Hey, NYT! How about “(This candidate) is too insane and demented to be an effective president”?

Go ahead, I dare you. 🤔😉😊

Judicial cowardice. I find it VERY telling that none of the SCOTUS decision addressed, even once, whether or not Trump engaged in insurrection. The have overturned the 14th amendment and that is NOT in fact within the powers of the SCOTUS.

“The Supreme Court on Monday unanimously sided with Donald Trump, “

It’s that “unanimously” that I find most concerning.

“Having WROTE about Washington Post columnist and perennial bore Kathleen Parker…

How the media present the two stories? …

To treat him in the same WAS as a former Senator and Secretary of State…”

I’m honestly not positive “wrote” should be “written” so while it gave me a moments pause I brushed it off. But then came the next two which are extremely unusual for you. This is how my own writing goes when I’m not up to playing editor and checking it.

So while I’m probably inferring far too much between the lines, with all sincere concern text can’t convey (no vocal inflection), I do hope you’re feeling okay and not having a bad anemia (or whatever) day.

Like Valerie, I am going to cancel my subs to NYT and WaPo. I can get plenty of biased news from ABC and CNN for free. Beyond that, I give up. I'm tired of fighting with my friends who are RFKJR fangirls (I rarely engage with my Trump-leaning former friends and family). His COVID-conspiracy platform is playing really well in the yoga, naturopath and holistic wellness communities. I'm sick of late night comedians and SNL portraying Biden as old and senile, and Trump as completely harmless and somewhat charming with his muddled pop culture gaffes. I'm sick of ABC and NBC always giving Trump and the GOP the last word, seemingly negating any potentially negative story ("Trump denies the allegations and calls it a witch hunt, back to you David."). As a non-passable trans person with a target on my back at all hours, I'm sick of dreading what's basically inevitable at this point. I'm gonna try to enjoy this summer, and I'll vote for Biden this fall. If he wins, I'll buckle in for the shit show we'll see between 11/5 and the midterms. I would not doubt Trump announces his candidacy for 2028 by Thanksgiving 2024 just to play the "election interference" card through his trials. And if Biden loses, and Project 2025 collapses democracy, NATO, and the world order, I know exactly what mile marker on the bridge will yield the most certain bang for my buck once I park my car at 3:00 AM and jump.
