Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
NYT isn’t worth reading because they are in the bag for Trump

Hold up. I have had to sit through multiple open mics of my colleagues talking about their dick, and I have never wished death on them. Only a magic pox where they become allergic to microphones for a few months.

Welcome to November 1st. The Halloween people are weeping as they refuse to take down pumpkins, the thanksgiving turkey obsessives are pouring over recipes, the Christmas people have already been playing Mariah Carey for a month. This is the most chaotic time of the year. It’s glorious.
