ive been closely following us politics for over 20 yrs now and i cant tell you how many times ive seen stories about the imminent collapse of the gop and liberals are always falling for it.
im cynical/weary/annoying cause i see cycles repeating again and again and there's never any group memory. im like dr manhattan for crap politics (without the blue genitalia)
it is 1999 and the gop is going to be wiped out forever
it is 2006 and the gop is going to be wiped out forever
it is 2008 and the gop is going to be wiped out forever
it is 2012 and the gop is going to be wiped out forever
it is 2020 and the gop is going to be wiped out forever
this is the first time brian, who leads cnn's media reporting team, has ever mentioned on twitter what he notes is a "widely condemned" instance from a very high profile member of cnn's on-air staff. but oh well.
if someone on fox news or msnbc or one of the broadcast networks had said what santorum said, i doubt @brianstelter would have had that kind of radio silence.
"I have critical evidence on this hard drive but it's all mixed up with my vacation photos and the videos of my mistress."
"Lemme have a look at it."

"There's your bloody glove and DNA sample."

"New virus out on the streets, the kids are calling it Onlyfandom. It attaches itself to your Onlyfans account and posts pictures of the target wearing boxer briefs."
here to tell you liberals can get just as outraged about things as conservatives, points to a torrent of news stories about bushies circa 2000-2009 and trump 2005-present. but keep telling yourselves we're all a bunch of analytical vulcans.
liberals on my timeline: liberals just dont get as angry about things as the right, we're much more calm cool and collected.
"Trump insults X"
liberals: argh! argh! argh! i want to click it, i want to click it!
