This is going to be fun to watch.

The article flat out accused Trump of having a "gentlemen's agreement" with Putin to get elected.

It was an opinion piece, the Trump campaign is pissing into the wind. All this will do is give the NYT an excuse to keep bringing it up, And that is my opinion.

What makes it a little different from the typical opinion piece is that the author is a former executive-level employee of the paper. That could change the dynamic of the lawsuit dramatically.

Of course the administration's response was inadequate.


Admin: Let's quarantine suspected cases at an old Army post.

State of Alabama (?): NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Admin: Let's quarantine suspected cases in [___], California.

Mayor of [___]: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Media: The administration isn't doing enough.
