There is nothing America's ammosexuals love more than providing a bunch of personal info and having their faces scanned to be run through a govt database.

I used to live by an able-bodied young man (probably late 20's) who dressed up like an old man from the 30's or 40's and hobbled around town with a cane every time he left the house. He kept this up for a *remarkably* long time. Years

Exactly. Trump's own agenda is 100% personal. He wants revenge and immunity for Donald J. Trump. Plus he's lazy and insane. This actually *necessitates* that he put his army of ghouls in charge of all of the real things.

Not to support that a-hole Roberts but this is sadly pretty common across the country to have these legacy terms in deeds. They are unenforceable but most who have them are not aware and they are not easy to remove

For about the millionth time, I’ll just say — having a public editor who could ask people how this happened and lay it out for readers would actually make the paper look better than fucking up this badly and then walking away from it without saying a word.

Maybe it's New York itself. Maybe this is a piece with the NY Dem Party of Eric Adams and Hochul that is way off in the woods. A bunch of people who are so caught up in believing they are still Dems in a city/state with a moribund GOP, that they don't realize they're actually just conservative?

I'm at a loss. Do none of the lower-level editors or journalists have more self-respect than this? I figured the NYT was the one media outlet I'd be able to stick with, but I'm going to have to drop them. They're just in the Trump camp. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck....

We need to start pushing the line that if you think Biden is too old and about to croak, then a vote for Biden IS a vote for Kamala.

You’d think that some of the hundred hard hitting investigative journalists at NYT would be at least a bit curious about why editorial is behaving this way. Seems like maybe a story

They might be the last group of old establishment/elite conservatives to realize that the old establishment isn't in charge of jack shit. They should ask Mitt or Jeb or Liz Cheney if they are actually in charge.

I think what reveals how unaware of this they are is that they don’t realize that their lives actually hang in the balance here. They will be the first targeted. And they just seem to be completely unaware of this.

What accountability has Trump faced that has actually been made final? E Jean Carroll. Paid the first $5M. Larger $80M judgement is in appeals. NY civil case: $175M bond of OPM and in appeals until probably next year NY crim. trial: guilty but sentence unknown and now delayed Anything else?

I am familiar with Grants Pass and similar communities in Oregon. What this means on the ground level is that these cities will try and to some extent succeed in making it untenable to be homeless there, fully cognizant that this will push this population to larger towns nearby. In this case, 1/2

I acknowledge Biden's drawbacks, but for the sitting incumbent President to run for a second term against a guy he already beat is just the most natural thing to happen. It is not a conspiracy. When was the last time a party did not run a sitting first term president for reelection?

At this point, I would say that it is very very weird. It is not happening organically, and the people involved, including the columnists and journalists should now be pressured to explain themselves.
