1/ So I wrote a column off Biden's news conference last week, making fun of the Fox News narrative that he's a senile puppet being controlled by nefarious "others."

You won't believe what happened! My email inbox has been flooded by people who...and you'll never guess this...
2/ ...are 110% convinced Biden is a senile puppet being controlled by nefarious "others." There is no hesitation or modulation. It's like Hannity sent an email template out to every Fox News viewer and instructed them to send it to any journalist who claims Biden isn't infirm.
3/ "So you don’t have a problem with a news conference that is preset up with written questions and answers. President Biden read his answers off a note card. He still managed to lose his train of thought 4 times. Our enemies are licking their chops."
4/ "It’s Biden out & the pending nightmare that will be President Harris-Obama by Halloween, my dog even predicts it. Who are you kidding?"
5/ "Without his “handlers” and his book of notes, Biden is a lost soul at the podium. He rambles on his pre-rehearsed talking points and never even answers his softball questions. ... He can’t muster the strength to do more. Embarrassing for our country. Wake up, everyone!"
6/ It's just on and on and on like that. Mass brainwashing.

And as long as Fox News goes unchecked, it will not stop or change. I don't see any way, or any reason, to reach these people. I'm at a loss.

This is what we're facing. And it's pretty damn depressing. END

1/ A thread on Putin calling to debate Biden and Fox News and some in the GOP cheering for the Russian dictator:

Look, I've never been a super rah-rah "America is the BEST!" type, but I love this country. I get to do what I do because I live in this country.
2/ And I appreciate that every day. I've also spent time reporting on the military, and I've been around women and men willing to die for this country, and for my right to be a goofy dingbat who makes fun of politicians and other stuff. That’s humbling beyond measure.
3/ So when I see right-wing pundits and politicians cheering on a tyrant and true enemy of America like Putin, it makes me sick. It’s disreputable, selfish and insulting. It’s patently un-American, and a kick in the nuts to supposed conservative icons like Ronald Reagan, who...

...BE ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR MISERABLE ASS! IT'S NOT A CONSPIRACY, IT'S A FUCKING CONSEQUENCE. IF I GO OUT AND FILM MYSELF PUNCHING A DONKEY, I'M GONNA GET FIRED AND MY FRIENDS ARE GOING TO BACK AWAY SLOWLY SAYING, "DUDE, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, WHY WOULD YOU PUNCH...
...A DONKEY, THAT'S SOME MESSED UP SHIT, MAN." AND GUESS WHAT? THEY'D BE REALLY, REALLY RIGHT TO FEEL THAT WAY.

1/ Here's a thing we'll have to reckon with in the weeks and months to come, as Trump fades from the spotlight that comes with holding the highest office in the land: The noise.

The noise is what you heard today at Giuliani's Gettysburg Disgrace and what you're hearing...
2/ ...tonight from the Flynn Truthers and pardon-enthusiasts who exist, wholly and completely, in a world of paranoid fiction.

Trump has been a primary focus, not because he is in any way exceptional or worthy of attention but because he is the president, and he has been...
3/ ...a destroyer of norms. As much as people have cried "Just ignore him!" the truth is you can't just ignore the president of the United States.

But now that he lost, it already feels different. He's still president, but he's a lame duck and, as such, his wailings seem more...

1/ In the days before the election, I wrote two columns. The first said Trumpism is a cult and cult members show up. The second said we must count every vote - period.

It seems those two things are playing out. His followers turned out in huge numbers. And we're still counting.
2/ What surprises me a bit is the widespread shock at the tightness of the race. Many seem truly surprised that such a large portion of the populace would still support Trump.

I'm not. Throughout his presidency we've heard repeated calls of, "This is not who we are!"
3/ I respect those calls, and truly wish they were true. But they're not. If this - **waves hands wildly in all directions** - was not who we are, it wouldn't be happening. There wouldn't be GOP lawmakers too chickenshit to stand up to Trump because voters back home would...

1/ Tucker Carlson tomorrow: "To evade detection from the Black Lives Matter drones that track all UPS packages, we stored a cache of damning documents implicating Hunter Biden in myriad international grifts on the hard drive of a Commodore 64 computer. My assistant packed...
2/ ...the computer in a large envelope, because we feared a box might seem suspicious, since rectangles are the symbol of the largest satanic Democratic child-sex ring. To protect the computer, my assistant surround it with Wonder Bread. We have photos of him buying the bread...
3/ ...and sealing the envelope. He used two slices of the bread to make a sandwich, but that also disappeared. We suspect Obama. It's clear that sometime after the package arrived at UPS, someone - possibly Chelsea Clinton - opened the package, removed the bread and computer...

Trump speaking to Rush Limbaugh, in about 15 minutes, probably: "You know, Rush, I hate the letter 'V.' We should really get rid of it, just a stupid letter. This one general came to me and he said, 'Sir, we don't need that dumb letter that kind of looks like a 'U' but isn't.'"
"I mean, seriously, it's a dumb letter. Get rid of it. Anyway, I have this bucket next to me. Beautiful steel...maybe aluminum or rubber...who knows. Beautiful steel bucket. And I like to stick my head in it sometimes. Just wear it around and pretend I'm a knight, you know?"
"Everyone around me loves it. They all say, 'Mr. President, you look great in that bucket. It's so good for our country.' And it is so good, Rush, truly. It's so good for our country. Bucket. I sold many buildings, you know. And they were made of things too. Not buckets."
