Of course. But no one needs an exact location. Just less-vague clues about the nation or state would give it a little context. I hope your family stays safe and this GFM is wildly successful

Not news that NYTimes does everything it can to undermine Biden, and today's reporting on his interview on ABC was vintage Grey Lady.

Jeepers. Sounds like what Australians do to whistleblowers they do to whistleblowers in Mississippi, the poorest state in the USA. Thanks Dreyfus.

It’s so obvious! I don’t know how people can’t see it. People HATE Trump. The only thing that might cause folks to hesitate would be say…a candidate with brain damage.

This is an awful story, but the GFM narrative provides zero info that could help verify that narrative. Location, for instance would really help allay concerns that this might be a scam. From here, I initially thought this was in Australia (where I live) until the bit about the southern humidity

Apparently Brian Tamaki was on The Platform calling for homosexuality to be re-criminalised in New Zealand. What do you lesbian TERF cheerleaders think about that? Still think it’s good and cool to support him and his events? You’ll let leopards eat your face just to be mean to trans women.

The thing about colour film is the same thing about vinyl recordings over digital - it lets your imagination fill in those microspaces, so the audience does the compression in a way that enhances the enjoyment. For some. Not you I guess.

on the very day the Supreme Court's conservatives said 'we know best' and put themselves in charge of complicated agency decisions one of the geniuses confused nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide. So they had to have a do over. Not exactly an auspicious start.

Tired of the casual abelism in "Joe Biden has dementia." Are you a physician? Are you even a mental health professional? You have NO expertise. Plus, dementia is real and devastating, not the butt of a shitty joke that's already been made. Shut your damn mouth and fix your heart.

Do you think the NYTimes would ask a narcissistic psychopath to do something for the 'Good of the Country'? Why bother? Trump does stuff only for himself. The implicit msg seems to me that Trump must be defeated and they don't think Biden can pull that off. Which is a fair take, it seems.

at first, I thought it was a bit rich for the NYTimes to call for Biden to step down "for the good of the country", but not to call for Trump to do that. But then of course Trump only does things that are good for him and him alone, so no point calling him to step aside.

Did the NY Times opinion section suggest Trump should drop out given that he couldn't get through half a sentence that was (1) actually in response to the question asked or (2) truthful?

Factual claims are fine, but they are not the only time of reasonable claim. I read his post as a bit of nuanced analogy which is valid on its own terms.

Biden can’t change his age but he can change his unconditional support for war crimes. If he refuses to do that, a loss in November is his fucking fault.
