    An opinion piece trying to twist the man’s words.

    The Times published a list of Trump’s first 10,000 lies in office.

      That was The Washington Post

      And the quote you’re saying is being twisted out of context is:

      It’s our job to cover the full range of issues that people have. At the moment, democracy is one of them. But it’s not the top one — immigration happens to be the top [of polls], and the economy and inflation is the second. Should we stop covering those things because they’re favorable to Trump and minimize them?

      That, to me, is way worse than what the headline says.

      Also, I had somehow forgotten this – they have a new head editor as of 2022. I think that’s when it all went to shit. I don’t know much about the guy, but his Wikipedia entry is pretty bizarre:

      “Kahn is of Lithuanian Jewish descent and the eldest child of Dorothy Davidson and Leo Kahn (1916–2011), founder of the Purity Supreme supermarket chain in New England and co-founder of the global office supply chain Staples. Leo had been awarded a journalism degree from Columbia University, after which he briefly had worked as a reporter, prompting a continuing interest in journalism that was reflected in his frequent dissection of newspaper coverage with his son.”

        The twist is that Left people are starting to act exactly like the MAGoos; hating on anyone who doesn’t agree with them 100%.

              bro you’re so right bro pointing out your clown behaviour is EXACTLY like regessing human rights for women and queer people, regressing voting rights for black people, and trying to destroy democracy.

              you just opened my eyes bro. all of these things are EXACTLY the same as wanting to tax billionaires out of existence, as wanting everyone to have equal rights over their own body, and wanting to improve social services.

                Again, you prove my point.

                A quick look at my post history would show that I hate Trump as much as anyone, but you have decided I’m an enemy because I dare deviate from your perception.

                You attacking me doesn’t hurt the GOP which is what we both should be doing

                    grow up, fam.

                    I haven’t seen anyone use ‘yOu pRovE…’ used since 2018.
