Seems a great many amoral Canadians did vote for him.

For those who still think somehow that the news media has a left-wing bias, what do you think the odds are that any news organization is going to report on the President threatening to strip the citizenship of an American just because he doesn't like her?  If Biden tweeted this, it'd be all over the news for weeks, calling for him to resign...

It's uttered - that the news media has a left-wing bias - when the person making the accusation has a markedly right-wing bias, and the intent behind an ad hominem attack like this is generally to dismiss or basically shut up the media without actually offering substance. It's like publicly shaming a respectable journalist in a general, broad fashion without offering an example. And, yes, we've seen double standards well before Trump. Compare, for example, Adam Giambrone's tryst on a city hall couch and the subsequent derailing of his mayoral aspirations with Rob Ford's endless antics before and while mayor.

There has been a huge backlash from Trump's own followers against their dear leader (and Pam Bondi) for trying to bury the Epstein case and telling MAGA to move on. Enough so that some media outlets and Trump social media influencers had been reporting about the backlash for days. Supposedly the FBI is now telling those outlets to hush up...

Under ANY other administration, I would never believe the FBI could be cajoled into this kind of role, but this is the FBI now under the less than sparkling clean Kash Patel, so anything is possible and likely:



So if anyone here is on Truth Social or watches FOX News and can confirm that the right-wing mouthpieces have reverted back to the Biden "scandal" over auto-pen, that would be appreciated.



Too bad Biden isn't on the list (or maybe he is!) because the right-wing media wouldn't be so quick to change their tune. These are the times we live in, though.

From reichwingwatch this morning:

MAGA youth leader Charlie Kirk says he’s done talking about disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein after President Donald Trump begged him to rein in attacks on Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Kirk told The Charlie Kirk Show listeners on Monday that he thinks the administration committed a “messaging fumble” on Epstein and that he’d like to see the administration unseal more information about its investigation into the late sex offender, who died by suicide in 2019.

But Kirk, the founder of conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, said he would leave any more comments on the matter to the Trump administration.

“Plenty was said this last weekend at our event about Epstein,” Kirk said, referring to this past weekend’s Turning Point USA Student Action Summit. “Honestly, I’m done talking about Epstein for the time being. I’m gonna trust my friends in the administration, I’m gonna trust my friends in the government to do what needs to be done, solve it, ball’s in their hands.”

His disclosure came after CNN reported that Trump called Kirk on Saturday to express his support for Bondi.

Bondi has come into MAGA’s crosshairs after the Department of Justice and FBI acknowledged in a July 6 memo that no Epstein “client list” existed and that he died by suicide while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019, rather than being murdered—the topic of widespread conspiracie among the president’s supportres. Bondi said in February that the “client list” was “sitting on my desk right now” awaiting review.

Kirk had played host to some of the Bondi criticism during the Florida conference, asking the crowd during a conversation with radio host Megyn Kelly whether it preferred Bondi or Bongino. The crowd overwhelmingly said Bongino.

“It’s 7,000 to zero,” Kirk said.

But on Monday, Kirk name-checked the three law enforcement officials at the heart of the MAGA civil war: Bondi, Bongino, and FBI Director Kash Patel, who have all squabbled over the release of the memo.

“I’m gonna trust my friends Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, my friend Pam Bondi, all these guys—Todd Blanche—I’m gonna trust them to solve it,” Kirk said. “Ball’s in their court.
