Hmmm it's almost as if those of us who pointed out that this person was a nefarious (barely) crypto-RW were completely right and those who defended her Left Wing bonafides were faceplant-level wrong. Whodathunkit?
Yet another narrative he went 100% head-first into and led the push for...that he was 100% wrong about. If only he was capable of feeling shame, I'm sure he'd be pretty embarrassed right now.
HOW?
(This was from a month ago lol)
Anyway, I don't want to leave Mikey out, but tbh his fawning support is most likely more just the product of horniness.

The reality is McConnell knows he can get away with the absolute most dangerous & shameful gaslighting behavior because the political media will spend 50x as much time talking about 'Dems in disarray' than calling him out for taking the economy hostage.
There is just absolutely no appetite among the 'objective' press corps for any sort of sustained coverage of GOP dangerous behavior, lest they get accused of being 'biased' (the worst thing in the world).
Not a single tweet about the 6-point plan put forward by Trump's lawyer to overturn the election but there are more important news stories to tweet about.
Also, currently doing a 100 tweet thread ranting about the Hunter Biden emails, for the 30th time.
There's a consistent journalistic strategy Mr. Last True Journalist does when a major piece of data comes out that's contrary to one of the narratives he's been obsessively pushing ("no coup"), and that's to just completely ignore it. Just pretend like it never even happened.
I would sure feel like a big ol' dipshit if I went all in on this (in addition to going all in on "Trump & Russia is a total hoax") story. Nobody in particular I'm subtweeting.
Hey @ggreenwald. Good news. You got the investigation you wanted so badly and it turned up.......nothing. Surely you will be relieved and will let your followers know that there was no real wrongdoing.
Just thinking about the absurdly delusional tweets of yesterday from 2 major news-shapers - Kasie (CNN) & Blake Hounshell (Politico). I never really thought the political media was great but the Trump era has really exposed them as just irredeemably bad. And consequentially so.
No matter how extreme the GOP gets, not only do they still treat the GOP as if they're a 'normal' party but they seem to just go out of there way to push GOP talking points as if they're conventional wisdom.
Is it because they see this whole politics thing as a game, detached from consequences? Or because they're so desperate to show they're not 'liberal biased'? Or because they have a ton of GOP sources (some of whom tell them reasonable things in private)?
Listen up, you freaks. Why don't you seek the context first: I was escorted off campus by security after receiving multiple reports of a 'weird looking pervert' and only *then* did I grab my speaker/mic & give a monologue to a bunch of kids, while drenched in flop sweat. Idiot!
Hahahahahaha. Must protect my protege, at all costs.
You hivemind liberal media sheep just don't have the balls to do real journalism, like what Michael Tracey did- get off his couch and go get humiliated by a bunch of college kids, whilst looking like a sweaty disheveled mess. Get off your ass and do some real journalism!
"We sit in the diner and watch people walk in the door. We look at a mask and we all look at each other and go: DEMOCRAT!"
But please tell me more about how this a product of libs being mean and not a deliberate response to the GOP turning this into yet another culture war.
Or the even dumber 'people are too busy to get it, so be nice to them' put out by the anti-anti-Dems (but don't call me conservatives) like Liz Bruenig.
The plain reality is there is no amount of coddling that will change these people's minds. Due to their own ignorance/selfishness & the extremely irresponsible messaging put out from the party messengers they blindly trust, they've screwed themselves and the rest of us, too.
