Who is defending? Not them, they are doubling down. Everyone else is calling the mayor and asking for a statement, or doing some vox pop with Haitians on the ground.

Nobody is talking about anything right now except the memes around cats and dogs. You and I, we agree it's racist, but independents may buy this hook without thinking it's racist. We agree that everything coming out of his mouth is lies and garbage, but independents are much more neutral and are willing to give him, the former president, the benefit of the doubt. They probably are thinking, wow, things have gotten bad in Springfield, instead of haha what a crazy old man who lost the debate. They aren't thinking about swift because this cat thing has completely flooded the zone. This is what Trump did all for years

The topic does not matter.

The assertion at hand does not matter.

Whether anyone believes the assertion does not matter.

The only thing that matters is: Are you playing offense or defense?

Cuz attacking looks like winning. And explaining looks like losing.

That is a great series!

Swift, the crazy cat lady, gives endorsement, distract with crazy cat news. This is a distraction, Trump does this

It's a distraction, classic Trump move to get you to look at something else

People, remember how Trump presidency went! Bad news for Trump? Float a batshiit crazy thing to get the media to play with that shiny ball instead. This is a fucking distraction, Trump lost the debate, he is courting fascists, he is old and weird and people leave his rallys bored, he had to throw a stink bomb

It's an opinion piece, not representing the nyt

I know some Estonians, they could do it while black out drunk

Then what? Let us not fall into the Iraq trap

I honestly didn't understand the media timing. It seems like it would be more effective to wait until the bump from the debate was over, then do the swift bump to keep the beat

Did nobody notice the moment when he tried to silence her and added, 'sound familiar' to make some sexist remark about telling women to shut up? "I'm talking now, sound familiar?"

She said her name to him, which was a nice move. He never said her name, or looked at her the entire time. That is actually weird, it's like he knows if he does, he will freak

I know someone in Georgia who says she will vote for Trump because she doesn't trust Kamala. I get not trusting politicians in general, but when in that situation, you don't throw everything at the one guy who you can actually trust to fuck everything up. I'm honestly confused how she can rationalize that.

That hasn't been a reason the US has used in the past...

Another article just picking some random Twitter posts and turning that into news

They let him respond, but then make Harris talk about something else... Journalists are already reporting that they have given him 30% more time, up to nine minutes more so far

He said 'sound familiar' when he told her to shut up

ABC is unreal

ABC needs to let Harris respond instead of constantly letting Trump respond and not her
