"Today, Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review (the flagship conservative magazine founded by William F. Buckley Jr.), published an article claiming that Donald Trump could win the 2024 election 'on character.'”

"As of Monday, August 26, 2024, we can safely say that the NYTimes is an 'unserious newspaper.'
The NYT’s Monday edition included a guest essay by Rich Lowry entitled, Trump Can Win on Character. ...
When the Times opens its editorial pages to opinions that are objectively, demonstrably false and misleading, the Times should be viewed as approving of those opinions."

"No responsible editorial board would platform such views unless it believed they were held in good faith and belonged within the realm of public discourse."

"Trump has done what no Democrat—not Bill or Hillary Clinton, not Mario Cuomo or John Kerry, not Joe Biden or Barack Obama, not any Democrat—could have done. He has, at the national level, made the Republican Party de facto pro-choice."

"Who in the pro-life movement—Al Mohler, Mike Huckabee, Franklin Graham, Eric Metaxas, Marjorie Dannenfelser, Ralph Reed, Tony Perkins, Robert Jeffress, and countless others—will speak out, publicly and forcefully and relentlessly, against Trump’s about-face?"

"Will they tell the full truth, which is that abortions increased during the Trump presidency, that the pro-life movement is weaker than at almost any time in its history, and that, when it comes to making the Republican Party the home of the pro-life cause, Trump is doing unprecedented damage?
Will they now say of Trump what they say of liberal Democrats, that he supports the murder of innocent unborn children?"

"Once the strategic, logistical, and ideological concerns are resolved, there’s only one thing left to explain the lack of anti-Trump Republican support for Kamala.
These people are chickenshit. ...
To all the GOP politicians who, deep in their heart, know that Trump is too grave a risk."

"To the seventeen Republicans who voted to impeach and convict him. To the vice president he would’ve happily left for dead.
Say it loud and proud: Kamala Harris for president.
I promise you it will be a relief to get it off your chest. Because doing the right thing is never the wrong thing."

Donald Trump was so weak toward Russia that former national security adviser H.R. McMaster told his wife, "I cannot understand Putin’s hold on Trump.”

"Arlington is the country's 'most hallowed ground.' (Just ask the tour guides.) Arlington is profaned by his presence on just an average day. But to allow itself to be used for the purpose propping up one of the Republican Party's most noxious half-truths—as promulgated by its most noxious elements personified by its most noxious candidate—is an insult to the over 400 Medal of Honor awardees buried there."

If a former President wants to lay a wreath at the national cemetery, really, what can anyone say.

@the5thColumnist I think anyone can say anything she or he wants — as Charles Pierce does here with his usual eloquence. He recognizes, of course, that the claiom this is simply a former president laying a wreath at a national cemetery is entirely mendacious and dishonest, and he speaks, as he says, as an American citizen outraged at this use of a cemetery for those who died defending the US as a stage prop for that person.

@jadugar63 It definitely takes some audicious mental gymnastics to speak of Trump and character in the same breath.

@wdlindsy I choose to look at his presence anywhere as obscene but, yes, the Arlington thumbs up takes it to a whole new level.
