The free press is panicking with an imminent Trump administration. I read less and less of the free press every week.

Also who is Joe Nocera and why does he get to tell us what to do? A true journalist would report the facts not eliminate any faith we had in them by revealing their bias. How can a reader now take him seriously on any topic? He just admitted to be irrational. What a joke.

Choosing not to be controlled when you are missing a uterus is irony

This notion that elites are only pulling the strings on one side is utter nonsense. Musk, Vance, Miller, and a whole gang of people behind Project 2025 are largely products of Ivy League schools. They view Trump as a vessel for their interests. Which, by the way, aren’t yours.

Why haven’t you enabled the text to voice feature for all your articles? Some of us m only have time to listen to your content. For fornication sake, why haven’t you enabled this feature? Is maddening and churlish when I can listen to content from my free subscriptions but not this one I pay for.

This election is like choosing between a pile of rotten food and a pile of shit. Nobody should choose to eat either, but if you’re starving and have to eat something, there is a right choice.

It’s astounding how many people would choose to eat shit. And that’s not even the craziest part. The craziest part is people saying the pile of shit is their first choice, if they could pick anything they want to eat, it would be the pile of shit. The US is in a real bad place.

Nocera has TDS?!!? Revelation.

I think it's outstanding that you have both sides represented. The bottom line is its personality vs. policy. The economy was better under Trump and there were 2.5m illegals under Trump and 10M+ illegals under Biden-Harris. Plus ZERO wars under Trump. FACTS. I can't stand Trump but he is all we've got. She is simply unfit to be president and it wouldn't even be her. We have no idea who is running this country right now! sabrinalabow.substack.com

How delusional can Gurri be? He thinks fascists and oligarchs behind Trump don’t want to “control” things? Yeah,

only a politicized Justice Department, the media, the whole Federal bureaucracy, abortion rights, free speech (those who become our Dear Leader’s “enemies” by criticizing him must be punished. Members of Congress like Schiff who’ve opposed Trump must also be controlled with the new Trump “retribution” laws, etc. Not to mention controlling the entire American economy into a ditch with Trump’s crazy inflationary tariffs by executive fiat, and ten trillion more in debt from his 100% unneeded tax cuts for the super rich.

In all fairness, Gurri does admit that he is deranged. Go easy on the guy.

Again a diverse set of articles where I agree with some and disagree with others’s page. But the linked to article from 2022 by Rupa Subramanya was appallingly bad. Just poor journalism. I made comments a accordingly on it

TDS is a disease, not a way of life. People have to get over the imperfections of Trump's persona and look at his record while President. Everything was humming along until Fauci/Wuhan unleashed the virus. That's who/what democrats should be angry about. We wouldn't have had Senile Joe and Cackling Kamala in the White House destroying America and the world.

No Joe, TDS is not a badge of honor. It most often manifests itself as an unhinged and irrational rant about Trump’s policies and record. Your column was clearly an irrational rant but not nearly as unhinged as many other writers exhibit. Put yourself down as a “never Trumper.”

Free Press readers are much more knowledgeable and aware than to be moved by your half-baked criticisms of Trump.

Admitting one has a problem is the first step to recovery. As Joe Nocera admits he has TDS, joining a recovery group may not be enough. He should seek professional counseling.
