The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

I'm glad the right candidate won, and I'm really glad that race is over.

Maybe Roy will go away for a while.

no idea what the reputation of the USA editorial board is like, but damn :o :o :o

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/ ... 945947001/

And as is the case with all of Trump's digital provocations, the president's words were deliberate. He pours the gasoline of sexist language and lights the match gleefully knowing how it will burst into flame in a country reeling from the #MeToo moment.

A president who would all but call Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand a whore is not fit to clean the toilets in the Barack Obama Presidential Library or to shine the shoes of George W. Bush.

This isn’t about the policy differences we have with all presidents or our disappointment in some of their decisions. Obama and Bush both failed in many ways. They broke promises and told untruths, but the basic decency of each man was never in doubt.

Donald Trump, the man, on the other hand, is uniquely awful. His sickening behavior is corrosive to the enterprise of a shared governance based on common values and the consent of the governed.

well here you go

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the ... 06d1c1acab

If you're thinking this is just more criticism from another liberal editorial board, you would be wrong. As the unofficial newspaper of U.S. travelers, USA Today strives for political neutrality, even on its opinion page. It has never endorsed a presidential candidate.

“Our editorial board believes in a common-sense, centrist approach in which the two sides work together to find reasonable compromises to solve the nation's problems,” editorial page editor Bill Sternberg said in an online video last year.


Sternberg added that USA Today does not endorse presidential candidates because “as a national newspaper, we don't presume to tell our readers in every region which is the right choice for them. . . . Another reason is that we don't care to be aligned with either major political party. Many readers don't understand the wall between the editorial page and the news section. So if we were to endorse a Republican candidate, it might create an inaccurate perception that our news coverage would tilt toward the GOP, and the same goes for a Democrat.”

USA Today has viewed Trump as a special case, however. Although it did not editorialize in favor of any presidential candidate in 2016, the paper did offer this advice to readers: “Resist the siren song of a dangerous demagogue. By all means vote, just not for Donald Trump.”

USA Today had “disendorsed” a politician only once before — in 1991, when former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke was the Republican nominee for governor of Louisiana.

CDC gets list of words forbidden by Trump administration

In some instances, the analysts were given alternative phrases. Instead of “science-based” or ­“evidence-based,” the suggested phrase is “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes”

The irony here is that Trump's trashing of the FBI is the epitome of being "anti-law enforcement", but none of his followers will ever see it that way
