When the history of the 2024 election is written, one of the iconic images illustrating it will surely be the mug shot taken of Donald J. Trump after one of his four indictments, staring into the camera with his signature glare. It is an image not of shame but of defiance, the image of a man who would be a convicted felon before Election Day and yet possibly president of the United States again afterward.
Sometimes lost amid all the shouting of a high-octane campaign heading into its final couple of weeks is that simple if mind-bending fact. America for the first time in its history may send a criminal to the Oval Office and entrust him with the nuclear codes. What would once have been automatically disqualifying barely seems to slow Mr. Trump down in his comeback march for a second term that he says will be devoted to “retribution.”
In all the different ways that Mr. Trump has upended the traditional rules of American politics, that may be one of the most striking. He has survived more scandals than any major party presidential candidate, much less president, in the life of the republic. Not only survived but thrived. He has turned them on their head, making allegations against him into an argument for him by casting himself as a serial victim rather than a serial violator.
His persecution defense, the notion that he gets in so much trouble only because everyone is out to get him, resonates at his rallies where he says “they’re not coming after me, they’re coming after you, and I’m just standing in the way.” But that of course belies a record of scandal stretching across his 78 years starting long before politics. Whether in his personal life or his public life,...

Once again, the NYT shows they’re just grasping at straws.
They see the polls and they’re terrified and it’s making them even more hysterical than usual.
I've never seen the NY Times be this bad. They always used to pretend they were legitimate, but now they just don't care anymore.
>> The NYT has officially replaced the National Enquirer as the most dishonest, sleaziest paper in the country.
New NYT Motto: “All the ooze and sh!t we print!”
Have they no decency?
The New York Times supported Hitler one knows what to expect form it.
They never did give back that Pulitzer Prize awarded to Walter Duranty under false pretenses.
New York Slimes gaslighting again, “lifetime of scandals”.
Why even bother posting the Slime’s slime?
No one cares what they have to say.
What does this help?
The lawfare was more an indictment of the corruption of the justice system rather than Trump. The cases tried in NY were a travesty of justice. Jailing political opposition is what they do communist countries. Trump America has exercised jury nullification. We don’t care what you have charged him with and we don’t care if he was convicted of fake crimes.
That’s an idea. Valuation of NYT is about $8-9 B, while Elon’s worth is $245 B.
But Elon invests only on future stuff, never on relics of the past.
Rush Limbaugh spent most of his shows discussing content from NYT, WaPo, LAT, etc. I miss Rush's insight and get bored reading things I agree with all the time, so I post articles that Rush probably would have discussed. Lots of people are interested in them, judging from the number of comments the articles get. Precious snowflakes who claim to be too delicate to be exposed to even their titles sound like they have personal problems they should probably broach with their therapists.
My FRiend ... you are NO Rush Limbaugh.
We’re 16 days out ... give it rest, please :-)
You do you and I’ll do me.
New York Slimes...”All the News that’s *hit to print”
Author is playing fast and loose with the word, “judgment”. He needs to worry about his own life and lies and the judgment to come.
Could you please stop posting this crap?
I guess I have a different view of posting the NYT. Most if not all articles of the NYT today (and many days) are posted by E. Pluribus Unum. While that is fine and well within the rules, I have to ask what do they add to the conversation. I know, know your enemy, but we all know that the NYT is nothing but propaganda for the Left and their articles add nothing to intelligent discourse and are nothing but spin, propaganda and outright lies. We know what they are going to print before they even write it. So, I guess, to each his own.
