IMO, a lot of people don't have a worldview. For them, politics is about gender performance. Andrew Schulz fantasizes about joining the military to fight for his country, but won't set his thermostat to 78°. It's not about civic responsibility, but about performing machismo.
My kids have measles, I lost my job, and a parasite that the CDC no longer monitors has given me explosive diarrhea. But at least now there’s no plaques honoring Black scientists at the Smithsonian.
Trump’s interviews today about the passing of Graham made one thing clear, again, as he immediately promoted the “save” America act:
He is incapable of compassion.
He made it all about…. Himself.
He is a empty hollow “man”
Lindsey Graham has a very complicated and tarnished legacy. Our democracy (especially women) has paid a hefty price for his Trump era decisions and behavior.
That’s just the truth.
I think @jaketapper’s defensiveness here is because he knows there’s some truth to the main criticism. He spent months hawking a book about Biden’s health with multiple segments per day during his press tour, yet he and his network haven’t shown the same level of scrutiny towards a clearly addled Trump. Trump was having senior moments at the same time @cnn was devoting more segments to Biden who was out of office by that time so Jake could sell more copies.
McConnell could not walk by himself or give statements longer than a few seconds, had multiple moments where he froze in front of cameras, and he still has to disappear for weeks before media gave sustained scrutiny to his health.
I’d have more respect for Jake if he engaged with the criticism in good faith. Instead we get doubling down like “look we did one or two segments stop criticizing me!” that only upsets me even more. Biden being old was treated as existential; it’s simply not for Republicans of similar age and in some cases worse health.
Washington OB-GYN Mark Mulholland was repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct.
Once the state medical board filed charges, it waited six weeks to announce it, allowing the doctor to keep seeing patients.

I see the "Fuck Your Feelings" crowd is out policing civility this morning.
Remember when Lindsay blasted Trump for mocking Robert Mueller's death? Or Colin Powell's? Or John McCain's?
Odd...me either.
This is such a dishonest take.
We despise the comments celebrating Lindsey Graham’s death, but this kind of behavior isn’t exclusive to either side. Donald Trump literally celebrated the death of former FBI Director Robert Mueller, a highly decorated Vietnam veteran.
