has Biden actually done anything after the debate that was disqualifying or is the building crisis entirely a bunch of media figures who took an extreme view and now need to force Biden out or eat crow, and have decided the best way to do that is destroy him electorally

He doesn't have Parkinson's so let's think of what other way we can crank out 273 more articles on how Biden's too old and let's also bring in our very rich Executive Editor Joe Kahn, heir to the Staples fortune, to pen a piece. That'll change everything and those pesky readers will shut up, right?

Yes, it’s fine to be worried about the debate, it’s fine to wish we had another nominee, it’s fine to think about how to make it happen. But the fixation on replacing has become a rationale for waging open war on DEMOCRATS, which over time is doing considerably more damage than the debate did

I think there are many people who saw the debate and came away from it believing that he is not in a good mental place and will be unable to win the election. But then they became so fixated on replacing him with someone who could win that they ignored any reality of how it might be accomplished.

Their own reporter was savagely attacked by Trump the way that Ted Cruz's family was attacked, and their reaction was a Ted Cruz reaction, which is to say to double-down on attacking Biden. Anyhow, here's Trump yesterday:

Wonderful news, warmest congratulations!

Yes indeed, and the other half who say "did you listen to it" did not in fact listen to it; they listened to a 5-second snippet on social media and reacted as the hive mind does.

Axelrod definitely earned that shade.

Also if you and @amyhoy.bsky.social needs some funds to kick off this project and get it into high gear please keep coming back to Bluesky and ask!!! This is how fascism gets defeated.

Especially when the shilling, half-penny and farthing existed. "You owe me five farthings, say the bells of St. Martin's," but that would maddeningly also be 2-1/2 half pennies or 1-1/4 pennies. But then in Orwell's "1984" it was only three farthings so 😵‍💫

Clearly this is an omen; was the state oracle present to offer a prophecy?

I had a response (below) on the PG-13 platform to that rubbish article. Is it really impossible for people to actually think this stuff all the way through before putting their names on a story that's such trash?

And also they want to ban contraception and recreational sex because sex is apparently solely about procreation:

Guess who is mayor of New York City because less than 10% of the population turned out for the primary three years ago (which is essentially the general election)? bsky.app/profile/riwo...

Three years ago less with than 10% of the city population voting in the primary ... it seems as though if you could mount an effective campaign to get voter turnout just to 15% he'd be gone.

Shared three different possibilities of what might have happened with a friend who is a former NYT scribe, and he replied "always the best theory" to my third theory: "Though since the child-scribes control the NYT online and it's a quiet weekend in July somebody could've just fucked up."

I re-read the below every day or every two days. It might well be the best editorial anywhere of the past year: "America is entering its most important, pivotal year since 1860, and the U.S. media is doing a terrible job explaining what is actually happening." www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Yes indeed thank you and obviously you have achieved Samadhi for making this astute observation.

Exactly right; as a subscriber of over four decades I twice today had conversations with my cohort likening the current failson publisher to other failson CEOs in Manhattan such as Donald J. Trump and Edgar Bronfman, Jr. To promote the Greater Good, they had one story to tell this year and failed:

And you know what? They totally earned it. I say that as a subscriber of over four decades. Publish 257 articles per week on the same theme that results in totally lopsided Opinion coverage, and you sink your battleship that has existed since 1851. Though there is still time to save the ship. /1

The lingering focus on Biden’s shaky debate obscures Trump’s major verbal miscues | Editorialwww.inquirer.com The president must now convince voters he has the mental acuity to do the toughest job in the world. The same bar does not exist for Trump, who loses no points for incoherence or incompetence.

"What we have got to focus on is policy" and to remind the American public on a daily basis the Biden administration has been exceptionally successful on policy.
