    Yes, yes it is news.

    No former President has ever been brought to trial for a crime before.

    A major Presidential candidate who is unable to function is also news.

      So we should make fun of his medical conditions and call him a big dumb poopy butt? This kind of dismissive, glib, ultimately humanizing to his follower content got him elected on the first place.

      I’m not standing up for him, but goddamn if we aren’t repeating history.

        No one is making fun of a medical condition. People are making fun of a man, who has made attacking his opponent for being old and tired a central theme of his campaign, hypocritically falling asleep during a fucking criminal trial.

        As the article notes, he is selling himself as a strong man opposed to Biden who is old and weak and tired. Any chance the media has to strip that pathetic and empty veneer off is good for the country, especially if it draws more attention to his criminal trial where he tried to bribe someone to help him win an election.

        That’s not actually in the article.

        His followers knew he was a terrible person in 2016. There were literally hundreds of examples of his atrocious behavior; everything from the pussy gabber tape to calling not getting VD in his tomcat days his ‘personal Vietnam.’
