And for some reason the media continues to dog Biden. No mention of Trump's lies, no mention of his 34 guilty verdicts, no mention of the Heritage Foundation and it's connections to Orban and Russia. Only news of ANOTHER Democrat saying he should step down.

Susan, you’re so right. I worked for the ABC-TV affiliate in Washington, DC during Watergate. Can you imagine how I feel about how low our Fourth Estate has since sunk? So many enforcements that kept radicalism in check then are gone now. They were chiseled away one after the other by the far right. Now, ownership of U.S.media is a short list of billionaires without conscience. The sameness is mind-numbing: literally and on purpose. We have to rely on smaller but more truthful sources — and each other.

Exactly. This coup comes to look like an all-out assault that includes journalists who should have been expected to be responsible. Shameful.

Susan -- And the President said ( yesterday on the 4th, I think) that he was totally exhausted at the "debate"/debacle, having been traveling nonstop for days! He also said that he will no longer schedule anything after 4:00. I'm an old lady (8 years older than Biden) and need a nap every afternoon so I can stay up until midnight! ;-)
