Sounds like you’re admonishing regular people for being upset about his unprecedentedly ugly behavior. He’s crossed many, many bright red lines before this one and is waging a soft war against “blue cities” (most Americans) in every way he can think of.

We need a pledge for all candidates to sign. “I will not serve an obscure Senate rule. I will serve my people and pass bills they want.”

ICE _could_ be being used to focus economic harm on blue states, but that’s just the vibe I’m getting from news coverage of farm raids in NY and CA.

All that said, I’d guess the potential demand for nonpartisan TV news must be getting vanishingly small and the right has already given up on the MSM. But if an org wants to give it a go hanging onto some journalistic standards, I’m not gonna complain.

That many deeply agree with Moran’s opinion doesn’t make it reporting and I’d think it wouldn’t even pass an editor’s review for an opinion section. Conveying that Miller is broken inside is easily conveyed through real reporting.

Throughout 2020 he ignored sagging polls and kept doing what he liked. My bet is he ignores that lifeline.

Not realistic. Bribers need assurances, so Pam Bondi has a card table set up with the bucket and gives them a blank executive order to fill out and they get a receipt for their taxes.
