Oddbean new post about login | logout As always, the NY Times takes an incoherent, confused, self-contradictory, rambling performance (full of actual lies) and does its gosh darn best to make sense out of it. Trump must have meant SOMETHING, they seem to feel, so let’s figure out what it is. Meanwhile, they feature their third story this week reminding us that Biden is old, old, old.

What #Trump actually said: “You have a Virginia governor, previous governor, who said, ‘After the baby is born, you will make a determination, and if you want, you will kill that baby.’ The baby is now born.” “I said, with Hillary Clinton when we had the debate, I made a statement, ‘Rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month, you’re allowed to do that, and you shouldn’t be allowed to do that.’” “Look, the Democrats are able to kill the baby after birth.” [more]
@58fbd252 The New York Times isnt stupid, they know Trump is busy overthrowing the government, working to end the American Democracy, enslave the American peoplem they are providing cover, helping him pretend to be a servent of the democracy, a servant of the constitution. They know what they do. They are not merely nailing hands.
