Arizona Republic received death threats after endorsing Clinton. This is a photo of the Republics Dan Bolles car after he died in an explosion in 1976. Some of the threats invoked this incident.

The kind of people who would wear a shirt like that simply have no internal logic. Best to just not waste brain cells and energy beyond that.

It sucks. I was a young female journalist in the south covering the 2008 and 2012 elections for a subsidiary of the NYTimes when a lot of this “mainstream media” distrust was beginning to foment at the behest of Fox News. You’re taught to let a lot of it roll off your back. People feel completely comfortable

One good thing about this election?

I’m actually stunned by how stupid you sound tbh

What gets me is that these people wearing these shirts are pro-free speech. What is fucking wrong with these people?! Freedom of speech and freedom of press are closely related both are first amendment rights. Both protected from retaliation by the state and their fucking candidate would unquestionably deny that right

People are worthy of respect even when they’re wrong. But people’s shitty ideas don’t deserve respect, and that’s a rather large distinction.

The only thing I’ve ever bought at IKEA that survived a move was this:

THANK YOU. I’m so over it, especially since they’ve done analyses and the average Trump voter has a higher income than the average HRC voter. They’re just racists and sexists, let’s not pander.

Seriously. One of my new coworkers, who is voting for Hillary, was saying that while she really doesn’t want Trump to win she’s not convinced that Hillary isn’t “almost just as bad.” I mean, ok, I’m glad she’s casting the smart vote, but WTF? What news sites are you reading, girl? This girl is also super successful,

You know, this election has forced us to examine race and gender relations like no other moment in American history. The NYT has a great, somewhat skewed (the author was basically asking readers to care about the feelings of white men to which I’m like no bitch but thanks), article on white male fragility, which I

What? I always get an answer, something like: “Benghazi! Emails!” Then if you ask them for actual details they have no fucking clue. But they think they’re making a powerful argument just by saying the words.

Remember the “who needs civil liberties when they’re dead?” A far cry from “give me liberty of give me death”, eh?

I like when he calls journalists the “worst people on the planet.” The worst. In the same speech he talks about ISIS beheadings.

Truth hurts and they’re forever suffering, if you hear them tell it.

I think liberals are too willing to entertain terrible ideas. I mean, if you open a conversation by threatening to lynch someone because you don’t like the facts they report I don’t see why i should talk to you about anything.

A man at a Trump rally in Minneapolis this weekend sparked outrage after a Reuters photographer spotted him wearing a shirt that read, “Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.”

You know all those “We must honor the Trump voters’ struggle” articles?

There are many reasons why the tired “they’re both terrible choices” thing is so fucking ridiculous but this is a really big fucking one of them. And you’re right that it isn’t something that will be solved by him losing the presidency either. It’s terrifying to think that after all of this awfulness we’ve endured

Who needs terrorists to disrupt a nation’s way of life when you can just convince half of them to hate their own constitution, to want to dismantle their own rights.
