President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Not open for further replies.
The evening began to take a different trajectory when a man appeared to faint in the crowd. Trump paused his remarks. Attendees fanned the man and began to sing "God Bless America."

WHAT THE HELL?

Also, I have seen the word "townhall" and that's not a word. A day or two ago I saw "gameplay" in a story, in regard to "gameplay was stopped" or something, and that's not a word, either. Similar to redbrick; it's red brick. No one ever writes "brownbrick."

Shoving words together in stories just because you wanna and not having an editor say "WTF? NO.", or not having an editor at all, needs to stop. I know it won't but it should. grumble/brumble/rant/grumble
 
Another gripe:

NYT and WaPo, and others, continually write these kind of things:

Trump asherted ...
Trump said without basis of fact ...
Trump repeated falsehoods ...
Trump stated without ...
Trump responded with a stupefying claim ...
"falsely claiming" ...
"suggesting without evidence"

Why the hell can't or won't they just say he's lying? No one does it.

Trump lied when he said ...
Trump repeated lies ...
With incorrect facts, Trump lied about ...
Trump responded with lies about ...

Nice pulls @BTExpress, albeit from 2017, 2021 and 2023.

If they did it every single time it would be better. He's mentally declining and a serial liar. They should say so, forcefully and repeatedly, in those blunt terms.
