Yeah. This is mostly about protecting her House seat instead of her having some epiphany about being a good person.

A lot of people in the media spent a lot of time claiming to be very angry at the perceived corruption of Hunter Biden for the last 5 or 6 years.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

They should at least be broken up as monopolists at the minimum.

It's part that but mostly the resentment of the right towards experts of any kind now. They have convinced themselves that they are smarter than everyone else because of their gut decisions or whatever and want to take down all the institutions, which were obviously holding back their greatness.

They like what Trump is doing, this really isn't hard. It's not both-sideism, it's running cover for the regime by choice in order to reach a desired outcome. Can we please stop cutting this institution slack it does not deserve?

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

It's amazing how many fires are out there directly because of this fucking guy.

Not only in the direct aftermath but for the year or so after that. It was one thing to support college students protesting the war but not the outsiders who showed up to spread rank anti-Semitism (which a lot of people excused).

They called the January 6 rioters Antifa at first before calling them all undercover FBI agents under the control of Pelosi and then settling on them being American heroes.
