(4,558 posts)I cant even imagine how big a story has to be now for it to stick for more than a week.
22 women charge a POTUS candidate of everything from sexual harassment to assault, one even being under age.. only has a shelf life until after the election.
Firing a FBI agent actively investingating you, as a president.. couple weeks shelf life.
Mass shootings, used to be a month, now down to the morning edition.
A president having senior campaign staff, personal lawyers, government appointees either fired, forced into resigning, indicted, or otherwise removed, good for a few days.
Letting a US territory languish and suffer for over a year after a horrendous natural disaster - a few weeks.
Supporting a Senate candidate with an exposed pattern of predatory behavior with high-school girls going back decades - just until election is over.
So many business conflicts of interest, and OBVIOUS violations of the emoluments clause - occaisonal opinion piece.
2 years of never ending shitstorms... yeah, I think its making everyone kind of numb.
