I’m beautiful and tough like a diamond…or beef jerky in a ball gown.

  • I’m a salt mine over this.

    I like that expression.

    People are dying, poor families with disabled children are losing healthcare, trans people are under federal attack, science and education is being gutted, and on and on

    According to the people we’re both salty at, that’s apparently an acceptable price to pay to “teach the Dems a lesson”. (That was one of the most common reasons they’d give last year, and yep, I’m still salty about that too).

    But at least they saved Palestine ¯_(ツ)_/¯




  • Aside from mentioning the reconciliation process (which I agree could have been included), that’s not even close to actual journalism. It might fly on from one of the talking heads spewing endless opinions shows on cable, but reputable outlets do not “report” that way.

    Quality outlets also do not (or should not, anyway) point blame in such a brazen manner. They should report the facts and list some potential effects of those, but they shouldn’t tell you how to feel or sink into the petty bickering of the subject matter.

    I’m old-school and grew up before the plague of 24-hour cable news and worked for two different newspapers, so I’m, I guess, a little more sensitive to the sensationalist crap that gets called “news” these days. I guess what I’m saying is that this article passes my “sniff test”.
