Salon complaining about the NYT having a right wing bias is the ultimate in ultra-liberal wankery. The Times isn't perfect, far from it, but good grief, get a grip.
The Dems have a bench of pretty impressive governors, who could have risen to prominence by going through a primary campaign. It's hard to think of Biden as the best possible hope against Trump, given that he has a 38 percent approval rating, a bit lower than Trump at this point and 10 points below Obama...
It's been omitted from previous statements before. Sure, the Taiwan issue is important, but there's no need for hysteria over this kind of minutiae.
Right wing smearing is to be taken for granted. An open nomination process could have brought to the fore someone younger and with more energy to campaign. And Biden was never a terrific campaigner to begin with.
Basically, his ego got the better of him, exactly the same as Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Even if Biden squeaks through a victory in November, him choosing to run again back in 2022/2023 was an act of incredible selfishness, and choosing personal ego over the good of the country.
Ya never watched Veep?
From my understanding, Russia is making more use of aerial bombing, because they are trying to exploit Ukraine's ammo shortage. Using aircraft more means more aircraft losses. Unfortunately, the bombing seems to have had some effect. It was a factor in their capture of Avdiivka last month.
Isn't the airspace under Israeli control?
The US is decoupling from the global trading system even under Biden. Biden maintained Trump's block of the WTO appellate judge system (apparently because the WTO had the temerity to rule against the US in a couple of trade cases). He kept the Trump tariffs against China, and he's had fairly tense trading relations with allies like Japan, South Korea, and Europe, in an effort to court union support. He has strongarmed/blackmailed Taiwan into helping setting up chip production in the US, a distinctly Trumpy move.
So while Trump might add a layer of unpredictability, the general direction of US trade policy is the same no matter who wins the election.
