Opinion | ‘Joy’ Is Working for Harris, but Can It Close the Deal? - The New York Times

By Charles M. Blow

It must be awesome to be a NYT columnist. You brain shart out any old shitpost every couple weeks to build your brand, go on MSNBC to build your brand, appear in other media (podcasts?) to build your brand, write a book to capitalize on your brand. Repeat.

I have MSNBC family and the amount of denial they had over Biden until the debate was incredible. And I kept pointing it out and they'd tell me it wasn't that bad. While he's out there getting petulant and belligerent with journalists asking slightly difficult questions and the infamous "whywhywhywhywhy" moment. And they're not stupid people my mom was a teacher for Christ's sake. But they're misled and informed by media cretins exactly like this fucker here. They see him visibly deteriorating and sputtering like an old dog with hip dysplasia. And then the debate and he gets whisked away and Harris can be the savior. And my folks were talking about it and saying "wow Joe has gotten worse" gotten? He's been worse! He just finally fed to you as something more than a 19 second clip where he still has trouble with words to "deficit" but they cherry picked it

Even Nancy Pelosi was pushing him to drop out. I don't know how anyone could ignore it with that too.

Gotta love the liberal ability to situate themselves firmly one one side of an issue then when it becomes unignorable they were on the wrong side of it to pretend they weren't on that side or even pretend they were on the other side of that issue the whole time.

Also fun fact the imperialist Trilateral Commission ghoul behind the proxy "Afghanistan trap" against the Soviets Zbigniew Brzezinski's daughter is on MSNBC's Morning Joe talking to everyone's mom (or for a long time was, idk I don't watch it). She brought him on once to celebrate his "achievements." His son is also Biden's ambassador to Poland during this Ukraine proxy war (funny that)
