Anti-Trump Christians must answer this question: Would they be happier if a liberal Democrat were president, one who supports abortion and the rest of the secular-progressive social agenda and sees the Constitution as a "living document" to be interpreted by individual judges? That was the choice in 2016. (as was Jimmy Carter)

The job of the media is to objectively cover stories, not to drive narratives. The job of the intelligence community is to diligently follow evidence, not to follow its cognitive bias.
The job of the state's attorney is to prosecute crime, not to play politics.
Too many minor issues are pushed along by politicians who know a good political opportunity when they see it and by big media outlets that never met a moral panic they didn't like.
"I believe that our country has become excessively punitive and vindictive about remarks that people find offensive or racist and that we need to try and move beyond that, if we can. Particularly in a case where the person is—in this case—a comedian whose words should be taken in a slightly different light." ~ Democratic candidate Andrew Yang

The American people are the real victims of “wishful thinking” journalism – the reporting of items journalists wish were true rather than items that pass journalistic standards. The public has no way of discerning good reporting from wishful reporting, particularly when the reporting is based on unidentified sources. The job of the media is to report the facts – not to engage in endless speculation without a factual basis. ~ attorney Alan Dershowitz
