ew And I Are Both “Old And Arrogant”

Let's just do a for example. Name the media outlets who have reported that under a system Bill Barr set up to ingest dirt Rudy got, in part from known Russian spies, Joe Biden was framed by a then-FBI informant?

How is this not a relentless story in 2024?

(For your convenience, Costa’s original post)

Spoke this morning to a couple people close to President Biden. Hard to overstate how much he dismisses the political class and media in private. Believes many of them haven’t understood him for decades, don’t get his appeal. Cares what elected Ds with real power and voters say.

(The dinosaurs continue to regard the mammals as interlopers. And no, that’s not a reference to Biden’s age.)

And now back to our regularly scheduled tweet storm:

Again, NYT demands that Joe Biden drop out, in part, because he didn't do THEIR job better in the debate, call out Trump's lies.

Huh? That's YOUR job, NYT, and you suck ass at it.

[I'm old and arrogant too, I'll cop to that. I still work pretty hard, tho!]

I work as little as possible, tbh. I should think that would be obvious by now, but you never know.
