Welcome to another day in the American media hellscape where the former president spent his weekend posting anti Semitic memes and when you point out how hard it is to get a decently paying full time job reporting the truth instead of both sides bullshit, you get hate mail including threats of rape and suggestions that you are a communist.

Don't get me wrong I am an American who loves her country but too many of its people are beyond exhausting.

Urging a federal judge to disregard Donald Trump‘s latest attempt to cast off his indictment in Washington, D.C., for allegedly conspiring to overturn the 2020 election, prosecutors at the special counsel’s office argue Trump’s criminality “stands alone” in history and that even if he genuinely believed the 2020 election was stolen, he still used “fraud and deceit” as a means to achieve illicit ends.

As the posts continue to circulate mentioning Trumps vermin remarks and I see so many people upset that the media isn't covering it correctly, I remind you, I, a reporter who has covered Trump from 2016 and Jan. 6 unceasingly since 2021, got laid off this February on the premise that "Trump didn't matter anymore" among other bullshittery.

I asked Metro Police Dept. Officer Daniel Hodges what he thought of the ruling from SCOTUS today:

"Passing the buck to a Congress already half-filled with seditionists doesn't "turn the national temperature down". The national temperature is torrid, getting worse, and most notably not any business of the Supreme Court."
