It's too easy to scapegoat the media. [View all]

People who probably don't watch MSNBC and CNN were the likely reason we're where we are today. Idiots who believe he got ripped off in 2016. Idiots who don't care he's a sexual predator, hung with Jeffrey Epstein and was convicted on multiple counts (and now, sadly, will dismiss all those cases). You can also thank the slimy Supreme Court and all the Republicans who didn't have the freaking guts to speak against him.

The legitimate media isn't the reason this country is so fucked up. Thank the illegitimate media -- Fox and all their allies. Blame Rupert Freaking Murdoch. Blame the stupids who voted for him in 2016 and were too stupid to let him go despite everything that's happened since. Despite the Madison Square Garden debacle.

It's time to get back in 2016 mode. And this time, in the words of Tom Petty, we don't back down.
