It’s a concerted effort to reelect Trump.
Biden is just the guy in the way right now and if he drops out the engine will turn against his replacement within minutes.
I don't post often on Substack, but today felt like a good day to write about my decision to cancel my @nytimes.com subscription. I'd been wanting to for a while, but the last straw was them publishing the "hey, you don't need to vote" nonsense. Enjoy!

In the spirit of the day, I would fully support putting the whole sorry lot that greenlit this op-ed in the stocks for the day for citizens to throw rotten fruit at them
I am pretty confident that the GOP blocking a VP pick would not be like the Garland thing but would be a crisis that would lead to a lot of things unraveling all at once.
A lot of these people are going to be in for a rude awakening when they figure out that the piece of paper (that they just smeared shit all over no less) won’t protect them from people with guns.
I think this is definitely true but I also think that MLS has really dragged Concacaf up a few notches. The cronyism + nepotism in US Soccer and the insularity + cronyism in FMF are 100% self-inflicted and probably a bigger problem than playing Honduras a bunch.
Obed Vargas in Seattle is a good example - he's 18 and ready to move up to a better league but since he's about to get a Mexican passport, he's almost certainly going to end up in Liga MX as those clubs are kind of required to overpay for Mexican nationals.
I don't think the MLS is much of an issue - it's hard to say how much worse it is than the Dutch, Belgian or Portuguse leagues but it's not that much and those countries field very good teams.
Ligue 1 might be closer in talent to MLS than it is to the bigger European leagues as well.
Skimming over this but it sounds more like they are not saying anything new but that is not the same thing as dismissing the idea.
Maybe I’m misreading but the headline seems too negative.
