After a tipping point with habitual and chronic lying by Trump and Biden, do we lose the common sense of our English language, or any translation? I wonder how one translates lies into another language. The effort must wake up the self-deception, plow up the fertile soil that memory provides to wishful thinking. Lying politicians, must lie in their dreams in their sleep. How can they even think straight? Yes politicians have always made dishonest and manipulative proclamations, but Trump and Biden - though both VERY different - make the practice an art. It is a trust killer.
I hear you! His articles are like NYer articles. Bari's are quick reads. I have to say- I like having her, Suzy and Nellie's voices out there. I do not always agree, but I'll stick w/ them for awhile. I am an advocate for free speech, so I truly appreciate Glen (and Matt Taibbi) so for now I'm paying for all. Too bad it has to be all a la carte. Wish there was a consortium.
Laughable answers to decent questions...the guy is clearly left-leaning. Imagine his take on the various ethical issues if a Republican acted in similar fashion! The lying, the Hunter evasion, The Harris assessment, the gaffs and infirmities etc etc. Not a credible book...just another echo chamber effort.
"The incoming president was, in his estimation, a bloviator who dangerously fetishized bipartisanship." Yep, no need to go further. As for his foreign policy expertise, he has consistently been on the wrong side throughout his career. The Afghanistan debacle was not a one-off screw up, it was absolutely consistent with his past foreign policy stands. Since he wasn't president for most of that time, his damage was limited. No so now.
MM is a great interviewer but I can’t really figure the point of the book. Is it just to say Biden is really savvy as a politician but his failings are due to his insecurity”. Where is Foer’s moral consistency? Because Biden’s lies are due to “insecurity” it makes them ok but they are way different then Trump’s terrible, horrible, very bad lies..
Define "old".
Kamala’s “job description writes itself” because “her identity is her identity.” This is so regressive.

I’m sad to say this article was ALL apologetics. Ugh! 😩 I was really hoping for a bone to grab.

Support the Harris/Fetterman ticket! Let's show the world what the Democratic Party is all about!
This guy is a moron and the interviewer is a very very very weak stick. What a waste of time.
That guy is full of horse shit. The end.
It's not so much age as it is competency.
It’s his “weakness/mental infirmity” due to his age.

I actually did, (as ham-handed as it was to publish it on 9/11!) I found it more interesting and informative than the Biden infomercial.
That doesn't mean that my heart bleeds for the Gitmo detainees, or that I'm about to run out and bid on their art work!

This is laughable.
