now there’s crowds all gathered alongside the river and it still says “Breaking News” :lol:

They found the dog again. The amount of taxpayer money going to save and film this dog as it goes down a river is pretty astonishing

Not saying its wrong but where was this defensive attitude from the factcheckers with Trump? Take the whole Charlottesville myth for example.
dude, Trump had an authoritarian-like and divisive rhetoric and got voted the fuck out mainly because of it. Move the fuck on already.

Totally irrelevant. My point was that fact checkers ought not to 'cherry pick' what they choose to fact check according to their agenda, which unfortunately they do. Just limits their credibility. Regardless of whether I support trump I would expect such websites to be be impartial.

Is this part of the right wing backlash to all the years of wokeness?
Not really, like 75% of the US is against overturning Roe v. Wade. This is because, back in 2016, Trump's promise to skeptical evangelical voters was that he would stack the supreme court with pro life justices and now we've ended up here.

You could also blame the democrats not making codifying this into law when they owned the federal government, or feminist hero RBG for not retiring under Obama and, predictably, dying under Trump

Problem with the judicial ruling on it at the time, and even RGB commented on this, RvW is bad judicial ruling. NOT LAW. That's is key. It was written on shaky ground and always should've been a federal law and not judicial ruling. The fact it went this long not being codified is just another sign of lazy legislature that didn't want to fight over something they figured was already done and dusted. RGB commented several times that RvW while necessarily and good in theory should not have been a judicial ruling and as a judicial ruling was not a very good one.

RGB warned about this. Liberal law professors have been warning and talking about this for decades. RvW should not have been allowed to be handwaved away with a judicial ruling but instead should've gone through federal legislature and been codified. In some ways, that fight is happening now but with LESS control than what would've been during a Clinton or Obama term. If this was handled properly and returned to the legislature and codified we'd have none of this discussion. But no previous administration either wanted to have that fight, wanted to go through the process and bad press of the SC undoing the ruling and then putting it into law.

Instead the can was kicked down the road and now you've got a 50/50 split in the Senate and a Congress run by conservatives who are doing what should've been done however they're doing it for their own reasons that don't align with was should've been the reason for returning this issue to the legislature.
