Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

The Mallorca rule applies here too: if you can't function outside of Bödefeld-Schmallenberg, just stay in fucking Bödefeld-Schmallenberg. Not like the rest of the world is jonesing for a visit from some of the least fun people on the planet.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Trump is systematically seeking to minimize the crime of sex abuse by nominating so many associated with sexual abuse to top jobs. He is seeking to further institutionalize the core mantra of MAGA "men," "Your body, my choice." The nominations are themselves therefore a form of sex abuse.
