Nobody is talking about anything right now except the memes around cats and dogs. You and I, we agree it's racist, but independents may buy this hook without thinking it's racist. We agree that everything coming out of his mouth is lies and garbage, but independents are much more neutral and are willing to give him, the former president, the benefit of the doubt. They probably are thinking, wow, things have gotten bad in Springfield, instead of haha what a crazy old man who lost the debate. They aren't thinking about swift because this cat thing has completely flooded the zone. This is what Trump did all for years

The topic does not matter.
The assertion at hand does not matter.
Whether anyone believes the assertion does not matter.
The only thing that matters is: Are you playing offense or defense?
Cuz attacking looks like winning. And explaining looks like losing.
That is a great series!
Swift, the crazy cat lady, gives endorsement, distract with crazy cat news. This is a distraction, Trump does this
It's a distraction, classic Trump move to get you to look at something else
People, remember how Trump presidency went! Bad news for Trump? Float a batshiit crazy thing to get the media to play with that shiny ball instead. This is a fucking distraction, Trump lost the debate, he is courting fascists, he is old and weird and people leave his rallys bored, he had to throw a stink bomb
It's an opinion piece, not representing the nyt
I know some Estonians, they could do it while black out drunk
Then what? Let us not fall into the Iraq trap
I honestly didn't understand the media timing. It seems like it would be more effective to wait until the bump from the debate was over, then do the swift bump to keep the beat
Did nobody notice the moment when he tried to silence her and added, 'sound familiar' to make some sexist remark about telling women to shut up? "I'm talking now, sound familiar?"
Who is defending? Not them, they are doubling down. Everyone else is calling the mayor and asking for a statement, or doing some vox pop with Haitians on the ground.
