Also in today’s newsletter, president-elect faced ‘sufficient’ evidence for conviction in election case, special counsel report says

The NYTFT has gone all in on “a new era of conservatism” with this article.

Later, they quote a “top banker” as saying, “We can say ‘r*tard’ and ‘p*ssy’ without fear of getting cancelled … it’s a new dawn.”

I know the NYTFT has always been conservative, but this together with the way the Washington Post has been cosying up to Trump, says a lot about where the US is headed.

    “I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘r*tard’ and ‘p*ssy’ without fear of getting cancelled … it’s a new dawn.”

    Imagine how pathetic you’d have to be to say this statement unironically. But I guess that’s why this loser didn’t let them use their name.

          LOL. You may not be able to make me get off my couch, but you have the personal capability to make it not just be one Luigi. Be the change you want to see in the world before you whine about how no one else is willing to do anything.
