But Biden Is Going To Bed Early!

In 2018, Trump told his national security advisor, on the way to the NATO summit, that the US was leaving the alliance. @HenryJFoy retells the story.

But Biden’s strategy hit a bump!

And I'll say again: The Biden people wanted a knockout blow. Their strategy blew up in their face. "Everybody stop talking about it" was never gonna happen.

Which makes it so important that “everyone” (who?) talks about it? Or demands Biden withdraw, if not be removed by the 25th?

Are reporters and pundits helplessly in thrall because “everyone is doing it?” Trump’s supporters are literally talking about repealing the 20th century, but this has to be the national conversation because Biden whiffed a debate? (Which he didn’t, actually. His performance was just considered “unsatisfactory.”) Nobody’s even talking about the substance of the debate because, you know…they can’t. Because: reporters and pundits are children, not responsible adults.
