And, If You're Evil, All The Better!

I take it that Moscow Mitch still has his job as $enate Minority Leader for at least 6 reasons including:
1. He's being rewarded for doing such a fine job in upping the Nazification of the $upreme Court.
2. He's done everything that GOP Dear Leader Trump has asked of him.
3. Vladimir Putin loves him right where he is and won't approve any changes, yet.
4. The other Republican $enators love the truckloads of rubles he brings in.
5. Even though brain-impaired, he's more functional than The Diaper Don!
6. Maybe he's just blackmailing everyone.
I also find it telling that no one in the world of media hacks and media subversives has suggested that their boy be removed from his position despite his obvious health condition. Not a peep from the likes of Wolf Blitzer, Sean Hannity, or the New York Times. Gee, I know they like Majority Leader Schumer's passivity, but I wonder what they'd be saying if Chuck also froze up on TV from time to time.
Actually, I don't wonder at all.
My two cents FWIW. I am also a long time subscriber to the NYT but I can't see dropping it although I have been tempted MANY times. I dropped the Chicago Tribune in 2004 when they didn't endorse John Kerry but there were local outlets and media that picked up the slack including one that is very good. My point is that IMO there is no other national outlet to pick up the slack if I drop the NYT. And there are a few reporters on their staff that are very good.
BTW if you want some extremely well written anti-Trump commentary and reporting, subscribe to the New Yorker. Jane Mayer has been exemplary.
Selah.
The goebbelsification of ALL media and the ghastly state of politics are both symptoms of the same cancer: all voters who vote do so as if 99.3% are just dumber than shit. Since about 1968 if not longer. About half who vote are pure evil as well.
How can you tell? They seek profit and, as such, seek to attract their biggest audience. Journalism does not exist anymore, not since reagan. It's all marketing strategies. It's been a gallop to the lowest common denominator for 6 decades.
I am thinking I should drop my subscription to the NYT. All in with the Orange Menace are they? The NYT contributed to ruining Hillary too —- but her emails!!! Wow has that great paper declined. Sad, sickening and very unfortunate for the USA.
