A year ago, when Trump told multiple members of Congress, all citizens, all women of color, to go back where they came from, this was my plea to the press. It has...not panned out. Image
Barely a stretch to say Trump could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and the MSM headline would be like, "PROJECTING STRENGTH, TRUMP TESTS CAMPAIGN HYPOTHETICAL."
Pro-Trump media bias isn't limited to topsy turvy headlines. It's ingrained in cable news coverage decisions as well.

Originalism is the doctrine that proves the founders meant to authorize 21st century Republican governing priorities and nothing more.
Let's say you hate the welfare state, but realize it's far too popular and ingrained to be dislodged politically. You have to turn to the courts, which means you need to argue that the things you hate are all by sheer coincidence prohibited by the Constitution. Thus, originalism.

At this point the only purpose of drawing these obvious observations to the attention to the relevant chairs and leaders is the create an easily searchable record of all the failures and scandals that went uninvestigated.
I guess since this was only three-fourths of a Benghazi it's therefore only worth zero-fourths the outrage?

Floating in the background of the horrendous corruption we witnessed yesterday is the fact that the whole apparatus, from Barr down to these propagandists, has its sites on whoever leaked the news of Flynn's betrayal of the country, and thus his compromised position, to the Post.
That leak was designed to protect the country, but was also very likely illegal. If Barr's goon squad finds the leaker, Trump either gets his scalp, or we find it was someone (like the former president or, uh, current Dem nominee) who had declassification authority at the time.
Either way, the political fallout will be vast. Not because it will vindicate Trump on the merits in any way, but because Republicans aren't scared of using power to shape public opinion. The Obama administration sabotaged Trump! Someone might go to prison for it!
