    The "great newspaper" the NYTimes rattled off 7 things Biden accomplished in the 2023 SOTU Speech. 7 Takeaways From Biden’s State of the Union Address (Published 2023) Good for him - let's accept this as true and objective; so, in the 16 months subsequent the crack reporters of the NYTimes didn't have one story - outside of "Republican" claims of a diminished Biden - of how he was struggling? Maureen Dowd, Opinion piece: "Joe with a spring in his step....having outwitted Republicans" Opinion | Scranton Joe Is Ready to Go (Published 2023) Now, like the crooked police chief in Casablanca the NYTimes is "shocked" (my word) that there is gambling going on; or, in this case that Biden is infirm? Pathetic. That is not what you get from a "great newspaper" - it's what you get from the house organ of the Democratic Party.

    I make no apologies for my utter disdain for the MAGA cult. The NYT is not an organ of the Democratic party, but of the American way of life for nearly 250 years....until Trump rode down that elevator and began corrupting it. There wasn't a thing in that editorial which was inaccurate. You are so enamored with Trump that you're unable to appreciate the danger he poses to this country. I never mock people with whom I disagree, but I do mock the foolish Trump cultists.

    THEY are what is sad.

    You are apparently unable to distinguish between reporting and editoralizing.

    Do you not see the irony of a Trump shill complaining about, well ANY, biased media sources? Trump has met with execs from Fox to coordinate their coverage. They've had to pay a nearly $1 billion settlement for publishing his defamatory lies.

    So when people like you complain about the mostly if not totally fabricated biases of media sources.......you're just complaining about rules that those you support don't even pretend to have the least concern for following yourselves.

    It's so way past time for this/your hypocrisy to be called out as deserving nothing more than mockery and derision. Because that IS all it deserves.

    The Bucha massacre was carried out by Ukraine not Russia. Thesyor of Nucha announced on a Thursday that all of the Russian soldiers. No mention.of any.civilian.massacre until the weekend. Those killed were Russian+speaking civilians whoight have been friendly with the Russians, brought them food or given them information
    The bodies of the victims did not show signs of fecomposite that would be expected if they had been shot Wednesday or earlier by Russians.

    Scott Ritter said on his Twitter that the children:s hospital was hit by a Ukrainian air defense missile. I'd like to see his analysis and will wait for confirmation.
    The number of civilians killed by Russians has been extremely low compared to Ukrainian soldiers killed. Early on Russia killed soldiers and civilians at a 16:1 ratio. The US killed at a 3:1 ratio on the 2003 Iraq war, which is normal. This is all per Scott Ritter.

    Russia lost soldiers in order to keep Ukrainian civilians safe.

    Russia avoided taking out power plants and other infrastructure to protect civilians. Instead they took out "connectors" that took electricity to military targets.

    All this changed after Ukraine started directly targeting Russian civilians with a nod and a wink from the US. The Crocus attack (directed by Ukraine).was the final straw. Now Russia is behaving more aggressively.

    If it was a Russianissile that hit the children's hospital it would have been an accident

    The US lies everyday
    Putin and Lavrov love to tell the truth.
