    You realize this is the same way it was initially reported by many rightwing news outlets too? Google hasn't even updated the headline in their search results for the one below yet and you can see they reported it as a fall and then loud noises in the wayback machine. Think about how much worse it would be to report a loud noise as an attempted assassination and then it turned out to just be firecrackers or something. It would be irresponsible journalism. When I first saw the video on a random social media account I didn't even know he had gotten hit cuz it was too far away to see blood and he'd ducked under the podium.

    All media is biased in some form but like...what do you think their plan would be by purposefully reporting a presidential shooting as a loud noise? How would that even benefit a leftwing outlet? With the 24 hour news cycle headlines can be easily updated and it's better to play it safe until facts are confirmed — esp with so much misinfo out there

    obviously all of this is awful for the country, but I take comfort in the fact that Trump is almost certainly miserable

    reasonable people can disagree about the democrats' strategy re: all the russia stuff––i think it was played poorly by the party and, anecdotally, made a lot of people, including elected officials, look downright silly––but you have to be either a hyper-partisan republican or almost unbelievably stupid to not see that there was brazen corruption there, as there was in virtually every corner of the trump administration.

    Mueller's investigation netted 34 indictments/guilty pleas and outlined at least ten examples of the president obstructing justice. Calling it a purely partisan issue is an admittance that the Republican party doesn't give a single s--- about *actual* corruption anymore. They'd rather wail about, idk, Nancy Pelosi getting a haircut or something

    If you want a fake political investigation without any discernible substance, look at the multiple Benghazi probes that found no wrongdoing, or Bill Barr's "unmasking" investigation that recently ended with a whimper. I'm sure you'll tell me the Durham probe will be a different story!!
