The NYT accuses Joe Biden of "painting" Donny Trump a felon? It's leading every news organization to the position that there is no objective reality, and no facts unless someone calls them that.
I think the NYT's owners really want Trump back in office. They agree with him. And everything he does makes publishing a newspaper a license to print money: from his McDonald's diet to his promised violent retribution against those who've done nothing but oppose him. Democracy? Meh.
Kim Kardashian thinks spending a birthday with her kids is "torture." They probably think so too. I guess Donald Trump is not the only global narcissist in America.
"Serving sizes" aren't suggested as much as they are designed to suggest you're taking in far fewer empty calories of ultra-processed foods than you are. Otherwise, they're cute. :-)
Donny Trump seems a lot like Mr. Todd from Waugh's, A Handful of Dust. Not just the part where he's illiterate and commits heinous crimes to have someone read to him in the jungle. It includes how he makes his "extended family."
Ironically, the NYT's lavishly compensated David Brooks (Philadelphia Main Line, Chicago '83) is from the same conservative elites, whom he imagines are losing ground on American college campuses.
That will surprise the members of the elite, who comprise their boards of governors. But victimhood is an old shtick with Brooks, as it is for Trump. He deploys it as sheep's clothing, to hide his prickly ears and sharp teeth.
"Americans love a strong leader. Donald Trump scores high with many voters precisely because he acts like a despotic strongman, seemingly unrestrained by rules, laws, international agreements, or even social conventions. By contrast, Joe Biden is a competent and cool executive, leading an administration that adheres to established norms, operates by consultation, and follows the data-driven advice of experts." But what does it mean that Biden is now showing a tougher side? Jay Kuo digs into this question in last week's piece from The Big Picture. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/biden-tough-israel-russia-border
Those who want a fantasy "strong man" - exactly what Trump is, a fantasy tough guy - define it as bullying, NOT following the rules, and getting what you want at any price. They've been worn down by a system that doesn't promote their interests and regard the rules as rigged. His followers just assume their tough guy won't make them pay the price.
LOL. Economically, Trump's followers will be the first people he throws under the bus. But his real enemy is the rule of law.
