What? Republicans should love the NYT! Not only did they sell the Iraq war for them, but they arguably helped elect Trump by legitimizing him in the eyes of the national press (setting aside that they did so at the DNC's behest.) The value of the resulting publicity was measured in hundreds of millions of dollars, likely over $1B, that Trump and the GOP didn't have to spend.

More to the point, if you had clicked on the article, you'd have primary sources in the form of dozens of screencapped tweets from Trump and his inner circle. You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think.

Edit: LOL, the story just keeps getting better: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/antifa-j...



Party affiliation is immaterial.

(Plus citing the 2nd worse cable news isn't helping to bolster your point)

Again with the media. How big a settlement did the NYT and NBC have to pay for bringing Trump's big lie to you? What will it take before you realize that you're a victim of a con job, and not an insider?

Party affiliation is very material because it's the GQP who has stalwartly protected Trump from the consequences that you (and I) would want a Biden or an Obama to a Clinton to face if the tables were turned. There is no room to BSAB this argument, contrary to those tweets about Antifa and BLM. It was all Trumpers, all along.

As usual with you people, it's not the ideology that "triggers" me, it's the hypocrisy. That, and the loss of a viable conservative opposition party. Something we desperately need in my deep blue state but no longer have, thanks to the Trumpist takeover.
