I've lost count of how many times something like this has happened.

Yawnnnnnnnn

If I had a dollar for every time a trumple used snark to avoid acknowledging the obvious, in this case that Blanche's behavior actually is an outrage, I'd be richer than I already am.

You're out here outraged every day. Obvously, you scour the internet looking for something you can screech about. How many threads have you started about Blanche, just for one example? That's why it's hard to get all upset by one of your threads and it's really more amusing than anything else.

But hey, go ahead and get outraged, why stop now?

I don't need to. Any news outlet reporting the daily events involving the regime reports stories that would bury any other admin in scandal for weeks. There's typically one or two, sometimes more, every damn day with this collection of unfit nitwits and misfits.

True, the bias is obvious.

I'll play along. What's biased about this?

In the final two years of Joe Biden’s presidency, there was a Republican Congress and a Democratic president, and the two institutions didn’t exactly see eye to eye on the nation’s policy priorities. As a result, lawmakers put aside any legislative ambitions and spent 2023 and 2024 focused almost entirely on oversight, investigating all sorts of perceived controversies related to the Democratic administration.

After Donald Trump returned to the White House, the GOP-led Congress continued to show very little interest in legislating, but this time, lawmakers also abandoned their oversight responsibilities to an almost cartoonish degree, pretending not to notice any of the incumbent president’s many abuses and scandals.

Congressional Republicans have done so little oversight, The Washington Post reported last month, that the White House Counsel’s Office, expecting Democrats to reclaim a majority in at least one chamber, recently began “giving private briefings to the administration’s political appointees on how to best prepare for congressional oversight.”

The same article added that the roughly 30-minute briefings “have included a PowerPoint presentation about how congressional oversight works and best practices for handling it.”

‘I run the protection program’: Johnson vows to shield Trump and his allies from scrutiny

The Republican House speaker abandoned all subtlety, promising to protect the White House from oversight if the GOP holds on to its majority.

The White House Counsel’s Office is giving private briefings to the administration’s political appointees on how to best prepare for congressional oversight as staff begin to brace for the likelihood of significant Democratic victories in the November midterm elections, according to two people briefed on the topic.

The roughly 30-minute briefings have included a PowerPoint presentation about how congressional oversight works and best practices for handling it, according to the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. Staff from the counsel’s office have encouraged political appointees to be careful about what they put in writing and provided guidance for how to respond to congressional inquiries in a timely manner, the people said.

The fact that the regime is spending time prepping staff for investigations is very likely unprecedented. Necessary due to all the ethical and illegal violations it has been involved in. Like 1. Blocking the release of evidence to MN in the Good/Pretti investigations. 2. Not releasing the result of the investigation in to the bombing of a schoolhouse in Iran. 3. Violating the Epstein File Transparency Act. The list is extremely long.

Oh, no you don't. You don't prove or disprove a macro analysis with a single incident. That's not how it works.

And neither can you use some anecdotal examples (which you have yet to do) and fairly make the claim they represent bias in the aggregate.

You are correct, I have not done that because I know better.

You know better than to try to prove something for which there is no factual support.

I would not try to prove overall leftwing bias in the major press by citing individual incidents of said bias in the talking heads on TV, that is true, and neither should you. I would do things like cite which political party receives the most donations from the media, the slant of coverage toward Republican candidates vs democrat candidates, the way TRUMP! was treated in the press vs how Stumbling Joe, The Shrieking One and Cackles were treated, etc. That is, of course, if I ever felt the need to prove something so obvious and widely accepted.
