    Anyone else remember the sheer # of coked out interviews from a weird rotating cast of temporary whitehouse sycophants? It was especially prominent around the time of the mooch. I remember thinking the media was derelict in their duties for not putting 2 and 2 together. A bunch of “isolated” incidents i guess kinda like all the isolated maga terrorists.

      The media - or coroporate news, to be specific - not only failed spectacularly, they absolutely sold their souls and everyone else down the river in a truly astonishing display of cowardice and greed.

      I’m not saying the pizza shop owner has to take on the mob, I’m saying every single outlet joined in in supporting Trump at every level, even when they supposedly ran “anti-trump” stories. Their weaselly phrasing and mealy-mouthed spin - for years - was (AND IS) disgusting.

      Not just that, imagine when Don Jr. found out he could go to the White House and get a prescription alternative to cocaine whenever he felt like it…
