Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

Sure, conservatives are in the middle of a gleeful orgy of corruption, kidnapping, rape, and murder, but the real problem is when liberals say it's bad.
Imagine looking around America in 2025 and thinking, "What we need less of is morality."

Do you suppose this disparity in how Democrats and Republicans are treated in the media is an example of what Noam Chomsky wrote in “Manufacturing Consent”? The entities involved are profit driven, and if they’re political donors as well, they’ll likely favor the GOP as more friendly to their aims.
Think about how much the press obsessed over Barack Obama’s “relationship” with former Weatherman Bill Ayers, a relationship that consisted of their serving on the same nonprofit board of directors for three years.
It's remarkable that the number of news analyses/pundit takes that the Democrats are too extreme--out of touch, too focused on divisive cultural issues, too beholden to progressive orthodoxy--far exceeds the articles on the Trump/GOP's connections to the far right. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...

I really don’t know what to say to this.

“This will be very very bad. You want to see the U.S. go dark? You don’t like electric cars and technology? Do you want to go back to the jungle?”

I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror if I got up on that podium day after miserable day to condescend to the public the way she does to protect a guy like that.
As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?"
She did not respond.

The contrast could hardly be sharper. My friends and neighbors, armed only with whistles and voices, spend their weekend fighting off heavily-armed paramilitary goons. Meanwhile, these jagoffs capitulate, but not before securing another $1 billion for their own security.

You’ve heard of an “Irish goodbye” (leaving a party without telling anyone), but how about a “Roanoke goodbye”? (Writing ‘CROATOAN’ on the bathroom mirror in lipstick and disappearing out the window…)
