"Both sides do it, both sides to it," is the mantra of the willfully stupid mainstream press, pretending against all evidence that our problem is 'the rift between left and right' instead of the growth of American fascism. To say plainly that Republicans are lying about everything and advocating policies of hate wouldn't be 'impartial journalism', so they contort the facts into knots to look fair and balanced, instead of reporting the facts.
This article is a fine example, from America's finest practitioner of mainstream and impartial journalism, the New York Times.
One family moved from Oregon to Missouri because they were sick of seeing poor and homeless people. Another family moved from Iowa to Minnesota because Iowa had banned medical care for their son.
These two families are not a matched and balanced set, fodder for a thoughtless think piece. Moving to avoid seeing unpleasant people is not the equivalent of escaping to save your child's life.
Just a brief moment of retrospective reality: Until Trump, had there ever been any ex-President publicly demanding apologies from the incumbent?
At least in my long life, the answer is no. Because all of them, despite all their faults, had some slight touch of class Trump knows nothing about.
It's the Republic of Gilead.
So fucking infuriating. Everything that ever made an American flag not worth burning seems to be over and done with.
Trump is genetically incapable of shutting up, so at last this brings us to the first 'blink' moment in all this: Are they willing to issue and then enforce this rather slight gag order when Trump inevitably breaks it?
Anyone else would've been under a much broader gag order, long ago.
Report a spammer once, for the good of the community, and then block the 'user'. Problem solved. :)
North Korea seems an odd place to escape to, especially after this poor schmo delivered "a profanity-laced tirade against Koreans." He probably won't be sending post cards to friends and family in America, but what the heck, I sincerely wish him a happy life in his new home.
Climate change isn't even mentioned in the coverage, though it's clearly a major contributing factor:
Such floods, known as glacial outburst floods, happen when glaciers melt and pour massive amounts of water into nearby lakes.
That does sound frustrating. Wish I had some good advice to offer.
Have you tried a different browser? I'm on Firefox, but some sites don't play nice with it and I switch to Chrome for a few minutes...

I'd be curious to see footage of the wave, but there's no act of nature (and nothing on earth, really) that would make me want to watch even the briefest clip from a TV newscast.
