I was thinking that too, but this piece makes me less certain:
He is not wrong, just confused about which side he is on.
Is G Beck going for the Col Sanders look?
Huh, this seems to be a trend, the R candidate dropping out of debates.
So, aside from all their crummy policies, they:
Donāt want people to be able to vote and
Donāt want to answer questions and be compared to other candidatesā¦
This is fineā¦
Emptywheel did consider that claim.
ā it bears noting that Glenn has made repeated claims about his contract with The Intercept. If Glenn wants to make these claims, he should be asked by everyone demanding tough questions to prove that his contract says what he claims it does.ā
And no review of the contract is given in the Naked Capitalism article.
If true - he could sue.
Why is Ben Shapiro a thing?
I do think heās right saying that just because Trump has 100 examples of being shit, that doesnāt mean that Biden didnāt do something worth reporting on.
I do think that he probably should have chosen a different hill to die on.
Why is Joe Rogan a thing?
Why is Donald Trump a soon to be former thing?
People are shit.
Almost none of them have anything to offer policy wise. Democrats actually do.
Which the intercept agreed was fine. He seemed to be promoting, without evidence, unsubstantiated claims put out by the Trump campaign that have no evidence to support.
More and more so, it seems.
It must be so exhausting to only stand against everything and not stand for anything.
They kept going back and forth over what the Wall Street Journal etc reported and how it didnāt support a corruption allegation- and I kept waiting for Greenwald to show what his reporting showed. But he apparently did no new investigation.
Oh I agree, thatās what the second part of my post addresses, while Biden probably hasnāt been an angel, this particular story was a really bad choice.
There has not been a single debate in the Michigan Senate race. Gary Peters agreed to one in mid-October, but his opponentās campaign never called the TV station back with any response.
The candidate the Republicanās are running has never held an elected office, and they canāt seem to find anyone else to run in Michigan because the same candidate lost (badly) against our other Senator in 2018.
Since the GOP canāt actually read well enough to write their platform so that we could know what it is, I figured I would take a shot:
Build the Wall (only uh weāll do it better this time somehow).
No Healthcare for the Poor (if you are poor, just stop being poor and you can have health care)
Repress the Vote (You are only a legitimate voter if you look like a Republican stereotype)
Put immigrant kids in cages (they obviously deserve it)
Tax Cuts (I mean the government really ought to be paying the billionaires to keep staying here)
Magical Thinking will fix the virus
Get rid of the parts of the government that have anything to do with anything other than keeping the Republicans in power.
Guns to kill black people!
Non-cis-straight-white-men who have enjoyable sex must be punished and humiliated!
Now you know their policies and can stop saying that they donāt have anything to offer in debates.
I would add abortion and guns to fill the single issue voter slot.
Guns seem to have fallen by the wayside due to the NRA imploding but abortion is key.
I edited them in.
i was going to make a few observations based on the emptywheel article but others have beaten me to it:
it would certainly be worth publishing information which demonstrated, or even implicitly suggested, that biden did something shady but so far none of the published material from the āhunter biden laptopā doesnāt even make it to that level. it really seems like greenwald was offended that they wouldnāt publish his unverified assertions as if they were facts.
nothing iāve read so far budges the needle away from the āchrist what an assholeā register.
