I said why I was fine with Biden’s pardon. Reaction among highly engaged Dems seems overwhelmingly supportive. This tweet, I think, helps explain why. The pardon taps into the almost unfathomably deep ocean of “fuck you” Dems are feeling toward the gatekeepers of political discourse in the country.

99% of Americans don't know what a pardon is.
60% of that 99% voted for Trump
An ivy doesn’t make you the arbiter of truth or apparently smart in any measure.
I’ll keep following #democracydocket and real journalists.

Some Mariana Trench shit here.
They haven’t committed a crime we still have free speech in this country. They haven’t been charged with a crime so what is he gonna pardon?
Doubt Biden issues any death row pardons tho
Update meme
These were the same people begging for a pretrial pardon for Ollie North.
1.) if you can’t make that argument you don’t deserve to be an advocate.
2.) you had four years to convince your republican friend. Maybe it’s time to admit they were never your friend.
Do you have a response? Do you care?
Thanks Joe Biden
So keep going President Biden.
It’s a start.
Interestingly, not all, or even most, Never Trumpers.
...we kick them in the ass.
Those political gatekeepers when they talk among themselves, know it hasn't been anything more than "entertainment content".
Their political kayfabe is out of style.
No fucks left to give.
They’re fucking liars pretending they’re not liars while calling the other side a bunch of liars.
The other side ain’t pretending the way Dems do.
Not so funny, honestly. 🤷🏼♂️
Poor Knoller... .
Because in that news conference Biden could have hammered home again and again the coming danger that a Patel led FBI + Bondi led DOJ would be capable of bringing.
Dems just don't know how to fight an information war.
Had these bastards covered Trump the way they covered Biden, we wouldn't be here now. Yes, 100% fuck them.
But it does definitely bring out reactions like this that are pretty WTF
Journalists have ignored him for 4 years.

in issuing it.
The problem is the pardon steps on the Dems’ message.
Political success requires clear, repeated messaging. The pardon cuts against the Dems’ pro-rule of law, pro-norm message. That may help the GOP. That’s Nichols’ point.
What the NC Leg did? Not so much.
FU to "norms above all" indeed.

There are NO Prosecutions of any of the Tens of Thousands who have committed that crime here at all.

Tl:dr fuck the NYT for every moment since they cheerleadered us into invading and occupying Iraq.
It's Blue MAGA, except Joe Biden is somehow an even more pathetic cult figure than Trump

Fuck legacy news media
C'mon, Mike. Get it together.
They became little more than access hungry headline chasers.
Reporter: Mr President…
Biden: they don’t want to listen to answers. Let’s dance.
Biden being in his 80s never should have been equated to Trump trying to overthrow the government, and yet it was.
This is absolutely true.
I'm more than ready for some good ol' "fuck you" attitude among Democrats.
