    I recommend taking the lens off Trump at this point.

    So the billionaire owners of the LA Times and Washington Post have told their editorial boards not to make an endorsement for President.

    As they should.

    All the 'endorsement' stuff is crap. They should present the information and tell people to think/choose for themselves.

    But I'm coming to realize that far too many people want to subjugate their thinking to someone else....

    Their bodies of work speak much more loudly than an endorsement ever could.

    Kind of like people knocking on my door and asking me to support their candidate because why? Because you knocked on my door when the sign says NO Soliciting!

    I just sent one away today. I literally have a no soliciting sign on my door. Specifically says we aren't interested in talking to them about politics.

    And they still rang the doorbell...

    I mostly don't want people coming around trying to sell me their solar panels. But the fact that the sign was up and they didn't listen just annoyed me.

    Trump's closing argument to men: the bitches need a beat down.

    Think I am exaggerating? Tucker Carlson said at rally Dad is home, you have been a very bad girl and you are going to get a whipping. And it's going to hurt.

    Any doubt who the bad girl is?

    The bitches are out of control. They need a good beating.

    Trump cult now greeting him with "Dad's home".

    Pretty sure if I stole classified documents and stored them in my bathroom I would be held accountable.
    Only someone painfully biased would compare that to eating ice cream? MAGA’s gonna MAGA I guess?

    It's an editorial board. Soliciting and writing editorials is what an editorial board does.

    I think it's Republicans making it look like Democrats that are making it look like Republicans are committing voter fraud.

    What if you stored them in your garage like Biden did? Would you be held accountable then?
    Talk about painful biases.

    It depends. Did you turn them in when asked? Or did you try to hide them?

    If you turned them in when asked then it should be no problem.

    If you made them ask multiple times and still tried to hide them you should probably go to jail. At the very least you should never be allowed to hold any government office again.

    The big difference here, and someone without a bias would be all over this, is that Biden self-checked and returned the documents. Trump tried to hide that he had documents, was caught showing them to people without proper clearances, and did everything he could not to return them voluntarily ... which is why Donald Dumbkopf was charged with a crime.

    Talk about painful reaches in the attempt to create a false equivalency.
