It's not like normalizing fascism is uncharted territory for them. It's a long and sacred tradition.
Congratulations to the New York Times, who not only fucked up the 2016 election by publishing the Hilary emails shit weeks before that election, the relentless op-ed bullshit for the past month will certainly put into question the chances the Dems had of winning in 2024.
But I bet you sold a lot of newspapers stoking the fires of fascism, so great job NYT!
I've been staying out of the discussion over Biden's candidacy, and I probably still will. But I wanted to express my gratitude for him defeating Trump last time, and for a term that was more productive than many, me included, expected. His deep contrast as a person and a leader to Trump was a huge relief, and I'm thankful for it.
Newsom is my governor, and I love him, but he can't be VP. He'd drag the ticket down. He's too San Francisco for most of the country, and too corporate for the extreme leftists. He'd be attacked from both sides.
The most important thing to me this November is that Donald Trump loses, but it would also be pretty damn cool to have a Black woman president. So let's do this.

Cheney is horrible. She's a broken clock that happened to be right, once. She's still Darth Cheney's daughter and a Republican.
The assholes got their wish.
They're going to wish they hadn't

I will never forgive The New York Times for bringing this to pass. They violated the journalistic norms they claim to uphold in their vindictive campaign against him. They hounded him out of office. They'd best not crow and they'd best not do the same to Kamala Harris. But I have no faith they can restrain themselves. Same to the Post.
I have every confidence that Republicans will do whatever they can to screw things up.

My field is fairly technical, and someone in HR likely knows nothing about any job I'd be qualified for. So it's all down to buzzwords, and a guessing game - which buzzwords might the technical manager have written down and told the HR wonk to look for?
If I've guessed right, I get an interview, or a phone call to get more information. If I've guessed wrong, I get a letter thanking me for wasting both our time, but "we're still exploring our options."
Poll after poll finds majorities want #Trump to withdraw. That info's in the 14th or 15th graph of every write up of a poll showing that Biden's unpopular.
Trump's unfavorables, 54%, are 2 pts better than Biden's 56% in 538's avg.
Most people wanting the convicted felon not to run just isn't a story for some reason. Shit like his "black outreach" gets more coverage.
But people are still in denial about the media's role in this mess.
