The utter false equivalency and sane-washing spread by the "traditional media" is off-the-charts. When is the last time you heard someone from the "traditional media" more than casually mention that Trump is an adjudicated rapist, or that he has been convicted of 34 felonies, or that he stole 11,000 pages of classified documents and was in contact with the leader of an adversary nation?

Remember 2-16 with Comey "reopened" the investigation into Hillary's emails... you know, the one's she might have accidentally retained? The media feeding frenzy was EPIC. Trump's transgressios? Barely a yawn.

So spare me the self-congratulations.

2.5 cheers? Think again. You're lucky to get one.
