“Some are incensed that after (much delayed) scrutiny of Biden’s mental deterioration, Trump still gets a pass for what in anyone else would be regarded as utter derangement. The trouble with this argument … is that Biden was clearly declining fast because of incipient dementia and physical frailty, which is a story; and Trump has always been nuts, is not appreciably nuttier than he ever was, and, in stark contrast with Biden, seems physically robust. The MSM is dead right to report every single one of these madnesses, but to frame every news story with the narrative of Trump’s mental illness is not and cannot be the job of the reporter. … It’s merely our job, as citizens and voters, to note that we have one mentally ill candidate in this race and one mediocre but sane one. And to vote accordingly.” [editor’s note: There are also candidates who are better than either – TLK] (09/06/24)
