(6,262 posts)Also subbed to WAPO and the Guardian. Both are new, and am fortunate enough to pay the dues, instead of repeating the scrub history routine that allowed reloading.
Along with regular subs to Vanity Fair and New Yorker, I hope to support expanded investigations by all.

Will they do any better this time? Magic 8 Ball says "Reply Hazy Ask Again Later."

and civic values left? That's what brought down Nixon. You knew
he was lying and a crook, and you knew it was wrong. Can the
public tell the difference anymore?
VOX
(22,976 posts)He's going to keep excoriating and insulting the press for aggravating his general paranoia. He could (easily) incite his brownshirts to literally go after them.
It's do-or-die time.
