Will @realDonaldTrump leave @JoeBiden with a US foreign policy broken beyond repair?

@washingtonpost's @joshrogin thinks so, but @EurasiaGroup’s Jeffrey Wright and I have our doubts.

That means it’s time for another edition of @gzeromedia’s #TheRedPen. gzeromedia.com/video/fixing-u… Image

The judiciary is independent.
The military serves the country.

Fox and MSNBC watchers (and NYT readers) are overwhelmingly partisan.

All about consuming only the information you already agree with. Image
If you’re American and really interested in mainstream but unbiased news, watch an hour of global coverage from outside US—say DW and NHK world.
As for twitter, if you don’t follow people you actively disagree with but intellectually respect, you’re making it worse.

NBA was dead wrong (and hypocritical) on Hong Kong, Uighurs and China.

The league’s gotten it right today. They have a voice. I’m glad they are using it.

“The only way we’re going to lose this election is if the election is rigged.” - President Trump

If Trump loses, he contests the outcome. Doesn’t matter if it’s a landslide—the GOP ignores him and everyone moves on.

But if it’s close, the country has a problem.
