I remember when this would be the biggest news for weeks and end any other presidency, especially a Democratic president. Now, this will probably be the last I hear of it.
Journalists have been asked to sign a pledge to not report on reality.
Only authorized by the Pentagon will we learn "Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia".
Standards are higher when right wingers are not in power.

Labour came to power only a year ago but based on media coverage, you'd think they've been running the country into the ground for the last decade or so.
Labour is doing a shit job, shitting on freedom of expression and protest.
Damn right because the Pentagon won't let you hear it again. Nor anything about the Epstein list. I'm sure fox news won't have to go through this horse shit so we can all watch breaking news there and get dummer together.
Name a time this ended a presidency. They always got away with it.
I mean, Watergate.
But that's the point. Shit this obviously bad and fucked up was at least done in the shadows in the past. This is out in the open and it's just some weekend news.
