every time one of these not-so-secretly-racist "rising star" conservatives is unmasked as *extra* racist I do a quick check and YEP they've been published by The New York Times

I will personally donate $100 to the federalist society if Clarence Thomas can produce a single household item he paid for himself. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/05/us/clarence-thomas-rv-anthony-welters.html

Donald Trump was indicted yesterday and today's New York Times front page gives it a third as much space as it devoted to the infamous Hillary's Email story ... and Trump's name isn't even in the headline

wildest thing I’ve seen in three decades in this business is RNC Research running a pro-Biden Twitter account and not getting fired for it

If I’d suggested telling America that Bob Dole liked dogs and ice cream and cool cars and wore aviators my boss woulda thrown a stapler at my head

just did a quick skim of the other NYT Mike Johnson articles from this week highlighted in a sidebar to that NYT Mike Johnson article, and nope, none of them quote any Democrats either

anyway this is the quote from the sociologist; sure would've been nice to get some additional thoughts on this topic from Johnson critics!

Completely omitted from this article: Any acknowledgement that allowing Trump on the ballot despite clear constitutional language disqualifying him might also erode confidence in our democracy & constitution.

Some people think granting Trump an exemption from constitutional rules about eligibility for the presidency because you're afraid he will incite violence if you apply the constitution to him might erode confidence in our democracy & constitution, but the New York Times won't tell you that.

There's so much elite journalist consensus around granting Trump an exemption from constitutional requirements for office you'd think it was an invasion of Iraq.

Speaking of elite consensus around granting Trump exemptions from the constitution here's something I just published about the really bad reasons for that: https://open.substack.com/pub/findinggravity/p/the-threat-of-trump-inspired-violence?r=brc4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcome=true

The New York Times, an absolute tire fire of a newspaper, publishes a guest essay portraying Donald Trump as a moderate, written by a guy who is promoting the essay by saying it would be undemocratic to hold Trump legally accountable for his many crimes.

I’d say James Bennet’s ref-working has paid immediate dividends, but the Times has been like this for a very long time.

Today, Texas Governor Greg Abbott pardoned a convicted murderer and virulent racist who, after writing text messages suggesting he would kill a protester and then claim self-defense, killed a protester and claimed self-defense.

Greg Abbott's pardon of a virulent racist convicted of murdering an anti-police-violence protester, as well as Donald Trump's repeated suggestions he will pardon those who are violent on his behalf, are calls to action. They are about the future, not the past. https://www.findinggravity.net/p/republican-politicians-embrace-another

It is not coincidental that Daniel Perry, the murderer Greg Abbott pardoned today, is a virulent racist who telegraphed his intent to go out hunting for someone to kill. Abbott wants people like Perry emboldened -- and everyone else afraid. https://www.findinggravity.net/p/republican-politicians-embrace-another

In pardoning this murderer, Greg Abbott claimed Perry was "standing his ground."Bullshit. Perry told friends he would kill a protester then claim self defense ... and then he went out and killed a protester and claimed self defense. That isn't standing your ground, that's hunting.
