Something that drives me a little insane, I'll admit, is that Trump's OWN LAWYERS at his impeachment told the Senators to vote not to convict him BECAUSE he could be prosucuted if it came to that. Now they're arguing that the only way he could be prosecuted is if they convicted.

Read the NYT daily. Which is why the 'NYT hates Biden and loves Trump and wants him to win' blather is less mature than anything you'll hear from the kids' backseat on their worst day. Trump's assault against the media will begin with the NYT. And anyone who reads it knows why.

'Biden is smart to keep the border-security pressure on. Earlier this year, Republicans spiked his border deal at Donald Trump’s behest; with that deal no longer tied to Ukraine aid, their excuses for opposing it will become even less plausible.'
