2. Agree. It is deliberate and hateful, but we have become a country of hate.

If we had decent media not owned by billionaires who value their personal low taxes over the future of the country, their daily headlines would be calling for Trump’s impeachment and for Republicans in Congress to do their jobs. They would be pointing out the corruption, lawlessness, and lies in big, blaring headlines. I no longer subscribe to the Washington Post, but today’s NYT is just more of the same bland coverage that Trump indicted Comey, sent troops to protect Portland, and ICE arrested the Des Moines schools superintendent. In other words, all is normal.

Except one curious opinion piece about Roundup! “Spraying Roundup on crops is fine. Really.”

Roundup has been linked with cancer for decades, yet the Times thinks they should be promoting its safety!
