This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

The fact that Fountain Park and The Ville got hit, and especially the tower collapse and death at Centennial Christian, is just so unfair and heartbreaking. So many churches would have been empty on a Friday afternoon but not them. They were feeding the hungry.
The Fountain Park and The Ville Neighborhoods are made up of people who have fought for 50 years to preserve their rich heritage. They were making amazing progress. The #STLtornado is a devastating setback.

The use of "worse than 9/11" for events or situations in which not a single soul has died is a weird Republican hyperbole tic that really tells us how their minds work. Mike Kelly (PA-16) used that line on the day that birth control became available without a co-pay under the ACA.

The President of the United States can hand out clearances like candy if he chooses to do so. Things like this are legal because no one ever thought about the possibility of a POTUS being a completely irresponsible person.
I know this has been said countless times in the past few months but… how can this be legal? Better yet, how is it allowed to happen?

I found some of the discussion on Reddit and elsewhere but even there it felt like I was jumping into the middle of a conversation I had missed the beginning of.
