What's the opposite of eating the onion?

The NYT has been having a real one ever since Trump edged ahead of Biden in the polls.

This is pretty standard for the Newspaper Of Record. They will gargle your balls when you're leading, then start pissing on your face as soon as you dip under the 50% marker.

This creates a certain degree of ideological confusion, as "The NYT is too right wing!" was a popular belief under Bush while "No! Too left wing!" was popular under Obama and later Trump.

But they're literally just blowing in the wind. If Biden ever gets over the 50% approval line, you'll see a flood of "Yo, did you know Trump Bad Aktuly?!" headlines and "Is Biden our greatest American President? These three guys trying to sell you a book think so!" Op-Ed think pieces.

Say it all you want. Doesnt have any bearing on observed reality

Excuse me, what?

I unfortunately know a lot of guys who like him (and a couple of women) and it's more like they don't care, not that they have a positive view of his personal life, they just don't think it's relevant. They like how he functioned as president, or rather, how they recall he did.

Even in that group you wouldn't find one who thought he was "respectful to women".

"Most men", huh? How did they get that nice sample size of 4 billion people?

Here's the first sentence to clear things up:

This month, The New York Times/Siena College poll asked voters how much they think former President Trump respects women.

I mean, its "Grab 'em by the Pussy" not "hit them every day"

TBH its not so bad.

"Grab 'em by the Pussy" not "hit them every day"

It's interesting how the line of "respecting women or not" falls somewhere between those two statements for you...haha

I thought the /s wasnt needed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The problem is that some people think that way.

"What do you mean I'm a bad husband? It's not like I ever hit my wife!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thats right and sad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Everyone who has ever thought that was wrong. This is the internet, sometimes even the /s isn't enough!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lie often enough and it starts looking like truth

Unintentionally funny title

I'm sure he respects some women. Right? .... Right?
