2. Decades of corrupting and co-opting the media.
Mon Jan 19, 2026, 11:53 AM

Bill Clinton got savaged over a consensual affair. Hillary got savaged over a technical IT decision involving a mail server that handle over 100k email, of which they retroactively decided a fraction of a percent of which should have been classified.

There's an endless list of nothing burgers that the media uses to derail careers.

Meanwhile, Donnie has been formally found liable for sexual assault and defamation and guilty of fraud and contempt. Those stories and many more outrages are treated as basically footnotes of history.

Donnie is ignoring the constitution and laws because neither Congress nor the courts nor the media will hold him accountable.

No other politician has been allowed to operate without those guardrails.
