That comes from the most untrustworthy "news" organization of all time, the New York Times, and is couched under news analysis by Peter Baker, who says dishonesty has defined the Trump presidency which has been a factory of falsehood from the start, churning out distortions, conspiracy theories and brazen lies at an assembly-line pace that has challenged fact-checkers and defied historical analogy.
The blog author is beside himself as the New York Times projects its own behavior on to the President, as they are lost in delusion and believe they still have something they lost long ago.
That doesn't make Trump a truth-telling saint or angel at all, but as is often said, it is not about him, it's about them.
The next phrase was found upon a turn-in from the lead B1 article:
So much for FDR as that comes from criminal medical profe$$ionals with an assist from the agenda-pushing pre$$, and can you blame me for saying fu*k this?

The rest of today's Globe is (almo$t) all about the election, from front to back:
That's the ostensible lead that dominates most of the top fold as "Biden works to push Black turnout in campaign’s final days" because Trump is getting a higher percentage of Black men (thus the focus), and Latinos who know socialism first hand and are here because they did not like it.
I'm told "Latinos are casting ballots in higher numbers than ever before in Texas and polls show the state has become a battleground in the presidential race, and yet every Republican presidential candidate since Bob Dole in 1996 has swept up about a third of the Latino vote nationwide — and some polls have Trump holding steady or performing better with Latinos since 2016, particularly among working class men in rural South Texas, which is largely working class and Latino and where turnout has lagged, a positive sign for Trump."
They offset the female vote?
The Globe says for every Trump supporter who likes his approach and style, there appears to be a woman who has been turned off, and speaking of women, before moving along you must pause her for there is a video you must absolutely watch at bottom, with a huge h/t to the GC, who is without a doubt the point of the spear in this war for humanity (the now removed video can be seen here).
According to the Globe, women will decide the election because they are out of work (the New York Times tells you why) and Harris is a glimmer of hope who could help build power and may be queen if you can say her name right and she doesn't test positive for coronavirus.
That leads to question about Melania, who has been absent from the campaign because Trumps’ teenage son Barron tested positive for coronavirus with no symptoms -- so even the their own children must be used to bow down to the evil masters and this COVID fraud.
The Globe is of the opinion that Trump needs women to like him again, and so far, they do not and if women do bail on Trump, it may be because of his character and theirs. If not, some Women’s March demonstrators may take over Boston streets because Trump has a habit of bashing women who challenge him while mistreating and bullying those who do not.
The wild card is the college vote that is a profound opportunity for younger voters to become the most influential voting bloc:
Laura Krantz of the Globe Staff says "the enthusiasm is there and despite the obstacles, many students are more determined than ever to cast ballots in this election — and activists in Boston and nationwide are finding innovative ways to boost turnout, but still, there are indications the pandemic might be hampering the college vote, but despite the difficulties of remote learning, said Nancy Thomas, director of the Institute for Democracy & Higher Education at Tufts University, which promotes and tracks college student voting, students have found creative ways to encourage their peers to cast ballots and “what we are seeing is challenges because of COVID, and then innovations to overcome those challenges,” Thomas said, at Harvard, at Penn, in Wisconsin, and in Boston at Boston University and Northeastern."
Be prepared to show your badge when you go vote, kids.
The inference is that four-term Republican incumbent Susan Collins isn't changing with it.
At the bottom of the front page was this:
I'm told it is about "saving the economy and saving lives as public officials and business executives are rattled by a resurgent pandemic and scrambling to avoid another destructive lockdown by closing only a sliver of the economy in the hardest hit cities and towns, while pushing for a radical expansion of testing into everyday life because it could help keep the economy open. They are calling for frequent and widespread screening — not just for frontline workers such as doctors and nurses as happens now, but for far more residents. Sometimes called serial testing, proponents say it would make it easier to isolate more people -- thus the purpose of the you don't know where you got it BS from yesterday.
The plan is to test everybody like in Slovakia, all the time, forever, because manufacturing the faulty tests is now an industry!

I had to hunt for the page A2 co-leads:
That is obviously meant to motivate the women, and is a reminder that it is time to shore up our abortion laws after the election is over because of the new Girl Scout and the Supreme Court as the Evil Pope is halting his public general audiences and limiting participation at Christmas and other upcoming Masses amid a surge of coronavirus cases in Italy and the Vatican but not Montenegro.

If confirmed, she would become the first Black woman to lead the state’s highest court in its 328-year history and the Globe says she is the right choice to be chief justice of the Supreme Judicial Court and will not only make history, she has the right skill set to lead the state’s judicial branch, while if elected, Biden would be only the second Roman Catholic president in U.S. history and first since John F. Kennedy.
That is the environment in which we are campaigning:
I'm sure Trump will reverse himself at some point after the storm is gone amidst the quake of a landslide against him as the voters decide. Sorry to compress all these stories, but we are on the verge of extinction as the Atlantic Ocean is the hottest its been in nearly 3,000 years and climate change means more weather disasters every year despite the private efforts of those like billionaire Bill Gates and his ilk.
Trump is fighting them as best he can and has some allies who are not on board with the winds of change coming down the tracks where many thorny global situations hinge on US election outcome (do these look like fall and winter arrivals to you?).
The briefs on the page herald the post-election environment:
Was apparently a personal issue that tarred the good names of Canada as “ski resorts across the United States and Canada are slowly picking up the pieces and figuring out how to safely reopen this winter, roughly seven months after the coronavirus cut the ski season short at the height of spring break as they are very optimistic about skiing this winter” even as Canada prolonged its ban on non-essential US travel for another month in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19, with both countries in the grips of a second wave.
"Ivory Coast residents braced for more unrest Sunday as election officials began releasing the first results from the country's presidential election and opponents of President Alassane Ouattara stepped up their criticism of his quest for a third term. Opposition leaders who boycotted the election have claimed that at least 30 people have died in election-related violence, without giving further details. They urged the international community to take note that Ouattara's mandate was finished. Prominent dissident Guillaume Soro said from exile in France that he no longer considered Ouattara to be Ivory Coast's head of state. Soro, a former prime minister and president of Ivory Coast's National Assembly, was disqualified earlier this year from running in Saturday's election. “Faced with the electoral parody in Ivory Coast, (the GPS party) calls on the Ivorian people to remove former president Alassane Ouattara from power,” Soro tweeted from exile in France. “Ivory Coast will assume its destiny and the impostor will fall.”
"Georgia’s ruling party won the ex-Soviet nation’s highly contested parliamentary election, according to preliminary results announced Sunday that the opposition refused to recognize as valid and used to call for protests, saying they were manipulated. With more than 99% of ballots counted, the Georgian Dream party had received 48.1% of the vote in Saturday’s election, according to the website of Georgia’s Central Election Commission. The biggest opposition alliance, led by the United National Movement party, got 27.1%. Several more opposition parties cleared the 1% threshold to get seats in Parliament. Irakli Kobahidze, Georgian Dream’s executive secretary, said the party won enough seats in the 150-seat parliament to form a government, but the opposition claimed the election was rigged and refused to recognize the results. Members of opposition parties and their supporters blocked a central street in the capital and vowed to hold mass rallies until their demands are met....."
It hasn't worked in Belarus, but Trump will more likely end up like the President of Kyrgyzstan:
So says the New York Times, as lockdowns multiply.
The New York Times got angry about it, and he really has the weight of the world on his shoulders with U.S. coronavirus cases mounting and Thanksgiving being an inflection point point according to Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration who is finally standing up to the President and distancing himself from him after the CDC redefined the COVID-19 close contact guidelines despite a Defense Department study of the risk of catching the coronavirus on a packed commercial flight that concluded that a person would have to be sitting next to an infectious passenger for at least 54 hours to receive a dangerous dose of the virus through the air.
He waited waited too long to muzzle the criminal who is now predicting a whole lot of hurt this fall and winter with deaths per day on the rise again just as health experts had feared, and cases are climbing in practically every state, despite assurances from President Donald Trump over the weekend that “we’re rounding the turn, we’re doing great,” while Michael Osterholm, a University of Minnesota expert on infectious diseases who warned over the summer of a fall surge, said what’s happening now is a confluence of three factors: “pandemic fatigue” among people who are weary of hunkering down and are venturing out more; “pandemic anger” among those are don’t believe the scourge is a real threat; and cold weather, which is forcing more Americans indoors, where the virus can spread more easily. “When you put those three together, we shouldn’t be surprised what we’re seeing.”
I'm told that as coronavirus cases and deaths were rising in the United States last spring, Jared Kushner, President Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law, told an interviewer that the president had taken the “country back from the doctors” as he waged war on his own government.
This was a surprise, but not really:
PFFFT!
I know that "people should be afraid," but this is all really over-the-top, jump-the-shark stuff!

So sayeth the New York Times.
It's a New York Times poll that says Biden appears to be bolstered by the support of voters who did not participate in the 2016 election and who now are turning out in large numbers to cast their ballots in what is a key prize because voting is fundamentally an act of hope.
The New York Times reports that 48 percent of likely Iowa voters are supporting Trump and 41 percent are backing Biden, so it is no longer a toss-up.
The New York Times di$approves of it, and now you know where the campaign cash is going because we have never had final results on election day.
I'm still undecided even though few thousand votes can mean the difference despite the Russian interference after the New York Times full hatchet job on Trump. If he loses Michigan I doubt he will be locked up or killed after the witch hunt that never was. I'm the real forgotten voter who is not proud, part of Trump's shrinking base as even voting is now polarized rather than narrowing differences and debating respectfully as the Globe scores the debate performances of Donald Trump and Joe Biden with Biden ahead in new Virginia poll as Democrats are celebrating Biden’s polling lead with abject dread and predicting a dark winter if Trump wins because Republicans are narrowing the gap. The Globe will have to answer for it if that is the case.
The AP is already calling Minnesota and Georgia for Biden while Trump stumbles in New Hampshire, according to new Suffolk/Globe poll that's says Biden is hiking his lead and causing Pence to drop by New Hampshire. That's despite Trump's secret weapon and Big Red Machine that will hit with airstrikes and sanctions against the a bipartisan group of former leaders who have joined forces to protect our democracy along with five Reagan White House lawyers and the former war-criminal president George W. Bush as the Democrats are no longer writing off Texas and see it as one of the swing states that are key to victory as Trump and the GOP make it impossible to vote to help beat Trump in the most important election since the last election.
Not only does Biden lead in the polls, he raised a record $383 million in September, leaves him with $432 million in the bank and with three times as much cash as Trump just weeks before the Nov. 3 election and has gained a big fundraising lead over Trump and his campaign that is $421 million in debt with Alaska an unlikely battleground because the swamp has became a cesspool in the rush to secure Trump’s legacy and this is no time to sit on the sidelines because if the Democrats take power, they will wield it aggressively and without sentiment.
Meanwhile, Jess Bidgood of the Globe Staff says Trump is leaning heavily on unfounded fears of massive voter fraud to win crucial Pennsylvania and warning that Democrats are conspiring to steal the election, a message that has been embraced by other Republican officials and seeped down to voters who plan to heed Trump’s call to keep an eye on the polls and guard against a problem — voter fraud — that experts say is exceedingly rare as a record avalanche of early votes transforms the 2020 election:
Voters filled out ballots during early voting at the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections in Cleveland early this month (Tony Dejak/Associated Press).
Thus Pennsylvania has become a battleground over election security, and add to that an investigation into military ballots that were mistakenly discarded in one swing county, partisan sniping in the state Capitol over the processing of what is expected to be an avalanche of mailed-in ballots and an 11th hour attempt by Republican lawmakers to create an election integrity commission it becomes one of the most hotly contested presidential battleground states is trying to conduct a pandemic election in a hyper-partisan environment where every move related to the voting process faces unrelenting scrutiny from both sides because they are vulnerable to USPS slowdowns as millions vote by mail. If not, rush right out and do your duty and give Biden the advantage.
The Washington Compost offered and inside look at conservative strategies, obsessions, and fears at a pivotal moment after the backlash against NBC before the final debate as the rancor intensifies and tensions are high at early-voting sites where Indian-Americans overwhelmingly support Joe Biden according to a New York Times poll, and while Obama decries Trump as he urges voters to the polls!
Expect the vote counts to be delayed after the presidential campaign ends (a report says Mitt Romney says he didn’t vote for Trump because he was standing up for democracy while Trump critics who embraced Maryland Governor Larry Hogan are baffled by vote his for Reagan as the anti-Gipper has turned young voters against the GOP and Republican senators socially distance from Trump as thousands of naturalized voters will cast ballots for first time combative Trump and a deliberate Biden spar from afar at town halls that were better than a debate where Trump upended his strategy after the moderator was suspended.
The Globe tells you what you can do now to protect the 2020 election. First and foremost is to get the lead out and wear a mask on the campaign trail where, according to a Washington Compost-ABC poll, Biden leads Trump narrowly in Michigan and significantly in Wisconsin as the US reports more than 500,000 COVID-19 cases in a week, a record according to the New York Times, as states and cities resorted to stricter measures to contain the virus that is raging across the country, especially the American heartland where the virus is the issue.
Fortunately, the fight is in Florida as Biden has made the president’s handling of the coronavirus the centerpiece of his case for removing Trump from office, and Trump quickly moved on to attack his perceived enemies, including Biden and the news media, and even mocked some of his fellow Republicans, but Republicans are catching up with in-person early voting, narrowing the margin with each day and the president is well positioned to finish Florida strongly, but “anecdotally, I’ve heard from a lot of Republicans that they voted for Biden.”
Despite the problems of the past, Florida believes its system is ready and it's early counting of mail-in ballots could help election night clarity as it has lured the biggest name in hedge funds to its shores. Good thing your vote is anonymous because the Wisconsin Republican Party says hackers stole $2.3 million and Pelosi warned voters to deliver ballots in person because Trump snubbed McSally in Arizona where the issue is health care, health care, health care while in North Carolina it is the Democratic Senate candidate Cal Cunningham's recent scandal, according to a new NBC News/Marist poll.
What has been missing is any debate on the death and despair of the wars even as Iran is rearming and Europe is stricken by weakness caused by the pandemic and Trump's trade war that he has conceded and lo$t. Isreal will just have to go it alone as the U.S. withdraws from the region and as the Palestinians expressed hope that a victory by the Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would raise prospects for a peace deal even has the Democrats are threatened by e-mails sent by Iran.
Given the state of the world these days, one has to wonder how much good has the United States really done in the world?
The Globe has some songs to get you through Election Day because you could probably use the diversion as they issue a plea for competence as the rule of law is under assault after a convicted murderer was freed after nearly 50 years in prison and the state board stripped pension of a former State Police trooper convicted in a fraud scandal.
It's clear COVID is still paying dividends as Trump's coronavirus response is a 'failure (never mind that the models said 2 million would be dead by now and it is allegedly 1/10th of that and likely much lower) as the Globe's readers are overflowing with anti-Trump sentiment and are angry at Boston Bruins legend Bobby Orr for endorsing Trump in a new ad because “that’s the kind of teammate he wants.”
Thus the question remains, are you better off than four years ago?
A Biden victory alone wouldn’t return to rationality, but man who helped create Fox News fully expects that Biden will win — and frankly isn’t too bothered by that because "Fox thrives when it is in the opposition because they have a real-time bad guy to beat up on,'' said Jonathan Klein, a former president of CNN, and ''a Biden win would be great for Fox’s business,'' while the Globe says losing by a landslide can be fun.
It's looking like that might be the case because he canceled the election night celebration and he's planning to leave the country if he loses even though he is deeply superstitious and his approach to politics has always been to treat it as something of a mystical proposition, governed by otherworldly forces in a world in which things generally work out in his favor.
So if Trump won’t concede or manages to win it will be official: COVID-19 won, and I'm sure his supporters, a bunch white supremacists who are always fingered but outnumbered, of will clash with counterprotesters during days of demonstrations afterward, God bless them. The writing is on the wall with a cherry on top as you can already hear the bullhorns, and the opponents should look on the bright side: he can never run for election again.
In any event, the election is a winning opportunity for Boston tech firm Clear Ballot, and the Globe editorializes to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst -- which is exactly what they do with their BRAVE NEW PLANET opinion pieces pushing the Great Re$et where algorithms assess the risk a defendant poses to public safety (Minority Report anyone?), but who am I to decide when algorithms should make important decisions anyway?

I'm told the “virus isn’t going anywhere,” and it appears to like churches and hockey rinks but not approved, agenda-pushing protests
Walker says in the strange final days of this race without precedent, the stagecraft has felt decisively overtaken by reality.
The juxtaposition couldn't be more sharp when one flips below the fold and finds this article below:
While few said they believe civil unrest after the Nov. 3 election is likely, many are reinforcing windows, securing valuable inventory, and hiring extra security just in case.
The Globe says Trump ran for ran for president because of a joke, and it is tormenting comedian Jon Rineman.
Truth be told, I have been paying much attention. I know there is a Senate race up for grabs (if I have learned nothing else, it is not to vote for O'Conner because he makes me sick) and early voting has started and voters have lined up to cast ballots to be sure their voice was heard as the November election may be weeks away, but many Massachusetts residents are already casting mail-in ballots, and in addition to choosing the president, voters are being asked to weigh in on two ballot questions that the Globe's takes closer look at, but when all is said and done don't even have the final say after all so who cares if you vote yes on Question 1 or vote no on Question 1 and the tech behind the high-stakes, complex industry battle, or how you rank them (have to reevaluate with Globe sending me mug shot mask ads and Baker issuing a outdoors mask mandate).
It's expected to be a barn-burner of a vote (the cause was a carelessly disposed of cigarette and the guy who set it is a Trump supporter) and Mayor Walsh says he doesn't think we'll see voter intimidation here in Boston after more than 130,000 requests for mail-in ballots and the city elected it's first openly gay city councilor.
I know I am preaching to the choir as Uber and Lyft are in an Election Day showdown with California and Massachusetts might be next.
