President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

If you consult the official policy statements of every media outlet in the land, they'll say, "We don't use anonymous sources." And they all do.
If I had a dollar for every time the editor of my last paper said, "We don't use anonymous sources," I wouldn't have had to work another day in my life. The pronouncement would come about every six to nine months. And within a week, the alleged dictum would be broken.
I'm interested to see how many of them follow ABC's lead and rely on the anonymous on this story.

 

I hope that guy checked to make sure his pension is safe before he posted that.

 

in a separate rant, I suggested it’s a matter of when not if Trump dies in office

 

Especially given their apparent fear of Trump. This is from The Atlantic, which has had some excellent reads today.

Republican Leaders Are More Afraid of Trump Than Ever

And this is a pretty comprehensive story on Stephen Miller, from 2018, also in the The Atlantic.

Trump’s Right-Hand Troll

 

This is the main story of the election

 

And, yeah, Gabbard sounds just grand.

Tulsi Gabbard’s Nomination Is a National-Security Risk

The article floats the idea that, perhaps knowing Gabbard may not be confirmable, Trump has someone else, worse, in mind for the Director of National Intelligence post.

 

Somebody personally subservient to Vladimir Putin??

 

Exactly. Her "in" with and support of Putin are why she was nominated, I'm sure. I meant to make that point when I posted the link. But I've been reading so many links, I'm starting to lose track of why, particularly, I wanted to post them here. I hope everyone reads all the links. Really, The Atlantic is doing some good work.

And Gabbard's appointment, basically, is a tell that Trump works for Putin. This just keeps going from bad to worse.

 

Donald Trump is motivated by greed and revenge. Since deep in his declining brain he knows he lost in 2020, his enemies now include all of us. He is on a mission to destroy the United States of America. It's way better than even money he succeeds.
Siri, what was the effect of Stalin's purges on the USSR's military readiness in 1941?

 

Ain't that America, home of the dangerously misinformed
