    Yeah. Say what you will about the post, they have long had tremendous headline writers.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      NY Post like Fox Corporation is owned by Murdoch.

      So when is Fox News going to unleash the Carlson/Gabbard tag team to dump on Trump?

      Elbows up!

        Journalism dies in the opinion pages copying one another.:

        TrumpMemo-1110x863.jpg

        And NPR repeats the lie:

        " he inflamed racial tensions like when he said there were "very fine people" on both sides of a white nationalist protest in Charlottesville, Va., where a counter-protester was killed"

        "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Honestly, I have no problem with the headlines. Americans should never forget a President's refusal to accept an election loss. Never.

          That being said, you are right about the NPR write-up, specifically this paragraph.

          The foundation of Trump's 2016 candidacy and ensuing presidency was nativism — he campaigned on building a wall to keep Spanish-speaking immigrants out of the United States; in his early days in office, he banned people from some mostly Muslim countries from coming to the country; he inflamed racial tensions like when he said there were "very fine people" on both sides of a white nationalist protest in Charlottesville, Va., where a counter-protester was killed; and he regularly exaggerated dangers to trigger anger and fear in many Americans.

          First, it's written like, by a 7th grader, like, totally, like ya know? Second, while I certainly disagreed with Trump on a number of topics (election denial, handling COVID early on, 3rd grade insults) the items listed above are very much inaccurate. I had no problem with his effort to secure the border in regards to illegal immigration, ban certain countries from sending people to the US (presuming there is a valid national security reason), and indeed there were many fine people on both sides of the Charlottesville event. Then again, as a native Virginian, I have more respect for Robert E Lee than probably most of the country.

            He acted like a spoilt, whiny little brat when he lost the election, which perhaps isn't particularly surprising, but certainly isn't what I'd want as a head of state.

            I'm not sure the headlines are particularly egregious.

            I was only joking

                I think almost anyone who is a top Republican contender today can beat Biden in the general. Probably easily.

                But, if Trump doesn't make it out of the primary on top, I can see him running 3rd party and completely ruining that.

                EDIT: meant to say "beat Biden"

                    @xenon I think a 3rd party run is far less likely than just whining and complaining and calling the election stolen and thereby torching the GOP.

                    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                          He is fair game for any and all fantasies now.

                          Whether he deserves it is debatable, but nobody should have to endure the treatment he gets from the various media sources.

                          It must make him crazy, maybe that's why they do it. The crazier they make him the more clicks they get.

                                  My feeling about Mr. Trump is now about the same as Mr. Biden.

                                  They are both just pathetic old men.

                                  Beyond that, picking on either one is just bullying.

                                  Mr. Trump is harmless now, of course Mr. Biden still has some power but I don't think he really wields it.

                                  They'll be gone soon enough.

                                    Cut the cord last year, but “Samsung TV” does stream Fox News Live. Turned it on this afternoon for a bit and there’s not been a single mention about Donald.

                                      Try CNN or MSNBC. They might still carry some Trump related content.

                                        Missed this: He wants to impose term limits on congress.

                                        Yeah, good luck with getting a constitutional amendment moved through the country.

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
