Major US cities are experiencing outbreaks of violence caused by armed gang members. These thugs are masked and dangerous. They attack and kidnap people off the streets and at their places of work. The group should be designated as a domestic terrorist organization. They call themselves ICE.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Here's a question for Americans. I think people identify their voting affiliation at enrolment, and that that enables them voting in primaries. But as far as I can tell there is no party membership, and no structure for members to influence policy or leadership.

So, if I have this right, all of the senior police staff that ensured this was covered up and their mate Jevon's career was safe have all gone. It's all good now. No more bad apples. Again. Sorted. Nope, no-one would ever do that again.

At what point do we publicly accept that NZ is deeply corrupt and the only reason why we don’t have a culture of direct payoffs and bribery (that we cite as the evidence for us not being corrupt) is because it’s not needed? The boys club gets what it wants through people playing their social roles.
