if the stakes weren’t so high.
regardless, the cracks are starting to show and some daylight is finally getting in. to these vampire elite, that light is their death and they know it. as MLK was fond of quoting, “No Lie Can Live Forever”...I just pray that these monsters don’t try and take the rest of the country down with them as they circle the drain.
Beautifully put Jenny.. you nailed it. TDS is an amazingly effective drug is it not? The deranged and frightened sheep all heading over the cliff together to be dashed upon the rocky shores of tyranny.
Apparently, those who get their news solely from big media pushing leftist propaganda were actually shocked by Biden's condition at the debate, something that people paying attention to conservative media have known about for some time. There is a T-shirt with a saying, "Normal isn't coming back, Jesus is." Let's do what we can as good citizens to delay the decay, but let's realize where the world is headed as predicted in Scripture. Stay close to Jesus Christ.
Now we know: the NYT lied about Bidrn to help him and his controllers. Now the question: how many lies have they told, and are still telling, about Trump to hurt him and help the Biden controllers?
Well put. Any respectable -- that is true --- newspaper would be digging in to who is running the country and reporting that. It isn't the Vice President (thank God!).
The NYT Editorial staff needs to visit their mortician.
It was strange how Biden could hide in his basement during the 2020 election and still win. Now we know why,...What we don't know is who has been running the government for the last 3 1/2 years.
Interestingly, Obama was the first to pipe in and say that Biden will stay in the race after that disaster. Kinda makes you wonder why he visits the White House so frequently?? Hmmm
I still hold out the bemused hope that at some point this next week we will see at least one "it's time to make peace with RFK jr." trial balloon floated out in the legacy media world.
Choosing RFK, Jr. as their nominee would make a lot of sense for the Democrats but then they are not known for their judgment and Trump has already proven himself capable of the presidency.
Problem there is two parties. R and D NCs are in charge of this whole game. No one gets on a “debate” stage, ie national 90 advert, but their guys. Johnson/Weld in 2016, polling at 20 percent nationwide were barred. Whispers of marijuana derailed that ticket. Anti-vax is keeping Kennedy in the box. Who is Oz behind the screen letting all this happen?
The problem is that Kamala is our new president if Joe steps down or is forced out under the 25th amendment. So much for saving our democracy. We will just let the cloud people appoint presidents. Those grimy dirt people just cling to their guns and religion. They don’t deserve to vote.

But but but! The adults are back in charge, remember??!

This is the sort of juvenile hysteria we've come to expect from the Nation's Foremost College Newspaper.
"Nation's Foremost College Newspaper" lol. 😂

It really does look pre-planned, doesn't it? The only other possibility is that they truly dumb, ill-informed, and clueless.
While Joe B’s debate performance was horrendous, the really terrifying spectacle was Jill B helping him off the stage. Every American needs to look at that before voting.
If Americans actually get to vote on Biden v Trump i'd be surprised at this point.
Ever the cheerleader...

Also everyone needs to listen to this:

I have no doubt the Democrats can "win", regardless of the nuisance that voting represents.
the Intelligentsia are in full on panic mode and we get to witness the schism of their psyche in real time. it would be incredibly entertaining if the stakes weren’t so high.
regardless, the cracks are starting to show and some daylight is finally getting in. to these vampire elite, that light is their death and they know it. as MLK was fond of quoting, “No Lie Can Live Forever”...I just pray that these monsters don’t try and take the rest of the country down with them as they circle the drain.
What is hilarious is how many people think we can vote our way out of this.
The alternative is frightening.
Beautifully put Jenny.. you nailed it. TDS is an amazingly effective drug is it not? The deranged and frightened sheep all heading over the cliff together to be dashed upon the rocky shores of tyranny.
Thank you!
This is brilliant and sharp, Jenny.
Thank you!

I like to say, "Mainstream Media is independent media 4 years late."
Now we know: the NYT lied about Bidrn to help him and his controllers. Now the question: how many lies have they told, and are still telling, about Trump to hurt him and help the Biden controllers?
Yup....
There is nothing un-democratic about my telling you I find your many comments a boring waste of time.
Well put. Any respectable -- that is true --- newspaper would be digging in to who is running the country and reporting that. It isn't the Vice President (thank God!).
Biden's mortician did a great job on his makeup.
The NYT Editorial staff needs to visit their mortician.

Doubtful. But who knows, we are in unchartered waters here.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
Biden; “It’s hard to debate a liar.”
Trump; “No it wasn’t”
😅 the epitome of a born-bred Queens, NYer.
