You can almost smell the sweat. The Democrats and their media handmaidens are starting to panic about Joe Biden’s prospects.
The proof comes in their efforts to wish away the wave of crime and violence engulfing many American cities. Their argument can be boiled down to two false claims. First, it’s President Trump’s fault. Second, it’s not that big of a wave.
The first is patently absurd on its face. Democratic mayors running nearly all those cities are pulling back cops and rejecting federal help. The blood is on their hands.
The second claim is outrageously cold-hearted. It means the left sees hundreds of murders, mostly of black men, and the wholesale destruction of property as small prices to pay for putting Biden in the White House.
And so they whistle as they pass the graveyards.

I agree. The NYT laughably claiming that dead people in the street and burning buildings are no big deal is a tottering step in that direction but it's entirely futile. "If it bleeds, it ledes" goes the saying, and they're stuck in their own addiction for sensationalism.
The problem is, to a very large degree they started this thing themselves and are finding they can't turn it off. That's news to a lot of journalists and editors who really should have known better, but they're equally trapped in an illusion of self-importance. If what I'm praying for happens in November, they're going to be doing some serious dancing but they will never lay the blame on the face in the mirror, where it belongs.
Not going to happen. Congress will never vote to limit themselves no matter who the President is or what Party He/She is in.
The media has been trying to bury the extent of Antifa violence.
That ends when Republican campaign commercials ramp up.

There just has to be a way around that! Can’t believe our Founders blew that one.
They did and Congress isn’t about to do anything that limits themselves. Sorry to say that, but it is just a fact!
DNC BLM plan leaves soot on their faces bring voodoo dolls out of closet.
Remember the tale about the frog and the scorpion?
Democrats are the Frog. Antifa/BLM is the scorpion.
Thanks, MtnClimber. What a splendid piece of journalism this is! Michael Goodwin was a star at the New York Times many, many moons ago.
And that training explains why is prose and argument make for such a compelling read.
Today, Goodwin is one of very few honest pundits who work for big city newspapers.
