NYTimes: Harris Is the Only Patriotic Choice

I have told you many times why I could never under any circumstances vote for Donald Trump for office. I completely disagree with his views on both foreign and domestic policy, but it's his poor morale character that repels me. He is a professional wrestling "heel" who revels in outlandish statements with little regard to veracity. This appears to be the view of the NY Times editorial board as well, which has just declared that Kamala Harris is the only patriotic choice in the Presidential race.

The editorial starts with this: "It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks."

You can buy his $499 watch, but it's time to stop buying his bullshit.

    1. I have been reading Bernie for a long time, and to call him anti-military is truly ridiculous.

  4. Here's an excerpt from that article. 'She may not be the perfect candidate for every voter, especially those who are frustrated and angry about our government’s failures to fix what’s broken — from our immigration system to public schools to housing costs to gun violence.' I mean, this is REALLY their argument?! Forget about EVERYTHING that matters to you and to our country and still vote for her. They cannot be serious!!

    1. Adults realize that they cannot have every thing that they want...in life, or in a candidate, and make nuanced judgments accordingly. I think the point of the article is that even though there may be aspects of Vice President Harris which are not perfect in every way for every voter, Mr. Trump has provide himself to be unworthy of high office. That this is not obvious to (nearly) half of my fellow citizens is a mystery to me.

    2. He already proved he can be an excellent president as evidenced by his four years as president

      Delete
    3. Yeah. He was so excellent during those 4 years as president, the People fired his fat tangerine ass 4 years later.

  5. 10:34....you would rather vote for a scum bag that has an affair with another woman while his wife is pregnant with their child. Or how about being a veteran and voting for the draft dodger calling veterans "losers and suckers". Or as a senior citizen vote for the lying sonofabitch who said he had nothing to do with the insurrection. The best part of donald Tramp ran down his mothers leg.

  6. What "qualifications" does the NY Times thinks should exist to become President? He's a natural born U.S. citizen, is over 35 years old and has lived in the country for at least 14 years. He is certainly qualified be President.

  7. I suspect it's going to get real quiet on this blog after the election, when all the frothing MAGA folk realize that they are in fact an extremist fringe group who live in an alternate reality. Some people are going to vote for Trump grudgingly, but for all those folks who watch Fox News non-stop and put Trump signs on their lawn, and drive around with an American eagle license plate on their truck -- as if that makes someone a patriotic American haha -- be ready for reality to come knocking in early November. Don't say you weren't warned!

    3. "Harris is by far more dangerous than Trump" = Russian spit drivel stupidity! Go away Yuri or Dmitri or whatever your name is!

      Trump will wreck our government on purpose -- turn it over to political hacks. For all those folks who say they hate politics and politicians, imagine Trump enacting Project 2025 and putting thousands of political types in government positions.

      Harris is a steady hand at the wheel. Cautious and experienced.

  9. You lost me at New York Times. they told us Trump colluded with the Russians, the Hunter Biden laptop was fake, Haitians were whipped at the border. Not sure why this is news because they haven't endorsed a republican since 1960. Lastly, Why is Trump getting internet and phones service for people and not Biden/Harris? I though he was unfit

  10. Bernie --- How different is unqualified from unfit ... Can we trust any component member of the current administration to produce policy which would build back America better when the Energy community says it cannot meet the guidelines that the current administration is imposing by the given year established. They are predicting reoccurring problems with the nation's electric grid not just in stormy weather but good times as well ... If the citizens of this country want us to become a backward third world country, then so be it. But that is not my choice.

  11. Trump is in Georgia today with Hurricane victims with supplies. Harris is still campaigning but supposedly on her way back to the WH to be briefed. Biden coughed his way through a 5 minute speech this AM at 11:30 saying he'd been in touch by phone. Who would you vote for?

  13. As a lifelong Republican involved in this area let me just say this to my fellow party members. There is about 60/70 percent of the party who are firmly in the Trump camp. The rest are coming to the conclusion that the only hope going forward for a winning ticket is for Trump to lose and lose big.So don't be surprised if we at a minimum don't vote .Just look at the polls for the Senate and congressman in the red states.Trump is just not the one for Republican ideals.

I will just assume it hasn't gotten bad enough yet... call me when you really think it sucks!!!
    We haven't had real journalism for the last 50 years or more... only OPINIONS!!!
    If anyone thinks Harris or Biden is moral, I have some beautiful swamp land and a few bridges for sale...

  25. It is obvious that most people, including you and the editors at various media outlets, do not own a business. All I hear is how big business is taking all from the little guy. Well, guess what? Most businesses are small businesses. After the 2016 election, we bought equipment and increased wages. After the 2020 election, we decided to sell. Why? Because we were in the oil and gas industry. An industry that was attacked by our own Govt. It is hard enough being in business against world wide govt subsidized competitors. Any yet Biden/Harris wanted a Tesla in every pot. Of course no one looked at the infrastucture, but that kind of jibes with the "we won't know what is in the bill until we pass it" mantra by Pelosi.

    Anyway, many of the takers want what others have, just because. Entitlement is dangerous. But FREE FREE is what people want. Go ahead and try running a business in this country. TAKE THE RISKS!!! Ahh, everyone wants the rewards, but doesn't want to risk everything they own. Typical.

    If you want to complain about the big honchos making big bucks, then step in and do the job! Report your dividends/losses. Become a billion dollar philanthropist Being is business is hard, especially for the small businesses. Trump is pro-business.
