Where was the call for Trump to drop out after his conviction on 34 felony counts?

NYT still big mad they didn't get the Biden interview. Sad and childish. Where was the call for Trump to drop out after his conviction on 34 felony counts?


Trump called war dead losers and suckers. He should step aside as the Republican nominee.

Trump is an adjudicated rapist. He should step aside as the Republican nominee.

Trump has been convicted on 34 felony charges. He should step aside as the Republican nominee.

Trump is charged with inciting an insurrection for trying to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. He should step aside as the Republican nominee.

Trump willfully retained our most guarded secrets and obstructed the government’s efforts to get them back. He should step aside as the Republican nominee.

A jury has found Trump liable for $454M in disgorgement for fraud. He should step aside as the Republican nominee.

Trump’s business has been convicted on 17 felony counts of tax fraud. He should step aside as the Republican nominee.

The Republicans should have kicked the RAPIST off the ticket in October 2016 when the Access Hollywood tape was leaked. But tell us again about Bill Clinton and White House interns...

A convicted felon can't get any other job -- why should they be able to become the president of an entire country????

...there is a positive way to take this:

The NYT expects that Biden is open to appeals to make a personal sacrifice for the good of the country (if, indeed dropping out would be for the good).

On the other hand, it's considered baked-in that the Republican party and Trump's supporters don't care about Trump's lies and dangerous plans, and that Trump would never heed any call based on doing something for the good of anyone but himself.

They may say they 'don't want' Trump in the White House again,
but they sure as f**k have been doing everything they can to MAKE it happen,
all because their publisher didn't get his fucking interview.

RESIGN, YOU NYT MAGGOT ENABLERS!!!

Frankly, I've thought for awhile that the NYT has had it in the bag for Trump. I'm on a NYT mailing list. I've seen that their polls have been skewed in Trumps favor compared to others you can find. They send out this thing out called "The Tilt." And it sure is. Tilted right. I can't stand to read it anymore.
