My wife's career has been vaporized. My kids haven't seen a classroom in 6 weeks. If the "bend the curve" goal has changed to something else, you're gonna have to do a shitload more to explain this change to me than just "do as we say".
The Kavanaugh railroad is the most politically clarifying event in my life, and it is why, as the New York Times seems intent on reminding us, I will crawl over broken glass to vote for a guy I don't particularly like next year.
That pressure included threats from mutual friends that there would be a smear campaign targeted at her if she didn't support Ford's account, which really shows extent to which those people were interested in the truth.
Police are only allowed to breach on the ground level (§ 420.69 ), Any arrests that result from a second floor or higher are unlawful arrests and you are legally allowed to resist. Don’t give up!
It is bizarre watching people who lose their minds over Russia buying facebook ads go whole hog into parroting Chinese propaganda during a literal pandemic.
The Tea Party got exponentially worse media coverage that Antifa, who are trying to burn American cities to the ground, and the Tea Party picked up their own trash.
This might end up being one of the biggest scandals in American journalism history. Mainstream American journalists aren't just downplaying a hostile foreign power's actions. They are actively running interference for them, and criticizing their own country in the process.
It’s becoming impossible to ignore that the people screaming for extended, near-permeant lockdowns in the media all have uninterrupted paychecks and the “shared sacrifice” to them means their favorite restaurant is only doing delivery/pickup orders.
This really is rich. The crew that was making wild, unfounded, and ultimately untrue allegations for close to 3 years is upset about using the word “spying” appropriately?
The biggest problem isn't even the boycott; it's that they've become a cultural punchline. This is now like having an AOL email address or driving a minivan. People avoid it so their buddies don't rip them. Not sure how you fix that as a brand.
People would be a whole lot less shocked by media behavior if you stopped looking at them as journalists and instead as the national Democrat Party marketing team, which is what they are now.

"Protecting the American flag is admirable."
Wait a second. You motherfuckers have been pushing this "Russia stole the 2016 election through Facebook memes" happy horseshit for two goddamn years. Now Rubio correctly points out that South Florida Democrats are brazenly violating election laws, and he's "doing Putin's work?'
Just watch how many NYC journos scream about Florida beaches being (heavily restricted) reopened. None of these motherfuckers said a God damn word about those hotbox disease-spreader subway cars remaining completely open, no restrictions.
I only met Bernie Sanders one time. Completely unprompted, he said “it’s very nice to meet you, John. Women only belong in the kitchen or bedroom. Pass it on.” Ive never mentioned it until now, but figured I should share my story.

China is bad.
The Chinese people aren’t bad.
Asian people aren’t bad.
China is bad.
This isn’t xenophobic or racist or whatever. It’s just the reality. I’m not sure why this is difficult to say for people who scream “Russians!” all the time. But the Chinese are bad actors.
It really is amazing watching the American media, who were obsessed with a few hundred thousand dollars in Russian Facebook ads for 4 fucking years, just straight-up publish Chinese propaganda during a pandemic they started.
If you’re arguing that Biden is too old for the job, you must ignore his strong, sharp delivery of clear carefully worded, fully informed & authoritative answers in today’s press conference in Finland 7 time zones from DC without a hint of jet lag.

I dont talk much about abortion. I don’t like it generally, but I’m not what any pro-lifer would call pro-life. What’s happening in NY and VA right now is so far outside the lines of the “debate”, it’s nauseating. National reporters aren’t getting that or don’t care.
Here is my current political breakdown, and I think there are many like me: Republican, but don't like Trump and didn't vote for him. Like some things about he's done, hate others. Think Democrats are currently bordering on insanity. Think the media is completely unhinged.
Note to Trump fans celebrating today: Russia is just 1 of 195 countries in the world. There are still 193 countries he could have possibly colluded with.
I seriously can't get over this. This is the center of the epidemic. But useless simpleton journos keep bashing Florida for partially reopening beaches.
Really bold strategy for Democrats to embrace the "Your kids must wear this face diaper for nine hours a day while learning they're evil for their skin color and your daughter now has to compete against boys in sports" policy initiative before the next election.

I live in the Northeast and I've never been happier for that. I'll take 50 Cuomos and Faucis over DeSantis and the "Jesus won't let me get COVID" people any day.
“I understand why somebody beat a sitting US Senator and put him in a hospital”
This is basically a running joke on the left, and has been for a long time. And it’s just excused, by Twitter, journalists and the media. Why?
Democrats’ verbal targeting of everything from plastic straws to cheeseburgers is stoking fears among anti-Trump forces that they’re unwittingly playing into Republican culture wars
Hillary Clinton apparently worries that Americans worry she'll disappear from the public scene. '"I want to be sure that people understand I'm going to keep speaking out," Clinton said. "I'm not going anywhere." From

My five-year-old daughter turned to me tonight and said, with a tone of both sadness and regret, "When will the Honorable Eric Swalwell unleash the full fury of our nuclear arsenal on our domestic political enemies, turning their hillbilly campers to ash and dust?"
This is gonna get fact-checked to oblivion by the blue check chucklehead brigade as false, and in three months, it'll be true. Easiest prediction in the world.
DeSantis: “Those individuals who have gone through a normal vaccination series for COVID—you will be determined to be unvaccinated very soon…They’re gonna to tell you: ‘You have to get a booster, otherwise you could face loss of employment’…This is just the tip of the iceberg.”
Kaepernick is being blacklisted. It’s the politics of the owners, rather than the fans, that counts. Most NFL fans lean Democratic. But while NFL fans may be Democrats, the NFL’s wealthy owners are primarily Republicans. My

Socialism has destroyed countries. It is inherently evil. We are largely successful because we have avoided it. Yet virtually every national journalist either plays footsie with the ideology or openly endorses it.
"Do you think 'China Virus' is racist", the American journalist screamed at the president during a briefing about a FUCKING PANDEMIC. I cannot possibly overstate how much I hate these people.
Some demonstrators have locked the doors from the outside of the Justice Center and are lighting fires on 2nd Avenue. They are also tampering with the roll up doors of the Justice Center on 2nd Avenue. This is a life safety issue. Remove the items now!
It is nearly midnight, temperatures have reached the mid 50s, and yet hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters have remained seated outside UCLA’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment, protecting it from law enforcement and counter protesters.
It’s funny watching reporters acting like Barr is some vicious partisan when they treated Eric Holder like he was some aww shucks centrist public servant.
A reminder that this is no-joke currently America’s greatest hero. What he’s doing is absolutely incredible, essentially by himself, and he gets virtually no attention for it.
As soon as the clock ticked past 5 p.m. on Friday — signaling the limited reopening of beaches in Jacksonville, Florida — people flocked to the shoreline in droves, despite concerns about spreading the coronavirus further

Oh no! Some people are walking on the beach keeping to themselves. Maybe a NYC liberal arts grad journo should write another story about it after taking the subway to work.
Sucks Gunn was fired, but I’m 100% on team Ace on this one. Only when the rules are applied equally on both political sides will everyone get fed up with this ridiculous crap.
I can’t even muster any anger over this stuff. I am just frozen jaw-on-the-floor in shock watching this whiplash play out in front of me like this. Do they think the internet wiped its entire history last year?

"The right isn't running an intellectually honest operation to get to the bottom of whether Tara Reade was victimized. The right is running a smear campaign against Joe Biden."
