It is seriously amazing that not very long ago, in the pre-Obama era, we all were made to pretzel ourselves into ridiculous little dances to pretend that Fox News somehow was not a propaganda machine and instead was merely a Republican-friendly but straight shooting news outlet.

The rosiest fallout of the Woodward book is that it makes pretty clear that the White House has not been covering up some broader Biden health/age crisis and, moreover, he does in fact seem to demonstrate considerable vigor in seeing to the actual daily functions of the job.

In a normal campaign there’d be repercussions for a guy that pardoned or commuted a half dozen or so people who went on to commit more crimes.

I also really don’t understand why reporters constantly feel the need to throw reactionist chum (look, we all wanna lock up violent migrants) in the water trying to drag the shark over to them. Best case scenario congrats you just brought a fucking shark closer to your boat.
