26. Don't want to beat up . . .

Yesterday

on the Guardian too much, as they continue to be one of the few sources of relevatively decent journalism. But really! Most of the 4th Estate has perpetuated, cheered on, sane-washed and other wise echoed every effin Trump lie over the past 10 years and rarely cared about fact checking or whether an outlandish claim he makes was a breach of decorum or beneath the dignity of the Office. But when someone accuses him of a disgusting act, NOW we have to be concerned about verifying everything out of concern for propriety and decorum? I have words for that that shouldn't be posted here . . . .
