Couldn't handle it? They refused to. As always, the shit stain is greased through and receives no consequences for what anyone else would be thrown down for. This fuckstain continues to make a mockery of everything while we watch.
He could shit on the flag, and they would wipe his ass with it.
Then turn around and say Kamala has gotten shit all over the american flag.
"How could she let this happen!?"
"Why won't Kamala lead?"
That's what they said about Obama all the time when the Republican Party was basically shitting into their own hands and flinging it at Democrats and the American people: "why won't Obama lead?"
(to paraphrase Bill Maher:)
"They'd blame the flag."
uh... you might want to brush up on your Bill Maher lore. he's not only conservative, but has been acting like a creep lately. like, weird with children kind of creep.
Yeah, I saw some of that video.
It's also sad.
The media is pro-Trump, not only because they are wealthy capitalists who agree with his deregulation policies and tax cuts for the rich, but also because they get higher ratings when the masses are angry. Just look at how CNN changed; they might as well just be another pro-Trump network.

Ownership of CNN changed hands a couple of years ago:
"But the bigger question floating over one of the world’s largest and most important news organizations is why it’s changing. Is it because the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, its new owner, wants an overhaul? Or is it at the behest of a conservative billionaire investor in the company who sits on its board?" source
an egregious and willful violation of long-standing norms
Even that's giving him too much credit. He broke the law.
(Again)
If Harris did something inappropriate at a cemetery, there’d be a nonstop drumbeat from them questioning if she should stay in the race.
Correct. If Biden did something like it, they'd blame it on mental decline and do the drumbeat....but yeah, if it's a Republican, it's OK, because they already have too many things in the Republican column, and they need to be "objective" by downplaying things in this column and seek things in the Democratic column and play those way up (like Walz leaving the National Guard, for instance, I mean, WTAF).
I'll say this much - so far, I've not seen one article that deals with this AT ALL in pretty much the only paper for the Colorado area: Denver Post.
And it's a huge scandal. As so many things related to donOLD, this would have sunk any candidate decades ago. It doesn't even get proper coverage now.
