I think we will have to slightly disagree. And it is on the way media is behaving.
After watching information operations in Russia for years, this just has the feel of one. Why? Some in press have already said they knew this months ago, some before primaries got underway. Why not report this when we were in the middle of primaries? Wasn’t that relevant then? I think it was. Why continue to ignore Trump? There were no calls, nor this pressure, for Trump to drop off after his felony conviction. British press is deep into covering the latest allegations from Epstein files, including alleged pedophilia.
As I said, Dems run an actual yellow dog, voting for the dog. Never mind the dog would certainly not be qualified for office. But woof…Lobo 2024…oh wait, he was born in Mexico. So he is not qualified on the natural born clause I suppose.
And media is now under a clear attack, not just from Biden fans (they are pissed at the press for a different reason,) but people like me who know what we are seeing. It’s fifty-fifty they will achieve their goal. I give them very good odds of electing Trump, as they want… as in extremely good odds.
I just don’t want to hear it from the press. Another press did the same for Adolph Hitler…yet another did the same for Putin. That’s where I am coming from at this point.
And waiting for both the NATO presser and his interview to ABC. It’s tonight. Those will be critical tests.

One more gripe. The press is not dealing with Trump’s cognitive issues either, or the fact that his dad died of Alzheimer’s. To be fair, they should be asking this as well…but won’t.

So, now you know where I am coming from. And yes, some historians like Heather Cox Richardson are also raising these issues. Anybody who has studied information operations is kind of pissed at the moment. It’s transparent, I mean Russians are less obvious…but Americans are usually not subjected to this hard core information operations.
So the press knew before the primaries…why did they cover for Biden? I know some in the far right ecosystem ask this…I am asking this for a different reason.
Assuming we survive as a republic, not that good odds, we need a max age for people to run, and a mandatory cognitive test regardless of age. That will be fun to get into the constitution. Of course, we don’t survive, next republic will need a new constitution.
Sorry, if I sound very down on this July 4th. Defrosting burgers, but we are not that hip into celebrating. It’s actually depressing.
