    I’m with you on the legal side, but on the media side, wtf. I’m tired of having to check whether each piece of new, devastating evidence is in fact a) new and not some new wrapper around an article from yesterday b) actually devastating, not routine filing and c) relevant at all.

    That’s no dig at this particular article, but these headlines are inducing a “shit or get off the pot” mentality as far as trying to keep up.

    Edit: I would like to note that this headline engages in speculation (note the word “may”). That is some “shit or get off the pot” shit. I’m tired of what “may” happen. At least in the headline. Speculation has its place. It’s in the body of a well-sourced article.

      The media has been milking the nations politics for a long time now. In 2016 CBS CEO was quoted saying Trump was making them lots of money. It’s the same thing here, they think they can outlast the fascism so they don’t seem to care about the damage it does

      Not to say that those that write articles about how extra doomed Trump is this time for sure but probably not yet…… are hurting the nation like CBS did with Trump but it does have a negative effect.

      I guess they don’t want people to forget but the fatigue is real. That’s part of trumps delay tactic and his bullshit as a whole for that matter
