Can you imagine the crying, wailing and venom

on hate radio and in MAGA land if Obama had torn down the East Wing without any review or approval? Good Lord the march on the White House would have been immediate and the impeachment motion immediately called for a vote. There would have been a dozen different investigations begun in Congress with a stack of subpoenas 6 feet high. That would have all been in the first 24 hours.

over Obama proposed land surveys that they called 'a land grab.'

Turned rather rabid over it, as I recall.

Turns out the only one 'grabbing land' (along with 'grabbing' something else) was their 'god sent' chosen one, to build his border wall.

(deep in the heart, as it were)

This is some kind of sick joke and proof that our justice system is more rigged than a Texas oil field

It wouldn't be confined to rw media. All of the legacy press would be hammering it front page/breaking news/24-7 too.

tangeranus has been in the politics for 10-15 years, and they never learned how to cover him. He says crazy sh*t all the time, so it washes out. They don't cover it. He belittles them and calls them names. They don't hit back or cover it. He destroys norms daily. They don't cover it.

The media is culpable for this mess. They hammer a Dem for something pretty innocuous, like an e-mail server. tangeranus just gets a pass. They could've brought him down for any of the million things he's done. Even 1 outlet, like NYT covering his misdoings on the front page on a daily basis would've done it.
