I am starting to think that "the liberal media" has been compromised.

Key takeaways from the Supreme Court term that upended Trump’s trial

The Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority continued to shift the law to the right in 2024 but did not go as far as it could have. Sometimes, it punted.

I'm sorry, ..that is not the appropriate framing. Fuck you.

I want to be very clear about something, especially for our foreign friends. I was told at an early age that no one is above the law in this country. I was told that we were all equals. Even the president. I was told that the Constitution establishes this.

Now, I'm sitting here watching the establishment "liberal" media obsessively attempt to oust the democrat incumbent while suspiciously downplaying what is unequivocally an inversion of our Constitution in the era of an aspiring fascist politically aligned with the ruling SCOTUS majority. I think there was like one? two? op-ed(s) after Trump's felony convictions that was like "hey maybe Trump's not the best candidate for America". I saw a picture where the Monday SCOTUS decision was announced on A4 of Tuesday morning's WaPo print edition. Cancelled my membership a couple weeks ago. Good riddance.

"Ohh, hurrdurr, do you want to prosecute Obama for killing two citizens in Yemen, you dimbodumbo???". Yeah!! Yeah, I would love that. Try for a conviction, I welcome any investigation, and I'm not opposed to e.g. declassifying intel in discovery if you can subpoena it. Ah, but you can't anymore, and that sucks.

"Legal Eagle" is known for his level-headed law analysis, and this is a great video, but the thumbnail is all you need:

That is the correct take.

Our media has been captured by the billionaire class. I'm not really sure how much more mask-off pro-fascist they can go before the election, but I'm sure we'll find out.
