The NY Times publishes an editorial "Fight Like Our Democracy Depends on It" and then includes this nonsense.
May 1, 2025 12:37Even if something is legal, it doesn't make it RIGHT. Hitler was legitimately elected.
I think the statement contradicts the headline or is it me?
This is insane. It ranges from the obvious to the bootlicking, ass-kissing prose of someone trying to avoid Trumpanzee's ire.
I hear that under Mussolini the trains run on time.
My grandfather told me it wasn't true, but nobody was complaining, unless they wanted a dose of laxatives.
NY Times has become a rag. WTF happened!
Won it fairly? Riiiiiiight
Omg. What BS.
The NYT isn’t a serious publication anymore and hasn’t been for some time. They’re riding the coattails of the name they built in past decades. They’ve been reduced to tabloid status.
I like the "many of his actions are legal" which is acknowledging that most of his actions are illegal!
What BS!
Remember, the NYT has supported Trump since 2015. They usual disguise it, but it's always been there.
And then waters down the title into "There Is a Way Forward: How to Defeat Trump’s Power Grab"
Cakeism. They heard the rattle of pitchforks & the smell of burning pitch & felt they should hedge their bets with an op-ed of "have our cake and eat it". In the UK, Brexit exposed a lot of similar apologist pricks. There's not a peep out of them these days apart from the eternal swivel-eyed ga-gas.
It’s incredible how media outlets that report daily on Trump’s corruption are incapable of imagining that massive election fraud could have been committed in 2024 and that Donald Trump may in fact have stolen the election.
Wish I hadn't cancelled my subscription so I could do it today!
I think the “Gray Lady” has dementia.
I'm sure the NYT will be the first to tisk tisk when the cops start gassing protestors. They have no skin in the game.
And I’m over here disliking NYT for how they insist on writing about suicide in a condemnatory way (using the word committed, which isn’t right)
Yikes.
One thing that drives me crazy with this kind of take from the NYT is that it implies that just because an action is legal, it shouldn’t be criticized. That’s…insane. Something being legal is table stakes. Something being legal doesn’t mean that it is moral, beneficial, or wise.
China is marching with Russia: elections have consequences🦅An "adore me" parade for a felon is not going to fix this🦅Vote em out🇺🇸
Indeed the second half is like seriously, and why the piece is talking about popular vote and electoral college win. No one is disputing that! DT won as someone put it, it wasn’t a landslide nor supreme victory (not even above 50% of votes), though it was decisive and uncontested
🤬🤬
Trump must have mailed knee pads to the editorial board.
F the Times.
Do NYT Legal get by-lines now?
They should, it’s only fair.
They protected Hitler too
