Obvious tweet was correct.
I recognize that it's a long campaign and reporters like novelty, but come on.
Someone who is better at writing mean that I am should do pundit accountability content comparing who journalists thought won the debates to the actual post-debate polls.
and now I miss @SimonMaloy again goddamnit.

Personally I think this sounds very bad. time.com/6972021/donald…

Trump says he'd use the National Guard and even (illegally) the military to arrest and deport millions of migrants. His "plan" is notably light on details, which seems like a guarantee for child-separation-style cruelty. time.com/6972022/donald…

🚨 Trump says the tax he wants to implement on virtually everything you buy could be in excess of the 10% figure he's floated before. Image

FLASHBACK: A Trump-appointed prosecutor dropped an unfalsifiable partisan bomb on President Joe Biden Thursday, playing into a years-long right-wing media campaign — and U.S. political journalists decided to treat it as a valid and impartial charge.

The New York Times ran 30 stories about Biden's mental fitness in the four days following the Hur report, per @JuddLegum.

After reviewing the transcript, the paper concludes that Biden "fumbled with dates and the sequence of events, while otherwise appearing clearheaded." Image
@JuddLegum The Washington Post ran 33 stories about Biden's mental fitness in the four days following the Hur report, per @JuddLegum.

After reviewing the transcript, the paper concludes that Biden "doesn’t come across as being as absent-minded as Hur has made him out to be." Image

Sean Hannity's Fox News show ran with this informant's claims in at least 85 separate segments last year, including 28 monologues. He said they proved Joe Biden engaged in "public corruption on a scale this country has never seen before.” mediamatters.org/fox-news/study…
Of course the benefit of building wild conspiracy theories premised on the bogus idea that the DOJ under Biden is in the tank for Democrats is you can move directly to claiming this prosecution is part of the conspiracy. mediamatters.org/fox-news/trump…
Per the indictment, the informant's story is impossible; he claimed in the 1023 that a Burisma official told him he bribed the Bidens around December 2015, but the informant never met with a Burisma official until 2017. justice.gov/sco-weiss/medi…

1. Russia invaded Ukraine. A broad U.S. and E.U. coalition funded Ukraine's defense.

But MAGA Republicans started arguing that supporting Ukraine was taking resources away from border security, so....
2. Biden proposed a supplemental which included both funding for Ukraine and additional funds for border security.

But MAGA Republicans started arguing that border funds weren't enough without policy changes, so...
3. Biden backed bipartisan Senate negotiations which resulted in proposed restrictive immigration policy changes alongside the supplemental funding.

But MAGA Republicans pronounced that bill dead on arrival, and are now claiming that Biden can "fix" the border by magic.

TheBlaze’s Jason Whitlock hosts notorious antisemite to denounce supposed Jewish control of US government, Black people
mediamatters.org/blazetv/thebla…
JONES: "The Jews... have spent their entire time here in the United States of America undermining the moral fabric of the American people."

WHITLOCK: "“I get it, and I can’t say that I disagree." mediamatters.org/blazetv/thebla…
E. MICHAEL JONES to Whitlock: "It’s called Biden’s minyan — you can look this up too — there are 457 Jews who are running the Biden administration. They’re the people who are in charge, OK? So there’s no point in talking about Joe Biden." mediamatters.org/blazetv/thebla…
