We have to do better than Trump vs. Biden — they’re both just TERRIBLE
The New York Post ^ | 08/25/2023 | John Stossel

Posted on 08/25/2023 2:43:13 PM PDT by thegagline

The betting odds say the next election will likely be a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. It’s odd since polls show most Americans don’t like either man.

Trump is simply mean. He humiliates people, taking pleasure in mocking them publicly.

In his real-estate work, he’s famous for not paying little people who work for him. He stiffed a cabinet-builder, a dishwasher, and a plumber.

***

Trump lies even about unimportant things, like the crowd at his inauguration, ratings for his TV show, even claiming he won a nonexistent “Man of the Year” award. And of course, he lies about the big things, like winning the last election “by a landslide.”

But Biden lies, too. When Georgia required voters to show identification, Biden called that “Jim Crow on steroids.” ***

Jim Crow stopped black people from voting; after Georgia’s law passed, a poll found “zero percent of Black voters said they had a poor voting experience.” *** [Biden] repeatedly says he was arrested at a civil rights protest, but that’s not true.

This year, one cruel lie caught up with him: For years, Biden insisted he had six grandchildren, refusing to acknowledge the seventh, his son Hunter’s daughter, born out of wedlock.

***

Then there’s the corruption.

I hate political prosecutions, but so much of what Trump does is just sleazy.

He paid a porn star hush money and lied about it. He refused to return classified documents and lied about that. He pressured Vice President Mike Pence not to certify electors, then whipped his supporters into a frenzy about it.

But Biden is corrupt, too.

Asked about his son’s work in China, Biden firmly responded, “My son has not made money in . . . China.” But his son admits to making money from China!

[I edited the formatting as the original piece has a paragraph for every sentence]

Stossel essentially put forth the equivalence argument. This is both intellectually lazy to the point of it being fallacious.

Yes...President Trump is terrible. Terrible for leftists and communists like this author and I want President Trump to be my retribution against the communist voters pretending to be democrats.

Just to give him credit for the sake of argument - trying to compare Trumps “lies” which are exaggerations and bluster with Biden’s flat-out fabrications and proven falsehoods (lies that contradict documented facts not just opinion) - is like night vs. day.

Stossel is smarter than this. At least used to be, maybe he’s suffering from TDS which quickly rots the brain.

If any of the candidates had any cojones, they would end their campaign, go full vocal support for Trump, and say this was a “We hang together or we hang separatley” moment ala Patrick Henry.

If Trump wasn’t able to run, they would have everyone calling for them to step back in.

But none of them have any imagination.

Stossel is a homosexual, right? He wears that mustache favored by the Village People and homos.

If Trump sold $50 Million of US Policy and ruling as sitting Prez, Stossel would be in the streets handing out Gasoline to arsonists.

The New York Post has gone way way down since even a few
years ago. Yes, they’d go after Trump too, but today that’s
all they do.

These people don’t have a single clue what is going on in
this nation, and how different it really is.

Good different, who cares? It’s terrible different, and the
sad thing is, the saps pushing it won’t figure it out until
they are lined up in front of a ditch, side by side with
the rest of us.

Why doesn’t someone ask him, “What exactly is so terrible about Trump?”

After reading this one would never think that Rupert Murdock pays Stossel’s salary at the NY Post.

It’s odd since polls show most Americans don’t like either man.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What bullsh*t.

The fact is that over 70 million voters love President Trump. THey show up at his rallies to the tune of 30 thousand to over 100 thousand attendees. This drives old guarders like Stossel crazy.

John, given that you've proven ill-equipped for evaluating the facts and the consequences, you're clearly the wrong person to suggest a solution.

Which, predictably, you failed to do.

This isn't a movie script in which you have the luxury of selecting the best actor.

This is closer to brain surgery, wherein you must first accurately diagnose the problem.

Then you propose the best solution. Then you identify the best team to treat the patient.

Nowhere in that process is bedside manner a consideration!

Stossel is full of $hit!!!

Trump is an outsider and not part of the Deep State. He is the BEST man for the job of all the candidates running. In fact in the future I doubt I will ever vote for another politician..........THEY ARE ALL SCUM including 95% of the GOP!!!

Stossel is a spineless tool who hasn't got the stones to call out the election interference and the DNC-Media Complex lawfare, unlike Sarah Palin.

Nancy Pelosi probably keeps Johnny's manparts in her Sub-Zero freezer next to her tubs of Jeni's.
