Not all, but way too many have helped him for the last 5 years.
This must end, because we must demand better journalism.

3. When Congress refuses to act on non-fake evidence of wrongdoing

We the people need the ability to have a recall vote on the president and our congress. Sometimes 2 to 4 years is too late to undo the damage wrought by madmen. We need the ability to act with speed.

for any legal or government ethical matters. The media has been putting out incredible pieces, investigative reviews from the Atlantic to Vanity Fair, from the W Post on lies and the NYT on taxes. Rachel!!!

We’re dealing with a sociopath, folks. They are notoriously difficult because they do not play by the same rules.

How many insecure email scandals have occurred in tRump's White House? Quite a few, including Jared and Ivanka, but all we hear are crickets.

I wish news organizations would take responsibility for the amount of power they have and for how they choose to wield that power.

Repuke politicians and the mainstream media know the majority of their constituents are dumbfucks and racists. I would just love to see a politician of any stripe call them out. I mean really call them out. Let it be known that abject stupidity is not considered a redeeming quality and willful ignorance is not to be confused with being uneducated. Fuck the idiots. Shun them. Fuck this bullshit trying to placate these assholes. Rant over.
