Even York thinks it became much more effective in the Jill Biden segment when it "got away from its Trump mania" and "reminded viewers that Joe Biden has taken some terrible blows in life and kept going." https://t.co/GstBottmZl

"The coronavirus pandemic has ushered in an age of sloppy, inaccurate journalism …" It's not about the pandemic, or about journalism. It's about beating Trump. I suppose that's obvious. https://t.co/7OOFes94ut

"We'll undo the vicious inequality of income and wealth that has plagued America for far too long." By starting out with a move (vastly increased labor supply through immigration) that'll make income inequality worse? https://t.co/GKopxZDHrF

US "policy" is to "maintain our presence in Syria"-says official Democratic Party video!-just as it was the "interagency consensus" to maintain bipartisan support for Ukraine-and never mind what the elected President campaigned on. Who does he think he is? https://t.co/o9qsUamOp9

How many voters, of either party, are longing for the days of Colin Powell's foreign policy? I would think the Biden Democrats would have a better chance of winning over swing voters and GOPs if they portrayed themselves as anti-interventionist. But maybe they're not …

No. Trump with Dem Senate would likely result in some kind of negotiation, with the distinct possibility of a Trump/Jared sellout (Trump would no longer have to worry about reelection; Senators would). https://t.co/HMuGyUJEUB

Or, shorter: If you don't want a mass amnesty (with amnesty after amnesty down the road), holding the GOP Senate while Biden wins isn't enough. You have to defeat Biden. Wish that weren't true. https://t.co/uMmIyqXwwD

This seems by far the most significant piece of the day: What it means is that If Biden's elected, we're getting a mass (ie 11 million) illegal immigrant amnesty even if there's a GOP Senate that won't vote for it. Biden (or Kamala) will do it by executive "parole in place." https://t.co/mggCnu2NKB

Girdusky named Taylor as an opponent of Trump's agenda over a year ago. Why did Trump keep people like him on? Still a bizarre, central failing of his Presidency. https://t.co/YE7rx7CFWZ

"[Trump] insisted on a near-total focus on issues that he said were central to his reelection — in particular building a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico …" You mean the issues he won election on? But that Taylor didn't like? https://t.co/pEjfSUuDM1
