As we sit on the cusp of letting a year that was steeped with so many wonderful and heady possibilities go off and quietly die in some corner, I am here for a final request:The Department of Justice, with the blessing of a president cloaked by our Supreme Court with obscene powers needs to immediate...
I feel like D. Earl Stephens just realized how fucked we are.
that first quote of yours pretty much encapsulates his… remarkable lack of PAYING THE FUCK ATTENTION.
People have been raising the alarm. People have been begging, praying, demanding that Trump face consequences. Garland, Biden. most the centrist DNC’s that are too scared of appearing sane. They’re all complicit, not because of their actions, but their inaction. Yes, there were challenges. yes. Cannon deserves a special place in hell. Yes, Trump has the SCROTUS on his side.
edit:
And lets be increasingly clear about who the fuck normalized this trumpian shit-dip we’ve found ourselves in. journalists. Especially mainstream journalists. who refused to express just how fucked up the lot of this is was, sane washed his every tweet; and refused to give equal airtime to their political opponents; or held dems to task for the most quibbling little detail they could find.
Not so much the journalists, but the editors. Journalist can write an article with every scathing detail left in and it won’t get published if the editor says ‘tone down your language’.
and they tone down the language. or they never have it in to begin with.
but you can not-sane-wash and still keep it fairly “journalistic”. you just have to be honest. How many news anchors saw what was happening live, were shocked and horrified and the next week it wen from ‘riots’ and ‘insurrection’ to “protest”?
Well yeah. Their choice is to either give in to the editor’s/owners demand that the language change or they don’t have a job anymore. I’m not saying the phenomenon you describe isn’t real. Just hold the appropriate people responsible and it is the editors setting the agenda, not the journalists 99% of the time.
Sorry. He compromised as a journalist and helped normalize the shitheal. He’s part of the reason why people laughed and refused to believe that Trump was spouting Nazis rhetoric practically cloned from the Nuremberg address in 2016.
And this asshole in particular thinks it’s my fault?
I’ve been calling trump out for being a Nazis- and journalists and editors collectively ignored the signs that were sitting right there in front of everyone.
You’re right. He could have lost his job.
Booohooo. Millions of Americans have died as a direct result of trump’s presidency. A president journalists everywhere helped normalize.
You don’t get to pass that buck.
Yeah, but gaza!
/s because people can’t tell
