Democrats have to learn the beltway media arent their friends
ADAM PARKHOMENKO AND SAM YOUNGMAN
Want to run for president in 2028? Well heres your first decision: Do you want to spend all your time talking about her emails or her fracking positions?
Because unless we learn to get tough with a Trump-loving press corps that doesnt give a damn about the constitution or the American people, we will be walking into the same buzzsaw of bullshit that Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris did.
Think were exaggerating? Turn on CNN. You will find them talking about Jake Tappers scummy new book that insults and demeans President Joe Biden in ways that Tapper would never dream about doing to Trump. Now turn off CNN.
Tapper and Axioss Alex Thompson and the rest of the beltway butt-kissers have repeatedly made clear that they think accountability and standards should only apply to Democratic candidates and officials. Thats why Tapper is spending his time trashing Biden and kissing up to Lara Trump and Megyn Kelly at the very same time that Trump is attacking Bruce Springsteen in the middle of the night and accepting bribes from Middle East countries. To be crude, reporters like Tapper are pussies. Its way easier to get tough with Biden when you know he wont call you stupid or send a violent mob to your home. The civility police are dirty cops.

(30,619 posts)As I have said over and over lately: By virtue of his non-stop hatred, stupidity and lack of anything close to political skill, $TRUMP is in the process of handing this country back to us on a bitcoin-decorated platter. By virtue of its timid, lethargic actions, Democratic leadership isn't anywhere close to taking advantage of these circumstances. Schumer, et al: GET BUSY, OR GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!
