"slow-motion train derailment,"

An odd turn of phrase.

I am convinced that the media is careful about their phrasing. If you Google "Joe Biden trainwreck" will you find anything? Yes, but not a lot. And Morning Joe calling it a train derailment just obscures how often someone expressed the idea that Joe was a trainwreck.

They do this with terms like "undocumented worker" and whatnot just to make it challenging to Google certain things. You find some articles, but not all articles. If you want to really research illegal immigration, you need to track a lot of "artful phrases" that get used to discuss the issue without actually naming the elephant in the room.

Well said. Scarborough clearly wanted to avoid calling Biden’s campaign a “train wreck,” but “derailment” isn’t much better!

Or, use a real search engine.
