Oh...wait...no, that doesn't sound good. Here, use this one...

No, no, no...look, you KNOW we don't want to mention the Democrats, right?

Okay...how about this one...

He didn’t actually read the Times stories.

Reading past the headlines causes mental overload in Trumpsters.

This thread isn't about the article. It's about "Bias In The Media"...as illustrated by the evolving NYT headlines based solely on pro-Dem bias.

I haven't disappeared.

But I'm still waiting for you to actually address the point of my thread.
 
I read this nonsense yesterday and expected it. Jockeying among politicians for more bacon to bring home, what's the question?
 
The media will of course run with this in the direction their viewers are expecting, but we are here entirely because of how insane Congress is these days.

Can you make a cohesive statement of claim that comes to your point? You don't really say anything. Please tell us in some detail what your point is in claim form to allow for real debate.

We'll see in a few days how the people take this. It's a well known fact the Democrats will be blaming Trump and the Republicans and the Republicans blaming the Democrats for getting nothing done and stopping the help to the people. It will be the people in the middle, the less to non-partisan, the non-affiliated with either party, those neither pro nor anti Trump, those are the one's I'll be following.

As for the rest, you all play the blame game as it is much more important than getting anything accomplished. Funny me, in an emergency, a crisis such as this I'd expect the two major parties to come together and work this out, compromise, play the game of give and take. But I guess that is expecting too much when one or both parties see where they can gain a political advantage. A pox on both parties for not working together to get the need help.

When it comes to the executive form of government the parties are working well together. Trump and the Governors are working together fine. Who’s failing are the legislators and media outlets

I keep saying that who's to blame doesn't matter right now and that we ALL need to pull together. This, of course, has been responded to with, "Oh, NOW you want us all to cooperate." So a pox on all shortsighted partisans.

I totally agree. For some reason there will always be those who can't throw their partisan politics aside to work for the good of the whole of America. Just work for the good of their party. Exactly, a pox on all shortsighted partisans who put party over country.

The only party that matters right now is the party of humankind. Sigh.
