Of all the terrible things Trump is trying to do, the thing I find the most pressing to stop is his energetic sustained attempt to destroy the free press. God only knows what he’ll do if he manages to fuck up the press and nobody can see what he’s doing. I’m curious to know if this is something people here have been…

When even Fox News rants against Republican leadership, you know we’re living in Topsy-Turvy Land!

We may well be in the midst of a slow-motion coup. If you were going to try to undermine democracy in this country, you would probably start by attacking the judiciary, the free press, the intelligence agencies, and the voting system. If you can succeed in undermining public confidence in those institutions and…

Any leader who calls a free and independent press “the enemy of the people” is an existential threat to democracy.

GUYS - The story isn’t that Pruitt was confirmed. The story is that Pruitt was confirmed days before there’s going to be a 3000 email dump of his departments communications with Big Oil. He was been withholding public requests for documents illegally for years. A judge demanded he release them and the fucking congress…

Sounds like it was a press conference about Hillary Clinton. I LOVED it when that reporter from NBC fact checked him on his claims that he had the largest EC margin since Reagan. Trump’s only response was “Well, someone gave me that information!”

At this point, I’m no longer anti-Trump...I’m simply pro-competence and pro-professionalism. My bar has dropped so far that I’m thinking to myself that Ted Cruz wouldn’t have been so bad.

Breitbart didn’t need sources. He just made shit up. Then God killed him, proving that using sources is the better way to go.

Hahaha. And with that comment you’ve single-handedly proven the widely held belief that Trump supporters are hysterical drama queens with below average intelligence.

There’s no safe spaces anymore snowflake.

“No more journalism here, just pure politics.”

You changed my mind. Trump is not fucked up, is he?

Hmm... what do you think journalism is good for, if not to cover politics?

As I Jew, I speak for all the sane Jews*, when I say we fucking hate Miller, Kushner, and Ivanka. Fuck them and allowing themselves to be used as tokens. Fuck them and how they misrepresent our values to the world. Fuck them for providing anti-semitism a voice.

Next jackass who tells me Hillary was a traitor because she might not have been perfect about her emails gets ripped a new one.

Those fuckers spent ten million investigating Hillary. They better investigate Flynn with the same rigor. I am not hopeful. If I have learned anything is that IOKIYAR
