Fucking unbelievable that the big publications are running with this as the lead story after the Supreme Court just promised to install a convicted felon rapist insurrectionist as Emperor for Life.

Who also had a notoriously lax work ethic as president! Do we not all remember “executive time”? What reason is there to believe Trump is any more up to the rigors of the job than Biden? Because he’s shouty?

Serious question: what the fuck is it gonna take to fight back against the media doing this again? Is it deep dives into the authors and exposing them as hacks (I know the anti-voting NYT article was penned by a hack)

Uhh, this is exactly *why* they're running this story — because the one person in a position to respond to the Court's overreach is clearly not up to the job of stopping the guy who will end the Republic with the power he has just been handed.

Maybe it's because they understand the stakes and are freaking tf out because they know Biden isn't up to the task. Also, that opinion dropped on Monday afternoon, London time, and this is a weekly news magazine.
