A year away from Election Day 2024, former President Donald Trump is set to testify in a civil fraud trial and separately faces more than 90 criminal charges, setting up the possibility that a convicted felon tops the Republican ticket next November.

But it’s President Joe Biden’s political prospects that are plunging.

In another extraordinary twist to a 2024 campaign season that is more notable for court hearings than treks through early voting states, Trump is expected to be called to the witness stand in New York on Monday. This is hardly typical activity during a post-presidency. But Trump was, after all, the most unconventional president.

      CNN is owned by a right-wing billionaire. They’ve been trending right since Biden took office. They really showed their (new) colors when they did that first softball Trump interview.

      It’s almost definitely propaganda or at least lazy fact-checking that is useful to that end.

      The media is literally doing the same shit again. The only thing these polls should ask is “do you value US democracy?” Maybe if we didn’t have a story every fucking morning about how much stupid people care about a three year age difference, more people would be taking this seriously.
