This is what is known as an admission against interests.

The NYT finally admits that the depolicing that they specifically and the left generally pushed post George Floyd resulted in a massive increase in traffic fatalities. 

What they failed to admit in this article:

  • The massive increase in traffic fatalities mirrors the concurrent massive increase in homicides, and
  • The vast majority of the victims of both have been urban blacks.
Leftists have blood on their hands.

The left's responsibility for having less government. I've often said the idea that government is a left right spectrum is a bunch of hooey, and this illustrates that. We don't need poindexters constantly in our lives in a misguided effort to save the children.

The left pushed depolicing in response to Floyd and literally thousands of people died as a result.  You are ok with this?

This isn't true, but also it isn't "the left's fault" or "the right's fault" whenever something bad happens because the government didn't prevent it. Such is the path to having the government in every faculty of your life.

Trump had a lot of good will after being shot at. See he is being on brand and squandering it.

Not following you. Are you talking about how he picked a misogynistic asshole as his running mate and is now scrambling to defend it? Or how he told a group of Christians that if you just vote for him one more time that you won't have to vote again because it'll be fixed so good you no longer need to vote? Or is it how he went into a Black Journalists interview and instead of reaching out with an olive branch decided to be combative and opine whether Kamala is actually black? 

I find it hard to keep up... Which squandering are we talking about today?

Wow.  So balanced. ( NOT). 😂

Nothing remotely misogynistic about his VP choice, and he doesn’t need to nor is he scrambling to defend it ( unless you follow the MSNBC/CNN cult).
 
And “ he decided” to be combative?

again, you obviously are reading the cult news clips, and didn’t watch the interview.  The first question was something like:  “ You’re the biggest racist asshole that ever lived and we all hate you and want you dead and I think you’re the scum of the earth so why don’t you tell us why we should vote for you?”  😂😂

for those of us who hate the medias, incredible left lean and bias my guess is he picked up some boats there today.

LOL, all of the above I suppose, though today was a real clunker that turned off pretty much everyone. Trump is perfectly capable of being charming, but seems almost to be irresistably drawn to making weird, offensive statements.

He's a narcissistic asshole and he says and does asshole things.  No surprises there.

Haven't claimed to be balanced. I'm anti-Trump. The fact that he constantly gives me ammunition, over and over and over and over and over, isn't exactly *my* problem.

Yes. Lots of ways to handle that situation. Lots of BETTER ways. He chose to be combative. Because he can't control himself.

Can’t deny that.  His diarrhea mouth never stops.
