Packer's piece is outstanding, and a reminder that if people who believe "government is the problem" get to run the government, their belief is self-fulfilled. And for God knows what reason, the NY Times is deeply invested in normalizing the aberrant behavior of the most corrupt, obnoxious, and incompetent president in history. Expect "analysis" of Biden, and stenography for Trump.

It's always been that way. Remember how they fawned over Reagan as a silver tongued orator who crushed his opponents with his "there you go again". Blah! Bush W was the guy you wanted to have a beer with. Not me! When Sam Donaldson told me that Reagan out debated Jimmy Carter I know that something was going on, and it's never stopped since then. I can only assume it is powerful corporations directing the narrative to their advantage no matter what. Even if we run the table in November they will still be there!
