If I should post the Danish article(which I posted in my last comment) the answer would very likely be:

In the effort to get this....(ugly word) of an President removed from the Oval Office...every means are legale.

Joe Biden is so weak that he needs Obama and Obama is going to take Joe down with him.

And that's where the main fault lies; the opposition has been determined to reverse the election by any means, first it was protests, then calls for impeachment 3 months into the term, then investigations, pressuring subordinates, more investigations, accusations, impeachment, and so on.

Of course, the Republicans used a lot (but not all) of the same playbook with Obama. This is the new normal.

Here's another one as old as man kind

"You reap what you sow"

Plus "Let your yea be yea and your nay be nay"

Anything other than that is wishy washy

August, I know you'll like this article It's pretty spot on about how one-sided most media outlets are.



The media shrug at their massive bungling of major stories.

The media loves to run with “blood on his hands” stories about nefarious Republicans, but you’ll have a hard time finding even a quiet, pro-forma apology (much less an admission of bloody hands) from the media for their massive bungling of the early stages of the coronavirus story. On January 31, Vox stated, with the customary absolute metaphysical certitude that characterizes its generally undergraduate tone, “Is this going to be a deadly pandemic? No.” Vox later deleted the tweet, but instead of an apology, it said the remark “no longer reflects the current reality of the coronavirus story,” which was obvious if insufficiently humble.

On February 20, CNN gravely informed us that the real problem relating to coronavirus was racist remarks and decreased bookings at Chinese restaurants, under the headline, “What’s Spreading Faster than Coronavirus? Racist assaults and ignorant attacks against Asians.” (Number of actual assaults or attacks cited in the thousand-word article: one.) The piece quoted a Chinatown restaurant owner as saying, “No one in my restaurant has this disease. No one in Chinatown has this disease,” then followed up with these words from the reporters who wrote the piece: “Indeed, no one in the entire state of New York has been diagnosed with novel coronavirus.” So, nothing to worry about, then.

Right? The gyrations they have to do in order to twist the narrative is unbelievable.

The contrast in coverage of New York governor Andrew Cuomo and Florida governor Ron DeSantis seems to come from some bizarro world where the media considers nine deaths per 100,000 people (Florida) to be more alarming than 142 deaths per 100,000 people (New York).

In politics rational thought is better than hysteria.

[Onkel Neal]

For all the blasting Trump got for foolish remarks about the pandemic leading up to his realization of what was happening, many other politicians were no better.




San Fran was way out ahead of NY, and the results show. Some in SF knew exactly what was coming

On Sunday, Feb. 23, Colfax said he was heading home from a weekend away in the Sierras. As his partner drove and the California landscape zipped by along I-80, Colfax reviewed data on his cellphone in the passenger seat. What he saw leapt off the screen: There was the attack rate, which is how quickly the virus spreads among an at-risk population; the death rate, which is how many people die once they get it; and then, perhaps most alarming, the lack of treatment options, which showed how quickly it could overwhelm a health system.
“This is not an incremental process,” he said he realized. “And it became really clear to me that we needed to act faster than the virus,” he said. “It wasn’t as though jurisdictions were saying, ‘Oh, we overreacted.’”

Trump showed these mainstream media chowder heads a video of how often they got things wrong, and how often he got things right. All they could do is wonder if he used taxpayer money or government assets to produce the video.
